In the spiritual worlds, the law is: Fair is fair; I must give you freedom so you will give me freedom. And yet we know we must stand up to protect what we call the psychic space around us, so we don’t allow other people to push their teachings on us.

No matter how far we go, we must always be careful about our spiritual values and balance.

The real reason for our being here is to open ourselves more to this burning love of God.

Love—The Keystone of Life

Service means that every move, every thought, everything we do gets the best advantage. No matter what thought we have or what action we take, it results in the most productive deed we can do as Soul learning to become a Coworker with God.

I have often referred to this service as the Law of Economy. It means that in every way we look for the best. We look to excel in every way.

Everything happens for a purpose: to lift Soul higher and give It more experience.

An aspect of the Law of Economy is recognizing the weaknesses in any system on earth. This includes recognizing the weaknesses in our own character and makeup and working with them, as well as recognizing the same traits in other people and trying to work with them.

Earth will never be a heaven. Nor should you serve God for some cause other than your spiritual growth.

Through the Spiritual Exercises of ECK—as you create an open door for yourself into a greater world—you’ll get into the habit of looking for a brighter, more creative world out here.

You may ask: If God is more powerful than Satan, why doesn’t God stop this foolishness?

Because the negative power is an agent for God. His job is to act as the schoolmaster, following God’s will. God said, “I’ve got a schoolroom of children here. Make sure these Souls get enough of an education so that when they graduate, they can go into the spiritual worlds and stand on their own two feet. Their destiny is to become Coworkers with God, helping me in the administration of my worlds.”

The teachings of ECK work on the simple principle that love is the divine current which makes all life possible.

“The route of this quest is both a unique and solitary one. Yet all creation awaits the awakening of each individual Soul.”

“The Awakening Soul”

Do everything, large or small, as if you were doing it for God alone. That means the task will be done with love, joy, and (don’t forget) thoroughness.

The Loving Heart

The simple teaching of Eckankar is this: how to contact the Light and Sound of God, which have the power to give spiritual liberation in this lifetime.

—Harold Klemp

Dreams are a starting point for many who wish to begin the spiritual journey to God and do it in the easiest possible way. Dreams taught me to face myself, let me see the future, and took me to the heavens of God.

"Life could not exist without the Light and Sound of God. They show up in many different ways here in the material plane. They create the forms within which we move to get the spiritual experience we need to have spiritual freedom."

"The Call of Soul"

The right of choice: It’s our attitude—the way we look at things—that often determines whether we are happy or miserable, whether we are full of love or full of fear.

When you have gained power over the fear of death, there is nothing that can hold you back in this life. Problems become stepping-stones, not obstacles that trip you.

You become like the revered masters of the sacred writings. They too once walked this earth like you and me, but they learned the laws of Spirit and how to apply them to solve their own problems.

Today someone said to another person, “You are so lovely.”

And the other person answered, “Because you are seeing yourself.”

And of course, it caught the first person by surprise. Generally we see in others what we are ourselves.

The Language of Soul

When the creative imagination is working in you, life is right; you wake up in the morning to rainbows and sunshine. This means you are operating under the hand of God, as if you are living in the kingdom of heaven here and now.

—Harold Klemp

It is possible to develop a sharper recall of the dream state by keeping a notebook by the bed, with pen and light at hand.

Sri Harold Klemp

The Spiritual Life

The creative process is actually a misnomer, because creation is finished and all we do is manifest what is already there. So you’re not really creating a solution to the problem; you are manifesting something that is already there.

The potential of the rose is in the bud, but before you can see its beauty, the bud has to unfold.

There are also five virtues—ways to offset the passions: discrimination, forgiveness or tolerance, contentment, detachment, and humility.

Sri Harold Klemp

As we unfold, our potential for solving problems increases. This is simply because we have a closer, more intimate contact with the Light and the Sound of God. We expand in our circle of awareness.

—Harold Klemp

Spirit will work with each person, with each one of you, in a way that is right for you.

There are times we are given an abundance of Light and Sound, and there are times the Lord will withdraw these.

Why? For the strengthening of Soul. Saint John of the Cross called this the dark night of the Soul.

—Harold Klemp

Some people think visualization is an empty fantasy, but it’s not. We couldn’t imagine something unless there was a reality to it.

Sri Harold Klemp

As we go higher and raise ourselves in the spiritual consciousness, we are able to solve the problems of life. We are happy. We are at home in every environment.

—Harold Klemp

To let others have their freedom reflects the harmony and goodwill that is within.

Love—The Keystone of Life

When you step onto the path and ask Spirit to come into your life and give you greater unfoldment, It will. The Sound and Light pour into you whether or not you’re conscious of it. It will pour in for perhaps a year or two, sometimes longer; then when you get filled up, you have to learn what to do with It.

This is the next step, this learning how to give in some way that suits you. It won’t be the same for any two people, nor will the way that you’ve chosen to serve hold forever. Then you have to find a new way.

Like a daily report card, dreams show you how you are doing in your spiritual mission, even if you don’t know you have one.

"As we go through our many lifetimes, it's like being the eternal surfer. We become part of a wave. This wave is the Audible Life Current, the Sound Current, or the Holy Spirit. The wave is going back to God; It's going back home. And like the surfer, when you catch a wave—if you get to the crest and ride it right—you can take it all the way to the beach. If you don't ride it right, you fall off; but if you're lucky, you can catch one of the other waves that are always coming in."

—Sri Harold Klemp,
"The Secret Teachings,"
Mahanta Transcripts, Book 3

Soul is creative, infinitely creative. Our creative imagination is our gift from God. The imagination is the God-spark, the part of us that makes us like God. And you can direct it toward whatever needs improvement in your life.

When today is different from yesterday, we accept it. This is called living in the detached state of consciousness. We accept what we have here in the moment, without any regrets for the past.

If fear and guilt is a part of your upbringing, it can also cause a lot of problems for you in such things as work and health.

If you can learn to forgive yourself first—and to accept forgiveness—then maybe you can forgive others. Then you can find this healing, because the love of God comes through the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit.
