As we come out of our childhood of spirituality into greater states, we learn to let people be.

No matter how much insight we gain about God, there will always be something that lies beyond the horizon of our understanding. That is simply the nature of truth.

Truth does not operate in a vacuum, people who've been touched by truth try to express it in their daily lives: within their family, business, or religion

When you ask for help, Spirit begins to bring changes that are for your good. Of course, this means you must be extra careful in the choices you make. Before Spirit can make any changes, you must develop a better image of yourself: You are Soul. God’s love is for you.

As our self-discipline increases, we discover that life can no longer defeat us. We move tranquilly under the protection of that Presence we know as the ECK, or Divine Spirit.

seriously i was once caught up in that web of believing that once i ask for forgiveness of my sins everything would be wiped off and i will be allowed to start afresh.
so i was gladly doing my thing hurting people around me and always remembering to ask for forgiveness after each bad deed so that if anything happens i will go straight to heaven.
then things started happening. i started noticing that when i hurt people life finds a way to hurt me back and i thought i was a victim. i started asking why? then i discovered first hand what Jesus really meant when he said that God is not mocked and that whatever a man soweth so shall he reap. that reaping, that judgement starts here and now.

what ever you throw into life is exactly what life throws at you. people forget that they are the cause of whatever is happening in their life and they call the devil or point to another person as the cause. we have to learn to take total responsibility for our lives. that is the beginning of spiritual maturity.

Truth is so simple. So why doesn’t everybody know it? Because it’s too simple. Because we have our preconceived notions about what truth is or what it should be.

Many feel that a person who spends his time soul-searching is more holy than a merchant who hawks his goods at the market. A highly spiritual person is actually one who has found the comfort zone that exists somewhere between the two extremes.

@ all posters

all these religion bashing will not get us anywhere. i really wish that Christians will take the time to study the Koran with an open mind and Moslems study the bible with an open mind. after that talk about the good things you were able to pick from these Holy books and put it into practice in your life. this action will make you a better individual who will then be able to contribute more meaningfully to the progress of Humanity as a whole.

have a happy Sunday everyone.

Very often, we are confronted by people who want us to pray their way or colleagues who want us to think their way. We must remember to maintain our individual relationship with God. We have the shining light of Soul, and because we have it, we also have the wisdom of God.

You cannot measure spirituality by the number of bad habits you have or not. Nor by a certain number of experiences. Awareness of the moment and a joy for living can also be an indication of where you are spiritually.

love is all that matters. the law of love supersedes all laws, all religions, all tribes and all races. the purpose of 2 souls coming together in marriage is to help each other cultivate love for God and love for all things.

i know a wonderful couple who i usually stay with, the husband is an ECK Clergy and the wife is a wonderful Christian so full of love and they have been wonderfully married for over 35 years. the kids are allowed to go to any religion of their liking with no fuss and no pressure from any of the parents. there is so much love and freedom in this couple's home and it is a clear example that love is all that matters and not your religion, tribe or race.

As we give of ourselves, of our patience and love, to someone else who needs it more, something changes inside us. Something flows in, a flow of good feeling. A spiritual upliftment occurs both in us and in the person receiving the love.

I love atheists
why?
1. They are souls like me.
2. They exist because of God's love for soul even if they do not believe in the existence of God it really does not matter to God.
3. They provide the opposite in life that is needed for balance in the spirito-material worlds
4. They enable me to sit up and not to take any believe for granted
5. They help me to use my reasoning faculties and common sense to examine issues in life
6. They provide a challenge to make me prove my belief to myself on a daily basis
7. They enable me to realize that love has no conditions and that it is to be given to all life
8. They enable me to see the humour and the funny sides of most believes
9. What a boring world it would be if there are no atheists
10. They have presented a challenge to God which God alone must answer nobody should fight for God for then you make God seem impotent and stupid.

The very heart of the doctrine of ECK is love. This love is that divine essence which unites all reality and brings together all souls. The higher soul goes into the other worlds the greater this becoomes. Love is the bond which holds the world together. It is the living ECK, the spirit of the Sugmad.

Hi Ben,since the Eck masters have always being around what did Jesus mean when he told the deciples of another comforter.
The comforter he was referring to is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not a person at all. It is the Essence of God or God in expression, the life force, The ECK. it can be seen as a light and heard as a sound. that was why the disciples during the Pentecost saw a light like tongues of fire on each of their heads and heard the sound of a rushing wind. that is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. It is the job of a spiritual master to link his students or disciples to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will then lead them to all truth.

Do you have seminars in Nigeria like they do in the states.thanks
of course we do. you can check the website eckankarnigeria.org for information on seminars in Nigeria.

thanks and remain blessed

The Holy Spirit will give us all that we need. First we must learn to expect the best in life, and be willing to plan and work for it. Second, we need a clear mental picture of what we desire. Third, this picture is to be maintained constantly, with the certainty that Divine Spirit will supply any rightful desire. Fourth, there must be gratitude for every good thing received.

@ cmanforall

you are very welcome. Now you have finally figured it out. In real spiritual matters there is really no conflict. All there is, is love and only love. And that is what the masters have been trying to pass across to us. It is all a matter of understanding.

Enjoy your day and be grateful for God's blessings in your life.
