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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

As you gain in spiritual unfoldment, everyone in your circle of acquaintances is benefited and uplifted.

Nothing is insurmountable for Soul; It learns how to make everything into stepping-stones instead of stumbling blocks.

Sri Harold Klemp

Soul is multidimensional. It shares all the aspects of God. Soul can be everywhere at all times, and all places at the same time. This is that part of God that you are.

Begin remembering your dreams to get an idea of who and what you are as Soul.

As a spiritual exercise, take yourself into a larger room. For example, if you have a desire for self-discipline, leave the room of self-discipline that you’re in. Go down the corridor, and go into another room. This room will be larger. It will be much larger. Just live within the awareness that you want to be in this room of more self-discipline. Then let the Holy Spirit, the ECK, bring about the changes in your life that will accompany such a resolution.

Man is looking for two things: peace and love. He wants happiness, and he looks for it everywhere. This desire stems from his dim memory of the Golden Age of man, long since past.

We don’t make a goal of higher ethics, but higher ethics are a natural result of increased spiritual unfoldment. This ought to show in our lives, in our business dealings, and in our interactions with others.

Eckankar is not the intellectual path where we sit around and make more and more plans. It is the path of doing—the path of personal experience. It’s a marriage of plans with action.

The tests that are easy for us are difficult for others. This is the nature of life. And it means that we, as human beings, must learn patience and compassion. The wheel always turns.

The Language of Soul

My job is to point out there is a way for you to contact the divine essence of God. You can contact the Holy Spirit and guide yourself directly. You don’t have to rely on the words and teachings of a person just because he speaks with authority.

HU is the love song to God that we sing. And it’s to open your heart—like opening your wings. Opening your wings simply means opening your state of consciousness.

Love gives a shortcut to heaven. If you do one little thing each day for love and love alone, without any expectation of reward, you’re going to find that life gives you more and more.

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

The power of HU can benefit everyone, whether they are Muslim or Christian or of any other belief. It doesn’t change one’s religion, but it will enhance it.

The path of ECK is to let one develop spiritual stamina and become a Master in his own right.

This is the meaning of Coworker with God.

Sri Harold Klemp

The Spiritual Life

As we begin to get this Light and Sound in our life, it shows in how we conduct our daily affairs. Our daily life is a reflection of what happens inwardly.

If we set a goal for a project, we ought to get a grasp of spiritual principles from the experience. These experiences help us succeed in the sense that they take us to the next step in life.

—Harold Klemp

Love is like water in that only so much can be poured into the glass. Before you can put more in, you have to let some out. If you don’t keep giving out love, more can’t come in.

People often wonder, How do I get God’s love? You get it by giving of yourself to others, in ways that you like to give.

Sri Harold Klemp

The Awakened Heart

The Spiritual Exercises of ECK help us come in contact with the Light and Sound of God. These contemplative techniques give us confidence in ourselves. We learn that we are Soul, we are eternal. Then we know with certainty that we live forever, that death cannot destroy us.

—Harold Klemp

Always remember you’re not alone.

Spirit is always with us, always guiding, always protecting, always attempting to bring joy and make our life better, but that doesn’t mean that we are always aware and listening.
