The Holy Spirit gives us lessons. If we have the capacity for love—which is all that this life is about—life gives us more experience.

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.

The highest truth is not written in any book, it’s written in your heart. All the books in the world are useless unless they can help you open your heart.

Open your heart to what? To the love of God.

You will find as you move forward on the path to God and unfold spiritually that you will become more filled with divine love, and you will have more kindness and compassion for other people.

In so doing, you will eventually become a Coworker with God.

To get love we must give love, and the same is true, spiritually, of freedom. To have freedom we must give freedom—and you find that the more you are able to give, the more you get.

what do you mean by spiritual journey? and what do you said of John 16v13, when you said the voice of God will lead to the truth?
The spiritual journey is actually the journey of Soul, which started from the heart of God where Souls were created. Due to the immaturity of Soul, the lower universes were created and Soul was sent down here to learn The lessons of love and realize its potential as a divine spark of God.

Soul has to make this journey back ,plane by plane, back to the heart of God where it becomes a co-worker with God.

The voice of God is the Holy Spirit. There is only one way back to God and that way is the Holy Spirit. Several Spiritual Masters have come to Earth to show Souls how to connect back to this divine essence of God that leads Soul to all truth.

Unfortunately their teachings were shrouded in social trappings, political bickerings and unnecessary rites and mysteries and worship of these masters used to set up different religions.

Soul forgot why it is here in the first place and the necessary steps it needs to realize itself.
Hidden within most of the holy scriptures still remain allusions to this spirit of truth but mostly glossed over by the priest.

When you are able to make contact with the Holy Spirit then your journey back home to God begins in earnest.
This is the gift Eckankar brings to the world today.

after singing Hu night and day, what next? and experience should I have?
Singing HU opens you up to the guidance of the Holy Spirit which we call The ECK.
The Holy Spirit is the voice of God. It will lead you to all truth. The Holy Spirit will guide you to the next step in your spiritual journey.

The experiences you will have depends on your state of consciousness. Each individual is unique and so also the spiritual experiences are unique to the individual soul.

What is numerous world's?
What I refer to as the geography of the Worlds of God, comprises of 2 grand divisions.
The pure spiritual heavens or planes which comprises of Soul Plane to the Anami Lok and Ocean of Love and Mercy, the Heart of God from whence the Spirit of Life, the Holy Spirit issues from.
Then we have the Lower worlds, Universes or planes which comprises of Etheric plane down to the physical plane where earth is located.
These lower worlds were fashioned as schools for the maturity of School. Once Soul is done with its schooling it is admitted into the pure spiritual planes to become a co-worker with God.


I attended the Eck,I discovered that they mixed mathematical sciences in comparison to God, sometimes I love their teachings, but it makes no meaning to me, because,I have never for once witness the realities of it, most especially the mention of the Soul,
The ECK teachings are not a belief system. They comprise of definite steps and practices that awakens your consciousness to realize yourself as soul. Without these experiences the teachings can never make sense to you.

what is the Soul and how do you utilised it for results?
Soul is who you are. Soul is a spark of God, sharing the same qualities of God. Soul was sent down to the lower universes and puts on the various bodies like the mental body and physical body to enable it gain the necessary experience it needs to grow spiritually.

To start awakening to your full potential as soul, singing the HU a love song to God every day morning and night is the first step.

We don’t learn and grow if everything is always smooth and pretty and nice. Sometimes you have to get the other experiences in life. It’s necessary, like salt and pepper on your food. It adds spice to life.

We’re talking about recognizing God’s help in your life. This help is like little presents. But oftentimes we don’t think of them as presents.

The fact is that I have really taken for granted the training I have received in Eckankar and reading about your inner experiences brings a lot of memories in my early days in Eckankar back to the fore.
I remember the inner trainings on how to separate mind creations from reality. How to challenge Beings that come into your vision. How to use the fine art of inner discrimination to decipher messages that come from the inner planes.

The most important of all being how to open your consciousness to the Holy Spirit and allowing it to direct the inner experiences that is needed for one's spiritual growth.

I have never had a misleading inner experience., Maybe that is why I have been taken them for granted.
I remain grateful and I am humbled by this fact.
May the blessings be.

@ Justlove91

Of course I'm aware people remember part live and there is a book written by Ian Stevenson on accounts of children remembering their part lives.
The problem is how would one know it's ones part lives? One of the ways some people explain past live remembrance is this:

"There are millions of spirits in the astral plane that belief they've to reincarnate to progress, these spirits attach themselves to pregnant women trying to reincarnated that way.
If the child is sensitive to some extent, he/she starts to remember the past live of the spirit that gets attached to it thinking it was it own past live."

The above is why remembering past live doesn't necessarily proof reincarnation is true
The teachings of ECK takes it a bit further. So it doesn't just end at remembering your past live as a child. You have the privilege to soul travel into the causal plane beyond the influences of spirits hovering at the astral plane .

The causal plane stores the records of all your past incarnations in the lower worlds including earth. You get to see for yourself how you have made your journey of Soul through the different planes of God. Your experience still remains your authority and not based on the someone's own believes.

This is one of the reasons why I don't belief in reincarnation. If reincarnation is true, should we not see a steady increase in human moral development. In your estimate, would you say humanity is more materialistic in this age of social media and all or is humanity more spiritual.

For example, which is more advanced?

1. The moral development of Nigeria youths of 200 years ago.
2. The moral development of Nigeria youths of today.

In other words which of the two is more materialistic?
The key word here is believe. In Eckankar we don't work with believe. We work with knowingness which is far beyond believe.

What you know is reality and what you believe may be an illusion until you experience it and become a knower.

For me the concept of Reincarnation was a reality from childhood as I experienced it and proved it for myself long before becoming an Eckist.

I remembered fully why I had to return and the people I has karmic scores to settle with.

Another thing you need to know is that reincarnation does not only occur between the astral plane and physical plane. It also occurs between the lower heavens e.g one can reincarnate between 4th and 3rd heaven

Also some souls can spend an extremely long length of time in the lower heavens before choosing to reincarnate.
Of course karmic interplay still goes on in the lower heavens as they are still within the worlds of polarity: good and bad

As for the degeneration of moral values in this age, this has to do with the different epochs or ages the lower universe goes through.
You have the golden age, silver age, bronze age and iron age. We are currently in the iron age when the Kal or negative power takes over the universe completely and things gets very tough and bad.

The negativity is just getting started and it's going to get much worse.

The advantage of reincarnation into the physical universe is that it speeds up your spiritual growth. What you can achieve spiritually in 100 years of earth time may take you thousands of years to achieve in the inner worlds because life is simpler and easier there.
So it is a conscious decision that Soul makes to come back here on order to fast forward it's journey back Home to God.

Divine Spirit is not a person. “A force” is not even the correct way to speak of It. The best we can usually do is to say It’s the Light and Sound of God, the Voice of God, the creative force that made all creation.

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.
