But to the individual under the guidance of Divine Spirit, it’s walking the path of Light and Sound, the Light and Sound of God.

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.

As Soul, you have the God-knowledge within you. My main job is to awaken the knowledge and love for the divine things that are already in your heart. You are Soul. You are a child of God.

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.

HU is an ancient name for God. It is also a love song to God. You sing it silently or aloud, with love in your heart.

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.

You make a conscious effort to align yourself or put yourself in tune with Divine Spirit. And you do that by chanting a spiritual word, such as HU (pronounced like the word hue).

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.

Be prepared so you are always at peace inside yourself, so you feel you are prepared; and know that the answer, or the solution, for every moment in your life is at hand in one way or another.

As long as you are patient and look to the Sound and Light, which may come as a gentle nudge, which may come as a feeling, you will be prepared.

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.

Change means going from one state of consciousness to another. And this involves adjustments, which in most cases mean trouble. Adjustments equal trouble.

But when you get to the other side, all of a sudden you realize that things are better. That this life, this state, this new condition existed alongside the original one all along.
