The human consciousness has a natural inclination toward lethargy and procrastination. This is because of attachment, which is one of the mind passions. We learn to work with it. In your personal life you learn to set goals.

Set little goals, any goals, just so that you do something. Soul is here to gain experience, and you’re not going to get a lot of experience without doing something.

"Real love is selfless. We do continual acts of kindness to make the way easier for our loved ones."
—Harold Klemp

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.

Thegamingorca:
Hmmmm toddlers and infants are susceptible to infection at this tender age by respiratory syncytial virus which causes most of their airway diseases. It's not unnatural to go in and out of hospital as a younging. Bronchopneumonia only affects children at this age but as long as the constitutional symptoms are controlled you really have nothing to worry about. A child will continue to have laboured breathing and chest diseases cos their airway is tiny. grin

You cannot separate a child from cough and catarrh so please rest easy.
The symptoms will reduce as he grow older

.

This advice has caused lots of suffering for children who could have gotten an early diagnosis and better management from ENT consultation.
This is one of the challenges we have in our health care in Nigeria which includes ignorance of some important sub- specialties and the services they offer, even amongst health care workers.
By the time you keep waiting for the child to outgrow the obstructive breathing a lot of damage would have been done to the child which include delayed growth and right heart failure.
The choice is yours. I have done my part and I rest my case.
Take care.

Please people I need serious help with this. My two years old son has been having this on and off cough and heavy breathing with a bit snoring sound in the nose not really like whistling, since he was a year old. This mostly become too serious at night. I have been to different hospitals, including FMC owo. I was told to run series of test which includes hiv and tuberculosis tests which came out negative. I also did a chest xtray which turned out to be bronchopneumonia pneumonia. He was given several antibiotics which includes augmenting and several others I can’t remember and injections still the symptoms still persist. It is really worrisome seeing him going through all this on and off at this tender age. We have also been to a pediatrician, all to no positive result. Please if you have experience this before, I need your opinion on how you were able to manage it and cure this. Doctors in the forum your opinions we be greatly appreciated on how to go about this
Thanks

I would advise you to see an ENT Specialist. Ear, nose and throat surgeon. They have access to areas that paediatricians don't usually check that can cause the problem. They are in the best position to make a diagnosis and proffer a solution.
Take care

If you’re in harmony with the spiritual principles at all, you’re going to know that the life you have is the one you have created for yourself in some way, at some time. Today you are simply living out your own creation.

As we give of ourselves, of our patience and love, to someone who needs it, something changes inside us. Something flows in, a flow of good feeling.

Karma applies itself in the most exacting and clever of ways. If we deprived another human being of freedom in a previous life, we'd probably have our freedom curtailed in this life. This experience would give us time to reconsider our views and learn the Law of Love.

ECKANKAR- Ancient Wisdom for Today

what about animals? When humans cage in other souls (poultry,rabits,cattle) with the aim of earning a living, thereby limiting their freedom, doesn't this also have karmic effect?

If you cage them with the aim of earning a living as a means of survival there is no negative karma incurred. But if you are cruel to them and indulge in torturing them, you incur negative karma.
Also people that hunt animal for sports and not for nutrition or survival incur negative karma.
Lower animals already know that giving up their bodies to sustain higher animals is the way of nature and they accept their fate, go through their experiences and move up to higher animal forms and eventually human form.

It is best, however, to restrict your use of prophecy to your own personal life.

ECKANKAR- Ancient Wisdom for Today

concerning Jesus,did he make mistakes in his predictions about his 2nd coming and future world events, or could it be that the text was distorted by writers from its original meaning?

There is always a big divide between what is said, what is written and finally interpretation given by others. This has always been a problem with departed Masters when their followers can no longer make that inner link with him to verify and get better explanations about what was said and what was written.
That is where the Holy Spirit comes in. Your ability to tune in to the guidance of the Holy Spirit goes a long way in helping you to understand scriptures.

Also, what about stories like JOSEPH & DANIEL of the bible who were said to have the gift of interpreting other people's dream? Are such stories true? if yes,then, should we conclude that the ability to interprete other people's dream is divine?

The truth or untruth of the bible stories really does not matter. What matters are the lessons you learn from the stories and that is where your attention should be.
The ability to interprete dreams is a dormant spiritual strength that lies in every Soul. Any soul can learn to do it and you need to know most of the spiritual strength you look at as a gift or divine actually took lifetimes of spiritual training to attain.
Understanding and interpretation of your dreams is actually one of the basic steps in our Spiritual Program.

many people who have come into Eckankar have done so because their questions about life were not being answered by orthodox and traditional teachings.

ECKANKAR- Ancient Wisdom for Today

many centuries before Eckankar had it's temple in Africa, were there people who sought their way back to God? If their traditional religion didn't satisfy their quest, where did they go?

In those ancient days, quest for God were mostly answered through the dream state where the master meets the seeker and provides answers and for those who were much farther advanced, they had the ability to visit the temples in the inner planes via soul travel and get their answers there.

@ Templee333

the spiritual masters work in harmony to help souls to learn the lessons it needs to mature . there is no competition among the spiritual masters . but rather what you have is specialization .

each master is specialized in one aspect of spirit. souls are taught one aspect of spirit after another and as each master finishes his work with soul he naturally hands over to another master. as so on until soul has mastered the different aspects of spirit.

when soul is done with its lessons and is ready to go home the Mahanta steps in. the Mahanta area of specialization is to show soul the way it needs to travel to go back home to God, step by step , plane by plane

please what do you mean by "aspect of the spirit"?

Aspects of Spirit are the qualities of God that expresses through the individual as the person grows spiritually. Some develop healing abilities, prophetic abilities, direct projection, soul travel, clairvoyance etc.
