Not to get attached is often taken to mean “not to get involved.” It actually means not to let your idea of how things should be dictate the relationship. That kind of love has strings attached.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Loving Heart

You are Soul. You are a light of God. And whatever your relationship with God is, that is your relationship with God, and it’s your business. Not anyone else’s.

Love—The Keystone of Life

The daily struggles that life presents are opportunities to cultivate spiritual grace.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Awakening Soul

Instead of talking about all we know, at times it pays to just listen. Listen to the people around you. If someone’s telling you something spiritual and positive, this is from the Voice of God.

Things that are negative and destructive to you are from the negative side. Do not do them—no matter how spiritual the person is who says to.

Sri Harold Klemp

The dream world and its people are real. It is only our recall and understanding of it that are incomplete.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Spiritual Life

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.

A spiritual upliftment occurs both in us and in the person receiving the love.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Awakened Heart

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.

Sri Harold Klemp
Truth Has No Secrets

Whatever path to God you follow ought to make you able to stand on your own feet here as well as in the inner worlds; here and now, in this lifetime, before you drop the body in death.

If the path isn’t able to do that, then you ought to keep looking until you find one that gives you this ability.

Sri Harold Klemp
Touching the Face of God

What we are aiming for is not to avoid the roller-coaster effect of life, but to gain the middle path. This means the path of moderation, the balanced outlook, the spiritual viewpoint that no matter what happens, the sorrows of life will not bury us forever. When loved ones leave in death, we cry—but not forever. We are able to face life knowing that they will still live on in full consciousness.

We know that the divine cause, the Divine Being, has put us here to learn something. It is up to us to go out into life and find out what it is.

Sri Harold Klemp
Touching the Face of God

Another word for contemplation is appreciation. Think about all the reasons you have to be grateful.

Think about the gifts in your life that have come from God, from the Holy Spirit, that make this life worth living. Think about the adventures that are coming, and be grateful for the strength to meet tomorrow.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Awakened Heart

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.

Sri Harold Klemp
Touching the Face of God

Divine Spirit helps those who are ready to drop some habit that’s standing in their way on the spiritual path to God.

—Harold Klemp

All that a true spiritual teaching can give you is assurance of the eternal nature of Soul: that you live beyond the death of the physical body; that you are Soul, and you live forever. A sword can pierce the body but never Soul.

And if you know what you’re doing, when you leave this body it’s not much of a change.

Sri Harold Klemp
Touching the Face of God

It’s the nature of an open consciousness to simply love and give of God’s love to other people. But even more important is to receive it. To receive the blessings that are all around us.

—Harold Klemp

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

Sri Harold Klemp
Love—The Keystone of Life

Sometimes being a channel for God requires simply that you be aware in a situation where someone is in pain, in sorrow, or in a state of loneliness or heartbreak.

You just listen. If you are just listening, sometimes people can speak.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Awakened Heart

Graceful living, being gracious, means that you are filled with the blessings of God. And if you are filled with the blessings of God, you will certainly be someone who lives gracefully and graciously with others.

—Harold Klemp

Facing life gracefully is probably the first step to giving of yourself to others.

They aren’t separate qualities. The quality of being graceful in your dealings with other people or in giving of yourself to life go together. They complement each other.

Sri Harold Klemp
Love—The Keystone of Life

The Sound and Light of God are the appearance of God’s love in your daily life in a very real way. Sometimes you’ll feel a vibration, sometimes you might hear the music of a flute. These are both manifestations of the Sound of God.

—Harold Klemp

We look for the divine nature that exists in other people as well as in ourselves.

—Harold Klemp

Hi Benodic,

How can I find peace of mind.

@ martinskelly

Hi Benodic,

How can I find peace of mind.

Finding peace of mind comes from being able to rise above the passions of the mind which hold Soul prisoner in the lower worlds.
What can enable one to achieve this is the Spiritual Exercises of ECK.
The most basic being the Singing of the love song to God, HU.
Sung daily morning and night for minimum of 20- 30 minutes with love in your heart and gratitude for all the blessings of God in your life will set you off on the right direction to achieve happiness and peace of mind.

benodic:
hello myjoe,

thanks a lot for your question. i read all the posts in the topic "The Problem With Dreams, Visions And Clairvoyance" and i found them very interesting.

i can understand your misgivings about dreams, visions and clairvoyance because i once had them too. i laughed when you said that it is all in our heads i.e figments of our imagination. so i will try in my own little way to shed some light on the matter.

first you have to realise that the holy spirit is the source of dreams and visions. the holy spirit of course is God in expression. God communicates to us through the holy spirit which in ECK we refer to as the light and sound of God.

the holy spirit will approach each soul in a way that the soul is comfortable with. God can use any medium that a soul is comfortable with to communicate with that soul. God can use your mother or your father, for christians, Jesus and for buddhists, Buddha.

it really doesn't matter the medium what matters is the message. as you grow spiritually most of the illusions that we have about life usually drops and you will start seeing the drama of life more clearly. this is a very gradual process and it does not happen overnight.

the unique thing about ECKANKAR is that we are not asking anybody to believe anything said about truth. you must experience truth in order to know the truth.

the experiences i have had concerning dreams over the years i have been in ECKANKAR are my authority and not any other person's experiences. so what we are saying is that you have to make the effort to prove the reality of dreams ,visions and clairvoyance for yourself. nobody can do it for you.

if you have any further questions feel free to ask.

thanks and may the blessings be.

You develop a sense of humor, and as challenges come up, you begin to draw on your creativity. You find solutions that would never have occurred to you before.

Life becomes more fun—you actually have a more adventuresome life. You get put into situations you would not have been in before, because you are going one step beyond yourself. And as you get yourself in trouble, you also have help to get out of it, because as you learn to work with your own resources, you are developing self-mastery.

Done.

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.

To give is to live, and this is why I talk about service. If you want to live more spiritually, then you must give more and more in the way of service to all life.

—Harold Klemp

Dreams are a starting point for many who wish to begin the spiritual journey to God and do it in the easiest possible way. Dreams taught me to face myself, let me see the future, and took me to the heavens of God.

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.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Language of Soul

We open the consciousness through the Spiritual Exercises of ECK, such as singing HU.

—Harold Klemp

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.
