ECK Light and Sound Service Themes and Quotes
Date: | Oct 13, 2024 | Theme: | Love Comes First | Book: | Truth Has No Secrets | Author: | Harold Klemp | Quote: | “Love God first, and then love your neighbor as yourself.”
Love your neighbor as yourself doesn't mean a lot more than yourself. It means you have to love yourself before you can love your neighbor.
Love yourself. That means you have to have a good opinion of yourself as a spiritual being.”
“Soul’s whole purpose for being in this world is to find divine love.
Begin with the love you have. Love gracefully. This love expands your heart into a greater vessel which can hold yet more love.
On the outside, divine and emotional love may look the same, but divine love is joyful, thankful. It gives itself fully.”
—Harold Klemp, Truth Has No Secrets, pp. 2,3&7. |
Date: | Oct 20, 2024 | Theme: | Working with a Dream Teacher | Book: | The Art of Spiritual Dreaming | Author: | Harold Klemp | Quote: | “The dream Master will come when you ask. You first have to learn to ask, and then you have to learn to recognize when he speaks. Our whole concern in ECK is how to become more conscious individuals; to become more conscious of who and what we are.”
“Usually I work with you in the dream state. The true test of a Master ought to be that he can not only work with you outwardly and physically, but also inwardly. There are few individuals who have this power. Even in ECK there are some students who aren't conscious of this inward help. The best I can say is: Be patient. I am happy for those who have experiences with either myself or the other ECK Masters. Spirit is not divided; these ECK Masters are merely the manifestation of Divine Spirit on a certain plane of the inward heavens.”
—Harold Klemp, The Art of Spiritual Dreaming, pp. 24-25. |
Date: | Oct 27, 2024 | Theme: | The Right of Choice | Book: | Truth Has No Secrets | Author: | Harold Klemp | Quote: | “Recognize that something greater than walking any particular path is to be able to exercise the freedom to choose for yourself the path to God that is right for you and further more, to allow the same freedom for others.”
“You learn that you are totally responsible for everything that you do. That everything that comes into your life has come back to you.
This is a hard lesson for people because it totally wipes out the victim consciousness.”
—Harold Klemp, Truth Has No Secrets, pp. 17&19. |
Date: | Nov 03, 2024 | Theme: | Going Home to God | Book: | Wisdom of the Heart, Book 1 | Author: | Harold Klemp | Quote: | “In The Spiritual Notebook, Paul Twitchell says, “We can move into this state of God Consciousness, but to stay there we must learn to retain our full awareness of it while continuing to carry out the daily affairs of life.”
“The God state means to love the Sugmad, to be in total agreement with it, to trust It to guide us into the areas of life where we may use our creative talent for the good of all.”
Living in ECK means having a love so filling that any dimension of service is gracefully given to God. Those who give generous service to the Sugmad receive the richest of gifts, without the need for asking.”
—Harold Klemp, Wisdom of The Heart Bk. 1, pp. 216&217. |
Date: | Nov 10, 2024 | Theme: | Letting the ECK Heal You | Book: | Wisdom of the Heart, Book 1 | Author: | Harold Klemp | Quote: | “The challenge today is to go beyond modern medicine in a search for effective treatments of illness. Statistics well prove that the lifespan of people is growing longer, but a serious gap still exists between the healing of common illnesses and acknowledge of their primary cause.
This concern strikes some as being far afield of the spiritual works, but is not all life the spiritual life? The Shariyat recognizes man’s compulsion to create a plethora of products for the market place, but many of the goods are neither wanted nor needed by the public.”
“In a talk with Paul Twitchel, Fubbi Quantz listed five things one could do to work out his destiny in ECK. The chela should be working on (1) “spiritual unfoldment,” (2) the curing of man’s ills,” (3) delving into the secrets of life,” (4) “plumbing the ocean depths,” and (5) reaching out to the world of God through Soul Travel.”
The silent listeners are the instruments of the Mahanta who give solace to mankind.
—Harold Klemp, Wisdom of The Heart Bk. 1, pp. 96 -97, 98. |
Date: | Nov 17, 2024 | Theme: | Grasping the Significance of Dreams | Book: | The Art of Spiritual Dreaming | Author: | Harold Klemp | Quote: | “Dreams are not merely symbolic messages from the subconscious, though many people accept them only in that way. Dreams may have symbolic messages, but only at the superficial level. All the books listing thousands of dream symbols make much ado about nothing. Symbols are but the surface of the experience.”
“The dream world is actually an imperfectly remembered Soul Travel experience. When the memory is not very vivid, we call it a dream. Basically they are the same thing. They are not dreams, and they are not really Soul Travel. They are your experiences of life in greater worlds. And this is actually the best definition of Soul Travel: Your experiences of life in the spiritual dimensions, in the greater worlds of God.”
—Harold Klemp, The Art of Spiritual Dreaming, pp. 35-36. |
Date: | Nov 24, 2024 | Theme: | How Love Enters the Heart | Book: | Wisdom of the Heart, Book 1 | Author: | Harold Klemp | Quote: | “Divine love enters the heart in a direct Line from the Light and Sound of God. Those who become open channels for the twin blessings of ECK well shine with the certainty of life. Even those outside of Eckankar we'll see this confidence, which radiates like a sunbeam dancing among roses.”
“Love comes to those who serve God. The rest will look in vain for it.”
“…This love is everywhere: In a child's hug; in a puppy's eagerness to play, and in the blooming of wild flowers on the lawn. The more we can accept divine love, the more we can receive. Yet, accepting God's Love is only half of it. The other part is giving it back through service.”
—Harold Klemp, Wisdom of The Heart Bk. 1, pp. 27, 28 & 30. |
Date: | Dec 01, 2024 | Theme: | Gratitude: Working with the Law of Plenty | Book: | What Is Spiritual Freedom? Mahanta Transcripts, Book 11 | Author: | Harold Klemp | Quote: | “If you want something from life, you first have to give to life in some way.
Give to others not just what you have, but what they need. There's a difference. True generosity is giving to others what they need.”
“If you want to bring more of the blessings of God into your life, first of all sit down and determine what you would like to have in your life. You have to know that first. Then make a reasonable plan to reach it. Then remember to sing HU, the love song to God. Go about your life with love and thanksgiving. If you can do that, I think you will find that the law of plenty does work. I think you will find yourself the richest of people. May the blessings be.”
—Harold Klemp, What is Spiritual Freedom, p. 63-64. |
Date: | Dec 08, 2024 | Theme: | How to Open the Door Inside You | Book: | Wisdom of the Heart, Book 1 | Author: | Harold Klemp | Quote: | “Hardly everyone is qualified to pass through the door into the inner world when he first comes into Eckankar. He must dedicate some time to the spiritual exercises in order to build up spiritual stamina. Who would expect to become a pilot, doctor, lawyer, nurse, engineer, secretary, or teacher without self-discipline of a thorough training program? Each profession demands a cause of study, and success follows by doing homework. The same is true in ECK.”
“Every living ECK Master struggles to put into words the inexpressible truth of ECK. All the Master can do is to point the way and give encouragement to the chela in his own efforts to find revelation of God. The creative techniques, the spiritual exercises of ECK, are keys that guide wondering Souls to the inner temple.”
—Harold Klemp, Wisdom of The Heart Bk. 1, pp.72 & 73. |
Date: | Dec 15, 2024 | Theme: | Developing Your Dream Memory | Book: | The Art of Spiritual Dreaming | Author: | Harold Klemp | Quote: | “…Many people fail to remember their experiences because when you are there, it is so natural that the inner and outer blend into each other. As you wake up and become conscious, you figure it's not worth the trouble to record the dream because it seems like something you always do. By the time you are finished showering, you've forgotten.”
“If you can just get down a few notes, maybe two or three sentences to trigger the memory, to give you a key, this will provide a focus so that during the day you can try to recall what happened.”
—Harold Klemp, The Art of Spiritual Dreaming, pp. 50-51. |
Date: | Dec 22, 2024 | Theme: | A Great Love for God | Book: | What Is Spiritual Freedom? Mahanta Transcripts, Book 11 | Author: | Harold Klemp | Quote: | “A great love for God means keeping your eyes open.
“…Keep your eyes open and see the love of God that is all around you.
Look for love of God in your everyday life.
Find joy in the little things, places other people would never stoop to look, but you do because you know this is where God had hidden the secrets of love.
Love is not in high positions, or riches, well having the esteem of many people, or being a great public figure.
“God has hidden the secret of love in the lowly places. And too many people are two vain to stoop down to look for it.”
—Harold Klemp, What is Spiritual Freedom, p. 25. |
Date: | Dec 29, 2024 | Theme: | Keys to Spiritual Happiness | Book: | The Living Word, Book 2 | Author: | Harold Klemp | Quote: | “Love is the force that returns Soul to God. For the path of truth starts in the heart, and the journey home to God begins with meeting the Mahanta in either a dream or in person. The spiritual exercises of ECK give strength and comfort, for the simple daily contemplations give one a stronger bond with the Divine being. We call the path of ECK the easy way.”
“So the main benefits of ECK is spiritual freedom. The entire aim of life is to find that freedom. Though the Earth may shake and tremble, the person who loves God above all else will endure with peace of heart and mind.”
—Harold Klemp, The Living Word Bk. 2, p. 46. |
