Prayer is any act that brings one closer to God.

True worship is listening to God.

Topic: Discover Your Life

as a Spiritual Adventure

Life goes up and down. We have times when everything is going our way, but there are also times when we’re at the bottom. If we keep our-selves open to Spirit, there will be an equal balance. This is what is meant by the detached state: When our fortunes hit bottom, we surrender to Spirit. Then we can go back up more naturally, and we’ll maintain this rhythm of life. As life goes on around us, the detached state is that which runs right through the cen-ter; we are the balanced individual working in the Soul consciousness.

—Harold KlempHow to Find God

Mahanta Transcripts, Book 2 Chapter 4

Topic: THOSE WONDERFUL

ECK MASTERS “The ECK Masters all strive to help others - and especially you - reach God-Realization too. And thereby the capacity to give and receive vastly more love.”

Share a deeper appreciation for the gift of HU by bringing a guest.

www.HearHU.org“HU, this ancient name for God, is a love song to God. You can sing it. And in singing it or holding it in your mind during times of need, it becomes a prayer. It becomes a prayer of the highest sort.It becomes a non-directed prayer, which means that we’re willing to let the Holy Spirit take care of the affairs in our life according to the divine plan instead of our personal plan.”

—Harold KlempHU The Most Beautiful Prayer, p.3

ECKANKAR, Experience

the Light and Sound of God

Eckankar teaches that there is an audible life current known as the ECK, or HOLY SPIRIT, that con-nects each of us with the heart of God. We can experience the ECK as Light and Sound. Through study and practice of the Spiri-tual Exercises of ECK, we learn to recognize the Light and Sound of God as It touches our lives and brings increased divine love.
