Happiness is not a matter of how your outer life appears to someone else. Happiness is a state of consciousness.

Spirit acts in a way that is for the good of the whole, sometimes bringing a healing of the emotions or the mind instead of the body, because that is in the best interests of that particular Soul’s unfoldment.

The principles of the spiritual life are embodied in everything that we do. If we think they are not there, it is simply because we can’t see them or recognize them.

As our self-discipline increases, we discover that life can no longer defeat us. We move tranquilly under the protection of that Presence we know as the ECK, or Divine Spirit.

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. It means always trying to have your partner do what you think is right.

God loves Soul rich or poor. God does not necessarily love the poor more. God loves Soul. We can enjoy the things of this life and support our family with material goods with no feelings of guilt.

Prophecy can come through in the dream state, or it can come through what I call the Golden-tongued Wisdom—where something in your daily life suddenly pops forth. It’s as if golden light surrounds it and gives you whatever you need just at that moment.

When you’re making a decision about something, look at more than the benefits you’ll get by doing it. Also look at what price it requires of you. Weigh both the benefits and the price before you decide whether to act or not.

At times Divine Spirit heals directly, at other times It leads one to the right medical doctor. Sometimes It will assist in the healing and treatment we are presently undergoing. We must inwardly turn everything over to the guidance of this Supreme Force while making every effort to find the most suitable medical help.

There are many routes we can take to heaven. God has established so many different paths and means for us that there is a way for everyone.
if you are ready, the spiritual exercises of ECK will help you to find your own custom made approach to the Kingdom of God.

This earth is a big old schoolhouse. In fact, so is this entire material level of existence called physical plane.
however, we're here to learn more than just reading , writing, and arithmetic.We're here to find our way back to God.

A cornerstone of Eckankar is the value of personal spiritual experience. Reading a book or listening to a friend will give you only a small understanding of the spiritual worlds and your role in them.

There's a common golden thread running through all religious and spiritual teachings. It's called the ECK. It is also known as the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, and the Audible Life Stream.

Eckankar is a religion but not an orthodox religion. Eckankar is a religion for the individual- what many of us hoped religion would be. it is designed to help individuals find their own way back to God through direct personal experiences.

Read through your posts. You mentioned God as a Father, mentioned the guidance of the Holy Spirit. With this two in place I became curious when I noticed you never* ( I stand to be corrected if you did) made mention of a certain person; Jesus Christ.

Does He have anything to do with your religion?

If he doesn't. How does one get salvation? (Is there any need for it?)

There was a post you stated "there is no hell"; that a soul would reincarnate till it learns it lesson and reach spiritual maturity. Would that imply that there is no heaven too?

no.
in Eckankar we have the Mahanta, The Living ECK Master who is the spiritual leader. Jesus Christ is the Spiritual leader of Christians.

If he doesn't. How does one get salvation? (Is there any need for it?)

Eckankar teaches that Soul does not need salvation because it was not lost in the first place so in effect there is no need for salvation. what soul needs is to come to the full awareness of who and what it is, a spark of God created in the image and likeness of God and sharing all the qualities of God which lies latent within it. The ECK teachings are tailored to unlock those qualities of Soul, so that it can take its rightful place as co- worker with God.



There was a post you stated "there is no hell"; that a soul would reincarnate till it learns it lesson and reach spiritual maturity. Would that imply that there is no heaven too?

what you called heavens we know them as other planes of existence. you can choose to call them heavens. there are many levels of them and you go to the one that fits your state of consciousness and spiritual maturity. and of course there is no hell where people burn in eternity. God is so loving that It has given souls plenty of opportunity to keep coming back in other to learn the lessons of love until they get it right and become pure channels of God's love.

The pressures of the modern world make it easy to forget who we are. Our physical senses and emotions become overwhelmed and we lose Soul's spiritual view. Regaining this view is called soul travel. and soul travel is accomplished by practicing the spiritual exercises of ECK on a daily basis.

Many people experience Soul Travel as an expansion of awareness and knowingness: an inner nudge to call a friend, or seeing beyond your current difficulties to a deeper meaning. Others may have dramatic experiences full of spiritual majesty. In Eckankar, you learn to prove spiritual truths yourself through personal experience.

What can Soul Travel do for you? The benefits are both subtle and far-reaching. When you realize through personal experiences that you live beyond the physical body, you are released from the fear of death. you worry less. When you realize through experience that you are a creative part of a loving God , you invite more love into your life. You feel less lonely or alienated. When you realize through experience that your life has a spiritual purpose, you will feel energized .
