Healings always depend on the individual: How conscious is that Soul?

The condition of health that we suffer is actually a tool to raise us another degree in our state of consciousness.

. What Is Soul Travel?

. In the simplest terms, Soul Travel is an individual moving closer to the heart of God. This movement takes a variety of forms.
. Soul Travel is, for the most part, a tool for use in the worlds below the Soul Plane, first of the true spiritual worlds. It takes one through the Astral, Causal, Mental, and Etheric Planes. As a whole, these are the planes of time and space. Soul Travel occurs in two general ways. One form is the sensation of fast movement of the Soul body through the planes of time and space. In reality, though, is such movement possible?
. You see, Soul exists on all planes, so what feels like movement, or travel, is simply Soul coming into an agreement with fixed states and conditions that already exist in some world of time and space.
. If you can imagine a scene, then you can be there this instant in the Soul body. That is the Imaginative technique. It may feel as though you are hurtling through space at a breakneck speed, like a rocket, and zooming on a journey to the outer space. In fact, though, Soul (you) is motionless. It is shifting Its attention to some higher state. That shifting of attention results in a feeling of fast motion to the material senses.
. Soul Travel begins with a Spiritual Exercise of ECK in a physical setting.
. A contemplative may hear a rushing sound, like a wailing wind in a tunnel, along with a sensation of incredible speed. But as explained, Soul doesn't move; Soul is. Time and space adjust to Soul's state of consciousness, and it is this adjustment of time and space that renders an illusion of movement or breathtaking speed. A seeming, rapid change of location is one aspect of Soul Travel that may prove to be a daunting obstacle for the timid. These people fear going beyond themselves.
. Soul Travel is, therefore, for the bold and courageous in spirit. But remember, since one doesn't in fact travel anywhere, it's impossible to get lost.
. Keep that principle in mind during a spiritual exercise. It will lend the confidence to open your heart to love and so delight in any enlightenment that finds you.
. Another form of Soul Travel is the expansion of consciousness. This aspect is the true state of personal revelation or enlightenment that we aspire to in ECK. It visits both the timid and the bold, and is a gentler, less robust version of movement in consciousness. Most people experience this sort of gradual shifting of awareness.
. Love and wonder define Soul Travel the best.

We are personally responsible for our own state of consciousness. As Soul unfolds toward total freedom, It understands total responsibility must be accepted for every thought and action.

Very often, we are confronted by people who want us to pray their way or colleagues who want us to think their way. We must remember to maintain our individual relationship with God. We have the shining light of Soul, and because we have it, we also have the wisdom of God.

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.


How can one interprete dreams? Plus are dreams not something that we have when we are stressed from thinking about something?
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by benodic: 8:55pm On Jun 14, 2016
@ delishpot

to interprete your dreams you have to start with keeping a dream journal. record your dreams as soon as you wake up. then do a spiritual exercise and contemplate on the meaning of the dream. ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the meaning of the dream.
dreams are not a result of stressful thinking. they are real experiences soul have in the inner worlds when the physical body is resting in sleep. soul does not sleep. it is always active.

you can download the book "Eckankar, Ancient Wisdom For Today" from the website eckankar.org.
through this direct link , https://www.eckankar.org/FreeBook/index.html.
it has a chapter on dreams that will give you further insight.

remain blessed

What are the doctrineS of Eckankar? I couldn't open that link you sent me.
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by benodic: 8:34pm On Jun 16, 2016

What are the doctrineS of Eckankar?


Eckankar teaches these basic beliefs:

Soul is eternal.
Soul exists because God loves It.
Soul is on a journey of Self- and God-Realization.
Soul unfolds spiritually via karma and reincarnation.
Spiritual unfoldment can be accelerated through conscious contact with the ECK, Divine Spirit.
Contact with Divine Spirit can be made via the Spiritual Exercises of ECK and the guidance of the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master.
You can actively explore the spiritual worlds through Soul Travel, dreams, and other spiritual techniques.
Spiritual experience and liberation in this lifetime are available to all

Thanks benodic I did download the book. Though interesting it did not help me interprete my dreams. I will read it up and maybe watch videos on YouTube if I can find any. Thank you for your support

take note that doing a spiritual exercise and contemplating on the dream while asking the Holy Spirit to give you insight on its meaning can also help.

you are always welcome.

Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by benodic: 4:44pm On Jun 19, 2016
Because of the restrictions of business and running to make appointments, some people don’t often feel there is time to be human, to let others know they’re appreciated. Other people have an attitude that says, "I like your company. We have to do business and we might as well enjoy doing business."
People who have this attitude are openhearted. They love their work. And through this love for their work, they are reflecting the love of God.
