As we come out of our childhood of spirituality into greater states, we learn to let people be.

I really need you to explain this further, u mean we do not owe it a duty to guide people to enlightenment as you are presently doing, or we just let our lives do the talking?

we guide those who ask for it. others who are not interested you let them be. you do not force truth on people. it is actually a spiritual law called The Law of Non-Interference. The only duty you owe is to yourself to bring yourself out of darkness and go into the light.

On the outside, divine and emotional
love may look the same, but divine
love is joyful, thankful. It gives itself
fully.
Let love be what it will. Don’t let the
mind tell you one is human and the
other divine.

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.

If you make a meal, put love into it
instead of the frustrations of your day.
Because whatever is put into the food
is a reflection of what you have inside
yourself, and it goes out to your
family, it goes out to your friends. And
it makes a very real difference.

Most of our problems are self-made.
When things go wrong, if we take
responsibility and do something that
gives us greater understanding, life
becomes easier.
This is how it should be, rather than
having someone always giving us
spiritual, emotional, or physical
healings.
The idea is not to hide from life: It is to
live life, but without making the same
mistakes we did before.

Hello benodic smiley Good day, its been a while! l hope you are Good.
l hadn't been around--posting--cos l had a ROM upgrade for my phone. problem is it opens NL
on Mobile View; this doesn't give me flexibility as before!

l like to thank you for your responses to my e-mails! those times l could
reach you; l browse them and l get fresh insight and some words are brand new!
this is so handy!!

l got a question! when you made this statement: "you are soul" l felt there's something Beneath
. what is it please ?

secondly, what it is with this "consciousness" of a thing, l mean how do you know what level of consciousness you are
in? what are the requirements of increasing it, stuffs you should do or be doing, and other-wise?

There was this Exercise of the week--the 'Report' one--where you write down whats troubling you as a 'report'. is it for Eckist initiates only? thanks

you are soul and you exist because of God's love for you.


secondly, what it is with this "consciousness" of a thing,  l mean how do you know what level of consciousness you are
in?

very simple. The amount of unconditional love you can give out to life at any moment is directly proportional to your level of consciousness. the more love you can give the more expanded is your state of consciousness.


what are the requirements of increasing it, stuffs you should do or be doing, and other-wise?

doing the spiritual exercises is a very good step. this opens you to the inner guidance that will bring out the rest of the steps you need.

no. it is for every one to use.

thanks and remain blessed

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.

The very heart of the ECK doctrine is love. This love is that divine essence which unites all reality and brings together all Souls. The higher Soul goes into the other worlds the greater this becomes. Love is the bond which holds the worlds together. It is the living ECK, the Spirit of the Sugmad.

The law which all seek to know is the great principle of life. Its simplicity is amazing for it is summed up in the statement: Soul exists because God loves it.
In other words , all life exists because God so wills it. This is the very foundation of life, the whole of the philosophy of Eckankar. There is nothing more and nothing less.
All life is built upon this basic principle of God. If Soul did not exist, there would be no life anywhere on earth or on any of the planets, nor on the various and many planes throughout the universe of God.

God has established all religions because each religion serves a purpose. Each religion fills the needs of a certain group of Souls. And within each religion, there are those who are more advanced spiritually amd those who are just starting out on the spiritual path

What would love do now?

none that i am aware of. for me every day is a special day and every moment is a special moment to receive and share God's love.

Every Soul is unique. what may be good for one Soul may not be good for another Soul in terms of food. you have to discover yourself and what is good for you spiritually. That is why Eckankar is an individual path. The Holy Spirit gives you guidance in all areas of your life including what foods is good for you spiritually. all you need to do is to ask for guidance and you will receive it.

thanks and remain blessed.

The methods of Eckankar state explicitly how to find this state of consciousness which exists within Soul.
The road leading to this state, which is the kingdom of heaven, starts behind the eyes at a point between the eyebrows. This is the Tenth Door, which leads Soul to the original heavenly home from which it started eons ago.
When all consciousness is withdrawn from the body to focus at this point then the marvelous journey of Soul begins.

Hi Ben, how can one touch the robe of GOD. Thanks

one can touch the robe of GOD by experiencing the Light and Sound of God. This is made possible through doing the Spiritual Exercises, the commonest being the singing of HU as a love song to GOD.
