This clip—and the transcript below—is from Harold Klemp’s 2007 talk “Change Is Change.”

Myra also has two grandsons. One Saturday morning, they came over to visit. “Mark” is the older; he’s thirteen. “Jimmy” is eleven.

Myra greeted them with a lot of joy. She loves them dearly. Then she said to them, “It’s just about time for my spiritual exercises. You’re free to stay out here or go to the den and watch cartoons on TV.” They said, “No. No. We want to do a spiritual exercise with you.” So Myra said, “OK.” They went into her bedroom and sat on her bed.

She said, “All right. Look for the Light, and listen for the Sound. Look into your Spiritual Eye.”

It wasn’t five minutes later that she heard this snickering. Myra opened one eye. She’s been around. She peeks. She saw the younger grandson, Jimmy, sitting with his hand covering his mouth, laughing. Over his hand, she saw these two laughing eyes. At the same time, Mark, the older boy, was whispering in one of those stage whispers intended for Grandma’s ears, no doubt. He said, “She’s making it up! She’s making it up!” Read More

How Can I Be in Alignment with Divine Spirit?

Category: Questions and Answers, Videos Tags: Eckankar Seminars, Harold Klemp, Mahanta, when times are tough | 7 Comments

This clip—and the transcript below—is from Harold Klemp’s 2009 talk “The Secret Path to Heaven.”

I’d like to start with some questions from the youth, because they’re always challenging.

The first question is: When everything is going right, I begin to take my spiritual life and connection with the Mahanta, the Inner Master, for granted. How can I keep my inner fire alive?

Well, life has a wonderful way of nudging us back on track. The mind has a very natural tendency to want to go back to the track it came from. That’s the mind. So the experiences in life will see us having a good time—easy going, easy rolling. Then suddenly things will turn around and go wrong. Read More

Category: Relationships, Videos Tags: athiest, ECK youth, Eckankar Seminars, ECKist, gossip, Harold Klemp | 3 Comments

This clip—and the transcript below—is from Harold Klemp’s 2009 talk “The Secret Path to Heaven.”

Here’s a good one, the fourth and last question from one of our ECK youth: How do I enjoy the company of friends who do things which are against my personal code?

Now, these friends include a smoker, a gossip, and an atheist. Just like many ECKists, he has a real wide variety of friends. The quick and easy thing is to just get rid of them all! He can do that.

If you see somebody who has to settle for friends like this, you say, My gosh! What’s the matter with you? Read More

ECKANKAR: Inner Guidance—Listening to Your Intuition Can Help Others

Category: Inner Guidance and Intuition, Videos Tags: ECK, Eckankar Seminars, Harold Klemp, inner guidance, intuition, Mahanta, social conscience, social consciousness | 6 Comments

This clip—and the transcript below—is from Harold Klemp’s 1994 talk “Just Keep Moving Ahead.”

Often people are afraid to follow their inner guidance. It sounds like such a foolish thing to do, especially if they have to face other people and explain why they are doing what they are doing.

One of the very strong pressures in a seeker’s life is the social consciousness: What will people think? What will people say?

The social consciousness is so strong that it keeps people in religions that they have outgrown years ago. But they’re afraid to leave because they worry about what the neighbors will say. It is a very strong force that the negative power uses to keep people in line. Read More
