This World is Not Our Home
In a variety of religions there is an understanding to the nature of the physical world. It is depicted as a transitory space, a place perhaps of learning, but certainly not a place to store treasure or hope. In Hinduism the physical universe is described as Maya (Illusion), in Christianity Jesus said that “my kingdom…

Surrender
Yesterday’s dream, today’s HU Meditation, I have come to realize my greatest struggle: my fighting nature. I realized that if I don’t make changes, I’ll incarnate again as someone struggling and fighting against others — a never ending battle. My character flaw is that I don’t like to be bullied, well who doesn’t, right? But…

Dreams Remembered
This month, for me, it’s the discourse on dreams. Each time I chant Sugmad, before I fall to sleep, I remember the dreams I have. One of my dreams was about living in a commune with people who wore blue robes. I brought my family to this commune and I helped out with the food.…

The Blue Light
I recently started the 3rd discourse in the “Easy Way” student material. In this discourse it’s about dreams. There’s several practices to do at night before going to sleep. In one practice I chanted the name of God, and put attention on the point between teh eyebrows… while relaxing in bed, but not yet asleep,…

The personality & death
I’ve been trying to connect to the Easy Path Satsang for months now. It just isn’t working out. The people in charge don’t seem interested in adding more people into the groups. That said, I have few Eckists to talk to. I did find an online group and posed this question: I was reading the…

The Emotional State
The ECK Initiate knows that the emotional state is that by which the dream state finds its true nature in this world. Soul lives in the constant state of dreaming, for emotions are awareness on a certain level. This is the awakened state of the astral sense; and while within this state, one knows and…

The presence of the New Mahanta
Last month, a new Mahanta was picked after 40+ years of service from Sri Harold Klemp. It was exciting for those who are members of the faith. Recently the spiritual name was revealed of the new Mahanta (Sri Doug Kunin): “rah – ZAH” The other night I chanted HU, then read from my copy of…

A Lie, A Truth, The anger of the masses
Last night I was looking through Instagram and I saw this faked video of the planet Saturn. The poster said it was from their observatory, but the video was obviously fake. It had a zoom from earth to Saturn (which telescopes don’t zoom like a telephoto lens), and then when Saturn filled the screen, it…

Doubts, Intellect and the Direct Experience
Yesterday marked a major change within the Eckankar organization by introducing the new Mahanta, Sri Doug Kunin. This means that the previous Mahanta of Eckankar, Harold Klemp, has just transferred control and direction of the group after 40+ years of leadership. As someone new to Eckankar, I wanted to know more about the process and…
