One of the aims of Eckankar is to show you how to build a bridge between the ECK, Divine Spirit, and your everyday experiences. This book can serve as a first step on that bridge, for it illustrates, in over ninety home-style, down-to-earth examples, the secret laws and workings of God.
How does a parachutist on a jump avoid disaster when her chute fails to open? Is there a lesson on karma in a story from Africa about the bald rooster? Or in the old tale of the acorn planter? And what does a victory roll in a pilot’s dream mean?
These light tales, gathered from Sri Harold Klemp’s talks, may seem simple at first. But choose a story that appeals to you, and read it again. Do you see how it is multifaceted, like a jewel? Hold it for a while and turn it over in your mind. As you go through the day, it begins to work in directions that weren’t obvious at first. It applies here, and again there.
By evening, you are ready to contemplate on the richness of your story
(for it is yours, now). Slowly you reach into the heart of truth—and find everything worth studying on the path to God. The door to heaven can open in many ways.
Each parable in this book sheds light on the issues of spiritual growth that confront us every day: harmony, discipline, love, trust, death, and reincarnation. Soul Travel, dreams, karma, the Inner and Outer Master, and—most important—initiation into the Sound and Light of God.
A unique teaching method is at work here. Each scene is described with a sharp, discerning eye that fosters logical thought and common sense. Soon you can see just where you succeed—or miss the mark—on your own journey to God.
It is a way to build a bridge and begin to heed the Voice of God, the ECK (Holy Spirit).
