Welcome to
Eckankar
|
|
"Open your eyes to the miracles around you: your
friends, your good fortunes, for all that life has seen fit to send
your way. Today comes but once. Recognize it's goodness. Open your
heart. Listen to a bird's trill and your sweetheart's whispers, feel
the warmth of a sweetheart's kiss. All is of the holy ECK, the Spirit
of Life. " |

- Harold Klemp, The Living Word, Book 3, pp.
118-119

Light and Sound–It's God's Love

Celebrations of Life
These are the ECK Consecration
Ceremony (for young children), the
ECK Rite of Passage (for boys and girls of about age thirteen),

An ECK Spiritual Aide session, though not counseling, can help you find
your own answers in challenging situations through the personal
guidance of Divine Spirit. The ESA session is conducted by an ECK
Spiritual Aide,
a specially appointed and trained ECK cleric.

above services,
but

Was That a Gift from God?
"The
gift of life is a treasure. What we do with our lives
determines our spiritual state and our degree of
contentment.
While we in ECK can have and enjoy the material pleasures of life, we
also know that all
earthly goods carry a price and last but so
long. And it is easy to lose them. On the other hand,
real
treasure often turns up in unexpected places."
–Harold Klemp, The Living Word, Book 2, p. 131
