"The ECK Dream 2 Discourses," Lesson 12
March 16, 2025 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Online Zoom EventFor further information, contact your Arahata.
The ECK discourses are written with a secret, internal rhythm that gradually unfolds your consciousness in a very precise and orderly manner.
When you become a member of Eckankar, you receive a discourse series for your personal study. You study one lesson a month at home. If you like, you can also join an ECK Satsang class to share experiences, insights, and questions.
You will find the study of dreams in ECK unique. It is to make you aware of all that you ever were, are, or could hope to be in this lifetime.
The purpose of The ECK Dream 2 Discourses is to open you to your own inner guidance. The Dream Master will bring you to a different kind of dream than you have ever known and can help you to understand what before were only jumbled dreams of little value.
In time, he will replace them with dreams of insight, wisdom, and knowledge. They are about the most important person in the world—you.

"Soul Travel 1—The Illuminated Way", Lesson 4
April 2, 2025 @ 9:30 am - 10:30 am
Phone Conference Call EventContact your Arahata for further information.
The ECK discourses are written with a secret, internal rhythm that gradually unfolds your consciousness in a very precise and orderly manner.
When you become a member of Eckankar, you receive a discourse series for your personal study. You study one lesson a month at home. If you like, you can also join an ECK Satsang class to share experiences, insights, and questions.
This year of study will give you a broad knowledge of Soul Travel, which is the expansion of consciousness that gives freedom on every plane of God’s creation.Each of us lives in three worlds at once: the human, the psychic, and the spiritual. Soul Travel is inner travel. With it, we move our consciousness from one of these states to another. Soul Travel is the means to visit the worlds beyond our physical body. Mainly it is a personal experience, a realization of survival. Its purpose is simply to let us reach the heart of God in this lifetime.
Apollonius of Tyana escaped the emperor’s death sentence through Soul Travel. It led Christ to the cosmic consciousness. Through it Rebezar Tarzs, the Tibetan saint, found the Light and Sound of God.
And how is Soul Travel done?
With the spiritual exercises in the Soul Travel 1 discourses.
Today, the individual wonders: Where is the better way to God? Can I ever hope to understand and control my own life? Is happiness an empty dream? Where is love to fill my heart? And where is spiritual freedom?
The purpose of ECK is to let the individual reach the Kingdom of God by his own path, in this lifetime. These Soul Travel 1—The Illuminated Way discourses are written for the spiritual unfoldment of all ECKists, from the First to the Eighth Circles.

"The ECK Satsang Discourses, Fourth Series," Lesson 4
April 6, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am
Online Zoom EventContact your Arahata for further information.
The ECK discourses are written with a secret, internal rhythm that gradually unfolds your consciousness in a very precise and orderly manner.
When you become a member of Eckankar, you receive a discourse series for your personal study. You study one lesson a month at home. If you like, you can also join an ECK Satsang class to share experiences, insights, and questions.
An ECK initiate of many years said, “As I get older, I find myself having a greater love for this old earth.” He wondered if he was becoming too attached.“When I leave this world,” he mused, “it will be with a smile in one eye and a tear in the other.”
No, he was not getting too attached, I assured him. He was loving himself more as Soul. Didn’t Jesus say to love your neighbor as yourself? What did he mean? Simply this: Before we can love God or others rightly, we must first learn to love ourselves as Soul.
This gentleman was growing in divine love. First, he had come to love himself as a child of God, which then allowed him to love God more. This divine love for himself and for God was now growing to include even this tired, old world.
The purpose of the ECK teachings is to help you become a pure channel for the Light and Sound of God. That’s it, nothing more.
The ECK Satsang Discourses, Fourth Series, are easy to understand. They also show you how to protect yourself in a very turbulent period of history. This means spiritual protection.
All too often, chelas take the amazing teachings of ECK for granted. But not you. The spiritual works of ECK, you know, offer a true seeker the shortest, most direct road home to God.
The Spiritual Exercises of ECK lie at the heart of your inner development. Do them every day. They protect you from the worst powers of the Kal, or negative forces—which try their best to turn you aside from your chosen path to God. The spiritual exercises also help you win spiritual freedom.
Yes, you can learn the purpose of life. What is your spiritual mission?
In a nutshell, your purpose is to learn to give and to receive love. That’s it.
Read, study, and take to heart this next series of ECK Satsang discourses. In all ways, at all times, and in every hour of need or joy, please remember that I am always with you as the Inner Master.

"Letters of Light and Sound 2 Discourses", Lesson 5
April 9, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Online Zoom EventFor further information, contact your Arahata.
The ECK discourses are written with a secret, internal rhythm that gradually unfolds your consciousness in a very precise and orderly manner.
When you become a member of Eckankar, you receive a discourse series for your personal study. You study one lesson a month at home. If you like, you can also join an ECK Satsang class to share experiences, insights, and questions.
Think back. Try to remember your feelings when you first learned of the ECK teachings. Perhaps you felt excitement or, likely, even a bit of hesitation as you made a bold leap from old to new.
Soon the spiritual changes began within you. Rocky in some cases, but necessary, for the ECK was bringing you into a closer alliance of love with Itself.
The inner and outer teachings of ECK came together to mold and shape a whole new spiritual consciousness out of what had once been your personal road to nowhere. Secret, indeed, are the teachings of the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master.
The Letters of Light & Sound 2 Discourses series helps you focus on the goals of spiritual realization and God-Realization. It looks at our system of living. The structure behind the whirlpool of everyday events has a divine intent: to nudge you ever closer toward a richer, more direct relationship with the Spirit of God, the ECK.

"Letters of Light and Sound 1 Discourses", Lesson 5

Online Zoom EventFor further information, contact your Arahata.

When you become a member of Eckankar, you receive a discourse series for your personal study. You study one lesson a month at home. If you like, you can also join an ECK Satsang class to share experiences, insights, and questions.
By now, you are well familiar with the basic doctrines of ECK. But what have you gained? If it is only a mental grasp of the Sugmad (God), the ECK, and the Mahanta, then the best is still to come. You are now ready to unfold your spiritual vision.
The Letters of Light & Sound 1 Discourses are the next step in your spiritual training in ECK. In this series, we look at issues. You, even as Peddar Zaskq, are also getting ready to carry the message of Light and Sound to the people of the world. In your words and actions, they will see the Light of God. Some will ask about God and love and scores of other cares from their daily lives. And you need to know what to say.
This year of spiritual training will help you do that, as you grow in love and wisdom.

"The Master 4 Discourses," Lesson 8
April 12, 2025 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Online Zoom Event
For further information, contact your Arahata.
The ECK discourses are written with a secret, internal rhythm that gradually unfolds your consciousness in a very precise and orderly manner.
When you become a member of Eckankar, you receive a discourse series for your personal study. You study one lesson a month at home. If you like, you can also join an ECK Satsang class to share experiences, insights, and questions.
The purpose of the ECK teachings is simply to bring you into a state of divine joy and wonder.
Once there, the enlightened Soul feels the burning love of Sugmad, which causes a gentle sense of wanting to serve God’s creatures at every chance.
ECK of Itself is all, in power and in love. The higher you rise in spiritual unfoldment, the more you will prove the very same divine love to others. Love attracts love.
The love of ECK is universal, awesome in scope, like a sea of sweet oil ready to fuel the lamp of Soul. But without a stout wick, Soul’s light will not shine brightly or for long. For this reason, the Mahanta writes the ECK discourses for you. They are like a spiritual wick that let you benefit from the power, majesty, and love of Divine Spirit. Not as a feeble, flickering light, but like a strong beacon in the night of material darkness so other Souls too may find their way to the light of the ECK teachings.
It’s not overstating the case to say how fortunate a person is to find the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master and the works of ECK. God’s love is with you at all hours, day or night.
In fact, the love of Sugmad fills all creation. Like the sun, it shines upon both strong and weak. It blesses the young and old, the just and unjust, and the rich and poor. Most people, however, don’t know that. They hold beliefs of all sorts, some of which are valid, but many which are not.
The connection between you and the Mahanta is like a golden ribbon from heaven—strong, secure, and beautiful. Your light shines before all.
The ECK discourses are the Master’s way of keeping that bond of love strong and pure. Few understand their purpose. They are his way of keeping the band of ECKists together and headed in the right direction, home to God.
Many initiates in the early circles of ECK eagerly await the day when they, too, may read these sacred words from the Mahanta to advanced initiates alone. The Word of God shines in them.

"The Spiritual Laws of Life" (Book discussion)
April 19, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Online Zoom EventHere is a valuable reference for anyone seeking to understand the workings of the Holy Spirit in their life.
As we begin to have experiences with the Light and Sound of God, we develop a greater understanding of the spiritual laws of life—laws of wisdom, freedom, and charity, or divine love.
The laws of wisdom speak of divine power and how it manifests in the universe. The laws of freedom are the practical laws that afford a smoother passage through everyday life. The laws of charity are laws that bring Soul a greater capacity to love.
Knowing these laws, we can then make our own life easier.
As awakened captains of our destiny, we can meet today’s challenges in a more relaxed and happy way. The spiritual laws of life give us the many resources to make the very best decision at any one moment.
—Sri Harold Klemp,Your Road Map to the ECK Teachings, Vol. 1, p. 192
Open to all KY and WV chelas (members).
This class meets monthly. This month we will cover pp. 41–49.

"The Holy Fire of ECK, Book 4" (High Initiate book discussion)
April 27, 2025 @ 4:00 pm - 5:15 pm
Online Zoom Event
For High Initiates only.
As ECK High Initiates, we have unprecedented opportunity to unfold toward ECK Mastership in this lifetime. The top of the spiritual mountain rises through the mists before us.
Sometimes we wonder, What awaits around the next bend of this sacred climb?
Of course the answer lies in the relentless love and guidance of the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master. Inwardly, we’re encouraged by his visage, voice, whispers, and even clear directives. Outwardly his talks and writings reveal key trail markers to the summit.
Here is a collection of vibrant articles from the H.I. Letter and The Golden Leaf with the power to dispel mist and illuminate the path upward. The Holy Fire of ECK, Book 4, can help you
- see how leading a seeker to the ECK teachings can be an initiation;
- recognize the ECK Masters at work and the secrets of divine miracles;
- understand how a destabilizing event can be a good thing, and above all;
- serve as a golden-hearted instrument of divine love.
In his introduction Sri Harold writes, “The future holds exciting and challenging prospects. Love the SUGMAD, the ECK, and the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master, and you will prosper spiritually in every possible way.
“Read and enjoy this book. I’ve put my heart into it for you.”
This class meets monthly. This month we will cover Chapter 1.
All High Initiate (5th initiates and above) events are open to KY and WV High Initiates.
