Transform your life with a commitment to love as boundlessly as God does.
The topic for this event, "Loving As God Loves: A New Commitment," invites you to explore the depths of unconditional Divine love that is available to us whenever we put our attention on our spiritual nature as Soul. In this ECK Light and Sound Service, attendees will have opportunity to experience the heart-opening sound of HU, delve into the concept of Soul as Divine love, and partake in facilitator-led small group discussions where stories of Divine love in action can be shared.
“Love is the force that returns Soul to God. For the path of truth starts in the heart, and the journey home to God begins with meeting the Mahanta in either a dream or in person. The Spiritual Exercises of ECK give strength and comfort, for the simple daily contemplations give one a stronger bond with the Divine Being. We call the path of ECK the Easy Way.”
—Harold Klemp, The Living Word, Book 2, p. 48
