There are many different aspects to Eckankar: dreams, Soul Travel, the ECK-Vidya—which is prophecy—and then all the healing aspects. But the thing that binds this all together is love. And it all starts with: You exist because God loved you, and God loves you. And for that reason was the beginning of Soul. We are made in the image of God, and inwardly we have the creative spark which makes us godlike. An ECK couple in Sweden has three pet birds, Australian budgies named Oscar, Chico, and Gullen. Their owners say these little guys teach them many lessons of love, especially about understanding love rightly. Wouldn’t you like to know how birds do that? The Law of Love affects Adele when she feels loss and separation. After her sister translated (died), Adele felt very sad. Soon the ECK brought her a lesson on love when she tries to save the life of a kitten struck by a car. You’ll want to hear the surprise ending to this story. A woman in the United Kingdom became widowed and was suddenly left with a large family and a lot of extra responsibility on her shoulders. Nothing short of a miracle could help her manage the situation she was in. The Law of Love provided for just the miracle she needed. Then there’s the story of Ray’s father who was a minister and had a secret he never revealed until Ray became an ECKist. Where does my freedom end and yours begin? Find out in this talk.
