October/November/December 2017 www.eckankar-vt.org

All are welcome to the following events hosted by Eckankar, a spiritual teaching that provides simple spiritual exercises for people of all faiths, traditions, and walks of life to develop and deepen a conscious and practical relationship with spirit. We can all share insights and find common ground at these free events held at a variety of locations throughout Vermont.

Dreams and Soul Travel - Keys to Healing and Inner Peace Dreams and Soul Travel offer us a way to connect with inner truth and find answers to our questions. Have you had a significant dream or an out-of-body experience? This discussion will be an open forum for sharing spiritual experiences and questions. We will try a spiritual exercise to quiet the mind so the next step in healing the mind, body and heart may be discov-ered. The spiritual exercise can also help open the world of dreams so they may become an-other true guide in your life. Monday, October 16, 7:00 - 8:30 pm - Eckankar Center, 95 College St, Burlington Life after Death What happens when we die? What can near-death or out-of-the body experiences teach us? Can we experience heavenly worlds in this lifetime or meet with departed loved ones? What can help us deal with grief? All are welcome to this workshop which will explore these ques-tions. Try a spiritual exercise that can help unlock the secrets of life after death. Wednesday, November 1, 6:30 - 7:30 pm - Fletcher Free Library, 235 College St, Burlington

Mining the Spiritual Gold of Adversity The question of why bad things happen to good people has been around forever. We each face problems - some large, some small. What causes them? Can we avoid them? This open discussion will explore spiritual keys to find the root cause of our problems and to unlock the secrets of effective problem solving. We will try a spiritual exercise to kindle creativity and help us to understand and begin to resolve our challenges.

"Learn to go inside

yourself because this is

the source of all truth.

There are a lot of holy

temples out there but

the most sacred of all is

the temple inside of

you, because this is

where you meet with

the Holy Spirit, the

Voice of God."

- Harold Klemp,

Spiritual Leader of

Eckankar

“. . . any experience you gain in your dream world is as

useful to you spiritually as any of those you may have in your

human body.

“To grasp the universal nature of dreams, take a step back

and imagine that you are standing at the top of all worlds. The

identity that can do that, to command a view of creation Itself, is

the real you – eternal Soul. Soul is a child of God, and by nature,

Godlike. And so it can share in the divine attributes of wisdom, joy,

freedom and divine love.”

- Harold Klemp, The Art of Spiritual Dreaming, p. 2-3

Eckankar Light and Sound Service

“The Voice of God can be known through the Light and Sound that uplifts us so we can reach into high states of spiritual consciousness. No longer bound by the hand of destiny, we then become spiritually free to mark our own

course for this lifetime and into the worlds beyond.”

-Harold Klemp, Spiritual Leader of Eckankar

Experience the HU

“Singing HU has been practiced for thousands of years in one form or another for inner attunement. In the same way a

musician can use a tuning fork to find the right pitch, the person singing HU tunes in to a higher spiritual awareness."

−Harold Klemp, HU, The Most Beautiful Prayer

All are welcome to join any of the Community HU Chants held throughout Vermont. Each HU Chant lasts about twenty minutes, followed by a brief silent contemplation and a time for fellowship (with some healthy homemade good-ies).

HU is an ancient word with immense spiritual power. It is the sound behind all sounds. Singing HU can open your heart, helping you to find peace, expand your awareness, and gain a higher perspec-tive on daily problems.

To listen to the HU, you can visit http://www.HearHU.org.
