Winter 2017-18
A group of students from Ghana
traveled to another country for a year’s study. They wanted to become more fluent in French.
One of the girls, a black student I’ll call Mary, happened to meet a white German man. Soon they were close friends. Her acquaintances started to talk.
“Got a romance going?” they asked. “With a whitey?”
When someone of a different race, nationality, or even habits breaches the established order of a community, many times it’s a recipe for trouble. Eyebrows are raised, and fair-weather friends run up their true colors. So her friends began to spread rumors and pass falsehoods about her friendship with this white German male.
Mary wished to lose neither her friends from Ghana nor her new white companion. She debated about the best course to take. To soothe the ferment, she sought counsel in a spiritual exercise.
It’s easy to do a spiritual exercise. Shut your eyes and imagine a conversation with your spiritual guide, whomever you feel comfortable sharing the secrets or your heart with. It can be Jesus or some other religious figure. ECKists look to the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master, the spiritual leader of Eckankar.
So, in a spiritual exercise, Mary
said, “Please, Mahanta, give me an insight into this. What can I do? I don’t want to lose my friends on this side or my friend on that side.”
Such was the concern she laid before the Mahanta.
In the next instant she became aware of being in a past lifetime, standing on a shore with a baby in her arms. Close offshore stood a slaving ship. White men dotted the beach. They brandished whips at a line of black slaves ranged along the sand, shackled in chains.
They herded blacks on the ships while she watched in tears, with a child at her breast. Her husband was one of the slaves. She begged the slave masters, “Please let my husband go. We have a child.” Her plea brought harsh laughter.
Soon the last line of slaves boarded the ship. As they embarked, her husband cried out, “If we don’t meet again in this lifetime, surely we will meet in another.”
So Mary realized it wasn’t mere chance to have met this white German student and develop such a strong attraction for him. It was a past-life connection. She also began to notice an oddity. Whenever he was with her, he behaved like an African. He walked, talked, and gestured like an African.
She used to observe him and wonder, Now where did he pick that up?
When this inner experience had ended, the Mahanta said to her, “Your friend in this lifetime was indeed your husband then.”

Finally, Mary understood the strong rapport between
them. After this she could better handle the faultfinding of
her friends, who tried to intimidate her by saying, “You shouldn’t be seen with that white man. What will people think?”
This criticism was the voice of the social consciousness speaking. It’s an element of the human state that tries to put everybody within a society at the same level. It abhors a taller head in the crowd and attempts to pound all heads to the same social, financial, or philosophical level. This social consciousness is the great leveler. Its spiritual harm comes in its frantic zeal to stamp out individuality.
After this inner experience Mary drew a firm line with her friends, because now she knew the origin of affinity for the white German. He was a dear friend from the past. And there she took a stand. —Harold Klemp, Spiritual Wisdom on Karma and Reincarnation, pp. 15-19

The Mahanta, the Living ECK Master, the spiritual leader of Eckankar, will be the featured speaker. Experience workshops, spiritual discussions, and other activities for greater spiritual growth. Please visit www.eckankar.org for more information.
‟Non-directed prayer depends upon the divine power,
the higher power. It depends upon the power of God. So
whether you say ‘Thy will, not mine be done,’ or as we in
ECK say, ‘May the blessings be’ this is the proper spiritual
way to direct your own life.”

Experience HU, a love song to God.
It is the sound within all sounds. It
represents the love of God for Soul,
and we are Soul. HU represents the
enormous love that the Creator has
for Its creation. To listen to the HU,
please visit http://www.HearHU.org
The Sound of Soul
A Spiritual Exercise: HU is an
ancient name for God. When you
sing HU, you open your heart to the
Light and Sound of God. Here is a
simple spiritual exercise to try. First,
close your eyes and look gently to a
point between your eyebrows. Then,
softly sing HU (pronounced like the
word “hue”). Now sit quietly for a
few minutes. Watch and listen for
the presence of God. It may come
as a light or a sound or in some
other way.
See page 4 for Sound of Soul event
times in this area, or visit our
website at www.eckankar-ny.org for
a statewide schedule.
