The Spiritual Exercises of ECK

The Golden Cup to be filled with your dream experiences. The cup sits by your bed. When you awake in the morning, in contemplation or in your imagination, drink from the cup. You are drinking in the experiences, a conscious way of saying, I want to remember what I’m doing on the inner planes while my body is asleep. The golden cup is Soul; it is you. As you put more attention on drinking from the cup, it takes on a life of its own. The more the ECK flows in and out of the cup, the more Soul shines of Its own golden light. You, as Soul, become an ever brighter vehicle for the Holy Spirit. The experiences you have will lead to greater awareness of your life and its divine meaning.

—Harold Klemp, The Spiritual Exercises of ECK, p. 25
