Malaysian ECK Newsletter - 3

This thing called change affects us on both a personal and social level. As individuals, we find it's smart to conform to the standards of those in our immediate community or else suffer for it in some way.

Look, for example, at one who's been a lifelong member of a church and one day decides he must go elsewhere for his spiritual unfoldment. Living within the anonymity of a municipality makes one's change of belief easier because few of the other church members are likely to know him on a personal level. There'd only be his family to resolve a change with – still an unpleasant undertaking.

But it'd be different in a rural community, or in a small town where there's only one church, one religion, and everybody knows everybody. In a close blending like that of the personal and social areas, change to a new religion would pose more misunderstandings. Even censure.

So where is this going?

As an ECKist, you are a member of a “new” spiritual teaching under the name of Eckankar. Let's say you've been an ECKist a year or two. Most of the personal and immediate tumult lies in the past. It's done. That heavy karma is finished.

Change Is, Oh, So Hard


The longer you're in Eckankar, the more likely it is that you'll move into some capacity of leadership. A Vahana, an ECK missionary, is especially aware of the subtle tides of thoughts and emotions that flow in the community. Introduce a new element, like the ECK teachings, into a place, and you can be assured of a reaction – either mild or strong. Let's just say here that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Now, bringing the ECK teachings into our personal and social world can likewise be a trial or an enrichment for all. It's in the doing.

History is a fair teacher. Let's take a look, then, at the persecutions that took place in England when its society said good-bye to the church of Rome, the Catholic Church. It was the Middle Ages. The Reformation had swept the continent of Europe. Finally, it came to England.

Here again we face the conflict between love and power. There will be more h a r m o n y i f a V a h a n a remembers to respect the just values of the community

and is not heedless of other's feelings. In short, it's all about love, consideration, and all that the two entail.

“ The longer you're

in Eckankar, the more likely it is that you'll move

into some capacity

of leadership. ”


But the lower class liked and needed the festivals of the Catholic Church, like the many fairs it sponsored to raise money to feed and clothe the poor. These fairs provided the lower-class youth a chance to meet, make sport, and thus marry and raise their own families.

Then came the Calvinistic teachings of the Reformation. It attempted to change the whole social order. The Puritans and the Presbyterians followed a teaching that allowed for no fun. No more all-day Sunday fairs. Instead, their plan of salvation had a severe face and body to it. Everybody could go to church for a couple of hours in the morning. Then, at home, the father was to discuss the sermon with his family in detail. That evening, for fun, they could return to church for yet another service. You can see how wrong this teaching was for the lower class. How would the young meet, have a good time, and find suitable mates? Guess the outcome. As could be expected, society wanted no part of the Calvinistic teachings in that form. They posed a threat to social order. One might have predicted the severe persecutions that fell upon the Puritans and Presbyterians. In a more recent case, a Missouri Synod Lutheran pastor tried several times to change the doctrinal rigor of his church. (This was the synod of my pre-ECK church.)


After the September 11, 2001, tragedy at the World Trade Center in New York, this pastor joined in an ecumenical prayer

session with clerics of other faiths. The assembly included Muslims, Jews, Sikhs, and Hindus. Among the Christians were

Baptists, Roman Catholics, and others. But that denomination of the Lutheran Church has a rule against such intermingling with other faiths.

The pastor had committed a big error, the second of its kind.

On the face of it, his church might well be deemed wrong to censure him. But a review of church history shows why the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod had made the strict rule about its pastors not joining in the prayer services of other faiths.

In the early nineteenth century, the king of Prussia told Lutherans to worship with Calvinists. That'd be as if a political leader, like, say, the president of the United States, issued an edict that ECKists were to worship with Lutherans, Catholics, or Presbyterians. It wouldn't fly.

In protest, then, Lutherans fled from Prussia to Australia and the United States, where some settled in New York and Missouri. Hence, a Missouri-Synod Lutheran Church.

What's all that to do with us?

Change is relentless. It picks upon the just and the unjust alike. It occurs outside of Eckankar when we come into contact with other people. Even more to the point, change also causes consternation within Eckankar.


For example, the not-too-distant future will see factions arise – say, the “Paulists”. These will insist upon some minor point that they've fixed upon from the time of Paul Twitchell, the first spiritual leader of the present incarnation of the ECK teachings. They'll be rigid in thought. Unable or unwilling to grow with the outer trappings needed to conform to the basic requirements of society, they will rebel against change.

These rebels will fix on the outer form of Paul Twitchell instead of recognizing the rocklike foundation of the ECK teachings that the Living ECK Master of the times is the Living Word. His mission is to find and then lift people into higher states beyond the human consciousness.

It's so easy to stay on track. Follow the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master. He'll guide you through all fears and illusions that accompany change.

Yes, for some, change is, oh, so hard. But for one who loves Sugmad (God) it is a rich, fulfilling opportunity.

- Sri Harold Klemp, The Living Word, Book 3, pp. 129 - 133

“ It's so easy to stay on track. Follow the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master. He'll

guide you through all fears and illusions that accompany change. ”


In August, I signed up for a contemporary batik workshop conducted by an artist whom I had followed for a long time on Instagram. I was very excited.

The morning of the workshop arrived. I eagerly settled myself at the table where the artist welcomed the 9 participants cheerily and started explaining the techniques.

She also passed out some sample artwork that we could trace onto the fabric, but ever since she posed the question whether we had any of our own artwork in mind, a vision of a bright HU glowing in the middle had fixed itself firmly into my consciousness and I knew I had to manifest that onto the canvas.

After drawing our designs onto the cloth with colourpencil, the next, and most difficult part of the process was the chanting, where we would dip brass instruments into the hot wax and trace them onto the lines we had drawn.

My first attempts were clumsy, as expected, but as my confidence grew, I started to point the brass tip onto the contours of the HU I had drawn. And splat! A huge blotch of golden wax spilled onto the cloth. The thing with chanting is, there are no do-overs, no second chances, you just had to go with it.

At first I felt consternation, but then I decided to replicate my accident by creating more splotches, as if I meant it to be part of the design.

Creativity of Soul By Foo Bihzhu

The instructor and the other workshop participants later told me that they wouldn't have known it was not deliberate if I hadn't told them, and I was indeed, very pleased with how the entire artwork turned out.

It reminded me of this quote by Sri Harold, “Soul, a particle of God, is blessed with the gift of creative imagination, which finds a solution for every problem.”

It then made me think about how everyone of us has to adapt to the drastic changes of life because of COVID-19. But if we would listen to the inner guidance of the Mahanta, all our “accidents” could turn into opportunities.

Now my HU batik piece hangs in my bedroom, and every time I see it, it makes me smile knowing that I can rely on Soul's creative power to find a solution for everything that life throws at me!

A Seed of Contemplation

—Sri Harold Klemp The Language of Soul

A healing can happen instantly. Or it may happen in other ways, such as when an individual comes in contact with another person

who says, "Hey, here is something which may help you." It’s still up to the individual to open his consciousness and accept the different

way of doing things.

Vol. 1 No.6 Oct - Dec 2020

Published Quarterly

Malaysian ECK Newsletter - 17Youth in ECK

THE HU Is in All Sounds Best for ages: 4 - 13

Sit in a circle. Close your eyes. Be very quiet for a few minutes, and listen for the HU in the sounds you hear. Maybe it's in a car horn, a whirring fan, your own heartbeat, or your breathing.

Now open your eyes. Going around the circle, take

turns telling where you heard the HU.

When everyone runs out of ideas, you can sing the

HU for a few minutes.

This is a good exercise to help you calm down and

feel quieter.

The Sound Current, the song of the ECK, is with us

every moment. We can tune in and listen to It whenever

we choose, wherever we are.

Questions for the Master

The Power of Holy Words

Can spiritually charged words such as HU be overused, as were God and abracadabra? And, is it OK to change the inflection, tone, or meaning of such words in songs, jokes,

or conversation?

God and abracadabra lost their meaning when people lost the Living Word. The Sound Current was beyond their reach, and the priests could not lead them to It. Perhaps it was frustration with a dead religion that first led people to take the holy names of God in vain.

One who communicates daily with the Word of God, the ECK, can only speak words of joy and reverence. The Sound and Light are his heartbeat and breath, his golden love. How can he then but love God – and himself? Pure and holy songs spring from a pure and golden heart.

This also answers your second question.

and his practical approach to spirituality, helpthousands of people worldwide find greaterfreedom, wisdom, and love. His teachingsuplift and help them recognize their ownexperiences with the Light and Sound of God.

What Are the Light and Sound of God?The Light and Sound, known as the ECK or

Holy Spirit, flow out from the heart of God. The Light purifies Soul. It helps us see our

lives from a higher viewpoint. The Sound is always calling us home. It shows us the direction back to God.

With practice, we learn to recognize these twin aspects of God all around us. The Holy Spirit teaches us in the smallest details of our lives. The Spiritual Exercises of Eckankar helps us open ourselves to the Light and Sound of God.

A Spiritual ExerciseHU is an ancient name for God. When you

sing HU, you open your heart to the Light andSound of God.

Here is a simple spiritual exercise to try. First, close your eyes and look gently to a pointbetween your eyebrows. Then, softly sing HU(pronounced like the word “hue”). Now sitquietly 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.

ECK: The Life Force ; the Holy Spirit ; Audible Life Current which sustains all life; the realization of GOD CONSCIOUSNESS ; the source of all.
