If something is getting you down, here’s a techniquethat never fails to work. It’s simply a matter of raising theconsciousness, of shifting the attention to the ECK andaway from what is bothering you.
All you have to do is this: Stop thinking about thedifficulty, whatever it is, and think about the ECK, Di-vine Spirit, instead. This is the complete rule.
It is really just shifting the attention from one pointto another.

Can I Come Along?An ECK parable
from The Book of ECK Parables,Volume 3, pp. 181–82
by Sri Harold Klemp
An ECKist did a spiritual exercise one evening; she beganby reading a chapter in Stranger by the River called “Practice ofthe Zikar.” Zikar means “repetition of the holy word of God,”such as HU. Singing the word HU is the practice of the zikar.
The ECKist began to imagine herself in the book, beingwith the seeker, Peddar Zaskq, and his Master Rebazar Tarzs.She imagined herself asking permission to walk with them andlisten to their conversation. Inwardly, she said, “Can I comealong?” They said, “Sure.”
Suddenly she found herself not in this area of her imagina-tion but in a hallway on the inner planes. She walked down thehallway and saw a man coming toward her. He was about me-dium height, had a gray-and-white beard, and wore a turtleneckand sport coat. Later she identified him as another ECK Master,Fubbi Quantz.
Fubbi had a set of keys in his pocket. He led the ECKistdown the hallway, motioning her to hurry. They approached adoor at the end of the hall, which the ECKist imagined wouldbe opened by one of Fubbi’s keys. But he walked right throughthe wall; they were both in Soul body, and this was possible.She followed him into a bedroom where pearls were lying on abed. These were pearls of wisdom.
A loud noise brought her back from the experience. Shefound herself in the room where she had begun her exercise.
This exercise is designed to help you into the higher statesof consciousness so that you may become a greater spiritualbeing and one day a Co-worker with God.

Do It for LoveExcerpt from How to Survive Spiritually in Our Times,

by Sri Harold Klemp
A seven-year-old boy lives in ourneighborhood. He shoots baskets withunfailing discipline. There are twobaskets: the low one his dad put up forthe little kids, and the high basket for
the dad and for the kids who want to try to outreach theirreach. What’s a heaven for?
The boy is about two-and-a-halftimes taller than the basketball, maybethree times.
One day he was out withhis basketball. He’dmake a shot and thenback up. He was hitting50 percent. He keptbacking up until he wasabout fifteen feet fromthe hoop, which is along, long ways.
I couldn’t understandhow he could throwthe ball that far, evento the post, much lessthrough the basket tenfeet off the ground.But he was doing itbecause he loved to.
This is how weneed to learn to goabout living: todo it for loveor don’t doit at all.

If you’re doing something that is not for love, findout what’s the matter—either within yourself or withwhat you’re doing—and change it. But do it gradually;make smooth transitions, like shifting gears in a car. Ifyou’re driving along in first gear, you can put it into thirdgear and the engine will strain, but it will move. But ifyou’re moving slowly in first gear and you jam that thinginto reverse, you’re going to find all kinds of shiny littlebits of metal lying underneath your car, and the car won’trun.

A Gift for the MasterAn ECK parable
from Stories to Help You See God in Your Life,ECK Parables, Book 4, p. 243
by Sri Harold Klemp
Adreamerbrought anapple to theMahanta,the DreamMaster. But asshe broughtthe gift, shethought toherself, Thisshouldn’t bean apple. Ishould’vebrought apeach. Apeach, shethought, is amore perfectgift.
As she was holding out the apple to the Master andthinking about the peach she should’ve brought, shehappened to look down. In the Dream Master’s hand wasa heart.
The woman realized that the form of her gift didn’tmatter. It didn’t matter if she brought an apple or a peachas long as she brought it with her heart.
You can use this as a spiritual exercise. Imagineyourself in school, and bring a gift of some kind to yourteacher. If you are an ECKist, you can bring a gift to theMahanta. If you are of another faith, bring a gift to theteacher of that faith.
Be sure that you are giving with your whole heart.Then your gift will be one of love.
This shouldn’t be an apple. Ishould’ve brought a peach. A peachis a more perfect gift.

Key of OpportunityAn ECK parable
from Stories to Help You See God in Your Life,ECK Parables, Book 4, p. 363
by Sri Harold Klemp
Two weeks ago, I was in the post office getting my mail.A father came in with his daughter. She was really small,and in her hand she held a key.
The child ran back and forth across the lobby, trying herkey in all the different mailboxes that lined the room. I wentover to my box and put my key in to get the mail out. The littlegirl came over and stood beside me, watching. She thought itwas very interesting: My key worked when hers hadn’t.
I shut my mailbox, and the father scooped up his littlegirl and started out the door. He said to me, “When you’rethis age and you’ve got a key, the whole world is a lock.” Weboth laughed at this.
Later I was thinking about what he had said, trying tounlock the spiritual meaning. I realized that for a child thewhole world is an opportunity. It’s something to unlock. Thechild is always asking life, “Will my key work here?”
It’s this childlike attitude—that the whole world is anopportunity—that makes life a joy to live.

Let Me See Your PassAn ECK parable
from Stories to Help You See God in Your Life,ECK Parables, Book 4, p. 283
by Sri Harold Klemp
An African ECKist was going to work in abuilding, and as he came to the door, the secu-rity guard stopped him. “Do you work here?”the guard said.
“Yes, I do,” said the ECKist.“Let me see your pass,” challenged the
guard.The ECKist reached in his wallet and
fished around for his pass. Finally he found itand showed it to the guard. The guard wassatisfied. As the ECKist was putting his passback in his wallet, he said to the guard, “Youthought I was lying, didn’t you?”
The guard said, “No. You just have such abeautiful light in your face. I wanted to talkwith you.”
Before the ECKist had gone to work thatmorning, he had done his contemplation asusual. In contemplation, he sat quietly singingHU, allowing the Voice of God to come intohim. Because he had taken the time to con-template that morning, the Light of God had
come into his heart and was now shining outof his face.
Sometimes it’s just a pleasure to be aroundsomeone who’s shining with the Light of God.People who aren’t in ECK don’t always under-stand what’s going on or why this person isdrawing them toward him. But there’s some-thing special there.
Sing HU and then ask the Mahanta to help you draw apicture of yourself in the HU-circle above with the Light ofGod shining in your face.

Meeting Your FearsAn ECK parable
from The Book of ECK Parables,Volume 3, pp. 111–12
by Sri Harold Klemp
An ECKist had a habit of f lying off the handle no matter whathappened. If something came up, he would get very upset andfearful. He could blow any situation out of proportion.
One day as he was finishing his shower, he threw his wash-cloth on the f loor near the hamper for dirty laundry. One of thefamily kittens came walking by about that time and saw thewadded-up washcloth on the f loor.
The ECKist watched in amusement as the kitten cautiouslyapproached the washcloth, sniffing and circling. Its fur bristled asit got ready to fight this strange animal on the f loor. When it hadfinally decided there was nothing to fear, it scampered from thebathroom, down the stairs.
Two days later the ECKist and his wife were packing to go outof town. As the man put his wife’s luggage by the back door, thefamily’s second kitten came running into the hall. When it saw thebags, the kitten went screeching out the other door. Slipping andsliding over the kitchen f loor, it finally made its way to the dish-washer, where it crouched in terror. About this time the first kittencame in, cautiously approached the bags, and looked around as ifto say, I’ve already met fear.
The ECKist had to laugh when he realized the message. Oftenour worst fears turn out to be as harmless as a wadded-up washclothon the bathroom floor. Once we sniff it out and satisfy our curiosity,we let go of our fears. This letting go of fear carries over to otherareas of our lives, bringing us new confidence at work and at home.
Because the fear is gone, we’re willing to take a chance onourselves and grow. After all, this is what ECK is about: to growspiritually, to be more tomorrow than we are today.
What scary thing does the kitten think this washcloth is?Draw a picture in the thought circle above.

One Small Thing for LoveAn ECK parable
from Stories to Help You See God in Your Life,ECK Parables, Book 4, pp. 253–54
by Sri Harold Klemp
I got a letter from a woman whose life had pretty muchcaught up with her and stomped her down. She was fed up.In her letter she said, “Harold, tell it to me straight. Whatdo I need to know?”
I wrote back to her, “Do one thing each day for lovealone. Don’t expect any kind of reward.”
When the woman got my letter, she was so excited. Shecalled up her friend, “Hey, Harold actually reads theseletters. He wrote back to me!” She wanted her friend to goto the mall with her so she could tell her all about it overtea or a snack. But her friend said, “I can’t go to the mallwith you; I’ve got a meeting.” So the woman went alone.
She was sitting by an outdoor fountain in a courtyardenjoying her tea. The letter had opened up the love insideher, but there was nobody to share it with. She wanted tospill this love across the table. But the ECK wanted toteach her how to give love in the most humble way.
The woman noticed a small f lock of birds hoveringaround the fountain. Remembering the message I’d givenher, she said, “How nice it would be if I had some bread tofeed the birds.” And just like that, out of the sky came achunk of bread. Who knows where it came from. It hit heron the shoulder and fell to the ground in front of her.“Heaven does provide,” she laughed, and she fed the birds.
After she’d fed them all the bread, her friend walkedup. “The meeting was canceled,” she said. “We can havelunch after all.”
Love gives a shortcut to heaven. The birds couldn’treturn the woman’s love as her friend might have been ableto. Her lesson was to do one little thing each day for loveand love alone, without any expectation of reward.
If you try this exercise, I think you’ll find that lifegives you more and more.
Dear Harold, Do one thing eachday for love alone.Don’t expect anykind of reward.

The Open HeartIn this spiritual exercise, you practice keeping an
open heart throughout everyday life. It’s very tough; Ihave to work at it all the time too.
No one technique will work for everyone, but thereare ways to keep your attention on having an open heart.Start with something you can love, even a pet or a plant,and just love it a lot. As the love comes, let it pourthrough you.
The habit of love is catching; it builds, gains momen-tum, and becomes easier. But like a plant that needswatering and loving care every day, the habit of lovetakes constant attention.
Love won’t come through unless the heart is open. Towork with an open heart is to love or care for somethingor someone more than you do for yourself. This is thefirst step to the divine love that we are looking for.

The Overcrowded HouseAn ECK parable

by Sri Harold Klemp
Spiritual Exercises 14a Spiritual Exercises 14b
Chester Karrass, author of a book called Give andTake, told an interesting story about a woman in a Russianvillage who sought the assistance of a wise man who livednearby.
“I’ve got a problem,” the woman told the wise man, “aserious problem with my family. We live in a little hut, andthere is barely enough room for my husband, myself, and
our two children, but hard times have forced my in-laws tomove in with us.”
The sage thought about the woman’s problem for a longtime before answering. “Do you have a cow?” he askedfinally.
“Yes,” the woman answered.“If the house is very crowded and you are finding this a
difficulty,” he said, slowly and carefully, “I can show youhow this problem can be taken away from you so that youcan find happiness.”
“That would be wonderful,” she said, feeling somerelief.
“Take the cow into your house to live with you,” thewise man instructed. “And come back to see me in a week.”
The woman thought about the sage’s instructions. Itwas a very small house, and to have a cow in it seemed veryuncomfortable as well as strange. However, the womanknew that the wise man had a very good reputation, and soshe went home and brought the cow into the house.
The cow was a nuisance. Every time the cow turnedaround, the family had to jump off the chairs, which werealready pushed up against the wall, and climb over the cowto get to the chairs on the other side of the room. It was asmall hut, and the woman realized that this didn’t make anysense at all.
The next week she returned to the sage and told him ofthe overcrowded conditions in their hut. “The cow is anuisance. We can’t even eat because the cow is there. Wecan’t sleep. Every time it’s quiet, the cow will moo.”

“Do you have any chickens?” the sage asked.She was a little hesitant but she said, “Yes, I have some
chickens.”“Take the chickens into the house with you,” the sage
instructed. “And come back and see me in a week.”The woman was about to tell the sage what he could do
with the cow and chickens, but instead she held back,telling herself that she had only given the sage one chance.She would try again. So she went back home and took thechickens into the house. It was just a mess. Every time thecow turned around, the family jumped for the other chairs,which frightened the chickens and they would f ly in the airand the feathers would get into the soup. The in-laws werefighting, the husband was screeching, the cow was turningaround, and the chickens were squawking. It was the worstsituation the woman had ever experienced.
At the end of that week, the woman was beside herself.She hurried off to see the sage. “I’ve had it!” she yelled atthe wise man. “The in-laws are difficult enough, but withthe cow and the chickens, it is just too much!”
The wise man studied the woman. “All right,” he said,calmly, “if it would make you happier, take out the chick-ens.”
The woman went back home and took the chickens outof the house. A week later she returned to the sage andsaid, “You know, I am much happier. It’s much better with-out the chickens in the house. They don’t cackle the firstthing in the morning, and the children aren’t fishing feath-ers out of their soup.”
“Well, I am happy to hear that,” the wise man said.“Now you can go home and let the cow out of the housetoo.”
The woman was so pleased and relieved. She returnedhome and let the cow out of the house. From that momenton, she, her family, and the in-laws lived happily ever after.

A Perfect Game of Pac-ManAn ECK parable
from The Book of ECK Parables, Volume 2, p. 265
by Sri Harold Klemp
A child sat down to do her spiritual exercises and,within a few minutes, found herself at a video parlor inthe inner worlds. The Mahanta met her there and put herin front of a game of Pac-Man. The child became en-grossed in the game and said, “I’m gonna play a perfectgame of Pac-Man.”
After she had been playing awhile, she got very goodat the game. Then all of a sudden, it hit her. “What am Idoing playing Pac-Man? I’ve got to get back to my spiri-tual exercises.”
The child woke up. She didn’t know she had been inthe Soul body on the other planes, so as soon as shethought of getting back to her spiritual exercises, shewoke up. Later she realized that the Mahanta had takenher out of the body and that she hadn’t even known it.
The younger we are in consciousness, the less fixedwe are in our expectations of what we think we shouldsee in the other worlds. All too often we expect theMaster to come to us in f lowing robes; we limit ourselvesby these expectations. To the child, the world is an openbook, and the Mahanta has so much more room to work.When we become as a child in consciousness, our suc-cess in Soul Traveling is greater.
