Have You Heard the Call of Soul?
Do you have an inner sense that there is a deeper spiritual meaning to life? At this ECK Light and Sound Service, you can experience the uplifting sound of HU, explore how Soul connects with the Light and Sound of God each day, and share in a welcoming small-group discussion on finding divine guidance in daily life.
“There is no mystery to finding God: just follow the Sound of the divine Voice back home. Could anything be easier? Not so for most people, for whom the pursuit of God is as unlikely as the phenomenon of a flying rabbit. And why? It’s simply not in their consciousness yet to know that the destiny of each Soul is to become a Co-worker with God, who expects more of us than an eternity of eating and play.”
—Harold Klemp, The Call of Soul, p. 5
