ECKANKAR: Exploring Spirituality

Are you ready to experience freedom in your heart, mind, and Soul?

Do you want to become aware of the presence of God in your daily life? Are you ready to tap into the divine life source for unlimited creativity and problem-solving? We welcome your presence at any of our 3-part discussion series to explore these life-changing choices, where we can share experiences, gain insights, and learn new techniques for tapping into the divine within yourself.

“Spiritual freedom is growing into a state of more godliness. Becoming more aware of the presence of God. How do you do this? By becoming aware of the lessons behind your everyday experiences. This is how you grow into a loving awareness of the presence of God.”

—Harold Klemp, ECK Wisdom on Spiritual Freedom, p. 4

Join others for an open discussion in this online class to be held on Zoom, titled Find Freedom Within and Enrich Your Outer Life, where we will be taking inspiration from various sections of the booklet ECK Wisdom on Spiritual Freedom by Harold Klemp.

Would you like to dive deeper into the purpose and meaning of your dreams?

Join others in an exploration of the seeming mystery of our dreams. Can we learn to interpret the symbols that hold personal messages for us, or find answers to our deepest questions? We welcome your stories and insights and will share tried and true techniques for getting the most out of your dream life.

“It is the nature of immortal Soul to dream. This is why your dreams, both in everyday life and while asleep, are so important.”

Discover the subtle miracles in every moment of life!

During this facilitator-led spiritual discussion on miracles, you will have the opportunity to engage in a conversation that helps you to acknowledge the miracles that occur daily. Spiritual practices will be shared that can help you to deepen your connection to these divine experiences and heighten your recognition of the miracles that occur within dreams, through inner guidance, and by shifting to a spiritual perspective.

“Every moment is known to be of infinite value, not because of what precedes or follows it, but because it is the moment of communication with God.”

Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad, Book Two, p. 131

You are warmly welcome to join us for an online, interactive spiritual discussion sponsored by Eckankar in New York titled “Recognizing Everyday Miracles.” It will be held on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, 7:30 pm–8:30 pm.

Monica Shelmandine, the facilitator for this in-person event, is a long-time student of Eckankar who loves to view life with love and joy. Monica wonders: “Have you experienced a miracle in your daily life? Was it in a dream, in nature, in conversation with a friend, or another way? Realizing God’s hand in our daily experiences expands our awareness of the spiritual gifts that we receive.”

Our Spiritual Discussion will include:
• Realizing that a miracle is a change in our state of consciousness;
• Experiencing miracles from our dreams;
• Listening to our intuition;
• Accepting we are Soul, a spark of God;
• Living in the moment.

During this spiritual discussion, perhaps you will recognize more of your own spiritual experiences and everyday miracles. Monica hopes that you will share your stories, ask questions, and gain deeper understandings. All are welcome!

Thank you!
