Dreams, Past Lives and Spiritual Experiences - Eckankar LI

Discover the HU, a mantra that can uplift people of any religion, culture, or walk of life

Come for an inspiring experience of personal chanting and contemplation with the uplifting sound of HU, an ancient mantra that opens the heart to the love of God. Then join in an exploration of the spiritual topics that arise from this inner focus.

“You can open yourself and gain a greater awareness of who and what you are as Soul. You can do this by singing HU. Sing it to yourself, or sing it out loud. But do it every day.

“HU is your key to your secret worlds. Once you learn to use this key, you will find a blending of your inner and outer worlds. You’ll find yourself filling with love.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 53

HU is a carrier of love between God and Soul. Singing HU can bring healing for body, mind, and spirit, and align soul with higher states of love, wisdom, and awareness.

Monica Shelmandine, the facilitator for this Sound of Soul Event, is looking forward to sharing the HU with you and exploring the heart-opening power of this sacred mantra. All are welcome!

What’s happening this Friday

4:00 - 6:00: Open House & Individual Spiritual Study
Feel free to stop by and visit. Hosts are available to answer questions, orient you to ECK books or materials, and give you a tour of our home in NYC. If you’re looking for a quiet moment to do a spiritual exercise, read a book, or maybe even meet with a friend, this is a great time to visit. It’s also a great time to learn more about Eckankar if you’ve got questions!

7:00 pm–8:15 pm: Discover Wisdom in the Video Talk by the Living ECK Master: The Foolish of God
ECK Video Night is a wonderful, relaxed, heart-centered evening in which we watch a special 30-minute edited version of a talk given at a major seminar by the Spiritual Leader of Eckankar, Sri Harold Klemp, the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master. Afterwards, we enjoy a lively spiritual discussion on the themes and ideas presented in the video presentation.

In this video Harold Klemp shares how we are, at times, the Foolish of God. The people in our life need to be there for our spiritual unfoldment. As soon as we can learn the lesson that a particular individual, in a given time and place, has to teach us, we may go on to a new spiritual lesson. Sometimes the Holy Spirit bumps us out of our comfortable grooves. We are all foolish when we set ourselves against the divine plan. Often we don’t know we are doing that. To get off this wheel of reincarnation, we must get hooked up with the Light and Sound of God.

8:15 pm–9:30 pm: Fellowship
Fellowship is your chance to meet with old friends, meet new ones, share stories, and laugh a lot. Sometimes these spontaneous moments are where the deepest connections and conversations happen. We might even have food too!

Connect to Divine Spirit with a simple spiritual exercise.

At this Sound of Soul Event, you are invited to join others in chanting HU, an ancient mantra for about twelve minutes, followed by a short time in contemplation. This will be followed by a spiritual discussion in which you are invited to share your spiritual experiences, your ideas, and your ask questions.

“So the highest anyone can aspire to is a life of high creativity, but always guided by the force of divine love.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 74

Lynne Latella, a long-time student of ECKANKAR warmly invites to join us for this online Sound of Soul Event on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, 12:30 pm–1:30 pm. All are welcome!

HU is the Sound behind all sounds, an ancient name for God, HU is a carrier of love between God and Soul.

Singing HU can bring healing for body, mind, and spirit. It enables you to open your heart to experience the miracles that occur when you give and receive love.
