Recognizing the Slow Burning Love of God
Burrstone Inn, Ascend Hotel Collection, 1777 Burrstone Rd, New Hartford, NY, US6 attendees from 6 groupsExperience the transforming love of God.
Divine Spirit gives us the opportunity to discover our true self. Awaken to the presence of God within you to find love, guidance, and understanding. At this ECK Light and Sound Service, attendees will have the opportunity to experience the sacred sound of HU, explore techniques to help recognize Divine Spirit in everyday life, and partake in a group discussion where spiritual experiences can be shared.
“It’s a very humble love; it’s a true love. Don’t look too high, because you won’t find it. The love of God is often very low where no one will look for it. And this is why so few people find it.”
—Harold Klemp, The Slow Burning Love of God, Mahanta Transcripts, Book 13, p. 40

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 18
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.

“The Holy Spirit provides them, somebody points them out to you, but it's up to you whether you use them as stumbling blocks or as stepping-stones.”
