Dreams, Past Lives and Spiritual Experiences - Eckankar LI

Your open door for new spiritual horizons

Fridays are your chance to mingle with our diverse spiritual community. Come to our open house during the afternoon. This Friday evening, join us for our Sound of Soul event and spiritual discussion, “Nightly Dream Experiences—NDEs without Nearly Dying!”

Please Note: The building where our ECK Center is located has been sold and we are relocating the Center. Starting May 8, until we have found our new permanent location, we will continue our Friday events in the meeting room at 240 E 53rd St., New York, NY 10022 at the Quest Bookshop. Because of our NY Soul Adventure Seminar, April 24-26, and packing our Center, our last Friday event in our current ECK Center will be April 17.

Don’t miss your opportunity to:
• Connect with other spiritually minded people
• Have a solid moment to focus your attention on spirituality no matter what background you come from
• Feel lighter, laugh, and surprise yourself!
• Unearth spiritual insights into what’s going on in your everyday life

What’s happening this Friday

4:00 pm–6:00 pm: Open House & Individual Spiritual Study extra space
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!

6:15 pm–6:50 pm Sound of Soul Event
You are invited to join others in chanting HU, an ancient mantra, for about fifteen 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, ideas, and questions.

7:00 pm–8:15 pm: Spiritual Discussion: “Nightly Dream Experiences—NDEs without Nearly Dying!”
Join us for this compelling spiritual discussion. Dream travel is a form of soul travel. Working spiritually with conscious dreaming can open you up to enter dimensions beyond this physical world. Every night is almost like we are having a near death experience because Soul is leaving the body, but not to die or permanently leave the body, but to explore the spiritual worlds and return. It’s a way to prove to yourself there is life after death.

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!

Discover the worlds of God that exist within you by practicing Soul Travel.

Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to explore heaven while living in a human body? Join this interactive spiritual book discussion to learn about Soul Travel, a spiritual practice that opens the door to inner exploration and higher awareness. Let’s share insights and discover new ways to experience the spiritual worlds within.

” Whenever Soul reaches the far orbits of the inner planes through Soul Travel, the human heart opens to God’s all-consuming love.

“It is our very purpose to discover that love.”

—Harold Klemp, ECKANKAR’s Spiritual Experiences Guidebook, p. 23

You are warmly invited to attend our online spiritual discussion titled “Soul Travel—Exploring the God Worlds of ECK” that will take place on Sunday, April 12, 2026, from 11:00 am–12:00 pm.

The discussion will be based on Harold Klemp’s booklet ECKANKAR’s Spiritual Experiences Guidebook. pp. 21-30.

Experience filling your heart with the Light and Sound of God

Experience the transformative power of the HU chant at our Sound of Soul event. Join us for a 12 minute session of chanting this sacred sound to connect with the divine within yourself. Discover the peace, clarity, and spiritual growth that comes from immersing yourself in the uplifting vibrations of the HU. A facilitator-led spiritual conversation will follow the HU song.

“The Shariyat-Ki Sugmad, Way of the Eternal, gives this golden wisdom on the sound of HU from the ECK Master Rebazar Tarzs:

“’Let your faith, your inner trust and confidence stream forth; remove your inner obstacles and open yourself to truth.’ It is this kind of faith, or inner awareness and open-mindedness, which finds its spontaneous expression, its liberation from an overwhelming psychic pressure, in the sacred sound of the HU. In this mantric sound all the positive and forward-pressing forces of the human, which are trying to blow up its limitations and burst the fetters of ignorance, are united and concentrated on the ECK, like an arrow point.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 50

Singing HU can bring healing for body, mind, and spirit, and align soul with higher states of love, wisdom, and awareness.

You are warmly invited to join us for this online Sound of Soul Event on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, 12:30-1:30 pm. All are welcome!

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.
