[Eckankar Ontario Spiritual Events](https://www.eckankarcanada.ca/ontario-spiritual-events.html)
[Eckankar Free Books](https://www.eckankar.org/freebook/wisdom/)
"Creative people who cherish the gift of life often slip into the secret chambers of the creative mind. Their solutions are well-rounded, more sensible than those of people who rely solely upon reason as their mainstay. Gratitude unseals fountains of creativity, because a grateful person is relaxed. This allows him to take stock of these circumstances with an objective mind. A creative person often gets three-dimensional answers to his problems."
—Harold Klemp, *The Language of Soul*, p. 66

Embrace and Master Unexpected Gifts of Life - An ECK Light & Sound Service

“Often people are afraid to follow their inner guidance. It sounds like such a foolish thing to do, especially if they have to face other people and explain why they are doing what they are doing.
Yet showers of love rain down upon us simply because we are Soul, a divine spark of God. Its Voice, which showers the love, is the pure Light and Sound.”
