Best Sleeping Techniques for Soul Travel ~ Harold Klemp ~ The Spiritual Exercises of ECK
Best Sleeping Techniques for Soul Travel There are three main steps to prepare yourself for Soul Travel in the dream state:
- Arrange your schedule to get as much sleep as needed to be fresh in the morning.
- For a few minutes before sleeping, read from one of the ECK books to signal your intent to pursue spiritual activity during sleep. I recommend The Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad, Book One or Two, or Stranger by the River.
- At bedtime contemplate upon the image of the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master. In this spiritual exercise, give an invitation to the Master like this: “I welcome you into my heart as my home. Please enter it with joy.”
Then go to sleep as usual, but leave the eye of Soul alert to the coming of the teacher. Look for me, because I am always with you.—Sri Harold Klemp

Unmasking…
I stand at the edge of a mighty forest
beneath the mountain of God.
I discard my fears and worries
knowing with whom I trod.
I have been here before…
other mountains
other shores.
I know that I have lessons to learn
before I go to my last rest.
All that is required of me, now,
Is to unmask and do my best.
I stand at the edge of a mighty forest
beneath the mountain of God.
I discard my fears and worries
knowing with whom I trod.
Reminder ~ Harold Klemp ~ The Spiritual Exercises of ECK
Reminder
If you wish to Soul Travel while you are asleep, remind yourself of this several times during the day. For example, say to yourself, “Tonight I will Soul Travel in my dream.”
Your mind will accept ideas that are repeated more readily than ideas that are not repeated.
Visualize the kind of dream you want to have as though it were already happening. After you have pictured the dream, picture its results. Try playing a movie scene in your mind of how you will feel when you have the advice or help you seek from the Dream Master.
—Sri Harold Klemp
The Spiritual Exercises of ECK
Snow storm…
The pounding of the snow
did not look like
any “Currier & Ives” gentle painting.
It was a sudden storm,
covering everything,
invigorating, enervating…
making you glad you are alive.
It started within me a few days ago
As the barometer dropped
My wind and storm began to grow.
I did not want to set back my clock.
I did not want to be confined to house.
I was not prepared to wait
for spring like a silent little mouse.
All I wanted to do was storm and buck.
The winds grew louder.
The snow increased.
The folks were huddling on the streets.
All night long the outer storm blew
It has been said we will get an inch or two.
I watched the storm safe from inside.
I, also, watched my inner storm subside.
On awakening with an extra hours sleep
All the world was covered shades of white,
Beige, fluffy and deep.
I have resigned myself to the fact , now,
that the deep contemplations of winter have begun.
The imposing, imprisoning silences
Will have their way.
The storm will abate.
We will go ride on the sleigh.
Now is the time…
Now is the time
To sing your praise.
Now is the time
to feel the Creator’s gaze.
A soft wind caresses the trees.
Soul is moved deeply by the gentle breeze.
Now is the time
to give praise and rejoice.
Now is the time
to give service with one voice.
Now is the time
for the Ancient of Days.
To be heard clearly and to follow Its ways.
Fran Blackwell ~ What If?
What if
God, executed the first planned parenthood?
What if
Soul is a conception of planned “Godhood”?
What if
True conception by divine reception
of God’s Will willingly birthed Itself,,,holographic ally speaking
What if
God impregnated Itself, multiplying IT’S Divinity…
What if
Soul IS God’s Will?
Yes, a challenging thought beyond illusion
this is..Soul a Love Child of God,
Till in full consciousness Soul knows the ecstasy…
going beyond illusions of forgetting
to remember Love is All
God IS Love..
And Soul, What is Soul?
Soul lives, embodied in all living forms,
But is not the form
Soul is the formless Child of God
We are Soul…Gods will in motion..
To gain experiences to learn, to know,
all that I AM as the offspring
of the Almighty Creator, the
progeny of direct God Given Creativity,
With the Power of Loving Creation,
All Soul must do is choose
Love/Power
Self Will/God Will
And though all of Gods lesson plans for each of ITS Children,
Through all timeless illusion, Souls journey is ever going
by Gods Grace into the very heart of Its True Home.
This state of Grace is realized through gratitude and compassion,
The true cloak of humility that dresses Soul as it awakens
to Its truth….of the great love the Creator has for It,
Yes a love so great, so profound,nothing can ever compare.
What could this be you may wonder, It Is The Beloved Master,
The one who has been with each Soul since Its Conception,
Made by God ….just for love, just so Soul would never be alone,
even in Its darkest moments, the love of the Beloved lights
the way within, shadows leave when Gods light chases them
to a nowhere place, fear cannot erase the face of the Beloved
from God Grace, for this is called“Saving Grace”
for life experience has taught Soul It’s value as a
Child of God, and through Service IT knows
Soul is Gods Will in action
What If?
Oh, yes, she said…
What is your greatest accomplishment today?
The young man asked in his twitter post.
“I got out of bed…that meant the most.”
When I was young and in my prime
I sang and danced all the time.
Now, I seem to dance with glee
As my body sometimes listens to me.
I have parts that work.
I have parts that don’t.
I have things that will.
I have things that won’t.
So when you are past your seventies
And you try to make things rhyme…
Give thanks for your blessings every time.
