Life is trying to teach us one thing: to see the Eck, Holy Spirit, in the eyes of all we meet. This means that those who have the enlightenment, or work themselves into it, have the ability to know that the Spirit of God is always with them. From then on they find peace and contentment and accept themselves without apology.

One of the biggest lessons we can learn in life is to do everything possible to reach an accord with the individual we are having trouble with.

An individual's state of consciousness (awareness) simply means his ability to accept change in his life. It includes new thoughts and new feelings, and the new behavior and actions that will naturally come as a result.

The choices you've made in the past are the direct cause of all your unhappiness today.

Know that you are a spark of God and can exist fully only within the realization of that profound truth. As such, you are a light and inspiration to others.

The ECK books are simply to show people how to go inside themselves, into the pureness of their heart, where they can get answers directly from the Inner Master about things of a spiritual nature, insights to help them in their life.

It’s quite a discipline when we’re in trouble to think of God and say, “I need some help.”
