News of Public ECKANKAR Events in Northern Nevada October 2014 Worship Services “To get in control of your anger, try to catch yourself in the middle of an argument. Then chant HU softly to yourself. Let the argument run its natural course, just to see what it does to you. Suddenly you are surprised to find you are now in control of whether to argue or not, instead of being a helpless victim of your mind. Try this and see how it works.” --Harold Klemp, The Book of ECK Wisdom, p. 25 Worship Service RENO Accepting the Miracles in Our Lives Sunday, Oct. 5, 11 a.m. Reno ECK Center Cleric, Lisa McCamant Worship Service CARSON CITY Living an Abundant Life, Rich in Blessings Saturday, Oct. 18, 10 a.m. Carson City Community Center Roop and Williams St. Cleric, Alan Holdsworth Sing HU to Open Your Heart HU is an ancient name for God. When you sing HU, you open your heart to the Light and Sound of God. Here is a simple spiritual exercise to try: First, close your eyes and look gently to a point between your eyebrows. Then, softly sing HU (pronounced like the word “hue”). Now sit quietly for a few minutes. Watch and listen for the presence of God. It may come as a Light or a Sound, or in some other way.

I had been having a difficult time dropping into a deeper place in myself during my contemplations, my everyday life and connecting deeper with the Mahanta. This place helped me relax and trust enough to accomplish this.

May the Blessings be! Laurie Bray 775-384-9231 My original home was Northern Minnesota and I had missed it so much – my beloved lake, the moisture, trees, fauna and a more natural way of life. I had moved out of Reno because of the fast pace in Fallon, thinking that would help, and it was much easier for me there. I stayed on a 10-acre ranch with lots of trees, and it helped ever so much for a couple of years. The owners notified me that they were moving, and I had one Thank you, Mahanta, for these wonderful, rich and healing gifts. Patti Welle It Is Already Given I have been reading Anne Archer Butcher’s book, Inner Guidance, Our Divine Birthright. There is one chapter in which she addresses the idea that whatever we desire is already given. This brought back memories of the many gifts from the Divine that have been given to me without even knowing I had created them. One experience in particular happened years ago, and was such a welcome and much-needed gift at the time. I had often looked back wondering how this had come to be. I hadn’t done the usual visualizing and mental creating. I had just had these events—so gentle loving thoughts in my heart to be in nature and to love where I was living and to rest. It had already been given to me, and I had not realized that I had been creating this all along. I remembered the gentle loving thoughts I had in my heart to experience this. month’s notice to vacate the property. The ECK and the Mahanta work in such wonderful ways. I kept looking for another place, but nothing seemed right. One day I had an inner nudge to call a man who had a spiritual retreat at the base of Mount Rose, and offered to be caretaker of this magnificent place. He welcomed this and I moved in within a week. I became caretaker of 6,000 square feet of architectural splendor with two domes, a connecting solarium, a creek that flowed all year round within 30 feet of the center, with trees, fauna, negative ions from the creek, a wonderful wood stove and a generator for electricity. I spent a year there and realized how deeply I had needed to have a respite What Are The Light and Sound of God? The Light and Sound, known as the ECK or Holy Spirit, flow out from the heart of God. The Light purifies Soul. It helps us see our lives from a higher viewpoint. The Sound is always calling us home. It shows us the direction back to God. With practice, we learn to recognize these twin aspects of God all around us. The Holy Spirit teaches us in the smallest details of our lives. The Spiritual Exercises of Eckankar help us open ourselves to the Light and Sound of God.
