Rating:  Summary: Deceptive From the Start Review: As a former higher initiate and long time member of Eckankar I have decided to give a new and true perspective of what is being conveyed in this book.First, Klemp is not being truthful when he talks about "God." Eckankar believes that the "God" of all of the other world religions is a 2nd or 4th Plane God. The Mahanta (Klemp) resides on the 14th Plane of consciousness and is seen as the highest consciousness on Earth or any Plane! The name for the Divine in Eckankar is called SUGMAD. Also, Klemp talks of spiritual freedom and complete surrender to the Master (Mahanta), but discourages Self-Mastery and Spiritual Freedom for Higher Initiates. There are many contradictions in the Eckankar teachings (a creation of Paul Twitchell) as the current Master Mahanta (Klemp) tries to have it both ways by saying one thing and promoting another. Caution! Don't think with your heart when approaching this religious teaching. Most Eckists are nice and mean well, but they usually close their minds and even fear opposing views or different perspectives. This advice is for those who may contact a member of Eckankar. The bottom line is that Spiritual Seekers (Truth/God Seekers) or God-soul are equal to all other God-souls, and that there are no masters above other God-souls as Klemp would have us believe.
Rating:  Summary: Secret Everyday Events Review: I love all of Harold Klemp's books, especially this one, because he shows that the Holy Spirit (aka Eck) is at work even on the physical plane teaching us and giving us spiritual wake-up calls, little (or very big) reminders that our goal is to become a co-worker with God in this lifetime. I still use several of the spiritual exercises he gives in this book.
Rating:  Summary: God's-gentle way-Within Review: When an individual looks for God-Realization, it has to be more than a passing fancy. It's not like a fashion that you only wear for a season; you don't just forget your high aspirations for God. It must be something that is within your heart in a gentle way. You know that no matter what happens on the path, it is always to lead you closer to the source of Soul's creation in the heart of God. Soul wants to return home. By becoming conscious creators of our lives, we can meet life's challenges in a more relaxed way. We know we have the spiritual resources to make the best decisions at any moment. Harol Klemp's writing is truly simple, powerful and subtle adding to the reader's experience a new reality from where to live from.
