Each week the Eckankar Spiritual Center of Portland offers a broadcast video of an excerpt by Harold Klemp, the spiritual leader of Eckankar sharing stories and insight about a spiritual topic.
This week, Harold Klemp focuses on the spiritual topic — A Golden Contract.
Harold stated: This is the Golden Contract: that every encounter, without exception, is there to move all along spiritually on their way back home to God. That is every encounter, every event, without exception. Something is trying to nudge you back home to God. That means if you are a real hard nut to crack, to soften you up with love. Because that is what all this is about. This is what you are about. God is Love. And Soul being a creation of God, from God, is at heart a unit of love too.
Now, as Soul was sent into the lower worlds, it had to put on these different sheaths: the mental body, the causal body, the astral body, and the physical body. And they take on growth on the outside, which begins shielding the love that is inside a person naturally at the Soul level. It is all screened out. And it is not able to get through into this world where a person will be able to behave, and talk, and feel like a creation of God.
