"Soul Travel 1—The Illuminated Way", Lesson 1
January 14, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Online Zoom EventContact Spiritual Services Director, Deb Joy at DebJoyKSS@gmail.com for the Zoom link.
This year of study will give you a broad knowledge of Soul Travel, which is the expansion of consciousness that gives freedom on every plane of God’s creation.
Each of us lives in three worlds at once: the human, the psychic, and the spiritual. Soul Travel is inner travel. With it, we move our consciousness from one of these states to another. Soul Travel is the means to visit the worlds beyond our physical body. Mainly it is a personal experience, a realization of survival. Its purpose is simply to let us reach the heart of God in this lifetime.
Apollonius of Tyana escaped the emperor’s death sentence through Soul Travel. It led Christ to the cosmic consciousness. Through it Rebezar Tarzs, the Tibetan saint, found the Light and Sound of God.
And how is Soul Travel done?
With the spiritual exercises in the Soul Travel 1 discourses.
Today, the individual wonders: Where is the better way to God? Can I ever hope to understand and control my own life? Is happiness an empty dream? Where is love to fill my heart? And where is spiritual freedom?
The purpose of ECK is to let the individual reach the Kingdom of God by his own path, in this lifetime. These Soul Travel 1—The Illuminated Way discourses are written for the spiritual unfoldment of all ECKists, from the First to the Eighth Circles.

"The Spiritual Laws of Life" (Book discussion)
January 17, 2026 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Online Zoom EventHere is a valuable reference for anyone seeking to understand the workings of the Holy Spirit in their life.
As we begin to have experiences with the Light and Sound of God, we develop a greater understanding of the spiritual laws of life—laws of wisdom, freedom, and charity, or divine love.
The laws of wisdom speak of divine power and how it manifests in the universe. The laws of freedom are the practical laws that afford a smoother passage through everyday life. The laws of charity are laws that bring Soul a greater capacity to love.
Knowing these laws, we can then make our own life easier.
As awakened captains of our destiny, we can meet today’s challenges in a more relaxed and happy way. The spiritual laws of life give us the many resources to make the very best decision at any one moment.
—Harold Klemp,Your Road Map to the ECK Teachings, Vol. 1, p. 192
Open to all KY and WV chelas (members).
This class meets monthly. This month we will cover pp. 167–182.

"The Holy Fire of ECK, Book 4" (High Initiate book discussion)
January 25, 2026 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Online Zoom Event
For High Initiates only.
As ECK High Initiates, we have unprecedented opportunity to unfold toward ECK Mastership in this lifetime. The top of the spiritual mountain rises through the mists before us.
Sometimes we wonder, What awaits around the next bend of this sacred climb?
Of course the answer lies in the relentless love and guidance of the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master. Inwardly, we’re encouraged by his visage, voice, whispers, and even clear directives. Outwardly his talks and writings reveal key trail markers to the summit.
Here is a collection of vibrant articles from the H.I. Letter and The Golden Leaf with the power to dispel mist and illuminate the path upward. The Holy Fire of ECK, Book 4, can help you
- see how leading a seeker to the ECK teachings can be an initiation;
- recognize the ECK Masters at work and the secrets of divine miracles;
- understand how a destabilizing event can be a good thing, and above all;
- serve as a golden-hearted instrument of divine love.
In his introduction Harold Klemp writes, “The future holds exciting and challenging prospects. Love the SUGMAD, the ECK, and the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master, and you will prosper spiritually in every possible way.
“Read and enjoy this book. I’ve put my heart into it for you.”
This class meets monthly. This month we will cover Chapter 9.
All High Initiate (5th initiates and above) events are open to KY and WV High Initiates.
