The Book of ECK Parables: Volume 1

by Harold Klemp, Heather Hughes-Calero, Joan Klemp

Well, look at this - the mysteries of God in black-and-white! Of course, there's more to it than that. But Sri Harold Klemp, spiritual leader of Eckankar, has the right idea. The principles of God must be told in simple, easy-to-read stories - if anybody is to read them. No heavy stuff about God in here at all, unless you take a minute to contemplate quietly on a story after reading it. The parables cover an important range of topics: Soul Travel, dreams, karma, death and reincarnation, the Inner and Outer Master, and most important of all - initiation into the Sound and Light of God. What is it? How did a parachutist on a jump avoid disaster when her chute failed to open? The story from Africa about the bald rooster: a lesson on karma in that? Or, the old tale of the acorn planter? And a victory roll in a pilot's dream, and what it meant. Now, these parables are low-key. You won't split your sides in laughter. They are stories for a practical and concerned individual who wants to start on the path home to God. That's all. These parables are different. And when you read them, you may just end up different too.
