    and the future is contained within an inner library system.
    This is indeed what my students and I had begun to conclude. In these great libraries in the spiritual worlds, there are source manuscripts from which we can gather material or access truth. I had already had firsthand experience with this.
    On that day at the Eckankar seminar, inner walls came down. My heart was opened.
    It became apparent to me that no one owns the truth. Though I had long sought its author, the wisdom that poured into my classroom did not need attribution.
    It simply was truth, revealing itself to those who were seeking it.
    I was so grateful for this man, Paul Twitchell, who had followed through on his life’s mission to bring the teachings of Eckankar together in one place and make it so simple and accessible to all of us. He had gathered the wisdom of the universes of God into the most penetrating study I had ever seen, and my students and I were given rare access to that bounty.
    T his was the day, too, that I heard more about the Mahanta, the inner spiritual guide, serving all Souls with unconditional love. The numerous speakers that day referred to the Mahanta as the Wayshower who gives inner guidance and direction while allowing everyone complete spiritual and personal freedom. Because the Mahanta is an inner spiritual guide, he can be with every Soul at the same time, and he works closely with those who seek guidance.
    “How do I join?” I asked.
    “You can read some books and join a discussion group,” the pretty, redheaded lady told me.

    Inner Guidance: Our Divine Birthright
    “I have read some books, and I would like to join now, if I can,” I insisted.
    She gave me a welcoming smile as I wrote a small check as a donation and provided my address to receive the Eckankar discourses I would study in a Satsang class. Those monthly discourse lessons and the spiritual exercises they contained would help me connect with the inner wisdom of the Mahanta. That day I became a member of Eckankar and could formally study these ancient teachings. I was giddy with joy.
    When the student is ready, God will open the windows of heaven, and the Master will teach us, whoever we may be and wherever we are. Maybe, too, it’s the other way around. When the student is ready, he or she suddenly sees the windows that are always open, thanks to God’s infinite love, wisdom, and grace.
    How marvelous that the Mahanta would take such meticulous care of the spiritual evolution of one individual such as me!
    A paradigm shift had occurred in my life. I saw that possibilities are open to us that can change everything for the better. My life was being transformed and uplifted, and I felt acutely aware of the presence and gifts of God—more than ever before.

    The Ocean of Love:
    Inner Guidance during
    an Out-of-Body Experience
    Whenever Soul reaches the far orbits of the inner planes through Soul Travel, the human heart opens to God’s all-consuming love.
    It is our very purpose to discover that love.
    —Harold Klemp

    he inner experience was very clear. I looked out from the waist-high shimmering waves in which T I stood, and I spied the huge, brilliant source in full flood. It rose up as high as I could see and fell like a breathtaking waterfall all around.
    It appeared to be the magnificent origin of the ocean in which I bathed during this Soul Travel experience.
    Like liquid light, its waters flowed out in massive golden streams, sparkling and incredibly dazzling. A beautiful sound filled the air. Mists of golden droplets floated around me, and I breathed in all that I could of this stunning essence, feeling tremendously blessed to be alive.
