"Connie was working out in the
garden one day, and she did a bit too
much. She has a big yard.
"As she was working, her back
ached, the way it will when you're
working in a garden or in the yard. The
next thing, her heart was pounding, and
then she was getting dizzy. She said,
'Ah, what have I done to myself?‘ Very
slowly and carefully she made her way
back to the house, got out of the sun,
and rested.
"Connie said to the Mahanta,
the Inner Master, 'Mahanta, I need
someone to help me—now.' And she
put a big emphasis on now. Just at that
moment, her phone rang. It was a
friend calling to chat.
"Now, the friend didn't know
that this was a really good time to call
because Connie was having a crisis.
But there she was, and this was the
first help that the Master had sent—in a
nice quiet way, without any kind of
flamboyancy.
"They talked a bit, and then
Connie said, 'Wait a minute. I‘ve got an
idea. I‘ve got to call the radio station.'
The friend said, 'What for?‘ Connie said
she had to call a buy-and-sell show by
twelve o‘clock. The friend said, 'Well it‘s
twelve now.' Connie looked at her
clock. It was two minutes to twelve. So
she said good-bye and hung up.

"This radio show was very
popular, so there was a queue. Connie
dialed once and couldn't get through.
She dialed again, and a voice said,
'Thirty-seventh caller.‘ Next she heard
the announcer‘s voice. He said, 'What‘s
your question?‘ And she said, 'I need
someone to help me with yard work. I
guess I‘m getting too old for this.' The
announcer said, 'No, you‘re not!‘
"When you‘re a senior, this is
what you like to hear. Some days you
get down. Something‘s not going right,
and somebody comes up and says,
'Boy, you‘re looking good!‘ It helps.
"The announcer took her name
and address, and then Connie hung up.
And just as she hung up, her phone
rang. A man said, 'I want to work in
your yard.‘ Connie said, 'OK,, what‘s
your name, and what do you charge?‘
"Connie grew up in the Great
Depression, when there was very little
money and people did a lot by
bartering. So she was very careful with
money. Seniors have to watch the
money because it‘s not flowing in the
way it used to when they had jobs.
"The man said, 'My name is
Marv, and I don‘t charge. Can I come
over now?‘ A little emphasis on the
word now. Connie had told the
Mahanta, 'Now.‘ And here came Marv,
saying, 'Now. I want to come now.‘ So
she said, 'OK,, come on over.‘

Connie’s Call for Help
Continued from pg. 1
"Marv came over and did all kinds of work. He
replanted shrubs, worked in the garden, and raked up the
yard debris from winter. He really worked hard. And he
said to Connie, 'I told my wife not to expect me home for
dinner.‘
"Connie had been going around the yard with
Marv, saying what needed doing and so on. When it got to
be about six o'clock, she said, 'I'm tired. We‘re going to
have to quit now.‘ Marv said, 'You should have my phone
number in case you need help again.‘ Connie said, 'I want
your name and address.‘ But he said, 'Uh-uh. You‘ll just
want to pay me, and I don‘t want to get paid.‘
"It makes you wonder, Who is this gem? Who is
this wonderful man named Marv?
"Then Connie got curious. She asked, 'Why are
you doing this?‘ He said, 'I don't know. When I heard your
voice over the radio, I knew I had to do this.‘ Of course
Marv was the second help sent by the Mahanta, by the
Inner Master.
"No, it's not mind control or anything. It's a
spiritual connection that exists between Souls. Marv could
see, or could hear from Connie‘s voice on the radio, that
this was a Soul that really needed help. So there he was.
No charge.‖

ECK Book
Discussion:
Spiritual
Wisdom on
Life After
Death
by Harold Klemp,
Spiritual Leader of
Eckankar
Fridays
8:30 - 9:30pm
3 Weeks
June 12, 19 and 26
“Births and deaths mark
the journey of Soul. The
translation, or movement,
from one stage of experience to another is but a
further step on Soul’s journey home to God.”
—Harold Klemp, Spiritual Wisdom on Life After Death, p. 8
Have you ever asked:
~ Why is this happening to me or to my loved one?
~ Did I say everything I needed to my dying loved one, or to one who is
deceased?
~ How can I find meaning in life without this loved one? Can I start anew?
~ Do I really have to wait until I die to reunite with a loved one that passed
away?

The Community HU
Experience HU, a love song to God.
It is the sound within all sounds. It
represents the love of God for Soul,
and we are Soul. HU represents the
enormous love that the Creator has
for Its creation. To listen to the HU,
please visit http://www.HearHU.org
A Spiritual Exercise: HU is an
ancient name for God. When you
sing HU, you open your heart to the
Light and Sound of God. Here is a
simple spiritual exercise to try. First,
close your eyes and look gently to a
point between your eyebrows. Then,
softly sing HU (pronounced like the
word ―hue‖). Now sit quietly for a
few minutes. Watch and listen for
the presence of God. It may come
as a light or a sound or in some
other way.
See page 3 for Community HU song
times in this area, or visit our
website at www.eckankar-ny.org for
a statewide schedule.
Eckankar offers a great new resource:
The Spiritual Wisdom Journal is a
quarterly online newsletter for people who want
more spiritual perspective and encouragement,
especially in uncertain times.
Each issue offers inspiring articles,
uplifting stories, and dynamic spiritual exercises
by Sri Harold Klemp, the spiritual leader of
Eckankar. Known as a pioneer of "everyday
spirituality," Harold Klemp helps people around the
world find greater spiritual insight, and wisdom
through dreams, and relief from past-life
burdens.
