You Have the Wings by the Eckankar team

As I walked from the long-term car park to the airport, my attention landed on an advertising slogan written on the back of a baggage trolley. “You have the wings all you have to do is fly.”

Normally such a slogan wouldn’t have meant anything. On this occasion, it was a sure sign Life, or Spirit was providing me with material for an upcoming talk about utilising spiritual survival skills to maintain clear inner guidance.

After giving further thought about the meaning of the slogan, a memory of a funny incident the evening before was triggered.

 I had been walking my dog in the local wetlands. I noticed four ducks fossicking in grass a long way from their pond. When they saw us approach, they became anxious. I realised we were about to cut off their direct pathway back to the pond. Spooked, all four ducks made a dash for it.

They waddled so fast, they nearly tripped over themselves. It was as if they had forgotten they had wings. Why didn’t they simply fly back to their pond?

The synchronicity of both events occurring close together emphasised Spirit’s desire to help me find talk material.

Students of Eckankar learn very early, spiritual techniques are the most direct way to help maintain a clear connection between you (Soul) and Divine Spirit. As a result, life becomes more of a spiritual adventure and less of a frantic dash back to the duckpond.

We learn Soul always has inner guidance. As the slogan says, “You have the wings all you have to do is fly.” So, why don’t we?

The duck experience at the wetlands was like a ‘waking dream’. Waking dreams are an indirect way of Spirit explaining something through an unusual incident you could benefit from. The ducks were representative of Souls in the human condition doing all they could to deal with the stresses and fears going on in their life.

When faced with something unusual, the ducks panicked. Just as we sometimes panic in life when faced with unforeseen circumstances. Due to fear or stress, we forget we are Godlike expressions of divine love with unlimited spiritual potential to master our life. We don’t always know how to go about raising our spiritual IQ to rise above fears and limitations.

I have learned how powerful the spiritual exercises of ECK are in helping me master my life. Their daily use raises my spiritual IQ, highlighting those significant signs, synchronicities and waking dreams spirit brings into your life.

Do you want to make better life choices with a fine-tuned inner guidance set to listen to the gentle whisperings of spirt?
