What is the Light and the Sound of God?

Often called the Holy Spirit, the Light and Sound are twin aspects of God. Known in Eckankar as the ECK, It sustains all life. The Light of God has appeared to many saints and mystics.

Eckankar teaches how to recognize the Light of God. Sometimes It comes as an inner scene or vision. It can be a flash of blue or white light. It appears in many ways.

The Sound of God was the rushing wind that visited the disciples during Pentecost. Some hear It inwardly. It can be heard as rushing water; the single note of a flute; the music of violins, woodwinds, bagpipes; or even the buzzing of bees.
