Harold Klemp, the spiritual leader of Eckankar, introduces the talk “Life Is a Chancy Thing.” “There is a cowboy saying ‘There ain’t a horse that can’t be rode; there ain’t a cowboy that can’t be throwed’ It is a Chancy Thing for both the horse and the cowboy. Because this not being not quite a perfect world. No matter how good you are at something, you are going to fail at something. And how much of a failure you are in so many things, you can be very good at something. Now what I am pointing out here is the nature of Soul, that is us, you and I, each individual. Not the Soul, but you are Soul. There is this creative element, a gift from God which if we would get out of our own way, we could tap this creative element, whether it is to heal a relationship or work a situation out at work or find employment.”
