"Talking Points"?

Wanted to speculate on the evolution of possible "talking points" over the years.

At one point plagiarism was denied, or argued that the alleged plagiarized books were not copyrighted.

At one point the amount of plagiarisms were alleged to be 1% or 2% of the total works.

At one point the plagiarisms (several examples, including numerous paragraphs now illustrated on a.r.e.) were said to be only plagiarisms; as if not much more than that.

In the past year the ideas of "no proof" and "cannot prove" have cropped up more and more with respect to what, if anything, the plagiarisms mean about existence of certain Eckankar masters and spiritual beings.

***

Some considerations.

If certain information (including the real life existence of certain Eckankar masters) is not true, because it never existed to begin with (except in the imaginations of readers who literally believed in so many forms of fiction, including pseudo history and religion), it could become a formidable "talking point" burdening others with the impossible task of proving a negative. It might be similar to asking others to prove Santa Clause and The Easter Bunny (Tooth Fairy, etc., etc.) are not real when so many people claim otherwise and having seen and had experiences with them.

IMO there is a difference with the Ecknakar masters topic, however, because these were claimed to have been real living people and not simply imaginary people created by the mind and in dreams!

Real they were said to be; and always having a real living master has been a characteristic claimed relatively unique to Eckankar, compared with spiritual paths not having living masters.

Now, in spite of numerous examples of word for word plagiarisms, and credited to Eckankar masters, people are challenged with the inaility to prove "these" masters were never completely real to begin with.

Leaded gasoline was said to be something at one time. As was asbestos and any number of other products later found (actually admitted) to be something else.
The proof was in the pudding, so to speak, and what so many nay-sayers did was try to coverup the truth and prevent the taking of personal responsibility and liability for having created and dispersed such products to begin with.

At the present time there are any number of non biodegradable industrial byproducts and materials - including radioactive and chemical wastes - that people are very desperately wanting to find a home for and "cover up". Many things that people want to make go away because they are harmful ... and my argument is that the topic of safety should have been more thoroughly investigated first.

When Paul Twitchell copied from books and told stories that were not exactly true (just like every other spiritual path has done, according to some) and other people saw this and were aware of it, then

1.) Why was it allowed to continue?
2.) How was it allowed to continue?

***

These things, imho, are in need of answering and study in order to better insure that this kind of thing doesn't happen again.

Thus, one of the big reasons for taking time to investigate the allegations of plagiarism and lies inhabiting religious ideology and dogma today.

Paul did know masters, masters writings and books by various authors that in his writings were alluded to; if not cited directly. The fact that content stayed the same, but later were names changed and words redefined and spelled differently suggests to me evidence for replacement and editing with intent.

"Real they were said to be; and always having a real living master has been a characteristic claimed relatively unique to Eckankar, compared with spiritual paths not having living masters."

Changing something vitally real, factual and true into something no longer so real is at best an imitation and reproduction designed to match what was real and based on real events at a certain time. Imo these would be real events such as the teachers and groups Paul Twitchell was once affiliated with, promoted and wrote articles for; along with the many real authors and books Paul both read and gathered from.

The main point hinges on the word "LIVING" master, imho.

So at one point plagiarism was outright denied, but later "borrowing" admitted.
How long before masters once qualified as living are later found to not have been living?

When even Doug Marman admits the phenomenon of putting other people's words as if coming out the mouths of Eck Masters I suggest this is a crumb to follow and not one to make disappear. It is one to follow where it leads, but I haven't seen Doug leading any more discussions here for quite some time. Not unless he is having others to do it this him.

Where are the R.S.'s who argued in favor of 2% plagiarisms now?

Where are the D.M.'s who argued in favor of not three consecutive plagiarized words in a row?

I think maybe they have lost the argument and any basis to reconstitute their former claims. Just like Darwin (or his secretary, whatever) could no longer claim no plagiarism in view of copious evidence to the contrary visible to those with eyes to read and see.

If there be an ancient lineage of Eckankar masters having passed information personally from one to another over thousands of years then let the truth be seen. If, however, the story (along with the truth) is something else and was intentionally changed, for various reasons, then I say let that be shown. And the reason is because the word "LIVING" is evidently vital to the creation and the continuation of Eckankar teachings here on Earth. And living cannot be changed to imaginary and qualify as the same thing.

Still can't spell? perhaps a dictionary is in order for the amateur linguist/astrologer/numerologist? A coward is one who always calls another names from behind his keyboard....not the best course of action, but hey, only you have to live with yourself, it's unfortunate that your obvious pride over what you consider a proving of another wrong simply isn't so...just another weak attempt to get someone to argue with....argue with your pet instead..

You love to call names and accusations that you have never been able to prove to people that don't ever read what you right and who don't care to answer you, then you claim that the fact they didn't answer proves you were right...LOL...downright silly, but hey, you keep blowing that hot air all around...but why am I still only seeing ONE person following you around? you seem to be jealous of others who have a larger audience than you do, but why, if you are so NOT a coward, are you unable to admit what is obvious to any who read here?

I am not apprentice to anyone nor do I await to become anyone's Master, but I still find this slander endlessly funny and further proof that you ARE a liar, since you have never been able to prove that I ever said such a thing anywhere!

Does a lack of conversations with Rebazar Tarzs prove he is not real? No, you cannot use a negative to prove a positive anymore than you can prove a negative...I'm not sure why certain people are unaware of this fact that is a definite part of the saying "You can't prove a negative."

The very same way, if we adopt your "logic" no shaman that has ever existed ever had any effect or did any good or served any actual purpose for the members of his tribe, why? Because his words are not in writing?

Once again you show a complete lack of the ability to think in even the least degree of logic, because you consistently judge life and others by your double standard, where anyone that you don't like is bad, but anything you do is not to be judged by the same standards as if you are exempt, but you are not! Wake up and smell the coffee! Or don't , it makes little difference to me, but you may as well know that it IS endlessly amusing to the public as they read this stuff, then to watch you endlessly claim that another is defaming you! You couldn't win a defamation lawsuit if your life depended on it!

But thank you SO much for the hilarity once again! RIGHT ON CUE, AGAIN! EVERY TIME!

With regard to spelling, you and I and Sean have all had typos and misspellings in our messages. Regularly.

Does the phrasing of "Implied claim" suit you better then??

As I recall, it was YOU who first mentioned suing anyone for any reason, and this is merely one mare attempt at manipulating the reader's perceptions, a thing you do on a daily basis these days....oh well, to each their own! Let me know when you have contacted the FBI by the way!
