The fruits of Twitchell's Eckankar "truths" - one example from a decade ago now.


Protection Failure from the MAHANTA in ECKANKAR

(by Quoc Quy Hoang on 3/1/2005, Internet Search Code: QQH891955-1)

Being a 6th initiate in ECKANKAR and the Managing Director of ECKANKAR

Society of Central Australia in New South Wales of Australia for many

years until early 2004, I was very disappointed that my urgent and

extremely critical request for inner help and inner protection from the

MAHANTA was completely ignored. [...]


Dear Harold,

I attached my previous higher initiate report letter to you on July 4,

2004 in this same email for your convenience. [...]


The most drastic threat from the group of inner entities with facial

feature of Harold Klemp is to kill and remove Quoc Quy Hoang from

existence soon and at the end of this lifetime after the demise of

physical body to avoid the competition of the Mahanta consciousness.

They claimed to be from the Mahanta consciousness.


These entities have stolen my chakras and sushumnas above my head and

claimed to damage many inner bodies, chakras including the petals of

the third eye chakra and heart chakra. The body chakras were blocked

and energy flow from higher planes was also blocked from entering the

bodies.


These entities connected various energy bags and facial masks of other

people to my bodies to put impure substance into my bodies.

Quoc, ostracised as being a "problem" by Klemp, ESC HQ, the Board of the

Satsang Society and local Eckists. He died a few months later, alone.

2013 Feb-Mar Email Interview with Wanda Sue Parrott Recollections about Paul Twitchell and Eckankar

COPYRIGHT By Sean Arundell (published with permission) 2013-06-16

extract:

All over So.California, and subsequently across the country, interest in such psychic phenomena was starting to rise as a new field of psychology was evolving on college campuses. It had been kicked off at Duke University by Dr. James Banks Rhine, who, along with his wife Louisa, invented a deck of Xener cards that contained five symbols that were used in ESP testing and the scientific world was paying attention. The person running the test shuffled the cards, then looked at them, one at a time, while the subjects wrote impressions about the symbol on each card. A score of one out of five correct answers was normal; a score above that indicated psychic ability beyond "chance." Symbols were: circle, wavy line, triangle, square and cross.
This was the start off the new branch of psychological science known as parapsychology, or "psi" for short.
I actually began in 1969 to seriously cover the parapsychology movement and psychic explosion. In the early 1970s it spawned such popular movements as transcendental meditation, Eckankar and other schools, ashrams and churches blazed into glory and then fizzled like falling stars. A few of them caught on and continued to grow. Eckankar was one of them.
I am not sure exactly when Paul Twitchell and I had lunch together, but I remember that meeting. It was at Corky's Bar and Grill on W. Seventh Street in downtown Los Angeles. He had a youngish baby face with amazingly clear blue eyes and a soft-spoken Southern manner. He was one of many so-called psychics and seers trying to get me to run interviews that would promote their programs.
Among those I refused an interview was Uri Geller, a young Israeli who could bend spoons using telepathic powers. The only reason I agreed to meet with Paul Twitchell was because his name was familiar to me through publications I had read.
Although I knew nothing about Eckankar, I was familiar with Paul's name because of small ads he'd run throughout the sixties in Classified sections of magazines like ORION and FATE that catered to people interested
in everything unorthodox and metaphysical, as opposed to scientifically proven facts, from UFOs and aliens to near death experiences (NDEs), out of body projections (OBEs) and spirit communications.
Many of these small-press publications were spiritually slanted and religious in nature--just unorthodox by content, meaning they were not mainstream. They catered to truthseekers interested in everything from astrology to soul travel. It was a genre of quasi-reports and true confessions about everything from contacts with angels to prophecies revealed by God or his ministers about the future and of the world.
The whole movement at that time was like a set of railroad tracks running from coast to coast. One track was comprised of orthodox psychological science and established religions and the parallel track was made up of unorthodox psychics, contactees, mediums and ministers of every faith but mainstream!
The orthodox, or scientific, track was being laid slower than its counterpart. On the orthodox track were institutions that experimented again and again, with tedium, to prove their experiments got the same results time and time again before they could be called true, valid facts or laws. Among institutes on this track were the U.S. military, which was covertly experimenting with remote viewing as a means of psychic spying from long distance.
The counterpart, or fast track, quickly bypassed the other, since it was comprised of those who did not present verifiable proof of the validity of what they were practicing or preaching, or selling; they sold what they had to sell and let others decide the truth to their claims.
I sat across the table from Paul Twitchell and looked deep into his baby blue eyes and said "Paul, don't try to bullshit me." He was a salesman. Among things he'd sold were shoes. Paul knew I had his number, or suspected I had it, so the lunch was brief and pleasant, and we parted with no sense of having bonded. He did not sell me on Eckankar as an ancient science under that icky name.
He told me that as a youngster in the south, he'd had an encounter with a being like an angel. My reporter's nose for news sensed this was true. Whatever else he and a man named Darwin Gross were selling under the name of Eckankar was their twentieth-century product in which I wasn't convinced he fully believed.
Paul gave me a beautiful white leatherette book that had been written in calligraphy by a woman friend he called a chela in Las Vegas. I think her name was Helen, but could be wrong. It seems the title was "In My Soul I am Free." [more likely The Anitya booklet] I had no doubt Paul had spiritual experiences, but also sensed he was trying to use my newspaper to promote his project and get rich. I liked Paul. I just didn't trust him.
Metaphorically speaking, the train running on that uneven track crashed when President Richard M. Nixon resigned his presidency in 1974 and America went into a cultural tailspin that was marked by pocketbooks being tightened and minds following suit. The entire psycho-spiritual movement that was exploding across the country suddenly and abruptly imploded.
In other words, the great sweeping liberal open-minded psychic/spiritual explosion that coincided with the ending of the Vietnam War did an about-face and conservatism captivated the country and kept it prisoner until the Clinton era in the 1990s. Many upstart organizations died in the crush, but Eckankar, to my amazement, caught on and survived, reaching its foreshadow of success before Paul's untimely death in 1971.
I wonder, but cannot cannot know, whether he died without realizing the fabrication he sold as truth was actually the real thing.

Recollections about Paul Twitchell and Eckankar

extracts:

Much of what Paul said about Eck applied also to the Rosicrucian Order, to which I then belonged, having joined in 1963. Each such movement had its own terminology. Years later when I attended my one and only Eck meeting in Springfield, Missouri, the intonation of vowel sounds in a circle was just like a ritual in which we participated at our annual conventions in the 1990s.

[...]

Twitchell--continued
March 3, 2013
Sean, my subtle impressions about Paul were a combination of familiarity with his name, social class in the south and civil rights, and the tempo of the times... or perhaps "cycle" would be best. About every one hundred years, there is a major breakthrough of a spiritual/religious nature. In the mid 1800s it resulted in Spiritualism being born along with a bunch of offshoot religions and movements, which included Theosophy. This happened right after the Industrial Revolution and continued after the Civil War. There were religions that caught on, like Mormonism and Unitarianism. The Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists also were offshoot cults of Christianity. The deep south of the US was and still is quite fundamentally Christian, with the Southern Baptists ruling--and they basically were and possibly still are highly prejudiced against blacks. In the deep south, from which Paul Twitchell came, lowest-class whites were considered superior by those who were most prejudiced to the most refined and elegant blacks. There were deep class divisions among southern whites, from the lowest level called "crackers" of "poor white trash" to the southern belles and colonels of lore--and I have no way of knowing, but sensed intuitively, that Paul Twitchell did not come from the upper crust class. He impressed me as being more from a family of share croppers than former plantation owners. I also sensed he had a genuine spiritual awakening/initiation at a young age, the same kind of phenomenon that caused countless people like you and me to seek movements like Eckankar and the Rosicrucian's. .. and that gave people like the Amish or Mormons a holier-than-thou glow of spiritual beauty that made them look younger than their years. It is called an aura or halo of sanctity.
It is the same sort of inner radiance an elderly person suffering the final stages of dementia expresses--a line-free glowing face that has a saintly look... like translucence... although the mind behind it is blank. Spirit is ubiquitous and, therefore, ageless and people with that look appear ageless. Paul was probably about fifty, or maybe a bit older, but he had that sort of glowing look about him. [He was 59yrs] I know he said he had sold shoes. I think, but cannot swear, that he also sold bibles, but that might just be an
impression I got because he came from the Bible-thumping deep south ... a culture that gave me shudders on my spinal column. He was trying to sell experience that he called "the ancient science of soul travel." It was the same subject a West Virginia businessman named Robert Monroe had written about in his personal memoir about his journeys out of the body. They were matter-of-fact documentations that tried to sell nothing to anyone--until a few years later. I was highly disappointed to learn that Monroe had organized an institute and was charging people to join. The same with Edgar Mitchell, the astronaut, who came back to earth and shared some numinous experiences from space, and then founded a non-profit known as the Noetics Institute. All major religions started that way. One person had an experience that was of a sublime nature, talked about it, developed a following and soon a religious movement was founded. It happened with Jesus. It happened with Mohammed, and Islam followed. Joseph Smith saw an angel, as did Paul, and The Church of the Latter Day Saints ensued, as did Eckankar. EVERY FOLLOWER IN THOSE RELIGIONS IS A NON-EXPERIENT... BASING HIS OR HER LIFE ON SOMEONE ELSE'S EXPERIENCE. JESUS, IF WHAT IS REPORTED IS TRUE, DID NOT START A CHURCH. HE SAID, 'THAT WHICH I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED, YOU TOO CAN ATTAIN." HE WAS IMMORTALIZED BY FOLLOWERS AFTER HIS DEATH AND THE PEOPLE WERESOLD CHRISTIANITY. When Paul (and Darwin Gross) organized an institution and then gave themselves fancy titles and positions, they stepped into an arena someone described as: If you want to destroy truth, organize it as a religion. At first it must have been fun, exciting, challenging and evolutionary, and a good thing that appeared successful--like building a fictional land as in The Hobbits--and if Paul was from a lowest-class southern socioeconomic level, he finally made it up the social scale by succeeding in climbing the socio-economic ladder. That is only an assumption, for I never pursued the subject. Was he nouveau riche? Possibly, if it is true he had 300,000 members in Eck. [as per the article] AMORC claimed to have 250,000 members, only a small percentage being of the higher degrees. Much of the bursting forth in those days of unheard of movements of an esoteric nature happened in the late 50s and early 60s, and were obviously spawned by breakaway Rosicrucians. An example: Earlyne and Robert Cheney, who founded The Astara Foundation in So. California. The Brotherhood of the Adytum (BOTA) was another. It was Rosicrucian in most ways except it used the Tarot as symbols, which AMORC did not. Yet another called itself the Mayana. As with all these modern movements, the best way to sell people on joining was to add the elements of mystery: the groups were ancient, secret and held knowledge only insiders could obtain... to gain power over fate! The Rosicrucian Fellowship in Encinitas, which was already well-established, taught esoteric astrology, which AMORC did not. Attainment of Cosmic Consciousness was the goal of the neophyte who crossed the RC threshold when I did in 1963 and its mode of achievement was through attunement and partnership with the Master Within (one's soul)
and it worked wonders for me... but we also studied through various degrees, including the fifth--the degree of philosophy--the sixth, the degree of healing, and the seventh, the degree of projection (which Paul called Soul Travel). Today, a school of healing known as Reiki utilizes principles and practices that were, indeed, secret back in 1915 when H. Spencer Lewis first introduced Rosicrucianism in N.Y. From then until his death in 1939, he was called a fraud and all sorts of battles went on in which people tried to horn in on his success or gain power. Aleister Crowley was one of them. HSL was accused of being a fraud, and as Imperator, he claimed to be the only person to whom the position had been entrusted. Did he make up the term? I don't know. Early publicity claimed Sir Francis Bacon was imperator in the 16th century. Good publicity sales pitch! The term Eck Master is probably true, if Paul worked out a system of projection through the center of one's forehead that works, but was the he living master in a long line of now-dead ones? Or was he the first ECK master in a movement he founded in the 20th century? I suspect the latter is true, even if what he teaches is accurate and will work--but for what purpose is it important to be free to travel out of the body? We will all do so soon enough when we go through transition. In Rosicrucian publicity, the sales pitch was that AMORC is "Traditionally the world's oldest fraternity" with roots going back to ancient Egypt. The mission statement was, when I joined: To enable all to live in harmony with the creative forces of the universe. Although we swore to keep secret the exact laws and principles as shared with us, there was no law that said we could not revise them and teach them our way in the profane world, meaning mundane, world around us. We simply could not steal by plagiarism the exact presentations given to us. I have had the opportunity to read other branches of Rosicrucianism's rituals, including the Golden Dawn, and their rituals are almost the same as the ones in AMORC. And the OTO, with Aleister Crowly, had similar rituals except they were far more explicitly sexual. AMORC was the mild, conservative branch--which is a good thing for me! I left AMORC after the split, and went with Imperator Gary L. Stewart into the Confraternity of the Rose Cross.

Message on Birth Anniversary of the
Great Master Sawn Singh Ji Maharaj

by Kirpal Singh

[...]
The Great Master preached with a clarion voice that there are thousands of
lovers in all denominations, seeking the same beloved God. Although there
are different religions, they all aim at the same common goal before us. In
fact there is one Truth working in all. The differences in religions are man
made, due to the various customs and climatic conditions but their main
purpose is the same. His aim was to unite all humanity into one whole.
Unfortunately due to the bigotry and narrow-mindedness, brothers are being
separated from brothers. The Great Master made a common ground for all
high or low to sit together in His holy presence, irrespective of any caste,
creed or colour, and wok to see God. Thousands of people of all castes,
creeds and colours ran up to Him from far and wide for spiritual satisfaction.

I remember at one monthly gathering I went to the common kitchen where all
the visitors were served food free of charge, to find out as to what quantity of
salt was spent in preparation of the pulses in one day--and I found more than
ten* maunds of salt was spent that day. Just imagine how strong the gathering
must have been!

He revived the Science of Surat Shabd Yoga, which was lost sight of by
even the present preachers of all religions. He taught practical self-analysis
viz., to liberate the soul from the bondage of mind and matter and know
oneself and know god, by contacting the soul with the Divine link of Naam or
the Word within every man, which is the way back to God.

There are some requirements for achieving the object of life, viz., contacting God within. The seeker should be desirous of seeing God.

His heart has become dissatisfied with the worldly
attachments which are temporary and turns to find things everlasting, not
subject to decay. For this purpose a Living Teacher is needed. This aim
cannot be achieved by simply reading the holy scriptures. Those books give
experience of what the Masters, who came in the past, had on their way back
to God.

They are worth tons in gold no doubt, but this is a practical subject of
self-analysis and rising into the Beyond, the practice of which can only be
learnt from a Living Master. Mere devotion to the past Gurus and Teachers
whom we have not seen in person cannot help us in that way. We might
contact the Great Master when we learn to transcend into the Beyond. When
we meet such a Living Master we must have full faith in His wisdom and
competency as faith is the root-cause of all religions.

We need not have blind faith. Try to grasp the theory first, as theory precedes practice. When you are satisfied with the theory, you may take up the way as an experimental measure. When you receive first-hand experience, however little it may be, from the Living Master, you will be confident to develop the same from day to day by regular devotion of time to the spiritual practices.

The devotion of time to the spiritual practices with loving devotion and full faith in the Master,
you will be confident to develop the same from day to day by regular devotion
of time to the spiritual practices. The devotion of time to the spiritual
practices with loving devotion and full faith in the Master will give you
splendid progress from day to day. You have to develop love and esteem of
the Master by implicit obedience to His commands--Jesus said, " If ye love
me keep my Commandments." In this way you will develop receptivity to
receive the grace of the Master in abundance. Jesus pressed the need of
developing love of the Master so as to receive full benefit from the Master.

He said, "Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the
vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit for without me ye can do nothing."
(John XV 4-5)

St. Paul states about his love of the Master which gave him a sense of
Oneness with Him. "I live now, not I, but Christ lives in me." Hafiz a
Mohammedan Saint spoke in the same terms--" The Master has filled me so
much so that I have forgotten the existence of my very self."

As you think so you become. The Master leaves the body at will and
traverse to the high planes. By developing intense love with the Master, your
soul will begin to leave the body of itself without any strenuous efforts on
your part.

[...]

Guru Arjuna of the Sikhs also spoke in the same terms. " I have the highest
abode, and have innumerable worlds to live in. My rule reigns throughout the
universe. All creation is subject to me. People sing my praises from home to
home, and people own their loving devotion to me in all the world over. My
Father has appeared in me and Father and the son both are working as one. O
Nanak! Father was pleased so much so that Father and the son have taken the
same colour."

[...]

Thy body is not its permanent
a bode; it is only transitory. We have to make the best use of it. It is the
temple in which soul and God reside. We have to keep it holy and not pollute
it with sins connected with the five passions, viz., Lust, Anger, Covetousness,
Attachment and Egoism.

God is Love, our soul is also Love, and the way back to God can be achieved
through Love. Man are in the clutches of perverted love. If it is developed in
the right direction, under the guidance of a Living Master, way back is
ensured by listening to the rapturous strains of the Word reverberating in all
creation.

There is hope for each one of us. I wish a delight-full Christmas and a
Happy New Year; may it bring you new hopes and renewed vigour to traverse
the way before you. Let us have sincere devotion and implicit faith in the
Master-Power overhead extending all feasible help to enable us to stand on
our own legs. My heart goes out in love to all of you.

Robert Monroe - Born 1915 USA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Monroe

https://www.monroeinstitute.org/

Monroe began to experiment and research the expanded forms of human consciousness that he was experiencing. He chronicled his early explorations with a reporter's objectivity and eye for detail in a groundbreaking book, Journeys Out of the Body, which was published in 1971. This public record of his out of body experiences in states beyond space, time, and death has comforted countless people who've encountered paranormal incidents. It also attracted the attention of academic researchers, medical practitioners, engineers, and other professionals.

W. T. Stace (1886-1967) on Life Without God


W.T. Stace and plagiarism in The Key to Eckankar 1968?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Terence_Stace

It is possible that Paul Twitchell read that author.

Take a look at these quotes from TKTE.

"[....] "You understand that the SUGMAD is both Being and Non-Being, for God is God for
Hinduism and Christianity alike. The intuition of the religious mind is that God is Being and
Non-Being in one. But first we must put the two contradicting characteristics, Being and Non-
Being, into two different divine existences, and later follow the commonly known doctrine of
the trinity. Ultimately, however, we realize that all must be one in spite of the differences.
"This only means that God of ITSELF is Being, and Spirit is that extension of IT into all
universes, and you, as the instrument, are Spirit made flesh. This, as you may see, is the
trinity. Therefore, you become the messiah of the times, the Ancient One, the Word, or Spirit
in flesh.
"You see, the great religions of the world, however different in their detailed doctrines, spring
from one and the same source: the universal religious consciousness of mankind, the
universal impulse of one and the same mystical being.
"Understand this: the God we know is like a great whirling vortex, out of which comes Spirit.
This Spirit is like a sea, and man is a fish swimming in that sea. This is what we might call
the Ocean of Love and Mercy, a very poetic phrase. [... .]"

- The Key to ECKANKAR, by Paul Twitchell, pp. 8-9

... in my records I associated that section with Thomas Troward. I don't know why. There is a
mistake someplace.



So it was while trying to sort this out I found the following (compare with the TKTE quote
above).

[...] This is indeed the great riddle of the religious consciousness how God can be both Being
and Non-Being. And a contradiction can, of course, be solved by the separation of the
contradicting predicates. The same thing cannot be both square and circular. But one thing
can be square and another circular. And this is the solution which Sankara applies to the
Being and the Non-Being of God. The Non-Being is ascribed to the higher Brahman, the
Being to the lower Brahman. One may be sure it is the wrong solution, for God is One, alike
for Hinduism and for Christianity. And the intuition of the religious mind is that God is both
Being and Non-Being in one. The solution suggested is that of the rationalizing intellect,
anxious to do away with the Mystery of God, and to make religious truth palatable to common
sense and logic.
It is highly interesting and instructive to find that Meister Eckhart, of course in complete
independence of Sankara, adopts the same solution. He places the two contradicting
characters, being and non-being, in two different divine existences, although, following
Christian tradition and the doctrine of the Trinity, he realizes that both must be, in spite of their
difference, one. [...]
There could not be a more striking witness than this utterly independent agreement of the
Christian and the Hindu that the great religions of the world, however different in their detailed
doctrines, yet spring from one and the same source, the universal religious consciousness of
mankind, the universal impulsion of one and the same mystical vision.

I think Stace wrote this other article (see below) in 1947.

Btw, a lot of the philosophers / writers, and of New Thought, probably shared similar
information or worded things only slightly different. I'm starting to see this in my research.

The Fruits of Twitchell's Eckankar "truths"

Thread starts from here: 'The death of an Ideal and of a 6th Initiate'
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.religion.eckankar/1OruB7KqiFM/D2aYWG6Is04J

Plus, see the similarities between Paul Twitchell the fraud, and Carlos
Castaneda the fraud.

"If you want to destroy truth, organize it as a religion."

"When I was living with my cousin Margaret, she married a man we knew who was
a fabulous storyteller, only he wrote a story and passed it off as fact and
made a fortune for doing so--and he, too, was hard to pin down because he
lied a lot. You might have heard of him. His name was Carlos Castaneda."

"Like Paul, he changed his age. When I first knew him, Carlos was about a
decade older than me and by the time he died, he was at least a decade
younger... A decade before I met Paul, I told Carlos point blank not to
pull any stuff on me because "You cannot have my soul."

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.religion.eckankar/mM89NsQ5EPo/7ZjsA-cjBAAJ

Twitchell was a Scientologist, Staff Member of the Academy, Scientology
COUNSELOR, and THE NATIONAL Press Officer.

The very Month Twitchell is supposedly having his GOD-REALIZATION EXPERIENCE IN THE TIGER'S FANG - HE WAS WORKING FOR L. RON HUBBARD IN Washington DC.

Enclosed is a book ad for L. RON HUBBARD: MESSIAH OR MADMAN?

So, if you believe that Twitchell was sucking up to Hubbard and working for him
in July 1957, and at the same time was going through his God-Realization
experience with Rebazar Tarzs AT THE SAME TIME, you will believe anything.

If you believe Twitchell got his 2nd Eckankar Initiation from "Sudar Singh"
and his 5th to 9th to 14th Initiation from Rebazar Tarzs or any "Eck masters"
then you will believe anything.

If you believe that Darwin Gross went from a 6th Initiate in July 1971 given
by Twitchell, to a 7th, 8th and then an Eck Master 9th Initiate and LEM from
22nd September to 22nd October 1971, then you will believe anything.

If you believe that Harold Klemp went from a 6th Initiate in February 1981 to
9th Initiate in October 1971 given by Darwin Gross, or as Klemp claims to a
fully fledged 14th Initiate / Mahanta, then you really will believe anything.

And if you believe what Patti Simpson-Rivinus has said about Twitchell herself,
or via the forked tongue of Doug Marman, then you will believe anything.

If you believe that the booklet "The Key to ECKANKAR", still sold by Klemp is
a true and correct representation of Twitchell walking the shores of Puget
Sound with his beloved Rebazar Tarzs who is 'instructing' him at the beginning
of his "Eckankar mission" the truly you will believe anything.

It is entirely plagiarized contents and Klemp's added comments are just
bullshit talking. In fact, if you believe anything that Twitchell has written
and said about himself and Eckankar then you'll also believe in anything.

If you believe what Doug Marman has written and said about Twitchell, Klemp,
Eckankar and himself and his distorted delusions, then you have no hope at all.

If you believe everything said about Eckankar and spiritual paths by David Lane
then you also will believe anything.

David Lane still considers himself a "Satsangi" of Radha Soami Satsang Beas.
Although he does NOT buy into the majority of the mythology or hagiography of
the "masters" or the pure spiritual aspects of that teaching.

However, when it comes to his 'research' and writings about Eckankar, on most
occasions he was accurate and correct, despite many mistakes along the way.

The thing is that these MIS-Takes by Lane were honest ones and not intentional
lies or distortions. The fact is that in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s Lane like
everyone else did not have ACCESS to all the necessary information and records
one would need to draw a proper evidence based conclusion about all the dubious
matters surrounding Twitchell and Eckankar. Especially access to be able to
properly research original Copyright works that fed the massive copying and
plagiarisms by Twitchell.

This INABILITY of Lane and others to obtain substantive verifiable evidence
left the door open for manipulators and 'brainwashed' believers in Eckankar,
especially Doug Marman to sow the seeds of DOUBT about what Lane and others
had been presenting since the 1970s.

Marman, with the support and self-delusions of others up to Patti and Gail, has
intentionally operated to undermine David Lane's "credibility" USING DECEPTION,
Sophistry, Denial of Facts, and then the relentless mind-numbing manipulation
of Eckists and ex-Eckists alike - from 1983 to today.

The fact is that until the mid-2000s when the Internet really expanded it's
capacity to deliver digitized books, historical newspapers, and official
government records online even University Professors and professional
historians had very limited access to verifiable evidence about anything or
anyone.

That changed everything in regards what could then be sourced about Twitchell
and his grandiose baby he named Eckankar.

Marman's psychic crime in publishing the book The Whole Truth in 2006, based
solely on his never-ending intellectual incompetence and self-delusions was a
major insult to his readers - it closed their minds and hearts and spirit to
the real Truths about Twitchell and Eckankar.

More than that Marman has intentionally withheld information from his readers
about the history and himself and what he really "believes" and thinks.

This not only means he is a Liar intent on deceiving his readers, but he is
also a duplicitous Coward of the highest order.

Of course, their is absolutely no obligation upon anyone to believe me either.

You could of course go do your own research for your own self, or not.

It's your head!

Feel free to do what you want with it.
