Introduction

First printed in 1968 the KTE was one of the EARLY books that introduced people to that wonderful Tibetan ECK Master, Rebazar Tarzs.

His CONVERSATION with Paul is a HISTORICAL DOCUMENT that reflects Paul Twitchell's state of consciousness at that time.

This book proved to be a stabilizing FORCE in the lives of early ECK
initiates.

A small but IMPORTANT book, it is a good start for the individual who wants to MEASURE HIMSELF alongside Paul, who is certain to be reckoned as the spiritual GIANT OF HIS AGE.

In the first few pages, Rebazar TALKS interchangeably of the SUGMAD (God) and the ECK (Holy Spirit). We know the difference between the Source of all life, and ITS voice.

Rebazar WAS referring to the Divine Principle that created our consciousness, and how IT relates to us here and now.

Heady reading, the DIALOGUE between Rebazar Tarzs and Paul is best read a little at a time. One may then REFLECT upon the statements that seem to be OBSCURE.

But EVERY WORD in this CONVERSATION is important, for REBAZAR outlines the struggles one faces when he comes into the full scope of God Realization.

This is VITAL KNOWLEDGE for all who are destined to enter into God Consciousness and survive on earth as Co-workers with God.

A central point is that ALL knowledge and wisdom are NEVER given to A Soul.

This PLUS factor in ECK rekindles the light of exploration and adventure.

Even the ECK Masters high in the spiritual hierarchy are still learning thc SUGMAD's ways. The worlds of God are ever expanding, and no limits of time or space can contain them or the Souls who dwell there.

How important IS the READING of books and attendance at lectures and classes on truth'?

Rebazar says that the individual FIRST has to GET ... "the CORRECT LETTER OF TRUTH" ... BEFORE he can LIVE in the SPIRIT OF TRUTH.

HE tells how this is DONE.

This CLASSIC book from the EARLY years of ECKANKAR is to be read THOUGHTFULLY.

If read and CONTEMPLATED upon by someone who LOVES TRUTH, The Key to ECKANKAR will show him THE WAY into the loving, but fragile, marriage with the Holy ECK.

PERHAPS HE will IN TIME become A SPIRITUAL GIANT TOO.

My Comments:

IMHO, Harold Klemp evidently suggests that he can speak for "Rebazar Tarzs" and what Rebazar Tarzs meant at the time when Paul Twitchell wrote that book.

No mention of Neville Goddard.

For example:

"In the first few pages, Rebazar TALKS interchangeably of the SUGMAD (God) and the ECK (Holy Spirit). We know the difference between the Source of all life, and ITS voice. Rebazar was referring to the Divine Principle that created our consciousness, and how IT relates to us here and now."

"Spiritual consciousness is attained through the activity of truth in consciousness. Dwelling on scriptural quotations or statements of truth helps to spiritualize thought. The more truth we read and hear, the more truth is active in our consciousness. We learn to abide in the world by putting truth into ourselves. This is the first step on the way to God."

Based on: The Key to Eckankar - Twitchell

"Spiritual consciousness is attained through the activity of truth in consciousness. Dwelling on scriptural quotations or statements of truth helps to spiritualize thought. The more truth that we read and hear, the more active is truth in our consciousness. Thus we learn to abide in the Word. This is the first step on the Way."

Based on: Practicing The Presence - Goldsmith

[Note: Goldsmith says: "Thus we learn to abide in the Word." where Eckankar says: "We learn to abide in the world ... ." Typo???]

Comments:

Paul Twitchell and Harold Klemp both made remarks about Rebazar Tarzs. Paul, reportedly taking down Rebazar's dictation and Harold Klemp further remarking about

(1) the "conversation" "His [Rebazar Tarzs'] conversation with Paul ..."]

and

(2) the "dialogue" ["... the dialogue between Rebazar Tarzs and Paul ... ."]

and Harold also (in some respects)

(3) attempting to explain what Rebazar Tarzs meant.

On this newsgroup (and in so many words) it was suggested, even stated, that plagiarisms do not discount the verity of Eck Masters. Iow, that plagiarisms (by the founder of Eckankar, that were not exactly words from Eck Masters, but rather words copied from library books and credited to certain Eck Masters, etc.) have as if nothing to do with whether Eck Masters are real, or not. It almost looks to me as if some people would rather like to sweep the study and illustration for a "growing list" of plagiarisms out of the way and off of this newsgroup. Although this action is not entirely certain, what is certain are the number of personal "attacks" and ridicule, etc. of those choosing to bring up and maintain a discussion and deeper study of this topic.
