When will Doug Marman be publishing his discussions, via email, with Harold Klemp
during 2011?
I know he had these discussions because he told me himself. I have no reason to
believe or suspect he could be lying about it.
Doug Marman said that "given Harold is a public figure" this legally overrides
any issues surrounding "privacy". Therefore, he said that at time in the future
he will be 'publishing' the content of those discussions.
Patti Simpson-Rivinus passed away earlier in 2011. Not very long after that
Marman published his "story" about Paul Twitchell asking Patti if she would
take over as the Living ECK Master to relieve him of the burden.
See:
http://spiritualdialogues.com/2011/07/a-post-script-parting-shot-for-patti-simpson-rivinus/
I believe that these discussions occurred between Marman and Klemp after this
"story" was published.
According to Marman, the discussions were about "when will Klemp be retiring
as the Living ECK master of ECKANKAR."
Isn't that interesting? Why would Marman be raising this issue with Klemp,
because it was Marman who instigated these discussions?
Can you imagine anyone else, emailing Harold Klemp, and asking, "Hey mate,
when you going to quit?"
Would you?
So where did all this come from? And why was it an issue post Patti Simpson passing away? Maybe that's only a co-incidence, but my inner guidance and
outer knowledge suggests otherwise.
Consider again the subject matter of Patti's story about being offered to
become the new LEM in 1971.
According to Marman, Klemp's response was that "they will need to take me out in a box" ... meaning he was never going to resign and would continue on until
he died.
At this point, Marman related to me that he then discussed a number of things
with Klemp including reminding him of what Klemp had said at the 1983 Eckankar
World Wide seminar to the assembled High Initiates Meeting.
There is a record of most of that meeting here:

The key thing Doug honed in on, he told me, was this comment by Harold Klemp
at that HI Meeting:
QUOTING KLEMP:
When it's time for me to pass the Rod of ECK Power to the next person,
I have to do it. I know exactly what I have to do whether it takes 10
years or 20. And the longer it takes me to do it, so be it.
The Rod of ECK Power gets too hot to handle beyond the time of your
mission and you have to let it go. Darwin had to let it go or the Rod
of ECK Power will burn you to a crisp, that means your health will go
to destruction. He had to pass it, when my time comes I have to pass it.
I know when my time comes, and the mission to me, even though all this
is happening is slowing me down, it seems too modest and too small.
The temptation of that time is saying hey we finally got it rolling,
let's go and then I'd say hey, let's go ten times the amount that I
wanted felt I should have done and it plays with me constantly, but I
know when that time comes, I'm setting it in my mind every day, I get
out and it's going to be good for the teachings of ECK.
The other question is, you're stuck with the person who holds the Rod
of ECK Power. (laughter) (applause)
[END QUOTE]
So what Marman said to me (via email) was that he was raising wiht Klemp this
issue of "The Rod of ECK Power gets too hot to handle beyond the time of your
mission and you have to let it go."
It was my impression that Marman was saying/hinting to Klemp that it WAS TIME
TO GO - SO WHEN ARE YOU GOING?
Otherwise, Klemp you are going to likely suffer just as Darwin Gross had (or so
the mythology that Marman believes goes).
Here it may be helpful to also consider what Patti Simpson was saying to me
via email in February 2011.
Part of that is here in this email from her to me:
2011-02-11 Patti Simpson-Rivinus P.S. My Take on it All
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-M0yAR0UPhPNy1YZ2F3VTRNTDA/view?usp=sharing
I draw your attention to this section:
QUOTE:
"I see no way for the master and the CEO to deal with people who have
obviously done their work and accomplished their goal. Most of them leave,
some get really upset and pick a fight and, sadly, throw out the baby with
the bath water. Unfortunately some who stay come to enjoy the power they
wield."
What striking about this, to me given other things she had said earlier, is
Patti's flippant reference to "the master and the CEO".
She does not use their names, nor even their proper "titles" in a respectful
manner. I was to discover that this was not a "one off" approach by Patti.
I would later conclude that Patti had little time or respect for Klemp or
Skelskey.
That is despite the Fact that she was instrumental in pressuring Klemp to
"get rid of Darwin or else" - in a letter to Klemp (on behalf of/cosigned)
by most of the 8th Initiates in JULY 1983.
Barely TWO weeks before Darwin Gross was unilaterally "dismissed" without
warning and without notice by the "Board of Trustees".
It was at this time that Klemp resumed the position of CEO/President of Eckankar
only to pass that on to Peter Skelsky within a year or two. Peter, as most will
know has now retired and there's a new President today.
Apparently, and this is a consistent "story" about Patti - who was a BIG
supporter of Doug Marman's activities at his SDP site and his efforts to redeem
Twitchell's reputation ending up with the book The Whole Truth.
BEST friend were Patti and Gail their whole life after Paul died, Gail came
out of "hiding" to write a PR "thankyou note to Marman" about that book.
It should be reasonably well known that Gail Twitchell was no great fan of
Klemp either.
And so what do we have here?
Marman, in the months after he wrote that story about Patti Simpson, he's on
the email having discussions with Klemp about "retiring" and moving on.
It was late in 2011 when my discussion occurred with Marman, iow post-WWS in
October.
The next time Klemp showed up in public he was in a wheelchair at the
Eckankar Springtime seminar giving his MY MISSION RENEWED talk.
HE WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE - GOT IT?
He also did a double-back and specifically mentioned that a WOMAN can
NOT ever become the LIVING ECK MASTER.
He also focused upon what he referred to as MINI-MASTERS - people he claimed
felt that THEY were ready and had been told that they were to be the NEW LEM.
WELL THEY WERE NOT - GOT IT?
As most would know, it was in early January 2012 that Klemp slipped on black
ice and broke his hip, ending up in hospital and rehab up to the April Seminar.
Isn't that all a bit "interesting"?
Here is a transcript of Klemp's talk with some info comments by me:
2012-04 Harold Klemp Eckankar Seminar Talk - My Mission Renewed (text extracts)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-M0yAR0UPhPbFNELWtIUVptLW8/view?usp=sharing
Have a read, see what you think about that talk now in 2016 and given what
Marman was doing chatting with Klemp in 2011. What do you make of it?
Interesting?
Well sure, but there's another kicker here courtesy of Marman.
He's a member of the "Eckankar" Yahoo discussion forum called Soul Forum, run
by Melodie Chrislock, she was part of the original SDP site he created in 2006. But they split and went there separate ways a while later.
The Soul Forum is private, unlisted, covert and "invitation only" - strangely
similar to the Bright Future covert group of Eckists who were active on a.r.e.
from the late 1990s to mid-2000s.
It's an interesting place. Anyway Marman is still on there, and a while back so
was Patti Simpson Rivinus. Marman has a way of ingratiating himself wiht people
as he's always so "nice" - he keeps an eye out for the "proper kind" of Eckist
for him to "counsel to a better understanding" of what Eckankar is REALLY all
about.
And so it is from there and by other means that PRIVATELY Marman has been
asserting for many years now that HAROLD KLEMP IS NO LONGER THE MAHANTA.
He claims that, well the what I will call the "Inner Eckankar Hierarchy Rules"
are that Klemp has every "right" to remain as the LEM - that only retirement or death can end that - that Klemp still has the "ONLY spiritual authority" to Initiate people into "Eckankar".
According to Marman Klemp has that for LIFE or whenever he wishes to "retire".
So even though Marman claims that Klemp has been REMOVED as the Mahanta by said "hierarchy" the "powers that be" cannot remove him as the Living Eck master!!!
One can be removed "spiritually" as "Mahanta" but not as "LEM" - you getting this?
Do you believe this? Or not? Can you even believe that Marman is out there saying this stuff as well as emailing Klemp about "retiring" in late 2011?
Fair Dinkum, as we say in Australia - how much can a Koala bear?
And yet despite Twitchell, Gross and Klemp being all asserting that they were
the Mahanta, the living ECK master, suddenly, under Marman's grandiose THEORIES
of life in ECK, HE is unable to tell anyone WHO IS THE NEW MAHANTA.
Times have changed and so the "lowly High Initiates, and even lower Initiates" you have to go work that out all by yourself using your Inner resources.
Now how is that for MAKING UP ECKANKAR DOCTRINE ON THE RUN ... ???
Can none these 'flakes' ever get their theories lined up?
See, according to Marman, he knows more than Twitchell, Gross, Klemp and everyone else about what is "right" and what is "wrong" as far as the TRUTH
of Eckankar Doctrines here on lowly Planet Earth.
Interesting? Well I really think it is absolutely amazing!!!
So what do YOU believe?
Better still, what do YOU really know - when even the Living ECK masters and
Patti Simpson, Gail Twitchell and Marman can't agree on anything ..... EVER?
Oh what a web we weave, when at first we do deceive!
Sleep tight folks.
Cheers
