--- --- ---
NOTES:
Dharma Aircraft Ltd was formally renamed to GLEN EDEN Ltd - T/A GLEN EDEN PRESS
Gross and Nichols judged there were Tax, Expenses, and operational benefits of
setting this up in Oregon vs CA/NV
This was the doing the exact same thing that Paul & Gail Twitchell did in creating
IWP - Illuminated Way Press - in the 1960s as a separate Company to ECKANKAR Corporation.
IWP was abandoned by ECKANKAR in the late 1970s after Gail & Gross parted ways
Repeating a comment from: Klempankar Cult versus Sri DARWIN GROSS
"Klemp as well as every other Trustee VOTED FOR THE TRANSFER OF FUNDS to
[Dharma Aircraft Ltd accounts] the newly name changed Glen Eden Press in
Oregon before any of those Bank transfers were effected or attempted to be effected.
"It is Klemp himself who was operating OUTSIDE his level of Authority,
and the prior agreement by Votes of the Board of Trustees, unlawfully
and unethically interfered in Blocking some of those bank transfers."

[...] "and um I want to mention that this money that was moved [in June/July 83]
up to the Oregon organization, this corporation, which was a baby corporation
from ECKANKAR which was set up, $2.6 million, 260 thou, 2 million 600 thousand
dollars was moved up there, specifically against the advice of myself and the
board members.
And he moved it anyway. And it was to a corporation that had no ties legally to
ECKANKAR. In other words it was setup as a gift from ECKANKAR to this corporation
which has no membership. And this is what we came and got back. And we couldn't
get it back at first. Well, (long pause) and I can't even touch on alot of this
stuff."

Elmo DeWhitt, Helen baird, Millie Moore, Pat [Patrica] Henderson,
and Patti Simpson-Rivinus." - Absent was Dorothy Moore.
[end quotes]
In 1983 = six x 8th Initiates
--- --- ---
In 1985 Patti Simpson-Rivinus resigned as an Employee and never did another
thing for ECKANKAR or Harold Klemp.
With the exception that until the 1990s Patti Simpson-Rivinus, did act as an
Official Initiator for Eckankar, including giving the 8th Initiation to others!
In 1997 she was a keen member of 'Omega' promoting Ram Dass and others.
Before 2000 an Official "who worked in ECKANKAR Membership Services told me
that Patti Simpson had quietly let her membership EXPIRE and was no longer
in touch. Among ECKists Patti was Pauls closest confident and co-worker,
and with the possible exception of Doug Marman, was his most ardent apologist."

In ~2005 until her death in 2011 Patti Simpson-Rivinus aligned herself with
Doug Marman's "Spiritual Dialogues Project"
http://spiritualdialogues.com/2011/07/a-post-script-parting-shot-for-patti-simpson-rivinus/
Since ~2008 Doug Marman has been privately telling other that KLEMP is no
longer the MAHANTA.
In 2011 Patti had such a solid dislike for Klemp and Skelskey and how they
had changed and were running Eckankar that she couldn't even bring herself
to use their names in private emails when referring to them.
In ~2011 Marman was reporting privately about his personal emails to and from
Klemp, regarding WHY he won't RETIRE and hand over the LEM to another ... such
as MARMAN, one could well presume.
All this material in it's original form will be made public here in good time.
