Not that it matters that much, Ive only met Darwin after he turned out
to be the "bad" guy, when he visited our home for a few days, and
during a seminar in Munich. His ugliness manifested to us as a laid
back guy,humorous,open, attentive and didnt take himself too
seriously. It was both funny and interesting to discuss spiritual
topics with him.He was a good listener,gave small caps comments and
showed nothing but decent human qualitites. Darwin gave me two
advices..trust yourself..and get a Mac :) I did and benefitted from
both. wish I had bought stocks back then ...
About his teaching abilities..I think he is as good as anybody else.
At least he showed in practical ways that he cared about his students.
I never looked to him as my "master" and he was perfectly ok with it.
He became a nobody in Eckankar, obviously they had their reasons.
Hiding money,dirty business, enjoying drinking and even beautiful
women etc. , as I have read. He must have been a terrible person in
deed, almost human. He slipped off the leaf of Eckankar and lost his
previous identity in the "dark pool". Maybe that was the best thing
that could happen to him.
Its a pity some eckists still get defensive and tensed as his name is
mentioned. If what I have experienced is representative of him, he is
no threat to anybody, well perhaps to some peoples eardrums, still, so
what. He isnt hiding anywhere on the inner to dupe anybody, only as a
fearful archetype in the subconscious of those who have chosen to make
him one.And it is anybodys "right to choose" ..

That is a patently silly statement, Simon.
I do not know what Darwin is now. It is hard enough knowing myself, let
alone someone else.

Look at Phluffy Phuck Knuckle try to use a big word. Did you & Aunt B. look it
up all by your selves?
Id like to tell about a meditation I had as a neophyt on this path.
During that time I was eager to know more about the unconscious part
of my mind and how it possibly interlinked with an inner master, a
"mahanta" should you prefer that word. RT was my entrancepoint into E
in the first place, so addressing mind along that route, the image of
him, less Reynolds lookalike, emerged on the inner screen. I was shown
a triangle or pyramid that presented this part of the mind. There were
many images within the pyramid; an infant, a young boy,a pretty woman
( enjoyed that look ) and several other figures, not all of them a
pretty sight. On top, but inside the pyramid, a circle was.
The circle caught my attention, and watching it, it started to move
very quickly, almost like a water wheel distributing light to the
whole pyramid.Needless to say it was tremendously captivating. My
understanding was that this wheel nurtured those other images. Then
an image, soon another one, inside the circle emerged. Those were
various images of masters of the path. All of the images were pushed
to the circumference of that wheel and were thrown out the same way as
the initial light and disappeared. Soon after, only the light
remained inside the circle and it got stronger, pushing out to my
head, making it glow like a lightbulb. Oh yes, there was an emotional
reaction to it, tears were pouring out, however a wonderful silence
settled. To this day, this silence settled as my qualia on the
principle of the inner master. Interpreatate it as you like. IT is
as good and irrational as anybody elses. Care to share your take on it
as well ?
So, when you ask,is Darwin or any other person this presence .. The
answer would be no. I dont think anybody "is" a mahanta. Would Darwin
or any other person be useful as to mirror authenticity to a student
along a similar route ? Yes. If that makes him an ek-master, he is an
ek-master.
Why not seek him up in person and ask directly ? As far as I now he
still lives in Oak Grove, OR. Maybe you would find it interesting..

It's all good.
The bottom-line selling point of Eckankar has always been: "Eckankar
works."
This fail-safe is always trotted out when talk turns to Paul's
plagiarism, lies, incredible prophecies that never came true, threats
of Eck Master literature, Rebezar Tarzs, and everything else in the
wild bin of Eckankar. "Eckakar works" they say. "I just know it
does. I have Knowingness of Soul."
But how can Eckankar "work" when the last Mahanta Living Eck Master,
for whatever reason, loses all his Eckankar initiations? That's just
what happened to Darwin Gross.
How can Eckankar be said to really "work" in the longterm, in a
meaningful, lasting way, when Darwin Gross, the guy who was The
Eckankar Success Story, loses ALL his Eckankar Initiations and even
gets kicked out of Eckankar?
How can anyone have any real faith that Eckankar "works" for them,
when they KNOW that, for whatever reason, the last guy to get Eckankar
Mastership lost it all in just a few years?
Darwin fell from Eckankar, it's a fact, so really, all we KNOW about
Eckankar is that
Eckankar DOESN'T really work.
And not only did Eckankar not work for the higher exponent and Master
of Eckankar. Hundreds of Higher Initiates of Eckankar have left the
Eck path. These folks were, according to Eckankar, self-realized Soul
Plane attainees who had really made it past the realms of mind and
matter. Yet they left Eckankar! Why would they leave?
If any Eckankar Higher Initiate leaves Eckankar -- for WHATEVER reason
-- what does that say about Eckankar "working"?
And again, the guy who according to Eckankar really really really made
it spiritually -- Sri Darwin Gross -- he left Eckankar too! Lost all
his initiations. Said "Eckankar treated me like shit." Has no
picture on Eck center walls.
You have to wonder why any Eckist still feels that "Eckankar works."
Are they just very naive? Have they shut themselves off so completely
from the history of Eckankar that they are in denial?
It seems clear that Eckankar is just another "stepping stone" in life,
like High School or aerobics. But it's even more clear that Eckankar
is not the highest path to God or any of the other grand claims made
in Eckankar literature. Darwin Gross is the proof of that.
I'm sure there will be Eckists out there who have no trouble at all
picking apart Darwin, the former 14th initiate. I'm betting these
will be the same Eckists who never dare to offer any criticism of Sri
Harold Klemp.

If an eckist follows Darwin for 10 years loyally and eckankar works for
them, then Darwin and Eckankar work. If Darwin then gets demoted, stripped
of initiations and cast out, then the order to burn his books is given - did
Darwin and eckankar really work for 10 years or did I just pretend that it
did and now that I've turned my back on my spiritual master, my dream
master, my inner initiator - now it's working? All the love and light and
life I enjoyed so much for that 10 years wasn't real? It seemed real to
me - but why are all those eckists glaring at me when I talk about it?
So, lets get this straight please. Darwin - a human who embodied the
Mahanta consciousness, who led eckankar from it's originator, Paul to it's
Terminator, Harry decided that he'd rather be an egotistical, money grubbing
xylophone player on tour than to manifest any desire he ever had through
spirit, tuzashottoma energy and the most powerful consciousness revealed to
humans besides (perhaps) the silent ones?
This fallen angel passed the Rod of Power to Harry. If he is so fallen then
the uniterrupted line of Living eck masters just got interrupted didn't it.
Was he fallen before he passed the rod on? If so, you follow a super
delusional kook. Or, if Darji's falling occur before the Rod was passed,
then you may follow the dreaded Black Magician.
The problem is belief is reality. If Harry introduced his dog at the next
World Wide and told you he passed the Rod on to Scruffy - some of you would
follow Scruffy because you believed that Harry a) could do this and b) did
do it.
Darwin is a glaring glitch in the eckankar logic.
Skardicus
Now as to your affiliation with one who blames the path for the failing
of an individual? Well.. I'll leave that up to you to figure out. You'll
find the exact details right next to the data on Jesus' missing years.
<wink>
So youj're telling us here that Darwin was the only master you had
experiences with? You didn't meet Harji in the inner worlds at all?
Odd.... Okay, so what about other Masters then? Cause a great many
people saw what was happening long before it all hit the fan.

You do realize of course that there's a human element involved here? How
much do you know about Darwin and his story anyway? Because I noticed
that you're talking about logic here but you've factored out the human
being involved in this whole drama. Is there some magical thinking
available that cleanses this whole story from the dirty details of one
who beings to take a header down that slippery slope? Did you miss
Paul's messages about this very thing happening? Or his messages to
those who thought they should be the next LEM? Where were you all that
time?

Check the time line here. Paul stated clearly that the next LEM would be
temporary. And he stated that the one following would take the rod of
power. (Illuminated Way Letters Jan '71, pg 230) He made that very
clear, but it's been whitewashed for a long time. <sigh> Now.... check
and see where Darwins' end of LEM and the passing of the rod of power to
Harold shows us any true break in the teachings or between these two
men? It wasn't until after Darwin stepped aside, that the majority of
the problems began. Why? I couldn't venture to answer for either of
these men, but take a look in human nature... what happens when people
have to relinquish power. It's a gut wrenching test of Soul. And here we
are today. <smile>

Wow... that's just rude and ugly. <sigh> Is that what logic looks like
in your new little world? <shudder>
> Darwin is a glaring glitch in the eckankar logic.
Only if you need him to be. It's your rhetoric... but that doesn't mean
it's about what truly happened. Enjoy the wonderful world of opinionated
gossips! Just keep in mind that you do't get brownie points on this
group for regurgitating dogma. Sharon has a role of foil stars that
might interest you though.
Did the last LEM really transcend mind and matter to become a "master"
of the eck force? If he did, how did he lose everything to fall from
grace?
What did Darwin Gross actually do to make Harold remove ALL of
Darwin's initiations? What did Darwin do, exactly, that other Eckists
did not do? Did he have a bad attitude? About what, or about who,
exactly? What was "bad" about Darwin's attitude?
Did Darwin steal money from Eckankar? Let's say for the sake of
argument that he did. Why would that action cause Darwin to lose ALL
his Eck initiations? Does money have something to do with keeping in
contact with the Eck force?
Was Darwin acting out sexually with women, and was that the cause of
his losing ALL his initiations? Someone here just wrote that, in
Eckankar, "there is nothing wrong with sex." So that can't be the
reason Darwin lost all his eck initiations, can it?
Did Darwin not show "respect" to Harold? That's what Harold's letter
says. Was this demonstrable lack of respect to Harold the chief
reason Darwin had ALL his initiations removed by Harold? Is not
showing "respect" to Harold somehow linked to keeping all one's
spiritual initiations to God?
There are all pertinent questions to ask, all in tandem with the chief
question every Eckist should ask about Eckankar:
If the last Mahanta Living Eck Master lost ALL his Eck initiations,
can anyone say that Eckankar really works?
What good is getting Master status in Eckankar if your successor takes
it, and ALL your initiations, away from you?

Freedom from the bonds of the lower worlds, mind and matter, karma,
rebirth -- getting to the Soul plane beyond duality, and beyond that
ultimately to MASTER status in Eckankar -- this is the fundamental
purpose of Eckankar. Real Mastery and security beyond the beguiling
attractions and traps of mind and matter.
Yet,
The last Living Eck Master DID fall from grace, to lose ALL his Eck
initiations.
Darwin's fall shows us that Eckankar, in the long term, just doesn't
work.

Not true scardi, you are the glaring glitch in the logic dept. Logic is
logic. There isn't an eckankar variation you know.
For a start you missed the import of my comments and have rattled off a post
that is basically silly and illogical.
Have a another go mate. Maybe read my comments again to see what I was
saying. Look for the word "premise" btw.
Also let's a have a go at overcoming the girly exaggerations. For a start,
no one has or will front up with a dog. DOH!
Without going thru every falsely based assumption you seem to have lept to,
from my experience with people over the years, when Darwin was in the death
throes, many folks ALREADY felt that a) eckankar was working for them and b)
that darwin wasn't working for them. Later when Darwin was removed and
people publically notified, it came as no surprise to some. Sort of shoots
your first line premise down in flames.
Contrary to your generally expressed feelings about the intelligence level,
awareness and resourcefulness of ECKists past and present, quite a lot of
people knew something was going on there before any public info was released
about darwin's falling from grace.
AS is so common here on a.r.e., you basically do not know, but that does not
stop you from projecting the ideas you come up with onto others, when
actually there is a far greater variation and possibilities than you have
imagined.
That Darwin did what he did, and that Harold and the Board did what they
did, is simply not an issue for me. Why? Because it all makes perfect sense,
at least to me, given the circumstances as it was then.
Now, please don't forget that if anyone here disagrees and draws other
conclusions, well you are welcome. I am not bothered by that at all.
Obviously it's a problem for you, otherwise you wouldn't be here so many
years after the event. ;-))

Hi Joe,
It was a reflective analogy in logic. Not a perfect one, but one offered as
a tool to assist your thinking processes regarding the argument you were
making which is logically flawed imho.
So ok, I'll take another approach.
Let's say person A joins and does not do the practices or read the
discourses as recommended and does not find success. Person B joins does do
the practices and doesn't find success. and person C joins and does the
practices and does find success.
During this time, Darwin leaves the teaching. What has darwin got to do with
the ECKists, some who found success with the teachings and some who didn't?

The fundamental purpose of ECKANKAR, is to present the teachings of ECK to
the public. What people do with that is a personal choice and journey.

Not so. Again your facts/assumptions are inaccurate. Darwin was an ECK
master on a slippery slope at the time, not the Living ECK master who was in
fact Sri Harold.

Not so, Darwins fall shows us that that Darwin didn't work it out. What
happened to darwin, what happened to you, what happened to skardicus, what
happened to Lurk has absolutely nothing to do with me or the ECK teachings,
and everything to do with you and your own choices.
But I don't expect you to see that or accept it. Which is fine by me.
btw does accupunture work? If it does, and Leaf seems to think it does, why
doesn't everyone in the USA go to an accupuncturist instead of a MD?
Think logically if you can in answering the questions above for yourself. If
I joined up as a Buddhist and left 10 years later, does that mean the Dalai
Lama is a fake and the teachings are crap? ;-))

Truth be known, your personal inability to trust both people and life in
general is the real issue and not the good/bad/indifferent of religion.
Seeking out the flaws in other people and religion feeds your need to be
right and to justify your choice of not being able to trust. Which is
understandable and not uncommon.
The first thing to break this little muhdra is relearning to trust yourself
Skardi DESPITE the obvious mistakes/innappropriate choices of the past and
the obvious and serious flaws in the world and people around you/us. imho.
At least that appoach worked for me, and I have seen it work in others too.
We always have a choice, to be cause or to be effect. Simply looking for and
judging a religion you can trust is being effect. [not that you are looking,
i understand you have no interest there]
Cheers Sean
Easy it goes like this ...... The teachings of Eckankar really work in the
longterm, but it's up to you to discover how to apply them in your own life.

Poor choices, and probably a dose of Vanity.

Only waffle and spin Joe. You do not want to hear reasonabl;e answers. Been
there and done that.

Darwin was not the Mahanta, and had already relinguished his title of the
Living ECK master 2 years before he left. Your information is not accurate.
bte Eckankar rreally works.

I see you don't have a good grasp of the teachings and the initiations.
That's ok, that's probably why you left in the first place? Did you expect
to reach master status yourself joe? ;-))

I wonder if Skardi realises that not all french people live in France all
their lives?
But I love it when I see my children are self-confident, even when they are
wrong.
smile
ru serious skardi?
Do you really believe that?
If what you say is true, then if for example Scientology never ever existed,
that all those people who have been scientoligists and who have had bad
expereinces with them would have lived their lives and NOT gone thru the
same experiences in some other context where they were still abused, got
into litigation, or were harrassed/threatened on the phone.
Is this how you think it all works? Remove the bad guys and all the victims
live a life of bliss or something?
I'm unsure of your thinking here, and how you see your statement above
extrapolating into the real world over time, which is why i am asking these
questions. I f i am wrong in my example by all means explain it to me.

There is no ONLY skardi. Comments like "it must only be this or that" limits
life, or rather our perception of it. But if one's awareness of the
possibilities is limited then it follows that one's life and view of life is
also limited to the same degree.
That's why Paul used terms like the expansion of consciousness. If the
picture of Eckankar, of the world, that one saw when they joined is fuller
larger more accurate more real when they leave, then it follows that the
teaching has worked to some degree doesn't it?
If Sharon left Eckankar with a passion to serve others significantly greater
than how she lived her life B.E. has not the experience of the teaching
worked to some degree?
Sometimes we can find perfection even in the imperfections. It depends what
you are looking for I think.
btw if you were to go downstairs and get your wrench, then remove your SUV
sterring wheel, then you could say my car only goes forwards and backwards.
You've mislaid your sterring wheel mate. ;-)

Apparently not! LOL..... guess he found the right group to hang out
with... ;-)

Hey! It works for me most days. LOL......
LOL.... beautiful! Just beautiful!
Thanks glad you enjoyed. It took me ages to do, but the last bit just fell
into place out of the blue. ;-))
Elementary my dear cher, it's elementary!
Sherlockius :)
That's the best kind. Not much in the way of spontaneity around here
lately.
Cool! You even know the correct form! <smiling>
I'm not dilly!! :)
