Keeping in mind what Twitchell said this about Eckankar and himself in 1969:
- "Eckankar means Soul Travel. It is a natural
religion that opens the consciousness to gain
God-realization."
- Often he will end up with a crowd of several hundred helping him shop.
- Paul Twitchell is a charismatic, youngish man (appears in his late 30s in 1970)
(see Paul photo circa 1969

- His mail averages 10,000 letters weekly.
- More than a million people - believe (he) is (a) living god.
(quoting)
"In 1973 when I joined Eckankar it was accepted that the LEM was GOD.
However that year, Helen Frye, Pat Henderson and Charlie Wallace (later Millie
Moore and Helen Baird) took me under their wings and mentored me to a better realization. It was, they said, "The Sound current that was the MOST important part of the students growth, not a Master or even a LEM". .. "

- He heals and answers their prayers at vast distances
That Paul Twitchell also said this in 1970 the SKS.
". . . He placed these magnificent Adepts in charge of the Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad, the Holy Book of the ECK Order. They are the guardians of these works, and upon each plane an Adept of the Order of the Vairag is in charge of a section of this Book of Golden Wisdom. A section of the book is within the temples of Golden Wisdom on each plane as designated by the SUGMAD.
"The planes and guardians are:
* The Ocean of Love and Mercy - the SUGMAD.
* The Anami Lok - the Padama Samba is the guardian of this section of the Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad. It is kept in the Temple of Golden Wisdom known as the Sata Visic Palace.
* The Agam Lok - the Adept here is the Mahaya Guru, guardian of the Holy Book at the Kazi Dawtz temple of Golden Wisdom.
* The Hukikat Lok -The Adept here is the Asanga Kaya, the guardian of the Holy Book at the Jartz Chong Temple of Wisdom.
* The Alaya Lok-the Adept here is the great Tsong Sikhsa, guardian of the Holy Book at Anakamudi Temple of Golden Wisdom.
* The Alakh Lok--the Adept here is the Sokagampo, guardian of the Holy Book at the Tamanata Kop temple of Golden Wisdom.
* The Atma Lok--the Adept here is Jagat Giri, guardian of the Holy Book at the Param Akshar temple of Golden Wisdom. This is the house of imperishable knowledge. It is the highest that soul can go, as long as It is attached to a physical body, to study at any of the Temples of Golden Wisdom.
In the worlds below the Atma plane (where the Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad is kept for those who are able to study its golden pages) are
* The Saguna Lok (etheric world). The Adept here is Lai Tsi, guardian of the Holy Book at the Dayaka Temple of Golden Wisdom in the city of Arhirit.
* The Par Brahm Lok (Mental world)--the Adept here is the Koji Chanda, guardian of the Holy Book at the Namayatan Temple of Golden Wisdom in the city of Mer Kailash.
* The Brahmanda Lok (Causal world)--the Adept here is Shamus-I-Tabriz, guardian of the Holy Book at the Sakapori Temple of Golden Wisdom in the city of Honu.
* The Anda Lok (Astral world) - the Adept here is Gopal Das, guardian of the Holy Book of the Askleposis Temple of Golden Wisdom in the city of Sahasra-Dal-Kanwal.
* The Pinda Lok (Physical world) -the Adept here is Rami Nuri, guardian of the Holy Book at the Moksha temple of Golden Wisdom in the city of Retz, Venus.
* The Prithvi Lok (Earth World)--the Adept here is Yaubl Sacabi, guardian of the Holy Book at the Gare-Hira temple of Golden Wisdom at Agam Des, the home of the Eshwar-Khanewale (the God-eaters) in the Himalayan mountains.
* The Surati Lok (Mountain world) - the Adept here is Fubbi Quantz, guardian of the Holy Book at the Katsupari Monastery Temple of Golden Wisdom in northern Tibet.
* The Asurati Lok (Desert world)--the Adept here is Banjani, guardian of the Holy Book at the Faqiti Monastery temple of Golden Wisdom in the Gobi Desert. The section here is only an introduction to the Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad. Chelas (students) are usually taken here to begin their study of the holy works in the dream state."

In 1965 and 1966 there were no initiations.
In 1968, late, there were 3 initiations.
By June 1970 there were 8 initiations.
After he died, the SKS 2 in Oct 1971 said there were 14 initiations
(with 9 given on the outer)
From 1963 until 1968 the IMSIAF book, there was no such thing as an Eck Master
From 1963 to 1969 there was no Mahanta.
When Twitchell passed away in Sept 1971, Patti and Darwin were 6th Initiates.
Patti had refused to take over as Eck master from Paul.
Darwin had only just quit his job to become an Eck missionary.
And Harold Klemp was just made a 3rd.
Millie Moore, Dorothy Moore, Helen Frye, Louis & Dorothy Bluth, Elmo Dewhitt,
Pat Evans Henderson, Vandilla Walker and Helen Baird may (?) have all been
8ths by this time. Or close.
In late 1983 the six 8ths left were:
Elmo DeWhitt, Helen Baird, Millie Moore and her sister Dorothy Moore,
Pat Henderson, and Patti Simpson Rivinus.
(quoting Patti in 2011)
"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."
