The
Truth Revealed
Eckankar
With
Excerpts
from Confessions of a God Seeker
Confessions
of a God Seeker by Ford Johnson, exposes the true history of Eckankar,
its founder, Paul Twitchell, and the cover-up that followed, perpetuated
by his successors Darwin Gross and Harold Klemp. This history was unknown
to the author prior to a life-changing event in 2001-2002, which propelled
him on a search for the truth behind Eckankar and other religions, resulting
in this book. Since the publication of Confessions in 2003,
it has become abundantly clear to truth-seekers around the world, the
lengths to which Eckankar and other world religions/spiritual paths
will go to hide the truth from their members.
We
believe that a decision to continue or discontinue along a spiritual
path cannot be made without full knowledge of the truth surrounding
it. With this in mind, Chapters 6-10 of Confessions
of a God Seeker (in HTML format) have been made available at
no cost on our website (Section C.) Below, you will
also find links to the depositions and court documents from the Darwin
Gross v. Eckankar court cases, and other important source material regarding
the truth about Eckankar (Section K) which removes
any doubt about the fabrication and deception that forms the history
of that teaching.
Some
individuals have taken this information regarding Eckankar and started
their own religions modeled almost exactly after Eckankar. While these
paths are devoid of the history of deception possessed by Eckankar,
the fundamental problem of the master-student relationship remains.
Section L contains an article exposing the truth of
one such path, "The Way of Truth."
The Radhasoami/Sant
Mat section of this website contains excerpts of the chapter of
Confessions entitled "The Myth of the Master" which
further explores the problem of the master-student relationship.
The
great truth is that the "Master" is you and has always been
you. For more information about this fundamental principle, please
read
this complimentary chapter of the Higher Consciousness Discussion Series.
