We cannot purchase God-Consciousness in a market place nor can it be granted to us by another. Our mistakes or sins of the past can not be absolved at the last minute simply by request.

You might find Saint Peter and the pearly gates, or the happy hunting grounds, or even visit the palace of Zeus or Jupiter. on the Astral Plane you find what you expect, what you hope for , or what your fear.

Reincarnation provides an explanation for various elements of our personality. Why does a young child show great musical talent when his parents have none? The reason could be that these talents were developed in a previous life and a subtle memory persists.

Hello Bro. U've been doing a nice job on this thread.
Have u heard of an Article written by one "Dr. David Lane", member of the "Radhasoami Religion". He said that Paul Twitchel, d modern day founder of Eckankar did a Plagiarism/copywork(almost totally) of his Religion( Radhasoami).
That the religion Eckankar is a scam.
Please, i do not intend to ridicule ur efforts, I'll like to know ur take on this because I want to know more.
Please you can Google up: "The making of a spiritual movement" by Dr. David Lane.
Hope to hear from you.
Thanks.

@Alcheringa
I know you asked Ben the question, so I hope you don't mind me Chipping a few. The truth is nothing Ben says will give a definite answer. Believe me there was a time I was researching every article criticizing Eckankar. It is good you are asking these questions because when you seek you'll find, but I'll add when u find u still have to make a bold step because heaven is for the bold and courageous the meek will inherit the earth. Now back to your question, if you go online everybody is claiming you copied me, my God is bigger than yours, my is the only way, etc. It's funny that most don't talk about confirming everything from the holy spirit. Because it has all answers and it will give you the level of truth required for your spiritual development, just like you can't teach physics to a nursery school child. Am just saying ask the holy spirit to tell you about ECKANKAR and get your answer from the voice of God. Don't limit God to books, that's why ECKANKAR emphasis on you having your own experience with God because 1 experience is better than a million words. Just like Paul in the Bible, he had an experience with the light and sound (the light blinded him while the sound is the voice he heard), the holy spirit. After that the rest is history. That's a good example of getting answers from the ECK (holy spirit) .
Best regards, May the blessing be.
