Our belief is that many Eckists, most importantly, those in leadership positions, are simply not aware of the Truth of Eckankar's past and the source for its teachings. Specifically, how pure teachings from Shabd Yoga, have been corrupted and combined with mind control techniques taken from Scientology to market Eckankar, and bring in tens of millions of dollars. It is public knowledge, and in our opinion, disgraceful that Eckankar is making huge sums of money from other people's work and not even giving them credit, let alone compensation for it. Furthermore, it is such hypocrisy, for Harold Klemp to discourage his following from litigation, when in fact Eckankar has filed numerous lawsuits, under his leadership. We suggest sincere seekers get a hold of The Path of the Masters, by Julian Johnson, to appreciate a spiritual path which is not a religion or a cult but simply a very disciplined method to liberation, which does not cost a penny.
Moral excellence is the very foundation of any true spiritual path.
Deceit, plagiarism and cover ups simply cannot co-exist in the higher regions of God. It is a travesty to think so. We cannot help feeling as though the leaders of Eckankar, past and present, have been deliberately playing on our desires of earnest spiritual liberation. Members of your organization, through their donations, support the staff, its leader and the organization in its entirety. Members have a right to know the whole Truth about Eckankar and deserve nothing less.
