Robert. Many of your suggestions here, like Eckists to voice loud defense, for example, are strong exaggerations. A small few may, but most are as you indicated, good folk. I feel for you and your demon experience at initiation, which sounds real. However, that surely is not the norm of members of Eckankar. Did you know that Bob is the most used name of serial killers in Florida? Would anyone believe all Bob's are serial killers, or have us believe that Bob who lives outside Florida is a serial too. This is the same false comprehension that is made about Eckankar, mostly by appealing to fear. What entity or person would work from that viewpoint? Think about it. What's wrong with daily contemplation? People do it naturally enough. No one has to do it every day in ECK, although it is advised as wise, that's all. It is a great thing, in my experience at least, it aids self-discipline and fundamental spiritual acceptance. And what's in a name. Probably quite a bit, but its' not everything. Jesus is a name, Mahanta is a name or word too. If you think this person writing is an agent of the beast or Kal (devil), come on, get real. Yes, there are levels of Eckists, and in all religions. There are many mansions (as Jesus said), and levels of heaven. Man is Soul, a spiritual being, and animals are Soul too, anyone can see they have a spirit in them, and all evolve spiritually as do we all. That is what is going on. Your echo of truth is greatly misleading. Example - Simha is not worshipped, nor hardly much mentioned. It is odd you point to such points at all. I am one who would say and to ask; cease and desist. Whyfore doest thou complain so? It's clear, this is your karma, not ours. ECK is for some, clearly not for you. To the others, I say, there may be a great good in ECK. For many it has been.
