The valley of the gods of deceit.
Wickedness borne out of a sincere desire to communicate your love for God, to God , with God remains wickedness as far as I can see. For you did not temper the expectations of the eagerly waiting chicks. You opened up a door wide for them but did not warn them that you were seeking and knew not all the answers. You created a new religion and made up the path and as you trudged along, you dragged the hapless chicks who in their peculiar ability to delude themselves saw themselves as having arrived at the point where the almighty waited to take them home. Never mind that they lacked charity, works of love and compassion, they even lacked faith which explained their lack of fervour in everything up to the time they were led to you by their conceit.
Mistaking their weakness for strength, they saw their lazy empty lives as an exalted state of detached spirituality - a signal of spiritual exaltation and on this premise, their minds drove them relentlessly to the valley of the gods of deceit. They mistook their weakness for strength.
You have suffered enough. You have learnt things which in the end are meaningless. Don't die in this delusion.
Find your way back to the cross of Calvary. His yoke is easy. His burden light.

From: DIDISCOTTIE To: Little known Author Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 11:57 AM Subject: EXCELLENT Yours is a labour of love. Still the revelations concerning the innards of Eckankar are vital to me. Having discovered Eckankar in 1978, and abandoned it in 1987, my attempts to reunite with its teachings started with an innocuous search (in one of the more popular search engines) for "dialogues with the master". Believe me the last one week have been devastating to me (since I discovered that) Peddar Zasq was not the man I thought he was. Darwin Gross not the monster he was painted to be and Wah Zi not the saint Gail not the angelic wife of the gods. Jesus not the drab second inititiate. Maybe our Chakras are meant to be explored hereafter. Not in this here world! I beat a fast retreat to the one who loved me before I was formed. I know I am in good hands. God be with you. David Lane had his points - not all were rebutted by you but it shows that the ignorance of Eckists is at least as monumental as that of the rest of us. God be with you. Goodbye DIDISCOTTIE |

Subject: EXCELLENT Dear Friend, Thanks once again. Your work has created a balance for me and reinforced the need to hear both sides of every issue. David Lane's work was the outward leg of a journey. Yours the return leg. I'm back to where I was. I'm laughing because in my continuing search I picked up a book from my shelf as I rushed to work this morning and on the first page was the quotation by T.S Eliot: "We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time" There are no short cuts it seems. But I understand the message of Eckankar far more now than before. I understand that 'violence' is required in 'appropriating' the Kingdom of God to ourselves. I think your perception was right. Even I detected a faltering in David Lanes steps when he tried to completely rule out the validity of Eck experiences. That was going too far. Still as you noted he appeared to be trying to save Eckankar. David Lane is a good and brave man so are you. My feelings to Paul Twitchell shook a little, but in the end (even before I read your book) I could smile at his audacity and even admire him much. My concluding thought is this: Eckankar is a vehicle. Not a path. That statement in itself is conceited. Nothing is absolute and even if things could be, God appears to be the final arbiter - the Potter. The great Enabler. Thus I should say: Eckankar appears to be more of a Vehicle to God than a path. You need the vehicle. You need the path. Sometimes the path becomes the vehicle and the vehicle the path. Sometimes there is a vehicle but no path and the vehicle gets stuck trying to create a path. Sometimes the vehicle is able to create a path. In the end we should just love God. He will understand. I appreciate your taking time to reply. Didiscottie |

Dear Friends, I must tell you. I think Eckankar is by and large a fabrication. Is this fabrication the will of God? I cannot pretend to know but the sheer volume of lies embedded within its realm is astonishing. Furthermore, images of god-men slaving away at celestial libraries far above the orbiting satellites for my sake is way too much for me. God is within us. I have nothing more to say on this issue.
