From Paul Twitchell’s The Spiritual Notebook:
Ch. 1
Eckankar “is the mainstream for all religions, philosophies and doctrines.”
“The famous line of prophets in the Israelite tribes were trained in the work of Eckankar.”
“Practically every man who has contributed to civilization has been a chila or student of the hidden teachings of Eckankar. This is true of the sciences, literature, art, economy, religions, philosophies, the military, medicine and psychology.”
“The great prophets, those powerful figures whom we call Rama, Krishna, Hermes, Moses, Orpheus, Pythagoras, Plat and Jesus are known to have been chilas in the various mystery schools, such as the Eseenes, which are all offsprings of the ancient order of Eckankar Masters known most commonly as The Order of the Viragi Avatars.”
“The art of holy writing, which was the recording of spiritual ideas by means of certain strange hieroglyphic signs on animal skins, stone or tree bark. It was at this point that Eckankar split off from more general teachings. Instead of becoming a written dogma it continued to be transmitted through oral instruction alone….all of these sacred writings, which were the ancestors of modern religions and philosophies, sprang from the oral fountainhead known as Eckankar. Eckankar is the all embracing force, the spiritual source of everything that comprises life…It is the mainstream and closest to the pure teachings derived from the oceans of love and mercy, or God, poetically speaking…Eckankar is the only current of life. It alone carries the full conception of truth.”
“The major religions of the world have sprung out of Eckankar.”
“None of these religions, which are supposed to give us comfort and succor, are successful with everybody. This is why the divine Sugmad is divided into twelve spokes [each representing a religion]. Mainly due to our individual training in this world we have to go the route to heaven in our own manner alone the path that is best suited to us. But in the end it’s always the path of Eck.”
Of Eckankar, “it of itself, is the all embracing and universal path to God. All others are contained within its fold.”
Ch. 2
“A strange phenomenon exists however during the first two stages of the neophyte. He must pay for everything he receives, either in the form of money or some other kind of exchange.”
The Apostle Paul was a “great Ek master.”
“if I should say that, my kingdom is not of this world, I would mean that I live in that state of consciousness where everything is beauty, light, and sound.”
Ch. 3
“The Christian religion has established its heaven on the fourth, or mental plane, where most of its followers dwelt on a place called paradise after they leave this world. None of them, not even the great saints, have scarcely traveled beyond this particular abode. On closer examination the fourth place appears to be the heaven for all religions. The followers of Judaism, Islamism, Buddhism, Taoism, Baha′ism, Jainism, Shintoism, Sikhism, and Mythraism, to name but a few adopt this plane of existence after quitting their physical bodies.”
“When we go beyond the spirituo-material planes we enter into the true spiritual worlds that comprise the heart of God. Only by the use of Ek can we take the straight road to this absolute kingdom. All other practices leave us in the lower worlds.”
“Kal, the personification of negative.”
Jesus is not “able to take us into out true home with the supreme deity.”
Ch. 4
“The human race must take on its own responsibility for its [karmic] debt and work it out. This will be possible in approximately 13,000,000 years at which time the earth will come to an end in this universe.”
Ch. 5
“Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mahavira, Zoroaster and Muhammad, who are the reference points millions of people today use for spiritual guidance in their lives. But these leaders have gone out of the body now and their guiding spirits have passed into the higher places.”
Ch. 6
“The Lord’s prayer is supposedly the model of all prayers, designed for those with no other means of raising their vibrations. It is judged that Christ, however, had no intention of giving prayers of this nature to any who followed him. But the gospel writers in the centuries following his death made more out of his words than were actually ascribed to him during his ministry on earth.”
Ch. 7
“Every chila will come to a cross roads in his life…this is when the chila must either break with his traditional religious past and accept Ek as the only force of divine nature or stay at a standstill in his spiritual growth until he comes to the decision himself…man’s great problem is that he has not turned to the Ek master to receive spiritual redemption.”
Ch. 9
“All will eventually leave this world anyway because of the terrible disaster that is coming during the middle part of the twenty-first century. The earth’s structure, weakened by atomic testing, will break up into earthquakes that will sink most of this continent, much of Japan, the coast of Asia and Africa and some of Europe also.”
Ch. 10
“Christ made an unnecessary sacrifice for his people.”
“Unless a religion has a living master, one who is in the flesh and able to perform in a spiritual body also, that faith is dead…this is true of Zoroaster, Buddha, Christ and other spiritual giants. But it is not true of the living Ek masters. The living Ek master is timeless in the Atam Sarup he is the alpha and omega.”
Christianity “was created by Saint Paul, who sold the teachings of Jesus Christ to the world according to his conception of what Christianity might be…the words of the original leader [Jesus] have not been given to the world in their true light.”
Ch. 11
“Kal is, according to Christian terminology, satan or the devil. While Ek is the true essence of the Lord of all Lords. It is not the actual Godhead bur a manifestation of God. It is the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, the divine spirit which flows from the throne of the Sugmad.”
“The Kal has cunningly arranged a system leading the Yogi to believe that he has found the way while being held a prisoner by Kal. This is true not only of the Yogi but of most of the great religious and metaphysical systems that try to prove they have the ultimate way. The paths that these two lower systems offer are better than no path but Ek is the only way.”
“Sheeve Sana, a Hindu, who was a prominent leader of the Ek faith. He inspired Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. He was also responsible for such marvelous miracles as the opening of the Red Sea.”
Ch. 12
Zadok “saw the man name Jesus, talked with him on several occasions and knew his purpose in this world. He also knew their missions did not cross. Neither of them had any physical contact with each other after Jesus left the Ek group with whom he studied for some time under the great Zadok. The Ek master gave Jesus the basic fundamentals of Eckankar who used them in his own teachings. Out of his knowledge of Ek came what we know today as Christianity.”
“There is no other path than Ek. It is the original source from which all things spring and anyone who tries another path is trying to start on a lower rung.”
Ek is “the original and only path to God…He who leaves the path of Ek or, refuses to follow it, shall dwell in the astral hells until the master takes mercy upon him and brings him upon the path again.”
“The order of the Viragi is the only pure line of spiritual masters in the world,” and is 6,000,000 years old.
