Sehr empfehlenswert. Aufrichtige Kritik an Eckankar, aber zugleich auch sehr konstruktiv in Bezug auf spirituelle Inhalte. Buch ist ähnlich wie die "Bekenntnisse" des Kirchenvaters Augustinus, der mal Manichäer war und dann zum Christentum fand - nur war der Autor nicht Christ, sondern bei Eckankar und fand, wie er es nennt, dort heraus, indem er die "Wahrheit" fand.

There is more to the story
5. August 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
One thing that seemed to lend credence to Ford's book was Gail Twitchell's alleged story (see pg 226). Doug Marman has recently released a book entitled "The Whole Truth." It appears (at present) it's not available here, but simply google: Doug Marman The Whole Truth. Gail left a comment on the spiritualdialogues(dotcom) website about Doug's book. I asked Doug if he was certain that it was indeed Gail Twitchell who had posted the message (she now has a different last name), and he told me more of the story. It was indeed the real Gail Twitchell. It also turns out that the so-called "Tuzahu" in Ford's book (and internet fame) had fabricated his story. I'm not saying that Paul was a "saint," by any stretch, but I am saying that there is _far_ more to the story than Ford and others allow for. I personally believe that things like this P.T. controversy are part and parcel of the test of Soul. There are subtleties in the school of Life that are beyond the scope of Ford's and David's observations. Those who have read Ford's and David's books owe it to themselves to also read Doug's book. (At least visit the website and give it a look.) And, BTW, this is a totally unsolicited comment...

I share Fords pain
13. August 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Mr. Ford Johnson was one of the best speakers at Eckankar seminars for many years. I heard him many times and wondered at how he spoke from the heart, rarely even looking at notes. But he was hurt, deeply, when who he thought was a Master was not recognized by Eckankar. I sympathize. I read with an open mind. There are some really good points in the text, and great mental gymnastics from a great lawyer used to argument to get a point across--but he is promoting another Master and starting his own 'movement'. Keep that in mind. He was sincere in his beliefs, as most are in theirs. But to write as if all his personal beliefs are TRUTH is argument for the sake of trying to prove his innocence of whatever he feels has upset him so within. The anger sparks and flames the truths here that could help seekers as they wade through their own mental qualms about ANY Spiritual path. But I prefer the undercoating of words to be TRUTH. I feel a book as much as read the words. The underlying anger gave me a stomachache! Ford, please, get over the anger and pain and just move on. We ALL have. No Eckists I know feel anything but empathy for Ford, and understanding. With such a GIFT for speaking and writing, you could have written a gem--instead it is a sugarcoated rake of anger. With a few gems strewn in among the rants. I was disappointed.

In a Nutshell
12. August 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I gave this book 2 stars only because I recognize most of the spiritual wisdom it contains was gleaned from the Eckankar teachings. Eckankar: The Key to Secret Worlds & Truth Has No Secrets Thus, those not familiar with the spiritual basis of Eckankar may find Ford's more intellectually minded approach as a helpful step in their personal spiritual growth.
The genesis of the context of this book as I saw it occur, was Johnson's mistaken belief that Graham Forsyth should be accepted as the new spiritual leader and be given the "responsibilities of taking over" Eckankar.
Activities concerning that resulted in his being told to stand aside from Eckankar duties for six months. That discipline(not his first) seems to have resulted in his loss of neutrality, a quest to "overturn every rock" regarding Eckankar, and thus leave Eckankar. Mistakenly, under the 'rock' he mostly embraced was an expose' created by college student David Lane's The Making of a Spiritual Movement: The Untold Story of Paul Twitchell and Eckankar which has subsequently been thoroughly debunked in a new book - The Whole Truth by Doug Marman.(Google it)
What I disliked about this book was that being a high powered attorney, Johnson has done a masterly job of constructing "Confessions" based on biased research, logical fallacies, misleading and false information. With the less informed he wins the case. Given a jury of his peers, the case of the attacks presented in this book would be thrown out of court.
Tellingly, Graham who was the start it all, "was not prepared to make any concessions" that Ford required for his newly incorporated organization, and they parted ways.
Never the less, Ford continued on, initially building his "spiritual education organization" on attacking the spiritual messengers and organizations, censoring critics on his web sites presenting contrary facts, and selling yearly subscriptions to his publications.
In the book Johnson's stratagems to revamp your spiritual paradigms may very well propel you out of your current belief system. That could be exactly what you need.
Eckankar differs in that it is less focused on mental conceptions and more on an experiential path using The Spiritual Exercises of Eck and direct personal experience with Past Lives, Dreams, and Soul Travel
In a nutshell, the book launched yet another business for Johnson. The last sentence in the book reads, "The greatest support each of us can now give is to place this book in the hands of others or tell them about it, so they can begin the journey to higher consciousness(Higher Consciousness Society being the name of his business organization) - the journey to the heart of truth."
I found so much untruth in the book that I would not recommend it to anyone.
