Thank you for your interest in "Eckankartruth."
I'm sorry there's not much here...I've been busy, and haven't decided exactly
what I want to do with this site.
In the meantime, for more information on Eckankar than you'll get from the
official cult website or its members, please visit the following websites:

(In the "photos" section are copies of the Orion article, showing the original
names of Kirpal Singh which Twitchell later changed to his fictional "Sudar
Singh" and "Rebazar Tarz")
An interesting link, considering Paul Twitchell's pre-CultLeader Scientology
membership and plagiarism of L. Ron Hubbard:

(Aleister Crowley is also listed in a "recommended reading list" in Letters to
Gail.)
(Twitchell's plagiarism & comparisons, the documentation of some of what was
clearly & directly plagiarized from Scientology and Julian Johnson, are located
in the "Making of a Spiritual Movement" website....)
