"The cosmic worlds are beyond the sight of man, but they are as authentic as the ground upon which we stand on this Earth Plane." The rockets of the twentieth century have blasted man into the exciting frontiers of outer space. But what of his inner universe? Unfortunately, it remains a black hole of mystery and speculation. The lightning-fast pace of today leaves us with little time to ask: What on earth am I doing here? Our serach for love, wisdom, and freedom has so far been mostly in vain. Then, our eyes catch sight of the enchanting words, Soul Travel! Dare we hope? Soul Travel is the means the great saints have always used to find the secret kingdom of God while still in their physical bodies. Today, the worlds of God again beckon the restless and weary traveler. All he needs for this journey is a road map and a willing heart. ECKANKAR-The Key to Secret Worlds is the map, but the reader must bring his willingness and curiosity. The world is rapidly approaching the most important crossroads in its history. It is essential to take advantage of this ancient knowledge now. All aboard for the Astral, Causal, Mental, and Soul planes. The flight is now boarding. Welcome!

About the Author:

When Paul Twitchell made Eckankar known to the modern world in 1965, he separated spiritual truths from the cultural trappings which had surrounded them. Average people could begin to experience the Light and Sound of God while still living a happy, steady, and productive life.
Paul Twitchell was born in Kentucky in the early part of the twentieth century and served in the US Navy during the Second World War.
A seeker from an early age, he was introduced to a group of spiritual Masters who would change the course of his life. These were the Vairagi ECK Masters. While they trained Paul to become the Living ECK Master, he explored a wide range of spiritual traditions under different teachers. The high teachings of ECK had been scattered to the four corners of the world. Paul gathered these golden teachings of Light and Sound and made them readily available to us.
It was these God experiences he chronicled in his book, The Tiger's Fang. Paul Twitchell eventually joined the Vairagi Order and was given the task of bringing Eckankar to the world. He became the Living ECK Master.
By 1965, Paul was giving Soul Travel workshops in California and offering discourses on the teachings of Eckankar. A community of ECKists began to grow. In 1970, Eckankar was established as a nonprofit religious organization. Paul Twitchell died in 1971, but not before he initiated many into the ECK teachings.
The present-day Living ECK Master is Sri Harold Klemp. He continues to give new life to the age-old spiritual teachings of ECK. (Eckankar.org)
