	Eckankar & Scientology - Pop Occulture Blog
		The official website of Eckankar has a biography of Twitchell in which it readily admits that he was “quite a rascal.” They suggest that he underwent all kinds of experiences in order to become fit as a spiritual master.
		I’m not saying I support Eckankar, I have issues with it just from seeing what I had in person, but overall it’s members genuinely seem educated in metaphysics and perform their own trance and meditation works, and generally lead a happy and peaceful life.
		Eckankar is actually more of a plagiarization of a modern, Indian gnostic movement called Radhasoami or Sant Mat, which I’ve been intrigued by and reading about for the past four years or so.

	Why Ex-Eckists Left Eckankar
		More often than not, when an Eckist is vigorously challenged about Eckankar tenets they can't defend on a purely philosophical level, they retreat into their closed fantasy-prone system which, by it's very nature, deadens and denies the spirit of open intellectual inquiry among people.
		Eckists have said that detractors (critics of Eckankar) are people who quit Eckankar because it didn't work for them, or because they failed at the path, and thus can't be taken seriously.
		Eckankar did work for me, mainly because its spiritual exercises, like using the mantra OM or HU and focusing on the third eye, are legitimate and used by similar religions that predate Eckankar.

		With Eckankar websites proliferating all over the Internet, it's necessary to present an opposing viewpoint to balance out their slick, professional presentations.

		Eckankar, while having some redeeming qualities, is based on lies and built using distorting information from other spiritual paths.
