	A short biography of Paul Twitchell
		Paul Twitchell was an American journalist and novelist who explored a variety of religious traditions during the nineteen-forties and fifties.
		Paul writes that he lay down to rest, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the visionary experience he described in the book began.
		One aspect of Paul Twitchell's Eckankar that appealed to Western disciples was the promise that if a disciple followed the path of Eckankar during life, he or she would never need to reincarnate in a physical body again.

	ECKANKAR
		Details of Twitchell's life are obscure: his date of birth has been listed variously as 1908, 1912 and 1922.
		Paul Twitchell apparently gained additional knowledge from Kirpal Singh, an Eastern Guru, founder of the Ruhani Satsang movement.
		After Paul Twitchell's death in 1971, Darwin Gross, the 972nd Eck Master became the Mahanta of Eckankar.

		The "proof" of Twitchell's birth in 1922 was found on his first marriage certificate, which is believed to have been written to convince his young wife (Gail) that he was not so many years older than herself (12).
		Twitchell had begun inventing his own past, as one can conclude from the fact that Steiger's biography only rarely agrees with official information from the government or Twitchell's family (Enroth 60).
		According to Twitchell, Eckankar did not officially begin until October 22, 1965; this is when the "Rod of Power" was passed by Rebazar Tarz to Paul Twitchell, appointing him the "971st Living Eck Master", or the "Mahanta" (Enroth 62).

	Eckankar Summary
		Twitchell attributed the evolution of his personal philosophy into a public spiritual path to his second wife, Gail Atkinson (whom he married in 1964 when he was fifty-four years old and she was twenty-one), saying, "The switchover from the Cliff Hanger to Eck began taking place after I met my present wife, Gail.
		Twitchell's widow, Gail Atkinson (his first wife, Camille Ballowe, whom he married in 1942, divorced him on the legal grounds of desertion in 1960), claimed to have had a dream in which her husband appointed Darwin Gross to be his spiritual successor and the leader of Eckankar.
		Paul Twitchell stated that he had put Eckankar together from the scattered bits and pieces of other teachings, but it is fair to say that neither he nor any of his successors have ever publicly stated that he plagiarized the works of other authors.

	Paul's Birth Date
		However, in the files at the library of Paul's hometown is a genealogy of the Twitchell family that was donated to the Paducah Public Library on September 1996 by a Dean McMakin.
		Paul's father, Jake, and his new wife petitioned the court to adopt two of her daughters.
		And if Effie had indeed known that Paul was a previous product of Jake's infidelity, and now Jake had impregnated another women while she was dying, it is easy to image her hatred of Paul, as Paul reports.

		As a result of variant accounts from friends, family and admirers as well as from what seems to be Twitchell's deliberate attempt to obscure the details of his personal life, details of Paul Twitchell's life prove to be a mystery to Eckankar followers and scholars alike.
		In 1942, Twitchell enlisted in the navy and married Camille Ballowe.
		In 1971 Paul Twitchell died and was succeeded by Darwin Gross, the 972

	Appendix 2
		Paul Twitchell was highly influenced by L. Ron Hubbard and his religion Scientology.
		"Paul Twitchell was a writer hired by L. Ron Hubbard to be in charge of selecting articles on Scientology submitted by parishioners to be published in either Scientology publications or elsewhere as a testimony to the worth of Scientology.
		The implication is that Twitchell invented the axioms.

	David Lane vs Darwin Gross
		Not only did Twitchell receive initiation from Kirpal Singh in 1955 (the initiation papers, by the way, are personally signed by Twitchell), but his wife (and yours) Gail also received initiation in 1963 (her signature is also on record).
		Twitchell himself has stated in print in at least twenty different places that Kirpal Singh was his guru, the master who taught him shabd yoga.
		Twitchell didn't just plagiarize from Johnson; he plagiarized from a variety of sources; it just happens that Johnson was his favorite author to crib from.

	Eckankar Spiritual Leader Claims Title Of “Son of God”
		To explain Twitchell’s unparalleled plagiarism, for example, Klemp rationalized that Twitchell had copied the thousands of stolen and plagiarized passages from an astral library that he visited during his dreams.
		But fear through the use of “curses” is the most powerful of these techniques and Twitchell and his predecessors used and continue to use it to great effect, entrapping their followers and harming thousands of seekers who believed and trusted them.
		Ironically, even Paul Twitchell, the founder of Eckankar, seemed to realize that a teaching based on lies will eventually fall by the weight of its own deception when exposed to the light of truth.

		Twitchell is actually Westernizing the teachings of Radasoami Satsang and making himself the Living Master (mahanta).
		Since Twitchell was not given the leadership role (or even close to it) by his former Master Kirpal Singh (not Sudar) he decided to make himself the Master of all Masters.
		Twitchell accomplished this by creating a lineage of (Eck) Masters and had one of these (Rebazar Tarzs) initiate him as Mahanta (a title Twitchell created).

		Next, we notice that Paul's date of birth is wrong, since we have now established that Paul was born in 1909, not 1908 as some of Paul's relatives had recorded in their family bibles.
		Of course, we shouldn't forget that in fact Paul's father was the source of the 1912 birthdate, since that was the date that Paul's father recorded as Paul's birthdate in the delayed birth certificate he filed less than one year before Paul's marriage.
		Paul's brother, Clyde, who was two years older than Paul was probably going through college when Paul graduated high school.

		Paul Twitchell was a self-made American prophet who gave the world Eckankar, a spiritual movement currently under the leadership of a former Lutheran minister named Harold Klemp.
		Twitchell died only five years after Eckankar’s creation, but his spiritual and literary legacy is still hotly contested by many, not uncommonly in court.
		The scholar who has most comprehensively examined Paul Twitchell’s career is Dr. David Lane (not to be confused with the Australian singer-songwriter or the racist guy in jail).

	Chapter One
		Paul's widow, Gail, who was the informant on his death certificate lists his age as 48 and his birth date as October 22, 1922.
		If Paul Twitchell's wife, biographer, and a key reporter all have the same birth date, then I don't think it is a stretch of incredulity to surmise that Paul himself was the source.
		Paul has always struck me as a man perfectly at ease with creating who he was, and not at all dependent upon social acceptance or established norms.

	Eckankar - ReligionFacts
		Twitchell believed that Sound Current yoga had existed since antiquity and that his knowledge and his teaching authority stemmed not from Kirpal Singh (who visited the United States in 1955 and 1964) but from an ancient lineage of ECK masters of which he was the 971st.
		Twitchell also rejected the Sant Mat ideal of ultimate oneness with the Divine, suggesting that the goal of life is to become a "coworker" with God.
		When Twitchell died in 1971, he was succeeded by Darwin Gross, who in 1981 passed his authority to Harold Klemp.
