- Out-of-body travel is DANGEROUS without the PROTECTION of a Perfect Living
- Master as described in the following article:
-
-
- THE DIVINE MASTERS
-
- Most Christians would agree, and correctly so, that
- Jesus Christ was a perfect living Master, and a projection of
- God into the physical world, God Incarnate.
-
- But there are some very important related facts that
- Christians are COMPLETELY IGNORANT of, as are followers of
- most other world religions.
-
- First, Jesus Christ was NOT unique, John 3:16 NOTWITH-
- STANDING. There is ALWAYS at least one such perfect living
- Master (God Incarnate) PHYSICALLY ALIVE in this world AT ALL
- TIMES, a continuous succession THROUGHOUT HISTORY, both
- before and after the life of Jesus.
-
- The followers of some of these Masters founded the
- world's major religions, usually PERVERTING the teachings of
- their Master in the process. Christians, for example, added
- THREATS of "ETERNAL DAMNATION" in Hell, and DELETED the
- teaching of REincarnation.
-
- Secondly, and more importantly, after a particular
- Master physically dies and leaves this world, there is
- NOTHING that He can do for ANYbody except for the relatively
- few people that He INITIATED while He was still physically
- alive. (That is simply the way God set things up in the
- Universes.)
-
- Therefore, all those Christians who worship Jesus, and
- pray to Jesus, and expect Jesus to return and save them from
- their sins, are only KIDDING THEMSELVES, and have allowed
- themselves to be DUPED by a religion that was mostly
- MANUFACTURED by the Romans.
-
- And emotional "feelings" are a TOTALLY DECEIVING
- indicator for religious validity.
-
- These things are similarly true for followers of most
- other major world religions, including Islam.
-
- Thirdly, the primary function of each Master is to tune
- His Initiates into the "AUDIBLE LIFE STREAM" or "SOUND
- CURRENT", (referred to as "THE WORD" in John 1:1-5, and as
- "The River of Life" in Revelation 22:1), and to personally
- guide each of them thru the upper levels of Heaven while they
- are still connected to their living physical bodies by a
- "silver cord".
-
- True Salvation, which completes a Soul's cycles of
- REincarnation in the physical and psychic planes, is achieved
- only by reaching at least the "SOUL PLANE", which is five
- levels or universes above the physical universe, and this
- canNOT be done without the help of a Perfect LIVING Master.
-
- One such perfect Master alive today is an American, Sri
- Harold Klemp, the Living "Eck" Master or "Mahanta" for the
- "Eckankar" organization, now headquartered in Minneapolis,
- (P.O. Box 27300; zip 55427).
-
- Another perfect living Master is Maharaj Gurinder Singh
- Ji, now living in Punjab, India, and is associated with the
- "Sant Mat" organization.
-
- One of the classic books on this subject is "THE PATH OF
- THE MASTERS" (Radha Soami Books, P.O. Box 242, Gardena, CA
- 90247), written in 1939 by Dr. Julian Johnson, a theologian
- and surgeon who spent the last years of his life in India
- studying under and closely observing the Sant Mat Master of
- that time, Maharaj Sawan Singh Ji.
-
- Several of the Eckankar books, including some authored
- by Sri Paul Twitchell or Sri Harold Klemp, can be found in
- most public and university libraries and some book stores, or
- obtained thru inter-library loan. The book "ECKANKAR--THE
- KEY TO SECRET WORLDS", by Sri Paul Twitchell, is ANOTHER
- classic.
-
- Many Christians are likely to confuse the Masters with
- the "Anti-Christ", which is or was to be a temporary world
- dictator during the so-called "last days". But the Masters
- don't ever rule, even when asked or expected to do so as
- Jesus was.
-
- People who continue following Christianity, Islam, or
- other orthodox religions with a physically DEAD Master, will
- CONTINUE on their cycles of REincarnation, between the
- psychic planes and this MISERABLE physical world, until they
- finally WISE UP!
-
-
-
- RE-INCARNATION
-
- The book "HERE AND HEREAFTER", by Ruth Montgomery,
- describes several kinds of evidence supporting REincarnation
- as a FACT OF LIFE, including HYPNOTIC REGRESSIONS to past
- lives, SPONTANEOUS RECALL (especially by young children, some
- of whom can identify their most recent previous relatives,
- homes, possessions, etc.), DREAM RECALL of past life experi-
- ences, DEJA VU (familiarity with a far off land while travel-
- ing there for the first time on vacation), the psychic read-
- ings of the late EDGAR CAYCE, and EVEN SUPPORTING STATEMENTS
- FROM THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE including Matthew 17:11-13 (John the
- Baptist was the REINCARNATION of Elias.) and John 9:1-2 (How
- can a person POSSIBLY sin before he is born, unless he LIVED
- BEFORE?!). [ ALWAYS use the "KING JAMES VERSION". Later
- versions are PER-VERSIONS! ] Strong INTERESTS, innate
- TALENTS, strong PHOBIAS, etc., typically originate from a
- person's PAST LIVES. For example, a strong fear of swimming
- in or traveling over water usually results from having
- DROWNED at the end of a PREVIOUS LIFE. And sometimes a
- person will take AN IMMEDIATE DISLIKE to another person being
- met for the first time, because of a bad encounter with him
- during a PREVIOUS INCARNATION.
-
- The teaching of REincarnation also includes the LAW OF
- KARMA (Galatians 6:7, Revelation 13:10, etc.). People would
- behave much better toward each other if they knew that their
- actions in the present will surely be reaped by them in the
- future, or in a FUTURE INCARNATION!
-
-
-
- "2nd COMINGS"
-
- If a Perfect Living Master physically dies ("trans-
- lates") before a particular Initiate of His does, then when
- that Initiate physically dies ("translates"), the Master will
- meet him on the Astral level and take him directly to the
- Soul Plane. This is the ONE AND ONLY correct meaning of a
- 2nd Coming. It is an INDIVIDUAL experience, NOT something
- that happens for everyone all at once. People who are still
- waiting for Jesus' "2nd Coming" are WAITING IN VAIN.
-
-
-
- PLANES OF EXISTENCE
-
- The physical universe is the LOWEST of AT LEAST a DOZEN
- major levels of existence. Above the Physical Plane is the
- Astral Plane, the Causal Plane, the Mental Plane, the Etheric
- Plane (often counted as the upper part of the Mental Plane),
- the Soul Plane, and several higher Spiritual Planes. The
- Soul Plane is the FIRST TRUE HEAVEN, (counting upward from
- the Physical). The planes between (but NOT including) the
- Physical and Soul Planes are called the Psychic Planes.
-
- It is likely that ESP, telepathy, astrological
- influences, radionic effects, biological transmutations [See
- the 1972 book with that title.], and other phenomena without
- an apparent physical origin, result from INTERACTIONS between
- the Psychic Planes and the Physical Plane.
-
- The major planes are also SUB-DIVIDED. For example, a
- sub-plane of the Astral Plane is called "Hades", and the
- Christian Hell occupies a SMALL part of it, created there
- LESS THAN 2000 YEARS AGO by the EARLY CATHOLIC CHURCH by some
- kind of black magic or by simply teaching its existence in a
- THREATENING manner. The Christian "Heaven" is located
- elsewhere on the Astral Plane. Good Christians will go there
- for a short while and then REincarnate back to Earth.
-
-
-
- SOUND CURRENT vs. BLIND FAITH
-
- The Christian religion demands of its followers an
- extraordinary amount of BLIND FAITH backed up by little more
- than GOOD FEELING (which is TOTALLY DECEIVING).
-
- If a person is not HEARING some form of the "SOUND
- CURRENT" ("THE WORD", "THE BANI", "THE AUDIBLE LIFE STREAM"),
- then his cycles of REINCARNATION in this MISERABLE world WILL
- CONTINUE.
-
- The "SOUND CURRENT" manifests differently for different
- Initiates, and can sound like a rushing wind, ocean waves on
- the sea shore, buzzing bees, higher-pitched buzzing sound, a
- flute, various heavenly music, or other sounds. In Eckankar,
- Members start hearing it near the end of their first year as
- a Member. This and other experiences (such as "SOUL TRAVEL")
- REPLACE blind faith.
-
-
-
- UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this
- IMPORTANT Information is ENCOURAGED.
