I have posted here Paul Twitchell's "Letters to a Chela," the book version of one of his early "secret members only" discourse series. I would advise beginning with #1. These early discourses are the ones long-time Eckists studied and internalized. The book was available until at least the mid-to-late 80's, and was recommended highly to me by other eckists when I was a member. If the "Letters to a Chela" folder doesn't appear to your left, click "Messages" above, or "start reading" at your left, and the folder should then be listed at your left.

After you read them, you can follow the evolution and implementation of these plans for "world domination" in the writings of Klemp. For example, in "Ask the Master Book 2" Klemp states: "Those who are faint of heart do not win missionary or military campaigns. (...) How will ECK and ECKANKAR become household words? Only by our efforts. It will not happen on its own."

Update May 2004: Haven't been to this forum for ages, and it's a pleasant surprise to see that it still gets daily visitors, most of whom are reading all of "Letters to a Chela", which I *do* need to go through and maybe "rewrite" of my own comments - and then post them at another website. Anyway, for those who are just starting out researching e-kult, please be sure to visit:

- especially the "links" and "files" sections. Yahoo now requires "membership" to access the "files" section, but you can "join" and remain absolutely anonymous, unless you decide to post a message and participate in the discussion, in which case the "headers" cult members use to track down and identify people will show.

Please feel free to write to me personally at either sharon2000@playful.com or brighttigress@yahoo.com if I can help you in any way.

Thank you for visiting! And feel free to leave a message here if you'd like to!

Hugs,

Sharon
