I
want to go back to the home base now.
Who will be the next Living Eck Master? Well, here's what Sri Darwin Gross, former Living Eck Master and Mahanta title holder, wrote on October 14, 1989 to Sri Harold Klemp: "On February 23, 1987 PETER SKELSKY filed a claim in San Francisco as 'SUCCESSOR-IN-INTEREST' for the 'celebrity' name PAUL TWITCHELL. This is absurd! Sri Paul Twitchell is not a celebrity but an authentic spiritual leader. No one has ever owned him. . . . Why did Peter Skelsky buy 25-30 thousand copies of Paulji's spiritual adventure story EAST OF DANGER at the October 1982 Board meeting in Honolulu? What became of these books? Where did Peter Skelsky get the 25-30 thousand dollars to purchase the East of Danger books?" ---------------------------------------- Sri Darwin Gross, the former Eck Master and Mahanta holder, writes: "Had you [Harji] accused me of stealing 2,000 no one would have believed it. However you and your associates came up with the Big Lie of $2,600,000, it took in the gullible the too-trusting and those inclined to believe the worst interpretation first..... You had no facts to back up your story. The same goes for the other "whoppers" told about me." (October 14, 1989) ------------------------------------------------------ Sri Darwin Gross, the former Eck Master and former Mahanta title holder, writes: "16,000 copies of the original LETTERS TO GAIL were printed in 1983. You [Harji] had these shredded, to make way for the black magician version. It was a great waste and a spiritual crime." (from Darwin's letter to Harold Klemp, page 7, October 14, 1989) ------------------------------------------------- Writes Sri Darwin Gross, the former Eck Master and Mahanta title holder, to Sri Harji: "Instead of fessing up to bigger and bigger lies, you claim a familiarity with Paul totally lacking. . . You imply an intimate knowledge of Paul [Twitchell] which you lack. . . The pseudo LETTERS [note: here Darji is talking about volume 3 of LETTERS To GAIL which was highly edited and included "added" material by Harji and crew] blatantly contradict the original text and are a sneaky fraud on both the membership and the public at large. . . THESE DISGUSTING LIES PROVE YOU [Harold Klemp] TO BE AN IMPOSTER." (1989) Sidebar: Wow, these Eck Masters sure know how to extend that Ek courtesy of giving honorifics. I am surprised that the Sugmad didn't have these two EK Masters sit down at the Retz Cafe on Venus and talk their differences out. I hear the HERBIE cafe across the street serves a mean BRAIN burger and a LIVER that's to die for (pun intended). Here's an ECK Koan: If two ECK MASTERS cannot get along, then what are the prospects for chelas on first year discourses? Maybe Darji and Harji should go East of Eden and pound the Drums of Ek together in order to get the Tiger's Fang out of their bad vibes. ------------------------------------ The Battle of the Eck Masters: Sri Darwin Gross, the former Living Eck Master and Mahanta title holder, weighing in at over 300 pounds, looking a bit hefty, wheezing, and living in Oregon vs. Sri Harold Klemp, the present Living Eck Master and current Mahanta title holder, weighing in at less than 150 pounds, looking slim, not wheezing, but having some difficulties with computer lines, and living in ?. Writes Sri Darwin Gross to Harji: "Your fear of meeting me face-to-face is unseemly and has much to hide [sic]. I challenge you to meet me to resolve these problems like men of good will. . . Bearing false witness against another is contrary to all ethical religious standards. It violates the Godlen Rule to honor thy neighbor as thyself. Nor can you fool all the people all of the time. God is not mocked." [Sidebar: I wouldn't want to wrestle Darwin, since one scissor hold by the big boy and it could be astral plane here I come.] more to come in the continuing ECK-SPORT, where Eck Masters show how much the Sugmad has helped them in their inter-personal relationships, especially with former and present Eck gurus. ---------------------------------------- Writes Sri Darwin Gross, former Living Eck Master and Mahanta title holder, to his successor, and present living Eck Master: "Your rewriting of Paulji's work is, in the words of Niranjan >from the Tiger's Fang "LEWDNESS IN THE CATHEDRAL." Paulji warned again and again against the danger of occult arts.... In defiance of this warning you have interjected dark arts into the works of Paulji. Lacking the courage to sign your own name, you have concealed evil instructions under the good name of Sri Paul Twitchell." (Sidebar: Even Steve R. hasn't called Lane lewd [not yet at least]) Nice to see Darji demonstrating that fine Ek trait of civility and politeness. What an example to strive for on A.R.E., huh? ---------------------------------------------- Writes Sri Darwin Gross, former Ek Master and Mahanta title holder, about Sri Harold Klemp, present Living Ek Master: "I am determined to expose the CRIMINAL OCCULTISM you have planted in his [Paul Twitchell's] works without so much as a word of warning to the public. Nowhere do you disclose to unwary readers what has been done through stealth." (October 14, 1989) Sidebar: geez, from lewdness to occult crime boss to imposter; Darwin makes Steve's honorifics of me look amateurish. Maybe Harji and I should get together and swap stories over a coke or something. Then again, he might wear that Ek baseball cap and really send me into the twilight zone.......... ---------------------------------------------- Sri Darwin Gross, former living Eck Master and Mahanta title holder, writes: "Membership fees intended for EK message distribution have been wasted by unnecessary legal battles; by publishing PSEUDO versions of Sri Paulji's works; by unconstitutional efforts to silence critics; by punishing those who question what you are doing against the originality and ethics of Paulji's works, and most recently by the expensive planning for houses of worship." (Page 13, October 14, 1989) Sidebar: Hey, Darji, what about that million dollar lawsuit against 20 year old Jim Peebles? Was that "necessary"? And if you want to talk about efforts to silence critics, try thinking of your world-wide memo where you asked the membership to "destroy" SCP journals. You know it is getting late in the nite, when I start defending Harold Klemp against Darwin Gross. But Darji's claim for legal innonence is so patently absurd that he should be called on the mat for it. But then Darwin's 300 plus pounds, so maybe I should not wrestle with the vibes boy. -------------------------------------------------- It was fun to read the latest Mystic World by Harji concerning Sudar Singh (more on that specific issue in a later post) and Scientology. But it is a bit disengaging to say that Paul Twitchell was never really a scientologist. I am looking right now at a copy of the ACADEMY OF SCIENTOLOGY wherein it states how this academy will train you to be a scientologist. It then lists the trainers for this academy. In this brochure, which is dated from the 50s, it prominently lists Mary Sue Hubbard, Rosina Mann, and guess who? Paul Twitchell. Paul Twitchell is listed as the Counselor for the Academy and part of the staff to make you a scientologist. Nice try Harji, but no brain burger for the whitewash.
