Eckankar. Discuss. Please don't post in this thread if you are a militant atheist and or want to convince me that Eckankar is a cult. Thanks. |

Just so you know, I'm an Eckist and probably always will be, but I'm still interested in other people's opinions on it. |

I haven't heard of them before. So what I think is based on that little |

*my personal opinion* |

^What you just said is almost exactly what Eckankar believes. The only reason to participate in the outer form of the religion is to have easier access to knowledge and like-minded people to gain guidance from. |

I read some of the page and the wikipedia article...I'm against any organized religion, and all for individual spirituality and truth seeking. no labels. labels and organizations (in regards to spirituality) are trouble. labels and organizations hinder and retard, and lead to disputes and hysteria and wars. |

Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.
I agree. The only true religion is the inner religion. When you take full responsibility for your path. In most cases when someone joins a group, they are looking for someone else to walk the path for them, or to walk someone else's path, which ultimately leads to a dead end. Many people lack the ability to seek divine truth for themselves due to laziness and fear. |

I think Eckankar is great. It has changed my life for the better in more ways than I can say. I like being part of a community of Eckists which shares stories about experiences and practices on how to live a spiritual life. But the real action is on the inner; Eckankar provides numerous spiritual exercises with which you can improve communication with God on your own terms. |

I'm a militant athiest and I'm here to tell you that Eckankar is a cult. |
