I have bit my tongue for years and have restrained myself by bitting my tongue. I cannot in clear conscience do this another day. I do not want my friends, family and people in general to include me as one of those deranged Eckankar people. I must tell you this so you know the depth of deceit and control placed on us in Eckankar. I have been so afraid not to cooperate with Eckankar. I have regularly invited detective and police friends to cleverly question and spy on Eckankar members here at cafes and coffee houses while we sat under the guise of pleasant day out with them. Members that higher ups in the Eckankar headquarters and locally are consider threatening. Threatening because of finding out schemes our members have been utilizing to use our study groups as fronts to launder their personal monies and not pay required income tax on incomes. It is downright illegal and I know it. We are registered as a study group and not religion in our local area. Now my husband and I have been forced to use our local media business or loose our Eckankar initiations. We have videotaped and photographed members and sent this on to Eckankar headquarters. We have forwarded photographs and video films across the world to Eckankar headquarters to alert RESA's and higher initiates of threatening members. Our activity is illegal here as we are using film and image distribution without written authorization to do so by those we photograph and video tape. We have been instructed by the local RESA to call local and international centers to report the geographic location of Eckankar members who are considered a threat legally to our centers and the Eckankar headquarters. Eckankar members who will expose our tax avoidance and money laundering schemes. I just feel awful for having photographed and video taped these Eckankar members. I am being run ragged by constant surveillance of questionable members and threats of being thrown out of Eckankar if we do not continue to cooperate. I am in so much fear of being looked upon by my Eckankar friends as being a bad person if I do not do what the Eckankar headquarters and the local RESA asks us to do. It is time people realize Eckankar is a fake spiritual path out for control of members and non entitled tax privileges. I cannot believe that I would be asked to pass on illegally photographed and filmed people without their written consent and permission!
I was a member of Eckankar for 5 years. This is the first time I have told my story because I felt ashamed that I was ever involved. The local group I got involved with was in Raleigh NC. The people were very maladjusted in general and couldn't get along with each other. When I asked one female member who had been an Eckist for a long time why this was so, she accused me of being judgmental.
Early on I was picked for personal information until I finally told one girl it was none of her business. I got to where I would do what was asked of me from the local group but in general I didn't go to the center unless it was needed. After about 5 years, I was told by a long term member how initiations came about in truth. So I called the area Resa to verify if it was true that reports from local higher initiates were used and all the comments was recorded in computers in Minneapolis along with your sign up date.
When I asked the question, he refused to give me an answer twice. He said that he couldn't talk about that and stated that he had said nothing about me on any reports. Anyway, when I stated that I really felt a need to know about the process, he started screaming at me that I needed to get along with other people. I had asked in a respectful manner and I never got upset with him but there he was screaming at me about my inability to get along with people.
Frankly, from day one these seemed to be the most difficult people I ever saw and it seemed that so called higher initiates were to be revered if you want to get anywhere in eckankar. It is a hierachy in which all lower chelas are subject to the whims of higher initiates. Also, their appear biased against women since women can't be considered as the living eck master. Also, it cost a lot to study eckankar.
Holy Eck master, WTF?! I went to my first meeting today and spoke with two really nice people about this eck stuff, I even joked with them saying this isn’t a cult is it and then I came home tonight and started reading reviews like this one, they’re just as bad as the Scientologists, it is absolutely beyond insane how fucked up this world is!!! If I could I’d shoot them on the fucking goddamn head.
