Tossing and turning one night, Lenny realized he was spiritually on the edge of a precipitous cliff. He crawled from under his covers and switched on the TV. On the screen was an ad for the ECK Worldwide Seminer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A voice inside him said, " Call the number," Lenny hesitated, " Call the number," so he dialed 1.800-Love God.
A short while later, a mailing arrived from Eckankar. Inside was a free book, ECKANKAR...Ancient Wisdom for Today, He skimmed through it; liked it. All right, then, it was time to visit the Temple of ECK in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
Lenny, a Minnesota resident had driven past the Temple for ten years, he'd always known that he would stop in someday, but a certain timidity kept him from it.
He finally overcame his reticence and went to the Temple Inside, a genial host offered him a tour, to which Lenny agreed. The tour coursed along a corridor to a chapel near the main sanctuary. There, on the wall, hung color portraits of ECK Masters. Lenny stared at them. For the first time since his near-death experience, he finally understood his out-of-the-body journey. He recognized the ECK Master Fubbi Quantz. He was the man with the white beard and long white robe. He was the very one Lenny had once mistaken for God, the one who had told him things about his future.
And there too was a portrait of Yaubl Sacabi, the bald man who had offered guidence in times of trouble. For the first time in twenty years Lenny knew. With absolute certainty that his experience had been real, he wasn't crazy; in fact, he was blessed.
In good time, Lenny learned about karma, reincarnation, and past lives, and he also found answers to a lifetime of questions. Best of all, he discovered the way to again enter those worlds of light, love, and infinite beauty he'd seen so many years ago.

I'll take that as your attempt at being funny. May the Blessings Be.

There isn't anything funny about mental illness For the first time in twenty years Lenny knew. With absolute certainty that his experience had been real, he wasn't crazy; in fact, he was blessed.It's a puff piece for your cult, nothing more.

Hi Fretslider, You are right true mental illness is not funny and Lenny wasn't crazy. Something unusual happened to him for which there was no explanation at the time, but was found to have a rational explanation at a later date when he saw the portraits of the ECK Masters, who were real people.

Lenny's state of mind seems questionable at best. Unusual things happen to people every day, that's why they're called unusual. I look at many paintings, listen to a lot of music, what needs to be rationally explained? Nothing. Do give us a rest from these mind games.

Hi Fretslider, I'm certainly not playing mind games, but it appears that you are doing that with me, how could you? You are definitely not seeking evidence, it has all been a farce from beginning to end, and now you want to muzzle me, there goes free speech, I guess.!!!

""You are definitely not seeking evidence, it has all been a farce from beginning to end""
what is a Farce from beging to end .. there are only 6 or 7 posts on this thread
"", and now you want to muzzle me, there goes free speech, I guess.!!!""
get over yourself who wants to muzzle you.... whats with the attempt to play make believe victim and an acusation that Fret wants to muzzle you.. and what does ""there goes free speech mean""i see no one stopping you speaking freely/writing freely so its yet an other allegation and some foot stamping because no one is taking you seriously ..
and why would you think Fret would be seeking evidence ...has he indicated a desire for evidence...
and what sort of names are these where do these names originate ECK Master Fubbi Quantz and Yaubl Sacabi, the bald
I am also wondering why these evolution posts are not in Religion where they belong .....be honest these evos are not exactly Deep thought and are just another soap box for ECK and nothing to do with anything evolving

Lenny must have had a great deal of extra time on his hands.
Most of us have too many things of this world to keep us busy to indulge in (as the old saying goes) contemplating our navels.

Hi Jessiealan, If you love God, you will always find time. There is a lot involved in going to church, not just presching.

The title of the book is Life After Death and Divine Evolution is but one chapter. I should have labelled it A Visit to Heaven. It still evokes Deep thought, so stop ordering people around, you are behaving in a totally obnoxious manner.by making fun of a serious and thought provoking matter. Lenny could have died. Do you laugh at funerals?

Seems to an attempt to deter SL from posting freely. bollocks there is no attempt to stop SL POSTING... you see how easily you two jump to conclusions and spread misinformation and untruths.. another example of trying to alter the meanings of words [which is getting to be a regular occurrence]..so take another look at what Fret wrote and understand the words.. they are very easy to understand .. its not good to make false acusations .. it isn't very Christian either """"Do give us a rest from these mind games"""

Do you laugh at funerals? what are you going on about now.. SL wrote ""So Atheists are not going to die?""" has any one sujested such a thing? ...NO ONE has written or inferred such a thing SL wrote"""The title of the book is Life After Death and Divine Evolution is but one chapter"""as eck is mentioned and you term it a religion should it not be in the religion space rather than deep thought SL wrote""" I should have labelled it A Visit to Heaven."" then it would definitely have been better in religion as heaven as we understand it is a religious concept SL wrote """so stop ordering people around"" I have ordered NO ONE around.. yet again your reading what isn't there...and making acusations which are untrue.. first you make an acusation about Fret .. and now me.. a few days ago it was Men under fire.. so any one who doesn't agree with you ..you appear to make false allegations about SL wrote"""you are behaving in a totally obnoxious manner.by making fun of a serious and thought provoking matter"" I can see no attempts by me to make fun.. this is only my 2nd post in this thread so what is with yet another acusation ? and while as yet I have NOT made fun.. I don't find another soap box for ECK a serious or thought provoking matter so I would sujest in all seriousness that you really do need to read and understand other peoples posts and stop making these silly false acusations against others
