Does not worth a coin

This man is not a prophet. He claims all the big tittles to himself for the teachings of Kirpal Singh, and Paul Twitchell who this man claim to be the successor but Paul Twitchell and Kirpal Singh never claimed to be a prophet. Never claimed the Eck teachings to be a religion. He claims to be the intermediator between God and Man. He is just a man like us who has been around enough to know what you like to hear.

Absolutely amazing and enthralling

This is the most sensitive, loving, and powerful story I've ever read. This account led me to discover hidden secrets about myself and propelled me along on my journey of achieving the most satisfying life possible. The insights in this book can strip away the complexity of the mind and lay bare the naked, raw, and simple nature of Soul. It is to love . . . and to love divinely. Out of that love comes the conscious awareness of how to create a truly fulfilling life. Instead of trying to escape into some fairy tale view of life, I now embrace the reality of life better than ever before. "Thank you," Harold Klemp, "for the help, and the love."

This book made me feel normal

I could hardly put this book down. I have read all of Harold Klemp's books and this is by far the best yet. I felt his pain, his joy and his frustration of not understanding the workings of Spirit in his life before he became a Leader of a Religion. I am in my 60's and remember experiences as a child and tried to tell my family of them and usually the response was one of smiles, saying that it was all fantasy or perhaps a dream and meant nothing. Harold validated me and my experiences. The hardships of being a Master in this present day would be a mamoth ordeal for anyone and Harold Klemp with his deep ingrained committment,and love for God had brought him through to what he is today...a clear pure vehicle for Spirit. I can now imagine what Jesus and Buddha experienced with the frustrations of the consciousness of their time. I bow in honor to the beautiful writing which touched me so deeply. It soothed my Soul to read how Harold's life was so much like mine, feeling insecure, having doubts....wanting to trust God, but afraid. I may not be a Master, but this book made it seem possible for me to become a Master of my life. Thank you Harold

If You Want A Dream Friend,You Can't Go Wrong With This Guy!

I had a experience today that reminded me of what Harold Klemp maybe writing about in his latest book. It seems like we all have invisible helpers secretly helping us all the time, but if we don't put our best effort in achieving a desired result, then we won't see the help that these invisible beings can give us in overcoming the greatest obstacle of all...which is usually our own shortcomings on our road to becoming a spiritual being worthy of God-Realization!After I nearly lost my hand in a potato combine accident Oct. 13, 1973, I decided to read "The Autobiograpy of a Yogi," by Paramahansa Yogananda while convalescing in a Morman hospital in Idaho Falls. From that book, I knew reincarnation was a fact.Sri Harold Klemp takes those kind of facts to the next level by showing us thru his latest book that finding out about God can occur in the simplest of things and need not to require treking off to a mountain or having a freaky accident in order to become God-Realised.In fact he makes a most startling claim! It's relatively easy to experience God. The hardest part is fitting back into society afterwards! Like what does one do after such an experience? Harold suggests many methods in his book, but obviously doing the best one can in serving others with the love of God shining thru your eyes even in the most difficult of situations is part of the ongoing therapy of staying God-Realized.Today, I did my best not to get angry over a combination of ridiculous situations and somewhat succeeded. Tomorrow I will do better while shining the love of God thru my eyes and heart. It's always easy to preach love, few live it like Sri Harold Klemp, Eck Master! submitted by Lee Roth

Wow! Absolutely excellent read!

I just received this book as a gift from a friend. I really have not read much in the spiriuality genre but this book caught my attention instantly. I simply could not put it down and read it straight through upon receiving it. The depth of perspective Mr. Klemp gives on so many different aspects of one's spiritual growth is excellent. His recommendation to use the word Hu as he calls it for a spiritual exercise is unprecendented by any meditation techniques or prayers I have tryed in the past. Although my experience with other approaches is limited, I immediately connected with the love surrounding me using this technique. Suffice it to say the book touched me deeply and offers a lot of tips, insights, and techniques for the novice or experienced individual. His insights from the sharing of information about his personal experiences are priceless. I cannot recommend this book more highly to anyone with an open mind wanting to grow spiritually. Harold Klemp's book is well written and very readable. I encourage interested individuals to treat themselves to the best read they may find this year!

Most significant Spiritual book I've read in 2000

At first I approached this book with disblief. But after reading further into it I found it written with authenticity, honesty and a large dash of love. I thought it would be self glorifying and another book about a self proclaimed master. Wow! I sure got a surprise. It's the best book I have read since Autobiography of a Yogi the classic bestseller by Paramahansa Yogananda. It gives tools, tips and techniques not given elsewhere. The insights Klemp shares are incredibly helpful. I felt like the book was intensely personal and readable. It is definitely not your typical biography. It is written for people like me who are on a spiritual journey looking for the truth in a planet full of hype. At first I was not sure about his path Eckankar but he explains things so well and makes you think deeply in ways that help alot. I have no problem with with his path it appears helpful and certainly appears well grounded. I recommend this book highly to anyone with an open mind who is looking to discover more about themselves and their spiritual destiny.
