Outstanding Guide to Personal Empowerment

Confessions of a God Seeker is a well-researched description of how human yearning for identification with the divine can be directed outwardly toward religious organizations for the empowerment of those who establish them. Luckily, this amazing work does not stop there. It goes on to reveal how that same yearning can be redirected inwardly for the individual's own empowerment and result in the discovery of Soul's transcendent and eternal nature. This discovery reveals one's inner divinity and leads the individual on to higher consciousness.

NOW I SEE

THIS BOOK IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND ENLIGHTENING IT REALLY OPENED MY EYES.ANYONE WHO READS THIS BOOK WITH A OPEN HEART AND A OPEN MIND WILL NOT ONLY GET INFORMATION THEY WILL ALSO GET A NEW UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE.

New paradigm for spiritual awareness

This is a very thought-provoking book. The author takes a bold and courageous step in providing a critical review of the main religions and spiritual paths. More importantly, he offers a new paradigm that basically brings every human being closer to the truth and the god himself. If people are already empowered in many areas of life, why not empower them to try and reach out to god directly by themselves. This sounds very simple, but it is a very powerful idea that breaks ground. It is starting to change my own perspective. I commend the author for his diligent research and rich bibliography to help anybody who is interested to further go into those spiritual issues.

Yes,IT IS TRUE

....I didn't think the book was fair and balanced in it's approach to the serious matter of the content which ends up being more about Ford and his problems than about the shortcomings of Eckankar,the spiritual path.I didn't find it inspirational which is why I wouldn't recommend the book to others.I didn't find the "revelations" to be a trial by fire that most sincere people experience when they are growing as spiritual beings.Sincerely, saji

I can hardly find the words to describe Confessions

I was very reluctant to read this book because as an Eckist I simply didn't want to do anything to disrespect the spiritual leader and place myself in jeopardy. But after reading an open letter to Harold Klemp, I felt I had to see for myself just what Ford was talking about. To say that I have mixed feelings is an understatement. The information and the research that Ford completed is simply overwhelming. I had to put the book down to simply digest the emormity of what he was revealing about Paul and how he systematically invented a religion. I would not have believed it unless I had seen the documentation for myself. But what was most disturbing was the extent to which Harold was involved in the cover up even adding stories to enhance what were clearly invented stories by Paul. There is one example where Harold explains that Pauls description in Drums of Eck of the life of Pedar Zask (the spiritual name for Paul) was really a description of his existence in his past life were he was born on a packet boat on the Mississippi. Then Ford quotes Paul as saying that he was born in the Caucasus mountains in Russia in his past life illustrating how Harolds attempt to cover for Paul misfired and showed how he too was involved in spinning the myths. It goes on and on like this with one illustration of coverup and fabrication after another. Most disturbing but also most liberating. As much as I love this teaching, I don't like being lied to and being treated like a fool. Fortunately, by the time I got into part IV of the book, the pain was behind me and I felt a growth in consciousness that was like a final step to discover the God force within myself rather than giving all the credit to the Mahanta the Living Eck Master. It is some book and beautiful besides. The cover should win an award it is so beautiful. I can only say thank you to Ford Johnson for writing this book.
