Small world. My own dear father was among the first to sign-on back
in 1965, when he met Paul Twitchell out in Fr'isco. My dad had been
practicing "asanas" of Hatha Yoga, and practicing astral projection
on a regular basis, and encouraging my experiences with it. In Yoga,
I got to the point where I could stand on my head perfectly relaxed
for about 45 minutes at a time. My dad had been in the Rosicrucians
for awhile before that. Dad finally left Eckankar back in the 1980s.
Personally, I believe this whole world is one giant cult subdivided
into sub-cults, every nation, people, culture, religion, government,
school, university, business, you name it, they're all cults, every
one of them. Granted, some cults are closer to the truth than other
cults, but they're still cults nonetheless because they all have at
least one leader and one follower. Bigger cults have a hierarchy of
leader****p, with up to billions of followers. But they're all cults.
