Book excerpt: The rockets of the twentieth century ushered man into the exciting frontiers of outer space. But what of his inner universe? Unfortunately, it remains a black hole of mystery and speculation. The lightning-fast pace of today leaves us with little time to ask: What on earth am I doing here? Our search for love, wisdom, and freedom has so far been mostly in vain. Then our eyes catch sight of the enchanting words Soul Travel! Dare we hope? Eckankar offers simple, creative exercises that unlock the doors to Soul Travel, the means the great saints have always used to find the secret kingdom of God while still in their physical bodies. The ancient teachings of Eckankar, which Paul Twitchell brought out in 1965, emphasize the value of personal experiences as the most natural way back to God. Discover deep inner reserves of truth you have attained over lifetimes. Whatever your religious background, Eckankar shows how to look and listen within yourself—to expand your consciousness and enjoy spiritual freedom. You will come to know there is so much more to life than what we see. Today, the worlds of God again beckon the restless and weary traveler. All he needs for this journey is a road map and a willing heart. ECKANKAR—The Key to Secret Worlds is the map, but the reader must bring his willingness and curiosity. All aboard for the Astral, Causal, Mental, and Soul Planes. The flight is now boarding. Welcome to Eckankar! *** “People ask, ‘Why is it so important in Eckankar to learn Soul Travel?’ Soul Travel, in a broad sense, is of much value because it is a link to the expansion of consciousness. The rule of destiny holds that people at some time will begin to awaken to who and what they are. A knowledge of past lives may also open to them by way of dreams or déjà vu. A few catch a glimpse of future events. Note that Soul Travel means moving into the higher realms of God, to places people haven’t yet dreamed of. Soul Travel reveals a majesty and security that abounds in the arms of God alone. Soul Travel transcends astral or mind travel, and rote prayer, elevating one into profound spiritual areas. Whenever Soul reaches the far orbits of the inner planes through Soul Travel, the human heart open to God’s all-consuming love. It is our very purpose to discover that love. --Sri Harold Klemp, spiritual leader of Eckankar
