Hi hindupridemn, not much, enquired of them many years ago and attended their Brisbane center, joined in Hu Song with them etc., (donation expected) but never became a member (they expect an annual membership fee payment). It is mix of many beliefs, Christianity, Hinduism, Theosophy, Scientology,... a lot of occult and new age stuff. IMO there is nothing new in their teachings that is not available for free from other sources.

Here is link to their webpage that describes their beliefs, customs and aspirations, and also a link to some bio info on the founder, Paul Twitchell.

Astral projection is referred to as soul travel in Eck.

It really is a big subject that requires some prerequisite understanding of the differentiated planes of Cosmic being. Generally they are considered 7 in number though the first and seventh are actual not planes but principles. The physical is generally considered the first and Atma the seventh. The Astral is considered either the second or third plane depending on whether the eltheric is considered separate from the physical or not.

Quote:
Astral projection (or astral travel) is an out-of-body experience achieved either awake or via lucid dreaming or deep meditation. People who say they experience astral projection often say that their spirit or astral body has left their physical body and moves in another dimension known as the spirit world or astral plane. The concept of astral projection has been around and practiced for thousands of years, dating back to ancient China. It is currently often associated with the New Age movement.

check out MasterPath & Gary Olsen....

he left Eck and formed MP...turns out MP is just an Eck spinoff....equally bogus and just a money making scam for the people at the top. They're bastardized versions of Sant Mat...among many where people 'pay to play' with false gurus.

Just follow the money........

yeah, the Hu...the 'love song to God'...

Olsen's minions gather and chant the same thing at the MP satsangs...probably while he hides behind the scenes counting his money...
