This book is the best book I ever read which describes the worlds where we will go after death and the worlds we came before birth. It not only describe these worlds but at the end of each chapter it has exercises which tells us how we can experience those worlds.

No matter what path you may walk or service you may perform, this book has exercises that can help any soul walking here on Earth become a greater vessel to the unique aspect of God that flows through them. Enjoy, if you dare.

Blaise in her review below appears to me an example of a person who recognized in Soul the truths contained in this book and benefitted spiritually from them, but then let the mind take over and let doubt tear down everything she had gained. This of course is a common test, facilitated by people such as Ford Johnson who don't get the path of Eck and the Eck Masters even after decades of being on the path. The mind agonizes over what's real and what's fake, and it feels betrayed and misled when certain information doesn't jive with other information or doesn't fit certain norms. Soul on the other hand experiences and knows. Anyone who has had an experience in Soul with one of the Eck Masters knows the truth about them. They know the incredible gift it is when God speaks to us through a spiritual matrix, and the high state of consciousness, sacrifice and disciline it takes for an individual soul to provide the blueprint for such a matrix. I've had many experiences with various Eck Masters, and in Soul I recognize the tremendous gifts Ginny received from them to write her book. In fact, I would go so far as to say this is the best book I've read since I finished my last Paul Twitchell book. It is a true treasure. In its understanding of creation, the bodies of man and the lower worlds it is far beyond anything out there. Every Eckist and every non-Eckist should read it, although probably readers with some Eck background will get the most out of it.

At one time this book was my Bible. That was when I was still a member of Eckankar, but bored with its outer cult like attitudes, and was searching for something to shore up my faith. Ginnys book did this, explaining staid Eckankar concepts like the mahanta (called the Wayshower in this book) and initiations (called spiritual achievements)in a new and less elitist description than explained by Eckankar. I was also an avid user of therapeutic gemstones. However, after inner experiences and the devastating book by Ford Johnson, I realized Eckankar to be a fraud and deception. It took me awhile until I understood that the inner experiences I had during my time with Eckankar was really me - my higher self in operation, and had nothing to do with knowing the fictitous eck masters that Ginny encounters. This makes me now question the concepts I held so dear in Ginnys book, because so much of what she says is based upon inner experiences with the fictional eck masters such as Rebazar Tarzs, and the plagiarist Paul Twitchell. I still endorse and believe in therapeutic gemstones, but I want a more scientific or at least clinical demonstration of their effectiveness, and will not settle for merely one persons inner experiences with a host of inner beings as the absolute word on the subject. Also, why did the author leave the gemstone organization she promoted at first shortly after this book was written? It makes me suspicious.
