When first published in the late Sixties this book astonished the world and became a controversial best seller. The author claims his book is the true record of a fantastic soul journey into the heavenly worlds. Unlike a number of books which take the reader into first heaven, Twitchell pushes onward and upward, ascending heaven upon heaven, describing what he sees and hears with lucid and poetic language. I've never read another book since which comes close to giving such a vivid and graphic account of the higher worlds of God, and of the spiritual laws and principles which operate in those realms. Even if read as fiction, the book is a moving and inspiring journey of the divine imagination. Twitchell made a name for himself as one of those rare souls who have the ability to travel at will far beyond the confines of the body, to soar on high and touch the face of God. Another one of his books, titled ECKANKAR, The Key to Secret Worlds, gives the history of the art of soul travel, and many techniques on how to do it. I don't hesitate to highly recommend this book to anyone who is curious or interested in life after death, and in the higher heavenly worlds.

The Tiger's Fang is the greatest book I ever read! I am a seeker and have read many, many books on spiritual subjects. Many years ago I discoverd a book by Brad Steiger who mentioned in the book a remarkable man called Paul Twitchell.

This intrigued me and so I bought several books by Paul Twitchell. One was Eckankar: the key to Secret Worlds which I really enjoyed! But the one book I liked the most was called THE TIGER'S FANG by Paul Twitchell. This book is really incredible!

Paul describes his soul travel experiences with the great ECK Master Rebazar Tarzs. Paul journeys on the Inner Planes to the Astral World, Causal Plane, Mental World and Etheric Planes. On each inner plane Paul gets to meet the ruler of that plane and converse with him. Finally Paul reaches the Soul plane and beyond where there is no more thought or negativity.

Paul is able to travel beyond the Soul Plane into the God Worlds. And finally Paul meets God and experiences God Realization!

This book is beautifully written but its also incredibly inspiring. This is one of my favorite books of all time! I recommend that everyone rush to buy this book! (and I don't get a commision)

Spiritual adventure at its best. This book explores the universes of God, those heavenly planes beyond earth. If you're interested in aspects of soul travel, natural expansion of consciousness, and existence beyond death, you may find this book beneficial. The author seems to indicate that having the god-realization experience is possible for anyone. Read "The Tiger's Fang", and see how to begin that process. Well written, exciting, exhilarating, spiritual adventure at its best. A classic counterpart to Mr. Twitchell's "Stranger By The River", and also his "Flute of God". All three books offer readers life-changing options. Highly recommended.

What a great book. I could not put it down. I stayed up all night reading it, it moved me that much. It's well written and he describes in detail his travels with his 15th Century Tibetan Spiritual Mentor Rebazar Tarzs. He's either got the greatest imagination ever or as I truely believe it's an accurate account. If you read it with an open mind it will rock you from long held beliefs about life in the worlds beyond the physical. It's fascinating, enthralling and in the class of the best spiritual books ever written. It's right there with Gibran's works, Yogananda's, the Dali Lama, etc. Best read of 2003 for me. It will not disappoint any reader with an open heart. Highly recommeded, a can't put it down read!

It is a known fact in arcane circles, that with this book, Paul Twitchell has revealed some of the most hidden secrets of God. This body of knowledge was hitherto only passed in sacred and revered sanctums from Master to worthy students. Knowledge concealed in elaborate ceremonies, trappings, symbols and a life-times maze of deliberate false leads. This book is presented as a sublime dialogue between student and Master, an inner journey that is distinctly Twitchells'. It also betrays a detailed and graphic description of what is loosely called heaven.
It is also a road map for those of us so inclined to follow his journey Twitchell opines that this inner journey may differ from person to person depending on the prerogative of the Guide and Spiritual Master. These guides are souls that have traversed the road to the deepest Heavens, and whose only concern is to assist us in realizing our God-like nature throughout eternity. Gods in their own right, they belong to no religion, race, nor social persuasion. Forget the stifling ignorance of orthodox religion, this is the most sought-after arcane knowledge presented to you literarily on a platter of gold. The idea is to doubt this knowledge, then prove it to yourself, your experiences will then become a basis of your authority as you gradually join the species of people who have experienced a glimpse of the eternal. Dare to explore your self!!

I read this book 27 years ago... and since then, my spiritual life has totally changed. This was (and still is) what I call a "Page Turner", I couldn't leave this book alone until I was able to devour it all! I was "brought" with The Third Eye's Lobsang Rampa books, and the Astral Travel methods. A quarter of century ago, I thought that was THE only method of accessing the inner worlds... until I discovered that book. Since then, I learned that Soul Travel is THE way to the inner worlds. Astral travel limits oneself (limits, yes!) only to the astral, causal or mental heavens while Soul Travel (as explained by Paul Twitchell in Tiger's Fang) imposes NO limits. You are limited by your own limits! That book indeed transformed me inside and out... I have since then been able to "really" prove to myself the validity of my own inner realities through Soul Travel. Today, Harold Klemp is the Spiritual leader who is teaching this method, but one doesn't have to follow him to try the methods explained in his books. Also, look for "Autobiography of a Modern Prophet" by Harold Klemp. He explains how he was able to reach the highest heavens... another page turner...

After reading "Confessions of a God Seeker" by Ford Johnson I am giving all of Twitchell's and Klemp's books a second, hard look. I am now able to give a different perspective on a book review than a current Eckist could or would dare to.

Tiger's Fang is an interesting book with obvious ties to Shabd Yoga which was Twitchell's previous spiritual path. This book also has some Twitchell fiction similar to his "Talons of Time" novel. Rebazar Tarz, unfortunately, is a made up character who becomes the keystone in Twitchell's deception of Eck Master linage which validates the current administration. Still, the book does have some redeeming value if one is able to discern truth from fiction. Lots of luck!

If you don't mind, I would like to begin this review by giving you a little backgound on myself. I have four (4) different university degrees from various universities in the United States, and I have been a student of spiritual matters for over 40 years. I wrote my own book on the subject of law, and sold it to a major legal publisher a few years ago. Over my 66 years, I have met and discussed religious issues with people of all backgrounds including those who are homeless and those who have successful businesses or professional practices. I value the teachings of all great spiritual leaders who have love at the core of their belief, and at least once a year I watch and am moved by the movie "The Gospel According to Saint Matthew" by Pier Paolo Pasolini.

I sincerely believe that the "Tiger's Fang" by Paul Twitchell is the greatest book written in the past 2000 years. I ask you this one question, who has claimed that they have actually traveled to and heard the voice and message of GOD, and then backed it up with a writing with appears to support that claim? The "Tiger's Fang" backs up that claim with a facinating book that will amaze those who are ready to absorb the experience. In a world filled with war, the desire for power, self-destruction, and hate, what could be more important than the recorded experience of someone who has heard the message of GOD, and then presented it in a writing that can be appreciated by today's educated population.

The spiritual seeker must have an experienced teacher. Most of us start off in the human consciousness, and moving out of it into the spiritual consciousness is simply not achieveable in the typical lifetime without an experienced guide. The "Tiger's Fang" may provide you with a meaninigful step on your spiritual journey, and if you don't find that meaningful step here, I encourage you to continue your search as there is much more to reality than this world acknowledges.

This book gives you a glimpse into the different levels of heaven... and if your open minded will change you for ever. If you looking for divine love and spiritual freedom this book is a must read. If you love truth and or God again it will change your life.

For me it opened up all kinds of possibilities I didn't even know existed. One thing that it really opened up for me is that we can experience heaven before we leave this body upon death. And this book gives us a road map and how to directions that are inspirational and take out much of the fear.

An excellent ECK book. If you are a seeker of truth, this is one book you will want to add to your home collection. Mr. Twitchell lived a very
interesting and adventerous life of mysticism.
