5.0 out of 5 stars The ancient scriptures of Eckankar., September 23, 1998

By A Customer

The Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad contains the wisdom and ecstatic knowledge of those planes of the spiritual worlds, beyond the regions of time and space. To read and study this highly inspired book will give the reader an insight into the scriptures found in the Temples of Golden Wisdom.

The essence of God-knowledge is laid down in these writings. Those who follow Spirit are involved in the Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad for it is their bible, their everlasting gospel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shariyat - Ki - Sugmad, January 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad: Book 2 (Paperback)

Reading the Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad provided me with a wealth of information and knowledge that I had found in no other books. It presents a unique perspective on the spiritual history of humanity and its relationship to God and Spirit.

Paul Twitchell credits it's source as coming from higher worlds. The most amazing thing about this, is that it actually lead me to explore these and gain a spiritual wisdom that goes beyond the words themselves.

The book focuses on ECK(Spirit), ECK Masters and the basic teachings of Eckankar. (The modern day religious organization of Eckankar was founded in 1965 by Paul Twitchell)

The intent of the book seems to be a guide that encourages the reader to read between the lines. That is where the real teachings of Eckankar seem to be revealed.

5.0 out of 5 stars GOLDEN REVELATIONS!, June 13, 2001

By	Dorothy Weiss (ORLANDO, FLORIDA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Has a messenger of God ever appeared to you, and shared knowledge of the universes of heaven existing beyond your present state of awareness? Scriptures, bibles, literature and sacred texts of world religions contain words of prophets, teachers and wise-men inspired by their spiritual encounters. Motivated by Divine Spirit, Angels, Masters, A Burning bush, a bright Light, a melliflous Sound, they tried to capture, record, and relate those rapturous moments to others. Author Paul Twitchell joins the ranks of those individual writing about their illuminating experiences for the good of all. He indicates that he received the golden revelations in this book from a guardian of sacred scriptures hidden in the spiritual worlds, and that there are more than twelve other volumes of scriptures in Temples of Golden Wisdom. This is a refreshingly different perspective on God, creation, levels of heaven, the sacred divinity of Soul, what life consists of and ways to live it,the pursuit of truth and God-realization. The cadence, rhythm and meter of the words may be soothing to some, and startling to others. This book, like most scriptures is best understood when read, a few pages at a time, and assimilated or critiqued in quiet sincere reflection. Then its beauty may strike a responsive chord in one's innermost beingness, that greater spiritual aspect in each of us; Soul. After reading the book, I want to see and study those other twelve volumes, and personally meet with those guardians of Golden Wisdom Temples directly, for myself. No intermediaries. Mr. Twitchell writes, "The Voice speaks to all who listen", and implys that enlightenment is possible for every Soul. Personal experience and knowledge of God is not a thing of the past; it is possible here and now. That viewpoint resonates within me as true spiritual freedom. If you find this book inspirational you may enjoy, "Shariyat Ki Sugmad, Book 2", "Stranger By The River", and "Flute of God" by the same author. "The Rosetta Stone of God" by James Davis, "The Art of Spiritual Dreaming" by Harold Klemp, and "In the Company of ECK Masters" by Phil Moritmitsu offer more spiritual options for today's fast paced and grueling challenges. A "Blue-print" for spiritual survival!
