It's not my belief that Eckankar intends- nor ever has intended- to remain an active institution for longer than about ten years from the present. One primary reaso for this impending withdrawal is the issue of intoxicants- they cannot officially sanction the use of such, for sublime reasons- but the truth is, in the coming age, many will make use of intoxicants- not unwisely. The special demands which confront people, this aeon, generally, make the use of intoxicants, or some intoxicant often wisest- although dangerous... Those who desire longevity, for example, often make use of them. This aeon, actual life incarnation is not naturally considered as important as it has been; the Onus of suicide, for example, not as serious. For the sagacious, however, this is generally not true, to be such sticklers. Uranus means Wide Open, accepting every possibility- in a sense (Uranus is one planet of the New Aeon); Freedom. Use of intoxicants, such as intoxicating herb, is often supervised by Angels or Archangels, who have an in depth understanding of the issue, which is fortunate. The special problems which beset people are actually often best addressed by such usage. There can be ostensibly very serious problems. I will mention that the current "Opiod Crisis" is being addressed by the President in the best, most indicated manner. Gurus who work openly and need good reputation correctly feel that they cannot sanction suicide- but this New Aeon, the general level of permission increases a little, generally. That is an essential attribute of Uranus. Still, some who commit suicide wind up in Hell- this is true. Most who are justified are of an higher level of soul development.
I will say that the assassination of Paul Twitchel, the founder or Revealer of Eckankar- the most astounding spiritual revelation of the Aeon- was the most serious murder which has been committed. More serious than any of the other very serious murders. I am not one of those who don't believe in the current leadership, as if the lineage was lost after his death...
