One of the sources on this that "Sri Twitchell" plundered is "The Path of the Masters: The Science of Surat Shabd Yoga: The Yoga of the Audible Lifestream" by Julian Johnson, which is an interesting book to investigate if you can find a copy (it's long out of print, though Amazon.com typically has used copies at a fair price).

The few Eckists I've met in my life were intelligent, non-intrusive, loving, and overall good people. And they have a good knowledge of such matters without clouding it out with all the other elements that seem to infiltrate the occult. It's a system they choose and others went out of their way to cleanse of it the extraneous elements unneccessary to that particular aspect of their development. Maybe.
