I wouldn’t base my opinion of Roy Master based on research of what you have read.

I would listen to him on the Radio and form my own opinion.

Personally, I believe him to be an authentic Christian.

If you go to www.fhu.com, there is a statement of belief that addresses a lot of the cult accusations,and which shed more light on the matter for you.

Roy Masters’ simple message is much like that of The Great Awakening evangelical movement of the mid-eighteenth century whose followers included George Washington. The Great Awakening, as history has so beautifully named it, gave men and women a sense that they had a direct personal relationship with God that transcended the one they had with the established church. It also promoted the natural rights of the individual, given directly by God. A clergyman or church that tried to establish itself as a permanent intermediary between an individual and God was viewed as impeding the correct religious experience.

The Foundation of Human Understanding believes that finding God within one’s self not only gives a person religious piety, but enables them to find true happiness and moral discipline and achieve freedom under God. For over 50 years, Roy Masters has taught a simple prayer exercise that brings each person to the stillness of their mind where he believes God exists. It has helped millions of troubled people transform spiritual and emotional suffering into a renewed understanding of how simple faith can bring forth the true, authentic self.

I read his statement of belief. That’s why I came to the opinion that he is searching and growing. I just don’t believe in a “fast track” to salvation that can be found through products. I certainly wouldn’t join his flock.

I’d never heard his radio show. It doesn’t play here where I live, though, so I can’t listen to it.

I’ve also read his Secret of the Inner Way To God... Although the last few pages are truncated he speaks clearly where he is coming from.
