Review
These impressive compilations are the product of Marshall Summers' ongoing and intense connection with the "other-worldly" source of what is called the Greater Community Way. They represent a comprehensive body of teachings that touch every aspect of what it means to be human, and more than human. The material, compared to A Course of Miracles in the magnitude of its field of study, is deep, many layered, and surprisingly accessible given that each volume exceeds 400 pages. Along with the company's 1995 release Steps to Knowledge, they offer the serious seeker a lifetime of study and discovery. -- NAPRA ReView Fall 1997

From the Author
"This represents the great Teaching that is being presented to humanity, for the Creator would not leave humanity unprepared for the Greater Community. The Creator would not leave humanity without the means for living life according to the great purpose that has brought each person into the world. Receive this gift now. This is a gift to you. It is a gift to humanity. And it has come at just the right time."
Marshall Vian Summers

From Chapter 11 - Spiritual Practice

People often ask, "How can I find my purpose in life? What is my purpose in life? How can I gain access to my spiritual nature? How can I discover why I am in the world and what I am here to do?" All of these are important questions, but they call for a form of preparation and not simply an answer. In fact, the form of preparation is the answer. How could there be any other kind of answer? What other answer could there be? If you told people the truth about their lives, it would not help them unless they were in a position to receive it, accept it, and put it into practice. How could they be in this position unless they had advanced through the stages of development that await them? So, the correct answer is a process of development.

The questions that I have just mentioned are very great. They represent great achievements in life. They are not small pursuits. Their rewards are enormous. The rewards are life giving and life changing. The preparation, then, must be commensurate with rewards. Achievement here is far more difficult than simply learning a particular skill. It involves the re-establishment of one's life and an entirely new experience of life and what life is. Therefore, the preparation is great. Do not set out on it unless you intend to complete it. Do not dabble with it. That will not give you anything. You will not understand it, and you will not be in a position to evaluate it.

The Greater Community Way of Knowledge is an answer to a great set of questions. It is given at a time to prepare humanity for its destined encounter with other intelligent life. This represents the greatest threshold of learning that humanity has yet faced, for this interaction will change the way that people think of themselves, each other and the world around them. What they consider to be their practical life and their spiritual life change tremendously. That is why the Greater Community Way of Knowledge is being introduced. It is not the only way for everyone. It is a special way for certain people. I am speaking to you now and encouraging you to receive the answer that has been given to your sincere request for purpose, meaning and direction in life. This is a genuine answer. Now the challenge is to learn to receive it. To receive it, you must welcome it, accept it and embark upon it.

Customer Reviews

A Greater Perspective of Life
This is a profound gift for anyone willing to re-evaluate his or her assumptions with honesty and courage. The teachings from a Greater Community can help you get in touch with the Truth within if you are willing to do the work. This is definitely not a book to be read, this is a resource to use to test the validity and value of one's beliefs, assumptions and preferences that often go unchallenged but frequently are the source of tremendous confusion, frustration and inner conflict. I give this book my highest and strongest recommendation.

The Real Thing
Opening and reading the two books in this series, Wisdom I and Wisdom II, I was immediately aware of their power and beauty. The experience of reading them began a spiritual journey for me that continues to this day. They are a wonderful introduction to a truly universal spirituality. There are several levels to these books. The most obvious is a practical approach to everyday living and problem solving. But there is a deeper level, which may well awaken that part of God that is within you.

Deeply Moving
These books speak directly to my heart. Nothing I have ever read has contained such purity, such Truth. I am reminded of what I Knew before I was born, and had since forgotten.
