The Summit Lighthouse is an international spiritual organization founded on August 7, 1958, in Washington, D.C., by Mark L. Prophet. Today it is the outreach arm of Church Universal and Triumphant, founded in 1975 by Prophet's wife Elizabeth Clare Prophet. The stated mission of The Summit Lighthouse is to "publish and apply the teachings of the ascended masters as taught by Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet."〔"Profile." The Summit Lighthouse Channel. YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/thesummitlighthouse.〕 Ascended masters are believed to be individuals who have lived in physical bodies, acquired the Wisdom and Mastery needed to become Immortal and Free of the cycles of "re-embodiment" and karma, and attained their "Ascension". The "Ascension" is considered to be the complete permanent union of the purified inner self with the "I AM" Presence - that True Identity that is the unique Individualization of God of each person.〔Prophet, Mark & Elizabeth. ''Climb the Highest Mountain'' Summit University Press 1972〕 == Branches == The Summit Lighthouse is part of an organizational structure that includes: * Summit University Press is a publisher of books, audio and video on spirituality and personal growth.

It was founded in 1958 in Washington, D.C. by Mark L. Prophet. Since The Summit Lighthouse was founded in 1958 by Mark L. Prophet under the sponsorship of the ascended masters, it has been their goal to bring liberation to all souls everywhere who seek spiritual freedom; to all those who sense their own innate divinity and wish to express and develop it. To further this goal, Church Universal and Triumphant was established in 1975 and has since become a worldwide resource for the teachings of the ascended masters. The ascended master teachings we espouse are universal, bridging the wisdom of the great spiritual traditions of both East and West. They have always honored and respected free will and the right to choose whatever beliefs resonate in each heart and soul. They have remained steadfast in their determination to spread the message of spiritual universality to all who desire it worldwide…and intends to continue until this mission is fulfilled. Their message is always one of awakening to the light within; a positive message for world transformation and renewal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Summit Lighthouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
