| The New Message from God | |
Marshall Vian Summers (born January 28, 1949) is the central figure among a movement calling itself the Worldwide Community of people of the New Message from God. His seminal books constitute the beliefs of this new religious movement and are categorized as warnings of extreme change and outside threat, spiritual blessing, and preparation. He is perhaps best known for his The Allies of Humanity trilogy.
Summers was initially brought up in an Episcopalian family. He asserts that since the 1980s, he has spent thousands of hours of direct contact with "Unseen Ones," whom he portrays as an angelic presence assigned to watch over the Earth, with transcriptions of their communication. These transcriptions amassing greater than 9,000 pages comprise the self-described "New Message from God," which posits a time of impending dire crisis for humanity—on the threshold of emergence into a highly competitive Greater Community of intelligent life, yet socially dissolute and environmentally compromised:
I am not a guru, saint or avatar. I am a messenger with a vital message for the people of the world. I have come to speak about the reality of life in the Greater Community and the greater spiritual understanding we must cultivate if we are to advance and remain free in the presence of greater forces within our midst. This is why I am here and this is what I have to teach.
The New Message from God, a new religious movement from the United States, originates from the teachings and pronouncements of Summers, who is called "The Messenger." Summers and his adherents represent that he is a prophet on the order of the Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad, in receipt of a revelation over a period of 30 years which he has recorded on tape and which, transcribed, approaches ten thousand pages. Key components of this 'revelation', attributed to 'divine sources', include warnings of an incursion upon Earth called the Intervention, and pronouncements about the future involving global upheaval and interaction between the human race and extraterrestrials which, Summers claims, are from "the Greater Community."
