Ann Ree Colton was born in Atlanta, Georgia on August 17, 1898. Beginning in early childhood, her life bore testimony to her extraordinary spiritual gifts and aptitudes. She began her life as a spiritual teacher in her twenties, and served as a teacher of the higher life for over sixty years. Her spiritual aptitudes were many: she was a prophet, clairvoyant, cosmos disciple, spiritual teacher and healer, author of 23 books on spiritual subjects, lecturer, counselor, creative artisan, and an adept articulate in the inner mysteries.
Ann Ree's teaching and life exemplify the versatile gifts available to the spiritual initiate under Christ. Her legacy includes not only the memory of her magnificently gracious spirit, her personal spiritual attainments, books, and creations, but a path or method known as the system of Niscience, through which sincere seekers on the Path may also recover and increase the treasures of their souls. Ann Ree co-founded the Ann Ree Colton Foundation of Niscience, Inc. with her husband, Jonathan Murro. She passed from the physical world on June 28, 1984.
Ann Ree Colton represented a prototype ahead of her time, a prototype versatile in the gifts of the Spirit, who manifested the inner and outer marriages of East and West, masculine and feminine, science and religion, the practical and the spiritual.
A book of prophecy and revelation becomes more valuable with the years. Islands of Light, written in 1952, is such a book. Ann Ree Colton is widely known for her research of the inner life and the inner governings of the higher worlds. The descriptive passages in Islands of Light were spoken by her into a tape recorder while in full consciousness. The chapters consist of forty 11:00 p.m. meditative trysts with the Masters.
The information contained in Islands of Light is especially vital and interesting because of the prophecies related to the present time as well as to future ages. It is also a book of rare and relevant instruction from the Masters.
INTRODUCTION by Jonathan Murro Islands of Light is a prophetic masterpiece that is proving itself day by day. The remarkable prophecies and illuminating instruction are inspiring, thought-provoking, hope-filled. Its pages introduce one to the world of the future.
A prophetic book grows more precious with the passing years, for it offers evidence of the prophecies that have been fulfilled and brings into better perspective prophecies relating to the present and the future.
Ann Ree Colton, a logos initiate, is gifted with the ability to articulate what she is hearing clairaudiently and seeing clairvoyantly. When she is in a state of quiet meditation, these extrasensory aptitudes or gifts are magnified, thereby making her meditation periods highly creative experiences. She is also blessed with the gift of etheric visitation. This enables her to extend her range of consciousness into little-known worlds of light and love. These spiritual gifts - which she has been trained over a lifetime to express effortlessly, naturally, and reverently - qualify her for a unique role in life as an enlightened prophet, revelator, and teacher. Following Islands of Light, she has written a continuous stream of classic books. These outstanding books, plus a prolific quantity of other creative writings, offer further proof of her initiate-versatility, keen perception, and soul beauty. Islands of Light gives the reader the factual working within the spiritual life of men in relation to the Masters, their help to humanity at large, and their preparation for men to meet the crises that occur in 50-year cycles. This book relates itself to the practical disciple, to his metaphysical aspirations, and also to his need to know of the reality of Greater Beings who work with men.
In Islands of Light, Ann Ree Colton describes her inner world experiences with the Masters, reporting their words and her accompanying prophetic visions. Ann Ree was first aware of the Masters or Great Immortals in her twenty-third year, 1921. Ever since that time, she has remained under their telepathic tutelage. Therefore, when she spoke this manuscript into the tape recorder in 1952, she was well aware of their voices, presences, and symbols.
In the year of 1943, Master M appeared to Ann Ree during a time when she was suffering a critical illness. He showed her the records of her recent past lives, and told her that she had 11 years to prepare for the manuscript work to come. After eight years of practical preparation, Ann Ree experienced in 1951 a major initiation in the Sierra Nevadas. From this she learned of another spiral of discipleship in our time. Islands of Light began this spiral.
Islands of Light was the beginning of more freedom in expressing that which has been experienced by many in the world; however, they have silently withheld these experiences. In the present period of man's evolvement and growth, such persons are feeling free to come forth to show the way. In Islands of Light, one of the Masters' purposes is to show them the way, and also to make clear to the would-be disciple the simplicity within the great spiritual truths and their relationship to religion, philosophy, science, metaphysics, and the creative arts.
One may read Islands of Light with the full realization that he has in his hand a true book of instruction-revelation supporting his own spiritual life and understanding.
