Greater Spirituality is a new relevation for the new millennium. It is a doorway into a greater universe. It is here to prepare humanity for the greatest of all thresholds: the world's emergence into a Greater Community of intelligent life.

Greater Community Spirituality provides the greater context for realizing the purpose that has brought you into the world at this time. This is a different kind of spirituality. It is not based upon any world religious tradition or philosophy. It transcends all boundaries of race, culture, religion and language, providing the foundation for recognition and relationship between people, nations and worlds.

Greater Community contains 27 chapters, each answering a fundamental question about the meaning of life, our relationship with God and our destiny, all from a Greater Community perspective. This book is for those who have not found their spiritual home in the religious traditions of this world. It is essential for anyone who feels the great change that is coming.

From the Author:

As the recipient and writer of this book and of the other books of The Greater Community Way, I feel that it is my responsibility to introduce this revealed Teaching and the Tradition that it represents as purely as possible, just as it has been revealed to me. In doing so, it is my sincere desire to represent the greater spiritual association that serves everyone in manifest life throughout the Greater Community.

I am not merely the scribe in this great undertaking. This Teaching and all that it contains is the product of my relationship with the Unseen Ones and the allies of humanity. To represent and to fulfill these relationships, it was necessary for me to become the first student of this Teaching, traveling a journey that perhaps few in our world have ever taken before. Strangely, since childhood I have been endowed with a body of information about life in the Greater Community. It is not the result of my reading or personal interests. It is simply there. It has always been there, troubling me, inspiring me, pushing me and moving me forward where no road seemed to go, yet always with a sense of an abiding and gracious spiritual presence. Greater Community Spirituality is the result of this inexplicable journey.

For you who can read this book and comprehend its deeper meaning and the great strength that it speaks for and advocates, I offer my encouragement. You are at the beginning of a great and mysterious journey, a journey into a larger universe and a deeper experience of the Divine in your own life. This book will be a gateway for you and for others who know that they are part of a greater life.

It is a blessing for me to share with you Greater Spirituality and to invite you to step beyond the limits of human awareness and understanding into a greater physical and spiritual universe called the Greater Community. As you are about to witness, our education about our life, meaning and spirituality is at a new beginning.
Marshall Vian Summers

From Chapter 1: What is God? In the Greater Community, God is Knowledge. In the Greater Community, God is experience. In the Greater Community, God is the communication of profound insight and recognition from one to another, permeating all manifest life. This comes into being in the realm of your experience.

God seems like different things to different people and to different races in beings in the Greater Community, but the essential experience that ignites the desire for God, the awareness of God and the relationship with God is the same everywhere. What God is must be expressed in terms of your range of experience and your capacity for experience. In the Greater Community, God is so total and complete that any definition would always falter and fail.

In the Greater Community, God is complete. In your world, God is a God of your world, a God of your race, a God of your history, a God of your temperament, a God of your fears and aspirations, a God of your great heroes, a God of your great tragedies, a God of your tribe and your time. But in the Greater Community, God is so much greater, so complete-beyond the definitions of any race, beyond the history of any race, beyond the temperament, fears, and aspirations of any race, beyond the grasp of any individual or collective philosophy. And yet, you find God in a pure impulse, in a timeless moment of recognition, in the desire to act beyond the sphere of your own personal interests and motives, in the recognition of another, in the motive to give, in the inexplicable experience of affinity. These are translatable. This is God in action. For you, this is God.

You must think of God now in the Greater Community-not a human God, not a God of your written history, not a God of your trials and tribulations, but a God for all time, for all races, for all dimensions, for those who are primitive and for those who are advanced, for those who think like you and for those who think so differently, for those who believe and for those whom belief is inexplicable. This is God in the Greater Community. And this is where you must begin.
