Religion:The Summit Lighthouse

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." 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.

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. Summit University Press was founded in 1958.
• Church Universal and Triumphant was founded in 1975 by Elizabeth Clare Prophet when the board of directors for The Summit Lighthouse incorporated the church to meet the religious needs of an expanding body of spiritual seekers.

• Keepers of the Flame Fraternity is a non-profit fraternity. 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 are universal, bridging the wisdom of the great spiritual traditions of both East and West.

The Summit Lighthouse, its founders and the masters have always honored and respected free will--the right to choose whatever beliefs resonate in each one's heart and soul. The Summit Lighthouse remains steadfast in their determination to spread the message of spiritual universality to all who desire it worldwide…and intend 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.
