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.

For thousands of years,humanity has looked into the night sky and wondered: who is out there? Now you have a chance to travel into that night sky, to go beyond wondering and experience for yourself the reality and spirituality of life beyond our world.

This book is a window into the living story of our universe; the realities of trade, travel and conflict in space; the birth and death of civilizations across the stars and the greater plan and purpose of a Creator who oversees the spiritual progress of life in all galaxies.

Enter a universe that is alive with danger, mystery, relationship and purpose. Explore the unfolding narrative of life in our own region of space and learn about the struggle for freedom now occurring beyond the borders of our solar system.

Received by Marshall Vian Summers in a state of revelation, this book reveals what life is really like in the Universe, something human science and speculation may never fully uncover.

Much more than a book, LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE is an open doorway to a greater human experience. Unfolding before you page-by-page is a story and a vision of the living cosmos, the complexity of interactions between worlds and the future that await us as we enter this larger arena of life.

Go beyond the limits of a purely human vantage point and immerse yourself in this "Greater Community," a vast universe of intelligent life that has always called to you.

About the Author

Marshall Vian Summers is a visionary world teacher who has spent the past 28 years bringing Greater Community knowledge, wisdom and preparation to people around the world. Translated in over 15 languages, Summers' message has become the spark for a movement to unite the world's tribes and religions, preserve our natural environment and prepare for contact with life beyond our world.

Our world is at the threshold of emerging into a Greater Community of intelligent life in the universe around us. Therefore, a more universal understanding and perspective on relationships, spirituality and human advancement are needed at this time.

Steps to Knowledge along with New Knowledge Library's three other books contend with such works as A Course in Miracles as a complete self-study spiritual program. This book presents daily meditative practices that lead to an understanding "transcending human boundaries of perception, insight and comprehension." This understanding is described as a Greater Community Way of Knowledge. Summers has pioneered in the field of inner guidance and spiritual direction since 1975 and is the only teacher of the Greater Community Spirituality.

This work urges regular daily practice of study, consideration and contemplation. It is a well-thought out program to bring a person's life into balance through knowledge. Because of the emphasis on knowledge, the reader who approaches life through thought, mind, knowing and logic will be the one most served by this practical approach to personal and ultimately community spirituality...Nicely organized and handsomely designed, it also holds a sense of urgency for living an inspired life. --Foreword Magazine, May 1999

Steps to Knowledge was given to prepare those who will be the primary contributors during the next great period in human history, a period when humanity will begin to encounter intelligent races from beyond the world. This is the greatest threshold that we have ever faced. Yet we are unprepared. This has set the stage for a new spiritual understanding and teaching to be given to the world, for the Creator would not leave us alone and unprepared for our emergence into a Universe of intelligent life. Thus, a spiritual preparation of a very unique kind has been given which can enable men and women to gain the power, the compassion and the skill needed to serve a world in transition. 

Steps to Knowledge is divided into 365 steps, or lessons, and is designed to enable students to experience and apply their Spiritual Power, in the world. Steps to Knowledge sets out to accomplish this task in a step-by-step manner as students are introduced to the essential ideas and practices which make such an undertaking possible. Practicing every day provides a solid foundation of experience and develops the thinking, perception and self-motivation necessary for both worldly success and spiritual advancement. Steps to Knowledge was revealed to Marshall Vian Summers in the Spring of 1989. It was received over a fourteen-day period in a state of revelation.
