An Afterglow Accounting from Patricia Summers:
The Messenger Marshall Vian Summers receives
“The Remembrance”
on March 12, 2016, in Boulder, CO
March 17, 2016
A Message to the Worldwide Community of the New Message:
Dear All,
To all of you who would like to know of the Messenger’s experience of receiving revelation, we send this message to you in order that you be the first to know this.
Amidst a week of work and concern for the needs of the New Message and for The Society, alongside some complex health considerations and the need to elucidate the related next steps, the Messenger was called.
His fatigue has been noticeable of late. He has been expressing an increasing sense of compression about all that must be done that he has been living with. He must compile and render, even beyond the texts that the Society has already published, the entire New Message from God Revelation, from thousands and thousands of pages, and hundreds and hundreds of revelations. He also has been asked to proceed with a series of teachings and sermons. And he must complete an epic story that his Source asked him to write over three decades ago after a series of mysterious journeys he was directed to take.
Marshall has been writing this story all these years, beginning in the earliest days of revelation, all the way up to the present time. It was during these mysterious journeys, so long ago, that this great story began to take form in the Messenger’s awareness, and so began a process of writing and recollection for him of other times and places and cultures which exist beyond the human experience here on Earth.
And so on this early Spring Saturday morning, at 7:30 am, I received a message from Marshall from somewhere else in house:
“I am being called.”
I wondered, “Where is he? When did he get up? Did he get enough sleep?”
I thought to myself, “It’s no wonder.”
Night after night around midnight, as so often has been the case for decades, and just as he was dropping off for some much needed sleep, he would rustle, sit up, search in the darkness for his leatherette and pad and begin to write under a tiny light in the darkness.
Night after night he was being summoned…something was building.
And so, I went to find him. He was already getting ready to receive.
He had just called our son Reed who was walking up the stairs to meet me.
We gathered and prepared the space, closing doors, windows, distancing clocks and watches. Reed prepared and tested the recording equipment. I provided a drink of chilled, green tea steeped with dried hibiscus flowers.
Our dutiful 20-year-old hibiscus tree, its five-inch scarlet flowers just continue to appear no matter the season. I’ve often thought, maybe the hibiscus takes its cues and inspiration from the Messenger, because they both just seem to bloom on and on together…
I sent the following message to The Society members who were just then gathering online with the New Message’s Free School students from all over the world for our weekly Campfire Chat around the School’s session:
Good morning all,
Awoke to a text message from Marshall somewhere else in the house saying, ‘I’m being called.’Moments later when I first saw him, I asked him what he was experiencing, and he said, ‘I’m being flooded, flooded with ideas. I’m being called.’ And then, ‘Yes, flooded with ideas about The Remembrance, and there’s also clarity for me about so many things right now. This happens in this state of mind.’
He is seated now and the ‘uplink’ is occurring. He goes knowing you are all with him…”
And so, at just before 8:00 am Mountain Standard Time, the Voice of Revelation began to speak:
Very good. Today We will speak on The Remembrance. You carry within you the memory of your Ancient Home, deep beneath the surface of your mind…deeper within you there is a greater remembrance. There is a greater presence. There is a greater connection with your Spiritual Family beyond this world, who have sent you here on a mission and with a purpose to fulfill. You have not lost your connection to Heaven…even while you wander the universe in Separation, living in Separation from all that is permanent, timeless and forever…You are living in a temporary reality now, temporary on a long-time scale. It has a beginning, a middle and an end. And at this moment you are somewhere in the middle, for the end is far ahead of you and the beginning is far behind you.
You are like the iceberg, you see. Part of it is above the water line, but much of it is beneath, out of sight, hidden, but still completely part of the structure of who you are. In fact, it is the ballast to who you are. It is the foundation of who you are. It is who you are.
But deep beneath the water line, deep beneath the surface of your mind, there is the power of Knowledge, the deeper mind within you. And this Knowledge holds the remembrance of your Ancient Home. At some point, perhaps in a moment of despair, of great sobriety about your life, or a moment of great prescience and clarity of mind, you will feel this remembrance. It is not something you will recall in images. It is more a deeper feeling of connection, what it felt like to be there and how different that is from where you are now…
And when you leave this life, you will return to the remembrance and to those who sent you into the world, with great clarity of what you were sent here to do, and great certainty of whether you did it or not.
There is only the remembrance: ‘Ah yes, I was in that world, in that place.’
But here in this moment, the remembrance is so important because it begins to restore to you consciously your connection to Heaven, and with this connection you have a lifeline, feeding you strength and purpose….and courage.
God has sent a New Message into the world for this time and the times to come. This brings to you to the gateway of remembrance.
You will begin to remember, being with certain individuals and presences, with an immediate and clear understanding of what you are doing and why you are coming into the world.
This is all part of your remembrance. Beyond this is creation itself, timeless, inconceivable from where you stand today. Anything that is immortal is inconceivable to a mind that has been created in time and space.
What greater strength could God give you than the remembrance? For with it comes the strength of your immortality, which begins to unravel the countless layers of fear, apprehension and unforgiveness that are so much a part of your experience of living in Separation. What greater gift could God give you?
But now you have begun the remembrance, slowly, surely, as your life begins to become simple and clear, as your mind begins to open from its long and troubled dream of Separation. There is the remembrance. There is the feeling that you are not alone. There is the recognition that you are not really lost as you were before. There is something more solid and permanent within you now.”
As the Voice continued and continued to speak through Marshall, he remained fairly still with only a few simple hand gestures accompanying the Voice and its evocative teaching. At one point, Marshall had to pause in order to drink. The revelation continued to flow…
How could God give you peace of mind if you had no idea of who you are or why you are here, or what you must do, or where you must go? What reassurance could God really give you beyond the power of Knowledge and the remembrance?
…For with the remembrance comes the experience of true relationship. Even if you are entirely alone and have not found your true companions in the world, you will feel you are known and supported, that your life is valued for reasons that you cannot invent, which live intrinsically within you. You will know this with the remembrance, and the remembrance will grow as you proceed…
For how can you not remember where you lived in eternity? How can you not remember what that felt like? How can you not remember those who sent you into the world…?
Your current existence is like a grain of sand, and your true existence is like the beach that stretches as far as the eye can see. How can you not remember such a great thing? The truth is, you can and you will…You must have the correct relationships in life here that can reflect this and support this for you.
So the Messenger calls those to gather with him at certain times, so that he can impart the Presence and the Remembrance, and so that you, who are so called, can recognize that you are not alone…
You are blessed because the Revelation is known to you. You are blessed because Knowledge lives within you…and you are blessed because the memory of your Ancient Home and of those who have sent you into the world is with you, always.
Take then now the steps to Remembrance…Allow your mind to be confused, for it is confused already. Allow things to be undefined until Knowledge can make things clear to you over time. Allow your journey to open before you, step by step…”
The passages above are but a small part of what this very moving revelation contains.
After the Voice ceased, the room became incredibly quiet and then Marshall began to speak of his experience and gesture at the same time.
At that moment, almost moved to tears, I sent the following message to The Society:
If you could have seen him just after the Voice departed, his hands high over his head, saying, ‘The Assembly,…. like embers from a campfire going ever higher, ever higher into the night sky…’”
We sat silently together. Then Marshall opened his eyes and begin to speak:
They do not want to interfere with my being in the world or preoccupy me with their Presence. So They remain distant. For They do not want to interfere with the reclamation of Knowledge within me or within others.”
And then he collected himself, and recorded this message for all of you who read this:
I awoke early this morning with the Presence, earlier than I wanted to, I must say, on this Saturday morning. And [pause] as I sat, I looked out at the beautiful Spring day, and I could feel this gathering Presence. It became really, really strong. For when you are within a Presence like this, your mind is enveloped, and your heart is engaged, your deeper heart, not just your emotions, your deeper, deeper heart.
And as I sat, the words The Remembrance kept passing through my mind, and with it other thoughts about my life, for in that moment I was seeing my situation much more clearly than I usually do.
For with this Presence, you can see so much more clearly.So sometimes I have this premonition of what the engagement will bring, and sometimes I don’t, or can’t, have that.
But today The Remembrance kept coming to me, The Remembrance. Just those two words, The Remembrance. As if to say, ‘We’re here to bring the revelation about The Remembrance.’ No discussion. No explanation.
I understood what they meant. When my mind is aligned, the revelation can flow through me and I become the tip of the pen that touches the paper, part of the Assembly that touches the world. But the great reservoir of ink is in the great body of the pen beyond me, for I am only just the tip of the instrument that communicates to the world. This is my task as the Messenger.
Beyond all other things, this is my task.[Long pause] When the Assembly leaves me after revelation, it is like the cinders that go up in a campfire. You see these bright cinders sparkling, and they go up and up, and they go up in the sky, except these cinders go REALLY HIGH [spoken with tremendous emphasis], and they go like a funnel, up, leaving me kind of alone and empty, but very quiet inside because I know they’re still there, just further away now.
Who on Earth can understand this, unless they had some kind of experience like this? And even they would not know or feel what I am feeling right now…”
Following his experience of receiving The Remembrance, the Messenger took a short rest and then resumed his work on preparing one of the revelations for its inclusion in the future One Book. Later he said that his work here helped to ground him after such a huge engagement experience. Following this, he went for a short walk alone on a trail nearby, along the base of the foothills. He then returned and went out to water the early young, spring kale plants emerging from winter’s sleep.

Patricia Summers’ Afterglow Notes on the Process of Revelation
Thank you both and Reed for making the Revelation possible.
It is too big to comment on other than this for me.
Bless you all !
Thank you very much for this rich accounting, Patricia!
Thank you Marshall. I will show my gratitude by staying with my practice and adhering and applying the revelations. Thanks to Reed and Patricia for helping to get the details of the revelations across. I am 17 year old and African , this shows the extent to which Knowledge could reach a person and bring them to the New Message. Your work is being noticed and it has giving me life. It has been about 7 months since I came across the New Message and looking back, I can’t imagine what would have happened if I didn’t find it. Thank you, I am blessed to receive it at this young age.
Toriola, how wonderful to read this! It is a wonder to see the reach of Knowledge and the great work that is underway to take this pathway to every person on Earth. The world is blessed that you have received it.
What a beautiful revelation and experience that you have shared with us. It takes my breath away just to read it. I pray for strength for Marshall to be able to complete his mission here on earth. I am so grateful that he is here with us to give us this gift of a new life. My gratitude cannot be expressed in words. Thank you!
Dearest Marshall, Patricia and Reed, Thank you so much for including the WWC in this sacred account of the ‘AfterGlow’ of the Remembrance. Thank you for the long exerts that give such an insight into the Messengers experience and the gift of the AA. For each Revelation received, I need to remember that, there in your home, a sacred engagement has occurred. The AA was with the Messenger and you as well. They imparted to him–and through him to all of us–a gift. I feel so grateful to know more of the sacred process of Remembrance, but I know their reasons for giving it are so much deeper and larger than anything I can conceive of in this moment. I pray that this Remembrance will grow in me, and in all of the WWC, so that we will surly become the ‘bridge’ that brings Heaven into earth in our time. Looking forward to engaging with the whole gift of the Remembrance soon.
Love and NNC
Dariel
Dear Messenger Marshall,
dear Patricia and Reed.
May the Lord God bless you abundantly, indeed you are blessed already and highly favoured than any living soul in the world.
Today i was feeling something deeper within, i was recalling my mission in the world. I was remembering my true purpose of being in the world. It was so deep within me, I felt like what I was recalling was my own imagination and illusion.
Then immediately I found this new Revelation of Rememberance. It spoke and connected with something within me, something of ancient nature, something that communicates within me.
It answered my disturbing question and gave me clarity and insight.
Thank you so much, for being with us at these great moment of history.
I am an African in Africa village, I follow the messenger and the message. I am a committed student of the Free School.
God bless you forever.
Nasi Navore Corum.
Thank you, Patricia, for this account of this touching new Revelation and for the Messenger’s notes. “The Remembrance” has a special feeling to me, even when you told us about it in last Saturday’s Chat. It’s such an honor and privilege to have been found by The New Message. I am grateful every day. Blessings of Knowledge to you and yours,
Jeffrey Lee
Marshall, Patricia, All…
We never feel vary far away from you, but by you sharing of these moments, and with such intimacy, I remember that I am there with you.
Tears of graditude and joy… On with the work we came here to do…Bill
Thank you very much. This resonates deep inside me. Best wishes for Marshall’s well-being.
NNC, Josef
I always feel deeply moved by these AfterGlow accounts. It is such an honor to be privy to the revelation process, hear about what goes on right before a revelation is received, during it, and immediately afterwards. This is priceless. Thank you all for making it possible for us to share this experience with you.
This topic “The Remembrance” is particularly pertinent. I feel that remembering where I came from, who sent me, and the reason I was sent are crucial to my overall understanding of what it is all about, to knowing how I can contribute to the whole. How inspiring it is to read about the clarity Marshall experiences at these times when the Presence draws close.
It is such a blessing to receive Patricia’s afterglow with the living and the deeply touching account of the sacret process of the Messenger’s receiving of one of the countless revelation, which makes up the New Message.
You are certainly a very special and blessed family, providing the enormeus support, which is upholding the strength of Marshall for his sacret and very demanding endeavour. Thank you so much!
I am really thank for letting me know it.
To Marshall Vian Summers
I would like to thank God for your life. I would like to thank you for your devotion to your mission. I would like to thank your family and all people around you who make your mission possible. Thank you.
Your friend in Separation
Danuta Nowak
Dearest Marshall , Patricai and Reed.
Today I was feeling a little lost. I had misplaced my continuation training book and was feeling quite vulnerable these last couple of days. Even turning to other New Message material, I seemed separated. In this discomfort I went to check my mail and found Reeds email on ‘Looking Good’ which fortified me a little and then it followed that I read The Remembrance and I feel balanced again.
Many times I wonder at the mriacle that included me within this journey. I pray to be strong in the future and to be able to reach my purpose. Thank you so much for being there at the exact times needed. Blessings to you all and love. Nasi Novare Coram.
from The Messenger to all of you here and afar,
“Thank you all for sharing your experiences of the Afterglow accounting of ‘The Remembrance.’
I am very happy that you are part of the Revelation and can bear witness to it as it flows into the world. It is a blessing for us all.
Your testimony speaks of the greater relationship we have with one another and with those who have sent us into the world for this great purpose.”

Reading this expansive account of “The Rememberance” early Saturday, a week after it was received. A feeling of renewed peace and greater purpose flows and pushes the stagnation through my deeper core leaving me feeling lighter and more connected. I will now go administer water to the dry parched banana trees and orchard as we continue with the hottest summer on record here in the Nicoya peninsula of Costa Rica. Thank You, again and again.
These words are like water flowing into a parched desert, but one ready to spring up with life. They are like fire leaping off the page, to burn away all that is not with Knowledge, all that is without love.
Out here, among so many without Knowledge, without Remembrance, the Remembrance protects me and enfolds me. Surely I am among the most blessed to be here in this world at this time.
Patricia: could I please have some seeds from your hibiscus tree?
Nasi Novare Coram
Bless you and thank you, thank you, thank you Patricia, Reed and Marshall, Darlene and Jeanine.
Marshall, Patricia and Reed,
I wish there was some way Marshall, that one really could know, could get, where you are and how you must feel, having to bridge the two realms of Heaven and Earth. All that you have demonstrated in the 10 + years I have been learning to know you, tells me that you were perfectly chosen for this huge responsibility of receiving and sharing God’s New Message for the world.
Your graciousness in sharing Marshall’s process of Revelation is received. The Angels of God descended upon the earth to give another blessing, The Remembrance. Grace has come and surrounded me and moved deeper into my heart in knowing of this. It is clear to me, the high regard and respect the Messenger and his family have for the students of the New Message.
With love and devotion, Gina
Words cannot express the gratitude for Marshall, Reed and Patricia and the Society for the New Message and the wisdom you bring into this world. It is greatly needed yesterday, now and in the times to come. Peace
So happy to read these journals. This is bringing things close to all of us, and we do need to be feeling part of something bigger in the world. Much gratitude from here. NNC
Thank you, Patricia, for being so courteous to us & generous to share these afterglow experiences with
the Greater Community here on Earth. I feel so blessed and thankful to be a part of this “Time of Revelation.”
To share something as intimate as what Marshall is experiencing, deeply touches my heart. It’s something that no one would know what a Messenger experiences, unless you were there with a Messenger. I never had any idea that Jesus would have had these similar experiences. I had no idea until you started sharing with us some of these experiences. It’s nothing like what I’ve seen with mediums or channelers. But I feel very honored that you are sharing them with us.
When other people in the world are exposed to some of these sharings of what Marshall, you & Reed have been experiencing, how could they not be touched so deeply? I plan on sharing this one with some close friends who have been exposed to the Revelations, but have not been moved inside to further explore
The New Message.
Please, Patricia, when Knowledge moves you, continue to share these afterglows with us.
Thank you, Marshall, for all that you do and have done to prepare yourself to bring such a vast Message to our World who desperately needs it. I am grateful that you “took the assignment.” ;>)
May we all be blessed and continue to live the Way of Knowledge and be strong vehicles for Knowledge for the rest of our lives. Welcome to Spring!

“How are great things done in the world?
They are never done by individuals.
Greatness always happen because something greater is poured through the individual.
It is like a fountain pen.
It is not the tip but the vessel that holds all of the ink.
In the world you are like a tip touching the paper, but that is because you have a greater vessel to pour through you that you can provide something uncommon, … important and lasting here.”
..
“The fundamental understanding is the realization that you are already part of something that is established..
The world does not demonstrate this, so you must know it within yourself.
Knowing this you realize you have a responsibility to a community that already exists.
This responsibility is what will encourage and empower you , .. to do great things in the world.”
Wisdom From The Greater Community Vol. One
(Excerpts: Chapters Five & Six)
Rahn Ekan Novay Trenansa, Misu Veda Maya Toom:
“We call upon the power of those who have achieved the state of Knowledge within [the world]] and beyond to assist us in this great mission of bringing the Way of Knowledge into the world.”
Prior to last week’s Camp Fire Chat I had not looked at my emails for a while and was not aware of Patricia’s message and afterglow accounting of Marshall’s receiving of this new revelation- The Remembrance. The Remembrance was a major theme of last week Campfire Chat and after hearing other students share their inspired response to experiencing portions of The Remembrance and to hearing Patricia’s intimate accounting of Marshall’s engagement with the Angelic Assembly.- Immediately I went digging through my email to find and read Patricia’s Afterglow accounting. I love how Ellen describes the experience of reading Patricia’s precious renderings of these sacred events, at the beginning of last week’s chat- “Patricia, in her own inimitable and amazing way, brings us almost into the very room of revelation….as if we are able to stand at the doorway, peering in, and thus truly taking in the miracle of what is happening in our midst. What a blessing this is! Gratitude beyond bounds!”
There was one paragraph of The Remembrance that was especially moving to me- “But deep beneath the water line deep beneath the surface of your mind there is the power of Knowledge the deeper mind within you and this Knowledge holds the remembrance of your ancient home. At some point perhaps in a moment of despair, or great sobriety about your life, or a moment of great prescience and clarity of mind, you will feel this remembrance. It is not something you will recall in images. It is more a deeper feeling of connection, what it felt like to be there and how different that is from where you are now…” This paragraph really impacted me because just several days prior during one of my 30 minute Steps practices, I was giving myself to my practice going deep into stillness and the question arose what did it feel like my ancient home? What did it feel like? A warm feeling of resonance came over me. My teachers àre with me. I’m beginning to remember!
How Grateful I am to have found the New Message, and to witness and be a participant in the greatest event in the history of our world. “Gratitude beyond bounds!”
Kelton
Send my infinite gratitude to Marshall and all who are working in concert with him!
Words cannot express the feelings that are coming to the surface when I read this account of this purity.
I walk with you,Marshall.
Sometimes I feel alone, but my heart is filled with gratitude when I find experiences that speak in my most depths of my heart. Patricia gratitude gratitude to the Messenger, may the blessings of heaven be upon us all. and that the presence of our teachers comfort difficult moments in our journey.
After three years of daily STEPS’ PRACTICE, I continue to marvel at the oceanic depth and continuance of The Revelatory Process and am particularly grateful to Patricia and Reed (Marshall, of course) and for the overall functioning integrity of this small but powerful family.
How can we forget the vast, endless beech from which we “grains of sand” have come from. It seems amazing that we can forget; although forget we clearly do. And to have a teacher here in these troubled and confused times to truly RE-MIND us is perhaps our finest hour and deepest blessing.
From the moment I encountered the first few lines of NM, I’ve never had any doubt of its, nor THE MESSENGER’S veracity.
I’m honored to have met this whole family and remain honored to turn the pages of my STEPS book. Each page pushes and challenges my capacities in ways that one never would have imagined a spiritual practice may do. If we look at the world with clear eyes, we can see that it’s ripe for a teacher from Marshall’s Assembly to remind us of our mettle and fabric; of who we are and where we come from.
Thanks for reminding me, Marshall. For this unique and precious lens on a Revelation, Patricia, thanks for your energy and true devotion to the greatest of causes.
I look forward to my next sacred encounter at encampment.
In gratitude,
Scot Kyle
The sharing of this communication openly is awe inspiring..may my support of the New Message be the same.
Thank you , and your family.
I have just been given access to you in a most amazing way
It makes so much sense I look forward to the knowledge , to the practice and to this unending journey
Just to be a part of your wisdom and your understanding. Have been waiting for this !!!
Thanks to you , my guides and the Great Divine, I knew you would come.
Jan
All I offer is companionship along this road should you wish it. Observation is not separation it is just my reality. Thank you for your time shared..
I just finished the listening of “Understanding the New Messenger” The feeling of gratefulness rushed over me and the last words “And you will remember those who sent you here, so very long ago.” kept coming into my mind. Then suddenly the thought “The Remembrance” came into my mind. Yes, The Remembrance. I must listen this now. Was it already published? I found only this “Afterglow” journal and began to read it through it the second time. These words of the Revelation now struck me: “…For with the remembrance comes the experience of true relationship. Even if you are entirely alone and have not found your true companions in the world, you will feel you are known and supported, that your life is valued for reasons that you cannot invent, which live intrinsically within you. You will know this with the remembrance, and the remembrance will grow as you proceed…” I have felt so lonely in my journey up to mountain but now I recalled how many times I have felt being supported. This mysterious feeling that life itself seems to recognize your importance and supports you once and a while in your important journey here in the world. Thank you for confirming my experience. I am not alone.
Your were a godsend, and I mean that literally. I too have received a voice that came to me from out of the blue. The only thing I can say about it is that it is awe inspiring. It has powers that I never knew existed. When I heard that voice speak to me this morning, the only words it said was, “Your relationship with the world.” When I googled those words, I found your website. The first first thing I noticed was, “Message from God.” How can I not believe that I was meant to find you and all of your wonderful messages. I do not believe in coincidences. I just want to thank you for sharing your wonderful gift, to all of us who are searching for the truth. Many blessing to you and your family.
This helps. This helps so much.
Such a powerful message. I am grateful for all your effort Summers family. Nasi Novare Coram.
As I read this afterglow, may we all remember were we came from. May we feel this deep within us. May we feel that our lives are for a purpose and our lives are valued. May we remember.
Thank you Marshall, and others who made it possible.
