A great tragedy is happening today in the name of religion—cruelty, punishment, war, genocide. Of course this has happened before, but it is shocking to see it in one’s own time, in the name of religions that are supposed to promote peace, forgiveness, compassion and understanding.
What we have here is religion without soul, religion without real conscience. Not social conscience, not what your culture has taught you about what is right and wrong, but what God has put within you to know what is right or wrong.
In the New Message for the world, this deeper conscience is called Knowledge because it is related to the experience of direct knowing. Your deeper conscience produces this experience for you, despite your religious views or your rejection of religion altogether, despite your judgment against other peoples of other faiths. Whether you be with religion or not with religion, Knowledge lives within you because it is what God has put within you to guide you, to protect you and, if you are able to recognize it and follow it, to lead you to a life of greater service in the world.
Religion without soul…many people are embittered about religion because all that has been done to corrupt religion, to misuse religion, to use it as a weapon of war or punishment, all of these things are an abomination to God. For God’s New Revelation to the world does not hold that punishment or execution in the name of religion is just or appropriate. In fact, the New Message calls it an abomination, an abomination to God. This means there are no holy wars or holy warriors. This means that you do not attack, punish or kill people in the name of God or religion. For this is an abomination. This is religion without soul.
Religion based only upon belief, upon tradition, upon ideology, is religion without soul, or what I would say: religion without Knowledge. That is why in God’s New Message for the world, Knowledge is the centerpiece of its teaching, and while it speaks on nearly every subject of importance to humanity, Knowledge is the hub of the wheel because Knowledge is what gives you the eyes to see and the ears to hear. Knowledge is what holds for you your greater purpose and destiny in the world and the recognition of those people who will play the most important role in your life as you go forward.
Knowledge is the most important ingredient, not only to religion, but also to life, for without it you are driven by social conditioning, by religious conditioning, by the control and manipulation of others and by your own fear and prejudices—all the things that can dominate a person’s mind and behavior.
A life without Knowledge is really tragic, whether you are rich or poor, because it is dominated by fear and greed and judgment. But religion without Knowledge is particularly painful because it contradicts the very essence and purpose of religion, which is to bring you into greater alignment with the Presence and the Will of God as God is working through you, through this deeper Knowledge that I speak of.
Religion with Knowledge means that your conscience is more important than your belief. It means that you have to follow what God has put within you to know what is true or what is false, even if it flies in the face of your beliefs or the belief of your family or your culture or your tradition if you have one. It means you are guided from within rather than from without.
But to find this Knowledge within you and to learn how to discern it from the other forces in your mind requires a very important kind of preparation, a preparation that ultimately must be given by God. In God’s New Message to the world, this preparation has been provided through the Steps to Knowledge training—a preparation that is free and available to all people in the world today. Given in the simplest terms but with tremendous depth and power, this preparation can be easily translated into other languages, and it carries with it not only tremendous depth and wisdom, but the Power and the Will of the Creator.
I ask you not to believe this, but to experience it for yourself. For when you engage with this preparation, you will know that it could not have come from a person and that its intent is wholly beneficial, born of Grace and Wisdom.
This is to restore soul to religion and soul to everyone, whether they be religious or not. For in the end, God does not care what your religious belief is. God only cares that you reunite with the power and the conscience that God has put within you—this deeper conscience I call Knowledge.
Come to understand this and you will have the heart to forgive those who err in the name of religion. You will have the ability to understand what leads people to use religion as a weapon of war or revenge, or as a vehicle for gaining power. You will see clearly without condemnation. You will understand what is true and what is not true, what is real, what is not real, what is blessed and what is not blessed.
I call upon you to gain this strength and recognition within yourself and to come to return soul, or Knowledge, to your life and to your understanding of religion, and if you practice your religious faith and your religious tradition, to bring soul into it. For what God has put within you to follow is more important than what the world tells you you must follow, or what your mosque or temple or church emphasizes you must follow.
This is the revolution in thinking. This is what it means to follow the Holy Spirit. This is what it means to have Grace in your life, as you take the many steps it will take to learn to recognize and to follow the voice that God has put within you to recognize and to follow.
May the blessing be with you. And may the power of soul, the grace of soul and the meaning of soul be restored to the human family as it enters its most difficult time, the great times to come. For the blessing now is upon the world through God’s New Revelation, which brings clarity and purpose and meaning to all things religious, which honors all the world’s religions and emphasizes what is within them that is pure and consistent. For they are all born of God, and they have all been changed by man.
May Knowledge guide and bless you and may soul return to religion, for when this happens, religious violence will be no more.

“Your soul in your experience, living in a state of Separation, is the part of your permanent identity that has separated from God. But since you cannot completely separate from God, the part of you that did not separate from God represents your saving grace.
Reunite the soul with Knowledge and the soul is complete, and Separation within the soul has been ended. In other words, part of the soul is journeying through life as a separate entity, unaware and afraid of confronting its true reality. The part of the soul that has never left God goes along, but it is responding to something very different and is a very different kind of intelligence.
The Separation was never complete because you cannot separate yourself from your Source. Even though you may attempt to do this and invest yourself greatly in this effort, in the end, it cannot be successful.
That is why all souls, eventually in time, perhaps in the very great distant future, will reunite with God.
The moment that Separation was created, before the creation of time and space, the answer was given. The answer was given because you could not separate from God, and that is what will save you in the end. No matter what your religious affiliation or system of belief, no matter what your time, your culture—even no matter what world you exist in in the Greater Community of worlds in the universe—this is your salvation.
You return to God through Knowledge, Knowledge being the greater part of you, … that has never separated from God”

Thank you dear Marshall. This message feels so important and rings so true for me–and I hope many others. The world is being torn apart, so many are suffering and dying at the hands of those who feel they have the blessing of God on their side. I was so struck by the resonance of your words when you said, “When soul returns to religion there will be no more violence.” Only through a deeper connection to Knowledge is this possible. Thank you for the gift of Steps to Knowledge. It is a priceless gift from the Creator of all life. We are so blessed to have this preparation at this time of great religious violence.
Thank you Messenger Marshall Vian Summers! I am blessed person who live same time with modern messenger!

Look within and find all miracles , but do not seek to find anything.
Drop the mind, through Prayer ( Meditation ) the moment Original Mind manifests the Absoluteness of what it is … nothingness, but in the nothingness is the Source of knowingness that cannot be described.
Our Original Mind is in seperation from our being, so seek to remove the ego Mind and seek to see the Original face of God.
In my busy life I don’t even know who you are pastor.I don’t read things properly, there isn’t enough time but I have acute hearing and an excellent nose. I signed up one day and listen to you from time to time. You are a true man of God. I am a dissident from the Christian church but not from the pure and clean, non-denominational, non culture-specific church of the global heart after the precious heart of the one true God. Because I’ve never found a church that embraces all such cultures without thinking itself superior, I’m all alone in my epic quest. Deep thanks for coming alongside me and echoing things I know as absolute truths.Knowledge is exactly as you described. Religion is precisely as you defamed in its rampant, soulless form. God help us all. Blessings and love to you pastor and all the saints assisting your noble ministry. Much love, Marianne
Hello, Marianne. The cosmic church exists in all times and places. When you see it, you know it. On a foundational level, it is substantial and enduring. Your comment is like poetry in how many of the teachings it calls forth:
The Heart of God
many teachings on religion in Greater Community Spirituality, and teachings specific to Christianity. Shout out to anyone who can help me find where it says, if you were a Christian before finding the New Message, you will be more of one after?
Mr. Summers,
I have read a small amount of your writings (message) but a significant amount to know that while I very sharply agree with your beliefs about God, and Knowledge as well as your views on the direction that humanity is taking, I still am skeptical about the “Greater Community” you speak of in such a matter of fact manner. It took me a long time immersed in the Christian community to finally decide that we (Humans) aren’t doing it right. I had to develop a blind faith in the Holy Christian Bible in order to be, or to even feel accepted. I just can’t do that. I do know that God is there, and here with us now and always has been. That truth lives deep in my soul and will always have gratitude for God’s gifts. Like you, I just know that God doesn’t care what religion we may call ourselves, but cares that we use his gifts to lift the Human Race to greater things. However, not unlike my personal issues with faith in the Bible, or any holy book for that matter, I just can’t take your word for it that there is a Greater Community and we are in fact already being infiltrated by beings from other worlds.
Blind Faith is a real problem for me. While the existence of God is evidenced everywhere I look, clearly and without question, I see no evidence of an alien invasion. Please don’t take my lack of belief as an affront to your knowledge as you have come about it. I am very realistic. If I see it, I’ll believe it. I have a broad spectrum of beliefs. Many that go against the grain of most of humanity. My views and opinions are very much like yours. I just wish so strongly that there was clearer evidence in this Greater Community. Let me be clear. I am not foolish enough to believe that we are the only life in the universe. And I do definitely believe that we have been visited. It’s just that when I read your messages about it, I get this picture of episodes of Star Gate SG-1, or Star Wars even.
So, after that extended dialogue I’ll simply ask you, Can you produce hard evidence, or is it that in order for me to “get on board” with The Path to Knowledge, means that once again I have to just have faith that you are truly a portal through which God is relying on to get this knowledge passed along to all mankind? Therein lies my conundrum. God knows what has become of humanity and would surely realize that a much more direct and “visible” message would be more affective than choosing a single prophet that may or may not be heard and believed.
I have entered this long reply for one specific reason, which you may have already surmised. It is because (I Want) to believe you. Not to challenge you.
Regards,
Hi Michael,
I can’t speak for Marshall, but you may want to hear his latest message about “Being a Greater Community Person” http://www.newmessage.org/th_gallery/being-a-greater-community-person You may not be a greater community person, but you are here to play a small part in this very challenging leap in human evolution: our emergence into the greater community of life.
One of the things that attracted me to this group is the concept of knowledge itself detached from beliefs, religions and dogmas. I have no doubt that humanity has been the victim of a great manipulation probably carried out by extraterrestrial intelligences associated with the human species. This idea, in my case, is not the product of readings or influences outside of personal experience.
For a while I knew something was happening, that something in this world is not right. Since I knew this, I began with a personal path of “liberation” and the only absolute truth that I have found is MY BEING, since I am the interpreter of events and I seek to perfect this line of inner development. I have already discovered the psychic machinery that has handled me and I am trying to adapt it to a frequency that comes deep within me and that has an unusual language and that I just started to know. I hope to find some “data” in this place to continue my process. I believe that the last frontier and exit is in ourselves.
A pleasure to meet you all
