Elizabeth Clare Prophet

            Elizabeth Clare Prophet is a mystic, writer, lecturer and spiritual teacher. But first and foremost she is a messenger for enlightened spiritual beings called ascended masters. As a messenger she is both spokesperson and scribe—she speaks and writes down the words of the masters. In this role, she has recorded some of the world's most profound and beautiful spiritual teachings.

           The vast body of work that she has produced includes more than 1,800 messages, or "dictations," that come through the agency of the Holy Spirit from various ascended masters, archangels and other advanced spiritual beings.

           She and her late husband, Mark L. Prophet, have published more than 75 books on the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. She has lectured widely throughout the United States and in 28 countries, speaking in more that 150 cities on six continents. Some of her favorite topics are soul evolution, angels, twin flames and soul mates, prophecy, spiritual psychology,karma and reincarnation, and techniques to balance karma, especially by using a spiritual energy known as the violet flame.

           In recent years she has made a systematic effort to make the mystical paths of the world's religions accessible to spiritual seekers and has lectured on Buddhism, mystical Christianity, gnostic Christian texts, Hinduism, Kabbalah (mystical Judaism) and Taoism.

           Elizabeth Clare Prophet is a pioneer of modern religious thought and has led an extraordinary life. She was born Elizabeth Clare Wulf in Red Bank, New Jersey (U.S.A.), in 1939 to a German father and Swiss mother. After she completed her French studies in Switzerland, she attended Antioch College, a progressive institution of higher learning, in Ohio. She later transferred to Boston University, where she received a bachelor of arts degree in political science.

           Her spiritual quest sprang from a childhood recollection of a past life. She attended the Catholic church, the Jewish synagogue and every Protestant church in Red Bank and later studied the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy. She also studied the writings of Mohandas Gandhi, Albert Schweitzer and Norman Vincent Peale—her modern-day heroes.

           When she was 18, she had an experience that changed her life. She opened a book and saw a picture of the Ascended Master Saint Germain. She looked into his eyes and recognized him as "the oldest friend I had ever known." It was an electrifying experience. She realized that she had a mission to perform for Saint Germain. "I have to find this master," she said. "I have to work for him."

           On April 22, 1961, she attended a meeting of The Summit Lighthouse, where she met its leader, her future teacher and husband, Mark L. Prophet. Mark was a Messenger for the Ascended Masters. Under the direction of his teacher, the Ascended Master El Morya, Mark trained Elizabeth to be a Messenger too.

           Mark and Elizabeth were married in 1963, had four children, and together built The Summit Lighthouse, an organization that Mark had founded in 1958 to publish the teachings of the Ascended Masters.

           In July 1964, Saint Germain anointed Mrs. Prophet as Messenger for the Great White Brotherhood, a spiritual order of Western saints and Eastern masters to which all ascended masters belong. (The term white refers to the white light that surrounds the aura of these immortals, not to race.)

           In 1970, the Prophets founded Montessori International, a school based on the principles of the acclaimed educator Dr. Maria Montessori, to give children a learning environment in which they could best realize their inner potential. Under Mrs. Prophet's direction, the school experimented with innovative learning methods. Today the curriculum includes the techniques of Dr. Montessori, Glenn Doman and Marva Collins and the Spalding method of phonics.

           In 1995, Gordon Dryden, an award-winning journalist and coauthor of The Learning Revolution, visited the school as part of a four-year-long search for the world's best methods of early childhood development. "I've visited preschool centers and early childhood centers around the world," he said. "Montessori International is probably the best I've seen. Certainly it's one of the two or three best in the world."

           In 1971, Mark founded Summit University for those who wanted to study the mystical paths of the world's religions and gain a deeper knowledge of the teachings of the ascended masters.

           Mrs. Prophet carried on Mark Prophet's work after he died in 1973.

           Today Elizabeth Clare Prophet is president of The Summit Lighthouse, Summit University Press and Summit University and is the spiritual head of Church Universal and Triumphant. The church was founded in 1974 to meet the deeper spiritual needs of those who wanted to apply the teachings of the Ascended Masters.

           Over the years, The Summit Lighthouse has grown from a tiny organization with a handful of members to an international organization with approximately 200 groups located in the United States and 38 other countries.

           In addition to publishing and lecturing, Prophet has talked about her life, work and teachings on numerous radio and TV programs. In 1977, she was featured on "The Man Who Would Not Die," a program about Saint Germain produced by Alan Landsburg and narrated by Leonard Nimoy as part of Nimoy's "In Search of" series that was broadcast NBC in the United States. More recently she has appeared on "Larry Live," "Sonya Live," "CNN & Company," quot;Donahue" and "Nightline" and was featured on NBC's "Ancient Prophecies."

          Clare Prophet is the founder of a spiritual community in the States located on the Royal Teton Ranch in the northern Rockies next to Yellowstone National Park.

           There are four conferences held annually at the Ranch in Montana.
