Elizabeth Clare Prophet shares her personal experiences with Mary and offers readers a deeper understanding of the mystic Mary and the Universal Mother that Mary represents for us all.

In every age the great spiritual teachers have established their communities--Gautama Buddha and his sangha, Jesus and his disciples, Saint Francis and his brothers. In this book Elizabeth Clare Prophet draws on the teachings of the ascended masters and her many years of experience as a leader of a spiritual community to present examples of the challenges and joys of applying universal principles of community in the real world. She said, "I wish to bring you a deeper understanding of the meaning of the flame of community. It is the flame of the Holy Spirit, hence it is the flame of love. The figure-eight flow of love that stands between the guru and the chela contains the entire community, and it contains the worldwide community of the unascended chelas of the Great White Brotherhood."

This handbook of 48 lessons outlines fundamentals of the spiritual path, with rare insights on love, mercy, brotherhood, charity, the soul, vision, mission and faith. The authors unveil new interpretations of the Bible. A perfect companion for those who would experience fully the joys and challenges of the spiritual quest. "When I was embodied as Francis of Assissi, I came to realize through studying the birds and animals that my power of concentration, saturated as it was with the love of God and his love in man, would draw me into an understanding of the God-intelligence acting in Nature." - Kuthumi Lal Singh
