Grace: No Longer a Fleeting Experience, Now a Reliable Presence

In 1982, a man named Marshall Vian Summers had a remarkable encounter with a mysterious voice. 

He had already left his career, his community and his home in the city and taken retreat in the deserts of the American Southwest. It was there on a quiet night that a voice came to him and instructed him to “record.”

He was instructed to begin receiving a revelation from the Angelic Presence that oversees humanity. Marshall had little idea what this would be, and yet he began to record. Three decades later, a vast spoken revelation has ensued. What started as a mysterious mandate to “record” has now revealed itself to be a New Message from God for humanity.

The following excerpts are taken from one of those occasions of revelation, now available online as Chapter 25 of Greater Community Spirituality,  What Is Grace? 

“Grace seems to come and go, a momentary experience perhaps, something that is in great contrast to the vast majority of your experiences of being in the world. But it is always there. Think of it like this: It is as if the Greater Self in you and the greater relationship that you have with others momentarily became ignited, as if the ground were illuminated one dark night by flashes of lightning, and for those moments, you realized there is so much there that you could not see before. And after the momentary flashes, you return to darkness. But Grace, for that moment, that tiny moment, has illuminated your life.” 

“You look for Grace;

you cannot find it.

You open yourself to Grace,

and it appears.

You claim Grace for yourself,

and it is nowhere to be found.

You yield yourself to Grace,

and Grace gently emerges.

You speak the truth—

the truth of what you really know,

not the truth of what you want or believe—

and Grace is standing beside you.

You look at the events of your world with compassion and deep understanding,

and Grace looks with you.”¹

“Grace must be a presence

and an intelligence that can enter into and abide

in any situation,

in any world, in any climate,

in any condition, in any culture and

in any race.

It must be something that can enter silently and abide with circumstances as they are.

It must be something that can enter at the invitation of a genuine and sincere request.

It must be something that can abide with a man or woman of Knowledge,

something that can abide with them without dominating them and

exist with them and in them without manipulating them.

It must abide with them in such a way that the authority of the person who is its recipient is not overshadowed or usurped.

Grace must be something that can be translated from one mind to another and transferred from one world to another.”¹

“Grace is evidence of a greater union and relationship that you have with others, with the world and with your Creator, but Grace also is the potency that carries great ideas and great inspiration from one mind to another. Here it is like a conduit that enables the transmission of Knowledge to pass from one mind to another.” 

“At first, it will emerge momentarily like great flashes of lightning. It will emerge momentarily like the sudden appearance of an angelic presence. It will emerge suddenly like a warm glow and a hazy feeling that you are not alone and that there is a real confirmation in what has just been said or done. You will feel it initially in a sudden feeling of rightness within yourself and in the sudden recognition and appreciation of another.”
