Elizabeth Clare Prophet (1939 - 2009) was born in Red Bank, New Jersey on the eve of the Second World War. As a young girl she attended various churches in her never-ending quest to find God and a closer relationship with Jesus. Her search brought her to The Summit Lighthouse and meeting Mark L Prophet in 1960.In 1973, with the transition of Mark Prophet, Elizabeth continued the work of The Summit Lighthouse, holding conferences around the world and authoring cutting edge spiritual books until her retirement in 1999 due to health reasons.Elizabeth said of her work, "I am the servant of the light in all students of the ascended masters and in all people.My books and writings are intended to give people the opportunity to know the truth that can make them free - so they can find God without me.I do not claim to be a master nor do I claim to be perfect in my human self. I am but the instrument of the Ascended Masters.My mission is to take true seekers, in the tradition of the masters of the Far East (which Jesus exemplified), to the level of consciousness where they can meet their teachers face to face."Elizabeth Clare Prophet's books cover a wide range of spiritual subjects, from angels, ascended masters, the violet flame, karma and reincarnation, new age family life, twin flames and soul mates to using meditation and decrees to connect to your holy Christ Self and effect positive change in your world.The Summit Lighthouse continues to hold quarterly conferences on the teachings of the ascended masters at their headquarters in Corwin Springs, Montana and seminars around the world.
