Marshall
Vian Summers and the Allies of Humanity
by Bret
Lueder
from
BretLueder website
Born on January 28th, 1949 Summers grew up in Berkeley, California
with an Episcopalian upbringing. So the idea of spiritually advanced
beings contacting him was not exactly what he was expecting. He says
he was just living his life as a spiritual teacher in California as
a pioneer of Inner Guidance Training, making music recordings and
being a loving husband and father when he was contacted by what he
calls the Angelic Presence. He says that he has since moved to
Colorado and has written 20 books from this presence with his first
book, Steps to Knowledge, being given to him for transcription over
a 12-day period in December of ’89.
This Angelic Presence further informed Summers that he was to
prepare for a particular transmission from a group of beings who
have referred to themselves as the “allies” of humanity. So he set
up recording equipment and in Dec ’97 the first two briefings were
given with what Summers says was a “great sense of compassion.” It
gave birth to the book
The Allies of Humanity reviewed above in UFO
Magazine (Vol. 19, No. 6) and book II, given to him over a 24-hour
period in 2000, is called
The Allies of Humanity: Human Unity,
Freedom and the Hidden Reality of Contact. Book II is due out in
early ‘05. In fact, he says, he has between 500 and 1000 of hours of
recordings recorded over an almost 20-year period.
Summers was kind enough to take the time to explain to me several
aspects of the Allies’ message via telephone from his Colorado home.
What is the Way
of Knowledge?
“The Way of Knowledge is a really ancient spiritual teaching
that focuses on the greater intelligence that we all possess
that resides beneath our analytical and thinking minds. We have
our own ways of describing this, perhaps the ‘right side of the
brain,’ for example. But it is much greater than that. I say
that this is an ancient tradition because it has been practiced
in the Greater Community since time immemorial. It is certainly
an important component of any of our religious traditions like
Gnosticism. The way that this spiritual intelligence is
presented to humanity I believe is a much more complete and
dramatic way. The Way of Knowledge in its simplest form is the
way of ‘inner knowing.’ This far transcends our typical notions
of intuition.”
If shamanism and/or magic uses intention, ritual and
symbolism as tools to mentally move subtle energies, would I be
correct in describing The Way of Knowledge in these terms?
“I think you are correct in your description of shamanism but
what we are talking about here I think is something different.
The Way of Knowledge uses little or no symbolism and is not
really about sending out energies to effect change because these
methods can be used for any number of reasons or purposes both
for good or ill. The Way of Knowledge represents more of the
mystery of who we are, where we come from and why we are here.
It is about our destiny and what we have come to do here in this
world. In this Greater Community teaching there is an aspect of
our future that is connected with our life, heritage and future
within a Greater Community of intelligent life. And this extra
Greater Community dimension to our nature is really the
threshold of learning for us. It is something that our religions
have not gone into or really prepared us for. So without any
disrespect for shamanism I just wanted to make a distinction
that this does not revolve around a symbol or ritual. The Way of
Knowledge is direct action of a spiritual force that can enable
us to do remarkable and very important things. Now this can
certainly be expressed through shamanic practices and I think it
is in shamanism’s more authentic forms. But what I am talking
about can be expressed in any form of art or human endeavor.”
This sounds to me like an all-powerful creative, or Creator
force, maybe similar to what scholar Michael Tsarion describes
in his book Atlantis, Alien Visitation and Genetic Manipulation.
But I get the feeling that you intentionally do not read up on
other scholars?
“Right. Although I am a student of world religion, I have to be
careful because I am presenting something here so complete in
and of itself. It is not a patchwork of influences but rather
has its own integrity. I have to be careful not to try to tie
‘this to that’ but to really focus on presenting, as much as I’m
able, as much of the complete picture as I can of what The Way
of Knowledge and the Greater Community Spirituality are and why
they are being given at this time. I consider myself a messenger
and as a messenger I have to make sure that the message remains
undiluted even by things that I find intriguing or fascinating.
So I have had to maintain a balance about being aware of certain
things but also maintaining my awareness of what I am doing with
the Allies. So yes, I think you have made an accurate
observation.”
On page 61 of The Allies of Humanity there is an interesting
reference to religious rituals being used against humanity. It
reads, “Your spirituality must be sound. It must be based upon
real experience, for values and beliefs, rituals and traditions
can be used and are being used by your visitors for their own
purpose.” Does this mean that religious impulses and human
spirituality is being used against us?
“This is described in book II as a part of their agenda of those
extraterrestrial forces who are intervening on Earth. They
recognize that the key to human allegiance is power, wealth,
security and fulfillment. And as the Allies describe it, these
forces have no religion of their own that we could possibly
identify with. So they tend to use ours in order to condition
us, prepare us, condition our values and direct our values in
such a way that we will become naturally receptive to them. Of
course there is a great deal of literature involving UFO’s and
extraterrestrial beings and so forth, and there is an
unquestioned belief that they are enlightened beings; that they
are here to help us, enhance our genetic makeup, to uplift us,
to somehow shepherd us to some kind of higher state.
But the
Allies say very clearly that this is the deception. This is
really a misapplication of our true values and spiritual
teachings. This has a kind of ‘pacification effect’ on people. I
think if you look at the last 30 or 40 years there are some very
interesting demonstrations of this in modern religion. There is
the notion that everything happens for the greater good, nothing
that happens is an accident or that whatever you encounter is
there to serve you; these kinds of notions did not exist, or
were rarely expressed, in any religious traditions before the
end of World War II. And the introduction of these kinds of
notions seemed very comfortable and became very popular but
which in fact set you up to be very undiscerning about contact
with and the impact of greater forces coming to Earth, whether
spiritual or extraterrestrial. But this lack of discernment
becomes this very critical problem for people in trying to
understand the larger arena of events taking place. Certainly
after 50 years of UFO research, we know we are being visited and
that the government is concealing a great deal. However, it is
being able to tell the difference between a Greater Community
contact or a genuine spiritual experience that is paramount.”
Can you give me a brief description of what the Allies say is
the situation facing humanity today?
“The Allies’ briefings are attempting to do a few important
things. First of all, they are trying to give us a picture of
what life is really like in our local universe. Because we have
a very, kind of, romantic view that advanced technology equals
advanced spirituality. Or that advanced technology means that a
nation or society has achieved a certain ‘moral’ state. And this
really and unfounded assumption. The Allies are giving us a
really prosaic view of life in the Universe, it’s intelligence,
its nature. So there is that picture. Then there is the picture
of the counterpoint to the perspective of the extraterrestrial
influence of intervention, it’s impact, its designs upon
culture, religions and governments. The Allies are here as
observers not an interfering force, to promote human unity
through sovereignty and freewill, permitting that we become
educated in preparation for this contact. And that we are really
easy prey for resource explorers and others who seek resources
and other commercial interests.
A lot of energy is wasted on the
secret government cover-ups and whether the government is hiding
anything so there is a kind of gross naiveté in the UFO
community where few if anybody is asking ‘Who is really visiting
us?’ I wholeheartedly believe that our future is in space. I
believe that we are destined for many significant encounters.
However, in our current state, we are not ready to do that. We
do not have the unity, we do not have the sobriety and we do not
have the understanding of what we are dealing with out there. So
while the idea of contact is very popular and creates a lot of
excitement and enthusiasm, the preparation is just not there.
And the ones that are focused on this view do so with this
‘romantic’ lens. Yet the only thing really stopping preparation
are really bad authority figures. The important thing is that we
have a spiritual context with life beyond our world.”
And it is because of this lack of direct intervention that
we, as humans, can tell that these beings are our allies?
Otherwise one would just have to discern, or decide, for
themselves, right?
“Well, I believe that the Allies are giving us what an
intelligent race should give us and that is their wisdom and an
understanding of the threshold at which we are standing. The
Allies make this very clear that any intervention, even by your
own allies, would be a bad thing. The point is, humanity needs
to establish itself as a united race that recognizes its
vulnerability and its potential within a greater community. We
need to be able to establish our own “Rules of Engagement” and
establish the physical domains with which we have dominion; our
bodies and whether or not a race can visit Earth, or come here
and take whomever whenever they want. This is about our
sovereignty. But we have not done this yet.”
Freewill then is the test. If we do not claim our freewill
then we will lose it?
“Well, I see freewill as happening on many different levels.
Freewill, in its most complete sense, is responding to knowledge
that is within yourself. While there are many people going
around talking about freewill and how they are free, I am
talking about a kind of spiritual freedom. I am talking about a
freedom from being ruled by other minds, which is much more
significant kind of freedom. Then we can take this to the level
of humanity and say that if we don’t get our act together we
will be dominated. And this is true. The Native Americans on the
East Coast did not get their act together. They did not come
together and so failed to respond to their intervention and they
paid the price for that failure. We are currently failing to
respond to what? A very small force. And it is our failure to
respond that these Allies have come to warn us. So while it is
common to see contact with a comfortable feeling, these
briefings say something different. The way I see it today is
there are a lot of apologists for intervention and very few
critics.”
Skeptics will argue that because there is no hard scientific
research included in your book that the message should not be
taken seriously? Have you had to encounter this?
“That has happened. But at the same time there is a lot of
research to support the Allies’ message. There is the sightings
and abductions phenomena testimony from witnesses and victims
about what is being done to them aboard these craft; the genetic
manipulation. I mean, if you look at the bulk of science and
anecdotal support, you can see that there is an overwhelming
amount of support for the Allies claims. That is why you have
people at M.U.F.O.N. that say that this information really
corresponds to what their data shows. Yet no one is talking
about preparation. What we’re dealing with is very dark but no
one wants to go there.”
Humanity is being controlled?
“We are being programmed to be passive. And not only are the
Interventionists doing it but our government is doing it to us
as well. All they want us to do is go out and shop instead of
question authority. Don’t question things, just be happy. This
pacification dislodges people from who and what they are and
what they know. It assures them that everything is being taken
care of for them by somebody else, or in this case, the
extraterrestrials. I mean, this is a classic strategy. It’s not
even ingenious or creative. These are the same tactics that the
superpowers used in espionage against each other. It is clever,
yes, but ingenious? I don’t think so. In reality, the briefings
are really advocating the value of humanity, they believe in us.
But we don’t believe in ourselves. While there is an
undercurrent that humanity is destined for great things,
underneath it all we’re really crumby; there is a real cynicism
there. And it is unfounded and it is ridiculous. If we do not
have this perspective what good are seeing more evidence of
sightings?”
The Allies claim that humans do not possess the skills of
discernment, that we can not tell the difference between a
communication from one of these interventionist extraterrestrial
races and a genuine spiritual experience, nor can humans tell
the difference between an indigenous human and one of the
hybrids that have been created through the interventionists
ongoing interbreeding program. So how do we gain these skills of
discernment?
“This is what the Greater Community Way of Knowledge is all
about. It is direct contact with knowledge. That’s what it is,
when you know something, you know. You can feel it. If you’re
really connected with this, and this is what I write about in
Steps to Knowledge, is developing this connection so that you
cannot be deceived. You will be able to look at two things and
be able to tell if something is wrong or something is right.
Your innate spiritual intelligence will tell you. This is the
greater spiritual intelligence within each of us. If that level
of discernment is not there then you are going on assumptions
and appearances.”
You said that you felt that there are aspects of magic and/or
shamanism within the bigger umbrella that is The Way of
Knowledge. Could it be seen then that the many culturally
stylized forms of indigenous shamanism from around the world are
the fragments from a split of The Way of Knowledge from a remote
time in Earth history?
“That’s good. Just think of The Way of Knowledge as the power of
the force that enables the shaman to become the shaman. Or
enables someone else to receive the shamans power. Shamanism is
then an expression of this Knowledge. It becomes the technology
through which Knowledge can flow. This goes back to Christian
mysticism, or Gnosticism; whatever enables you, or empowers you
within, to know something fundamental about your life and your
world.”
You mention in The Allies of Humanity that we have direct
connections with relatives from other planets?
“The teachings of the Greater Community Way of Knowledge talk
about the ties to spiritual families which means that we have
intrinsic relationships with other individuals in this world and
in other worlds. And in fact, our entire history of evolution as
individuals has not only already occurred on this world but in
other worlds as well. So we have an inherent relationship; a
spiritual, physical, evolutionary one, within the Greater
Community. But again we have to come back to the ‘real’ world,
the competitive environment we live in. We have to see that
advanced technology does not provide for the necessities of
life. The races that come here come with their own sets of
problems and choose to explore space for their own benefit.
Where as we as the native peoples of Earth, tend to think as
native peoples often do, that we are the center of the Universe
and that everything revolves around us. So that if we are being
visited it is because they are here to nurture us or help us.
History has proven this to be a false assumption.”
Right, conquest in America proved this. So there seems to be
lessons to be learned from the history and experience of
American Indians in relation to the situation today as outlined
by the Allies?
“I’m really with you on the American Indian thing. For whatever
reasons, when conquest took place the many tribes did not stand
together. Many of their cultures were eventually destroyed along
with entire tribal populations. They were devastated. But this
is exactly what the Allies are saying, that we are the
indigenous Earth beings. All humans are indigenous to Earth.
Humanity is now playing the role of the American Indians, so
we’re all in the same boat. So our past now becomes a resource
from which we can draw upon. The American Indian experience has
demonstrated, among other important things, that intervention is
real destructive. And the integrity and even survival of any
native race is put at immense risk from an imposing force who
proclaims themselves ‘benevolent’ but are in fact
‘exploitative.’ And as we know the history and culture of these
peoples has been totally devastated. So when we talk about
‘contact,’ we must look at the Native American experience and
see intervention as disastrous. Otherwise these intervening
forces believe that they are bringing salvation, or
civilization, or advancements, and they often appeal to the
native peoples in this way. But the reality is quite the
opposite.”
Then the part that really got me was that the Allies say the
same thing as Ronald Reagan did to the UN council back in the
‘80’s where he alluded to the idea that if an alien presence
came to Earth, how the people of Earth would unite under the
common threat?
“Yes. The Allies say that this is the one thing that can unite
humanity. So although this intervention is extremely dangerous
there is this positive aspect. See, if a house is on fire and
we’re all in it, and we know it is burning, we will all work
together to put out the fire. So what I’m trying to do is to
tell people that, ‘The fire is already burning and we had better
work together to put it out before it is too late.’ Again,
Discernment is the key and only with the power of Knowing can
humanity regain control of its destiny. So in the end I think
the briefings are really about restoring human value of
themselves, self-esteem. And if we do not have this in our
universe we’re fair game; fair play. Look we’re sitting here on
this gorgeous planet with immense biological diversity. We’re
the natives with an enormous amount of wealth. If we don’t
reclaim it we will lose it forever.”
