PERHAPS THE FINAL VOLUME WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH CLARE PROPHET
Elizabeth Clare Prophet (1939-2009) wrote in the Introduction to this 1999 book, “During the years that I [Elizabeth] worked with Mark on the volumes of the ‘Climb the Highest Mountain’ series, I would sit in my meditation room … and Messengers of God would come to bring scrolls of concept that showed how they wanted them outlined in various chapters. The revelations were given, and they were so high that sometimes I would groan because of the influx of the concept and the consciousness of the Masters upon my consciousness. On many occasions, I had to say to the Messenger of God, ‘This is all I can take for today, I can’t take any more.’ And I experienced this bitterness in the belly, the chemicalization of Truth in my consciousness…
“The purpose of this series is to bring you to the level of attunement at which these revelations were made to me and to Mark. It is not merely to pass on to you intellectual knowledge… my goal is for your Consciousness to be raised so that you will have the same experiences that we had when we received the revelation…
“The Truth we present in this work is given in the tradition of progressive revelation… It is our great desire that the keys in these volumes lay the foundation for a golden age that will come because the students of Ascended Master Law incorporate these keys into their lives…”
I suspect that Ms. Prophet was beginning to succumb to Alzheimer's disease (she was diagnosed in November 1998) and that this book is not entirely ‘hers’ (much less Mark Prophet’s). Editor Lloyd Leiderman wrote in his Preface, “While working on these volumes with Mrs. Prophet, I have been moved and gratified at the depth of wisdom and loving understanding of the divine and human conditions they contain. Day by day, I could feel a joy bubbling within her in anticipation of the treasury of spiritual keys about to be given to spiritual seekers throughout the world.”
