The dark side of the lighthouse

"The Enemy Within" is a book containing writings and speeches of Mark Prophet, Elizabeth Clare Prophet and some of their purported ascended masters (including Jesus). The Prophets were founder-leaders of The Summit Lighthouse a.k.a. Church Universal and Triumphant, a somewhat controversial religious group. Some people regard it as an outright cult.

I can't say that I liked this book. The material is rambling, unsystematic and highly eclectic. Elizabeth Clare Prophet blends Catholic Christianity, Gnosticism, Buddhism, Theosophy and conspiracy theories about UFOs in a bewildering way. The general tone of "The Enemy Within" is negative. Judgment Day is approaching soon, many of the faithful have fallen away and become black magicians, many reincarnated souls have become cynical and no longer believe in God, etc. There's an entire hierarchy of evil, and the fallen angels have visited Earth in their space craft. Many world leaders are really "Nephilim gods", i.e. fallen angels masquerading as humans. The Nephilim also have the ability to clone themselves and create Mechanization Man. Millions of these fake humans roam our planet. They are willing to obey their "gods" and spread murder, mayhem and fanaticism. The faithful are warned about apostates and traitors from their own ranks, and sternly told to obey the guru (presumably Elizabeth Clare Prophet herself). This is presumably the mentality which led Prophet and her followers to stash guns and build deep air raid shelters at the "Royal Teton Ranch" in Montana about 25 years ago...

I can't say that I liked this book. This is the dark side of The Summit Lighthouse.
