Welcome to Summum!

On the smallest scale, the cosmos reveals to us a world filled with
quanta particles; on the largest, a universe of stars and galaxies -- and in
between are myriad degrees of life and intelligence and all their characteristics.
The progression is infinite.

Are we then to believe ourselves alone in the vastness of creation or perhaps
even the crown of it? Is it so inconceivable to imagine that others have
progressed beyond our current level of technological and spiritual means?

The beginnings of a new cycle...
In the fall of 1975, Claude "Corky" Rex Nowell (Founder) began to have a series of encounters
with highly intelligent beings who he now refers to as the Summa Individuals. He
describes them as beings who untiringly work the pathways of spiritual evolution,
and who were referred to as the "Neters" in the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
During his encounters, he received instructions concerning the underlying
principles (Laws of Nature) which establish and maintain the universe. During these
same encounters, the Summa Individuals would change his name to:
(Aman)
(Amen)
(Amin)
Summum Bonum (Amon) Ra
(Amun)
Soon after his initial experience, Corky founded
a non-profit organization, giving it the name "Summum," a Latin term meaning "the
sum total of all creation." The principles introduced to him were described as a
"neverending story" and form the foundation for the philosophy of Summum. They are
nothing new and have always existed. As an eternal work, these principles were
presented to Corky who in 1980, would legally change his name to Summum Bonum Amon Ra
for governmental purposes and to reflect his spiritual path. He generally goes by Corky Ra.
The principles upon which the Summum philosophy is based cannot be
accredited to any one person or human source including Amen, for they represent
the workings of Creation Itself. These principles are formulated through nature
and are nature. They cannot be ascribed to any type of god or human. Rather, they
are the cause of gods, humans, and all that exists. The Summum philosophy explains
the Grand or First Cause that is looked for in the questions, "What caused the
Big Bang?" "Where did God come from?" "Who am I?" "Why am I here?" Understanding
the Principles of Creation is the master key to answering
these questions, to the knowledge of creation and evolution, and to the
reconciliation of all religion, science, and philosophy.
Here at Summum, our aim is to provide a forum for those of you searching
for a comprehension of creation so that you can receive the keys to that
understanding; and use those keys in order to reconcile the many bits of
religious, philosophical, and scientific knowledge that you may have acquired, but
which may not satisfy your understanding of the whole of existence. We stress the
application of the Systematic Law of Learning to all the
principles in order for you to assess real understanding as opposed to mere faith
or belief. Belief in anything is a state of ignorance about reality, and the
principles must be experienced to be understood. Summum provides the instruction
and methods for you to gain that experience.
Nectar and meditation, sexuality and mummification...
Then throw in a pyramid for an eclectic, dynamic mix.
The Summa Individuals gave Amen instructions to build pyramids and produce
Nectar Publications, specially created by
sacerdotal worship within a pyramid that disciples
of the philosophy transform through psychokinesis and imbue with conceptual
information. It is the true meaning of Transubstantiation for we take ordinary
ingredients and transmute them into living knowledge. One consumes the holy nectars in
a small amount just prior to meditation. Our work centers around the
Summum Transcending Meditations,
an important aspect of the philosophy. Meditation is the means to ascend your
consciousness and bring you into direct contact with your spirit. The Summum
Meditations allow your personal ascension as quickly as possible.
One of the methods of meditation we promote is the Meditation of Sexual Ecstasy. Summum views the basis and foundation of
all creation as a copulation between two subjective states referred to as the
"Grand Opposites," and accordingly, maintains that everything is an effect of
this grand copulation. As such, Summum treats sexuality as a divine and
integral part of spiritual evolution and defines "ecstasy" as "the state of
union with God." The teachings surrounding this meditation are that all
progression and evolution is effected through sexual ecstasy. From the smallest
subatomic particle to the highest forms of life, every element, at its level of
consciousness, experiences sexual ecstasy in its bond-making and bond-breaking.
This meditation, along with the other meditations taught at Summum, awakens you
to your spirit. Awakening you to your spirit is what Summum considers to
be genuine religion.
During the mid-1980s, we reintroduced the art of Mummification,
another aspect of the Summum philosophy. Mummification was common among many
cultures until the onset of the Dark Ages caused this form of care to eventually
stop. It was an art practiced by early Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Egyptians,
and other religionists; not so much for mere preservation of the body, but for
the effect that preserving the body has on the spirit of the deceased as the
spirit makes the transition from this life to a new state of being. Mummification
allows for permanent preservation of the body so that the soul of the departed
can be guided by means of the science known as "Transference." Through the Rites
of Passage, the departed spirit is assisted in its evolution by guidance from
those still embodied and those spirit guides working the pathways of spiritual
evolution. And to round things out, Mummification lends itself to
Sumsoshoeugenics, cloning for
the specific purpose of spiritual progression.
Take the next step...
The Summum philosophy is nothing new. It is as old as time and has been
practiced by many people throughout history. This religion, its forms of
worship and ceremonial practices, the use of sacred elixirs created with
special fruits, plants, and other essences, has existed from the beginning.
Through the reincarnation of an incarnate Master, the flame of Summum burns
on. Although Summum has not always been "registered" with governments and
nations, it has always existed. And this guarantees the right for us and
others to practice this mode of religion -- of meditation using "elixirs of
life." Summum is a way of life that will allow you to experience levels of
knowledge and understanding, of joy and happiness, that would otherwise
remain unknown to you.
Nevertheless, we do not ask you to believe anything presented here. To
reiterate, belief is a state of ignorance about reality. Everything you've read
here is just an expression of something that has to be experienced to be
understood. We suggest to you that Summum offers powerful tools that will
dissolve your beliefs about reality and give you an experience of it. We
encourage you to submit yourself to the systematic law of learning and test the
validity of this for yourself.
Take the next step in your growth and evolution and discover the profound
beauty of the Summum philosophy.
