Here we go . . . Next thing, Heaven's Gate will want a comet monument on every courthouse lawn.

Lets not forget to erect a giant bent spoon in homage to the mystical Uri Geller.

"Summum leaders believe these were initially passed only to a select few who could understand them"

In other words it's a gnostic heresy... wonderful.

[teacherwoes]

But can they prove Moses brought down the 7 Aphorisms? And what are they anyway?

[brooklyn dave]

Summum religion? Never heard of these folks? Are they a Mormon break away?

[caseinpoint]

Um, why would you want a public monument if you believed these 7 aphorisms were not for the masses but only the select few who could understand them? I know Pleasant Grove and I don't think those denizens have any mental legs up on anyone else.

[brooklyn dave]

OK not a Mormon break away....these folks like to get loaded.

I worship chocolate. Can I erect a giant bon-bon, edible of course.

Worth a visit. For nothing else but:Summum is the only organization in the world to offer the service of Modern Mummification.

Why you may ask? Well:
The Summum Philosophy embodies the Principles of Creation Itself. From Grand Cycle to Grand Cycle the fundamental esoteric teachings of the Summum Bonum are taught to select advanced souls who then progress to new spiritual levels. The last recorded reservoir of these teachings on planet Earth has been found in Egypt, a home of the pyramids.

...

Even the teachings of the Gnostic and Early Christians drew their roots from the Summum Principles. Unfortunately, these same teachings were lost at the time of Constantine whose iron hand smothered philosophy with its blanket of theology. The loss to the Christian Church was incalculable, for its very essence and spirit was gutted. Its participants were thrown into the abyss of the dark ages.

You Gnasty little Gnostics....

Bad emperor. Bad BAD!

I need to go and have a good laugh...

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I googled Summum and went to their web site. Among other things, they promote . . . mummification!

[inquest]

They're heterodox, so I expect the ACLU will be right behind them all the way.

Summum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Summum is a religion begun in 1975. The religion's "seven great principles" are known as psychokinesis, correspondence, vibration, opposition, rhythm, cause and effect, and gender. This group holds the belief that Moses was given both a "lower" and "higher" knowledge. The lower knowledge is embodied in the more widely known Ten Commandments, while the higher is expressed in what Summum knows as the "Seven Aphorisms". In this aspect, Summum resembles an esoteric religious movement.

Practice of the religion involves meditation upon these principles to develop "spiritual Psychokinesis". It appears that there is no recognized deity per se in the philosophy, but rather that we are all part of the mind of the universe and that the universe collectively constitutes something great and worthy of study and meditation.

Summum practices mummification. This service is offered to people of any religious belief with an estimated cost of $67,000. The service is even offered for pets. Since Summum does not request nor accept donations, it is probable that these mummification services are a major source of financial support. Their research into the process of mummification has assisted Egyptologists in understanding the ancient processes. The process has even been featured by National Geographic.

It has been reported that there are over 200,000 followers of Summum.

Where's the monument to Croceism?

Rule#1: You don't tug on Superman's cape
Rule#2: You don't spit into the wind
Rule #3: You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
Rule#4: And you don't mess around with Jim, da do da do...

[Reaganesque]

Apparently they're not much of a threat as they are all at home "experiencing creation". Caution: the "experience" involves holy oil, your right hand and your happy place. Click here for the messy details.
