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

Let's see,
Rule #1. Don't drive with your elbow out the window, another car will go by and knock it off.
Rulw #2. Don't forget your galoshes, you'll catch cold.

"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.

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

Rule #3: Someday your face is going to freeze like that.
Rule #4: Red meat isn't bad for you. Fuzzy green meat is.

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.

This is their 7 Aphorisms:
I. THE PRINCIPLE OF PSYCHOKINESIS
"SUMMUM is MIND, thought; the universe is a mental creation."
II. THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE
"As above, so below; as below, so above."
III. THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION
"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates."
IV. THE PRINCIPLE OF OPPOSITION
"Everything is dual; everything has an opposing point; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes bond; all truths are but partial truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled."
V. THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM
"Everything flows out and in; everything has its season; all things rise and fall; the pendulum swing expresses itself in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates."
VI. THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT
"Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is just a name for Law not recognized; there are many fields of causation, but nothing escapes the Law of Destiny."
VII. THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER
"Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles; Gender manifests on all levels."

THE PRINCIPLE OF PSYCHOKINESIS
THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE
THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION
THE PRINCIPLE OF OPPOSITION
THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM
THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT
THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER

Works for me. Could be kind of messy in the summer though.

The funny part is that their 7 Aphorisms aren't hard to understand in the first place.

That's them alright. Weirdo Egyptian new age gnostics. In other news, here in Toronto, Scientologists are using 9 and 10 year olds to recruit. It sickened me when I saw it.

In the words of Curtis Sliwa..."that definitely is freaky-deaky"

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...
