Description: Summum is a unique philosophical and spiritual organization founded in 1975 by Claude "Corky" Nowell, who later took the name Summum Bonum Amon Ra. It is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is known for its teachings that blend elements of ancient Egyptian religion, Gnostic Christianity, and modern metaphysical thought. Summum's philosophy revolves around the concept of "Summum," which means the highest or greatest, and it emphasizes principles such as psychokinesis, correspondence, vibration, polarity, rhythm, cause and effect, and gender. The organization is also notable for its practice of modern mummification, offering this service to both humans and pets. Summum's teachings are encapsulated in their primary text, "Summum: Sealed Except to the Open Mind," which outlines their belief system and spiritual practices.
