Prior to the Fall, men and women lived blissfully in a golden-age paradise. Their souls evolved in love, peace and harmony, and everyone embodied the principle of being his brother's keeper. In the ages that occurred after the Fall, souls lost their moorings, their sense of unity and oneness with God.

They became increasingly aware of their sense of separation and their outer differences. Today, many only pay lip service to the principles of brotherly love. In The Path of Brotherhood, Mark and Elizabeth Prophet demonstrate how brotherhood is possible, and crucial, today. They speak of the golden-age family, and offer spiritual keys for achieving world brotherhood.
