Ann Ree Colton was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1898. She showed unusual gifts from a very early age. At age 4, she gazed at the symbols on a stained glass and experienced a "knowing" of what they meant. She realized that when she concentrated on anything with a certain fixity, that it projected its meaning to her.

From age 33, she became well known for her gifts, and people from all walks of life sought her counsel. For a period of about 15 years her appointment book was crowded with sessions, from early in the morning until late at night. She saw thousands—perhaps tens of thousands—of people with every conceivable problem.

Not unlike another American clairvoyant, Edgar Cayce, her gifts were both revered by many persons, and met with skepticism by others. The author of Edgar Cayce's biography, Thomas Sugrue, was among the many who heard remarkable stories about her. One of his interests in Ann Ree Colton stemmed from her spontaneous answers to his every question without the need to go into trance. Sugrue died before he could gather his interviews with her into a biography. Her chief student, fellow teacher, and husband of 31 years, Jonathan Murro, completed a book about her life, in what turned out to be a joint effort resulting in a combination biography/autobiography.

In 1951, a flow of ideas began to pour voluminously upon her. It became evident that she needed to conclude her work with individuals and to begin to work in a more impersonal manner, bringing a complete system that touched all persons. She said this system, Niscience, came from an actual spiritual blueprint she called an archetype. These archetypes, she said, are not the archetypes described by Carl Jung. The latter are reflections of the greater archetypes.

The system of Niscience is extensive and covers many spiritual practices, such as meditation, and also encompasses philosophy, science, art, and religion. She said the Niscience archetype was timed to the scientific age, when humankind is to extend the essential truths of old paths, but move beyond many limitations gathered over a long descent into materiality. She often called these times "the chaos before a golden age." Ann Ree Colton died in 1984.
