>David, Mike and Lisa Bronner grew up in Glendale, not giving much thought to the prospect of one day taking over the family business and generally regarding their grandfather as a bewildering figure.

>“My granddad was always talking about uniting ‘Spaceship Earth,’ and it was kind of sailing over our heads,” David said.

>“He’d be talking to us as if we were all PhD students in religious studies,” Mike said of visits to Emanuel’s home when the siblings were in elementary school. “He was blind, and every once in a while he would say, ‘Are you there?’ and we’d be like, “All-one, Grandpa!’ And he’d be like, ‘Very good. OK, I want you to recite the peppermint bottle.’”

>The label on the quart size of the Lavender Pure-Castile Magic Soap holds the greatest insight for me into his motivations and goals.

>"To keep my health! To do my work! To love, to live!"

>"Great peace is found in little busyness."

>"Work well yourself and work for all."

>"Til we rally, raise, unite!"

>"All-One-God-Faith, All-One! Unite!"

>"Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime."

>"Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal."

>"Let us then be up and doing ... still achieving, still pursuing"

>"In all we do, let us be generous, fair & loving to Spaceship Earth and all its inhabitants."

>"We're ALL-ONE OR NONE! ALL-ONE!"
