Joshua David Stone - Ascension and Romantic Relationships

Dr. Joshua David Stone (December 1953August 2005) was an American author, teacher and spokesperson for the ascension movement.

He worked very closely with his wife, Terri Sue Stone, who is a claraudient voice channel for the ascended masters, most specifically for the Ascended Master Djwhal Khul of Alice A. Bailey fame.

In the 1990s, Dr. Stone initiated the Wesak celebrations at Mount Shasta, California, which are annual spiritual gatherings that spawned a lot of interest and controversy in the New Age movement. The last Wesak celebration hosted by Dr. Stone at Mount Shasta took place in 2004. The Wesak celebrations in Mount Shasta are still carried on today.

Dr. Joshua David Stone was a recipient of a PhD in transpersonal psychology and was the author of a fifteen-volume Ascension Series of books, all of which are published by Light Technology Publishing.

    A Spiritual Perspective

As beings in the process of ascension, we are building our light and love quotients and becoming more and more telepathic. We are in greater touch with the many levels of the Spiritual Hierarchy, both planetary and cosmic. We are becoming soul-infused and, ultimately, united with our monad. Yet we are human beings in want of other human beings for community and companionship. We are in bodies, and those bodies have real and vital needs. Most of us must eat (though there are those few who do live on light). Most of us must sleep, and we all seek some kind of shelter from the elements. Almost all of us seek relationships of one kind or another, and many of us seek a romantic relationship of a deep and enduring nature.

This book on romantic relationships is written for those who are consciously on the path of ascension those who have moved beyond the third-dimensional thinking of the bulk of humanity. And yet, some of our basic needs are quite in stride with humanity as a whole. What is being addressed within these pages is the integration of all aspects of ourselves. To be fully divine, do we not also desire to be fully human? All of us want love, almost all of us want it from our fellow human beings, and most of us want to express it within a romantic relationship.

As lightworkers we need not, nor should we, deny this part of ourselves. In fact we should learn how best to embrace this within ourselves and with our romantic partners. But we must learn how to approach it from who we are in the vaster scheme of things, viewing through the lens of our souls and monads to brighten and heighten every aspect of our romantic relationships.

For those whose calling it is to follow the life of the celibate single, that too is fine. One then commits to the divine romance between oneself and God. Thus, the focus of this book remains on romantic relationships, and specifically the romantic relationship between two lightworkers who join their lights. However, if you are a lightworker involved with a partner who is not as accelerated as you are, this book is equally for you.
