Joshua David Stone - 1 Sept

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.

Reverend Janna Shelley Parker is a long-time initiate of the ascended master Djwhal Khul and a former student of Hilda Charlton. Rev. Parker worked as Joshua Stones personal assistant in the Melchizedek Synthesis Light Academy and Ashram in Los Angeles, California. She teaches yoga and journal channeling and writes poetry and song lyrics.

I would like to dedicate this book to the council of masters who guide and direct all the service work in the Melchizedek Synthesis Light Ashram and Academy. This council of planetary and cosmic masters is involved with every aspect of the ashram, including the writing of all books and the yearly Wesak celebrations in Mount Shasta, California. This council of masters I lovingly call the Core 21, and it is to them that this book is dedicated: Melchizedek, Mahatma, Metatron, Divine Mother, Sai Baba, Helios and Vesta, Quan Yin, Virgin Mary, Isis, Lakshmi, Lord Buddha, Lord Maitreya, El Morya, Kuthumi, Serapis Bey, Paul the Venetian, Hilarion, Sananda, Saint Germain and Djwhal Khul.

By their grace this book you have in your hands has been brought forward. They now ask me, as this is being written, to invite you to call on them as you read these pages and integrate the information in your daily life. They also want you to know they are available to aid and assist you in every aspect of your life. All they request from you is the slightest prayer or invocation. They overlight you as you read this book and want you to know that they already surround you with their light and love, that you are already connected with them in a most deep and profound way and that this has guided you to the words within these pages.

For the sake of grammatical clarity this book has been written from the state of consciousness of the I even though there are two authors. I state this here so that there is no identity confusion and to avoid the laborious effort of constantly having to explain and qualify identities. I think that you, my beloved readers, will find that the book reads much easier and better this way.
