Joshua David Stone (7 December 1953 – August 2005) was an American author and teacher in the Ascended Master Teachings (sometimes called the Ascension Movement), a group of religions based on Theosophy. He was an influential Spiritual teacher in the Ascension Movement. Stone had a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and was a Licensed Marriage, Family and Child Counselor in California USA.
His most prominent topics were ascension and meditation techniques. He also wrote a number of books on the topic of Spiritual Psychology, and later enhanced his publications to an "Easy-to-Read Encyclopedia of the Spiritual Path" containing numerous volumes (see Bibliography). With the growing popularity of the World Wide Web, he also composed one of the more comprehensive websites on spirituality which has often been used as a point of reference on New Age topics. Furthermore, he founded an academy for spiritual studies by the name of Melchizedek Synthesis Light Academy & Ashram (MSLA) (which then later developed into the I AM University). He served as an "official" spokesperson for the planetary ascension movement and made his mark in the Consciousness Community as a prolific writer, authoring the 15 Easy to Read Encyclopedia of the Spiritual Path, published in several languages, as well as seven major Ascended Master Training Courses and several comprehensive Training Programs ranging from Channeling, the Psychology of Astrology, the Book of Life of God, to his legendary 2,000 page Counseling Manual, and much, much more. His major contributions were the propagation of the concepts of "Cosmic Ascension" and "Integrated Ascension".
In the 1990s, Stone also brought Wesak to the West, hosting Ten Wesak Celebrations in Mount Shasta, California, for thousands of people around the World. The last Wesak celebration hosted by Stone in Mount Shasta took place in 2004.
