Dear Dr. Joshua David Stone,
I know that you are quite busy and don’t know if I am allowed to take some of your time. So, please, if you don’t have time don’t bother answering this letter!
I am reading your Revelations of a Melchizedek Initiate (thanks so much for writing this bookJ). This book feels so right, although sometimes I get dizzy reading it…and when I was reading the introduction-part I felt like crying—though I still don’t know why.
You probably meet a lot of people who are working on their ascension…and I have a question concerning this issue: What has troubled me for quite a while now is the fact that I don’t join the excitement other people have about ascension. You know, all my lightworker-friends are talking almost about nothing else other than ascension…I’m starting to feel pretty weird! It is not that I don’t want to ascend, of course I do! But when I go within and ask why I am not working on that with all my energy, I get a feeling like “I did that before and can do it again…no need to hurry.” That makes me feel quite arrogant (is this the negative ego speaking???). I mean how can I have such a thought? It makes me feel quite silly…and I haven’t dared to tell these thoughts to anyone until now. You know, all I want to do with my whole being is help Gaia in her ascension, in balancing her energies….but I guess in order to do that effectively I should work on my ascension as well. I’m really entangled in these thoughts and can’t come up with any conclusion. Have you come across other people like this? Or is it because of this rheumatoid arthritis that—on a subconscious level—I think I won’t ascend, so don’t bother with that anyway? But in your books you wrote that even people without a perfect physical body can ascend…and deep within I know that this isn’t the reason either. I hope you can follow my thoughts, this subject is difficult for me to put in words.
I know this may sound like I just want some attention…but let me assure you this isn’t the case…I am really beginning to feel worried about me, that I’m doing something in the wrong way. I hope you don’t mind me asking this question J

Dear Friend, Greetings!
Thank you for your very sweet e-mail, kind words and sharing! It is most appreciated! I am so pleased you are enjoying my book! The tears come from touching the very deep cord of reconnecting to Melchizedek and the Ancient Order of Melchizedek, which are your true Spiritual Roots! It is the core of all religions and all Spiritual Paths and Mystery Schools! It is like coming home, so tears are most appropriate, my sweet friend!
I would humbly suggest that you also read my books Soul Psychology, The Complete Ascension Manual, Integrated Ascension, How to Clear the Negative Ego, and Beyond Ascension to get a very balanced and integrated approach to the whole subject. The dizziness you experience is that the focus of that particular book is a very high Spiritual one. This is why I want you to read some of these other books to be sure to be trained in God Realization on a Spiritual, Psychological, and Physical/Earthly level! Trust my guidance here, for you will bless me later if you do! You have tapped into a Spiritual Gold Mine of untold richness and this is why you have been guided to write!
First let me say that the arthritis or any other physical health lesson has absolutely no effect on your ascension. Be clear on this point, as I stated in my book! Your thoughts and feelings on not wanting to join are accurate, my sweet friend. You have done this before, and you are right, there is no rush. Rushing actually slows down the process. Remaining in the “Tao” is the way to Spiritually travel. It is like surfing a wave. If you go too fast you get dumped by the wave, and if you go too slow you miss the wave. Remain in the “Tao” and all will be achieved in God’s time!
Your desire to serve Gaia is noble and is as it should be. A great many lightworkers are more focused on their own personal growth and are not focused on service as they should be. Many also misunderstand Ascension. Ascension is not disappearing and leaving this world or going to GOD in the rapture. Just the opposite. True Ascension is grounding the Mighty I Am Presence and Spirit into your mental, emotional and physical body and becoming God on Earth. True Ascension is actually descension. The ideal is to fully embody the Mighty I Am Presence and to practice the Presence of God on Earth in a balanced and integrated manner. The ideal is then to not think so much about personal growth and to focus on service work to our Brothers and Sisters and Gaia. I will tell you a secret that may shock you. The Masters are not into Ascension! They are into Integrated Ascension. A great many lightworkers are focused on the Spiritual level and are very ungrounded and very fragmented psychologically and this is totally corrupting the Spiritual aspect of life! So what if you complete your seven levels of initiation but are totally run by the negative ego and are a total victim! As Sai Baba has said, “GOD equals man minus ego!”
No one will achieve full Ascension without becoming a Master of their Psychological Self and without grounding their Ascension into their bodies and their Earth life! The ideal is to bring Heaven to Earth! So being on fire for GOD is good, however, it must be done in the proper way and in a non-selfish way. By the studying of my books you will understand the Ascension process in an integrated and balanced way which will teach you to be a Master on all three levels—Spiritual, Psychological, and Physical/Earthly! Your focus will be more on service than just personal growth alone! You are on the right track, my friend! You have ascended before. This does not mean, however, that you do not have to do it this time, for you do. You just have this memory, as I do, my friend, and as many do! Continue to focus on serving self, your Brothers and Sisters and Gaia, and you will easily ascend and achieve your liberation in this lifetime! Ascension, in truth, is just achieving a certain level of light quotient and initiation. Truly becoming God Realized is much more than that! Many lightworkers of higher levels of initiation are very confused on this point and are falling from grace and are being corrupted in their work by the negative ego and fragmented understandings. It is good you have a discerning eye, my friend! You must be on fire for GOD, so their thirst and drive is good, but it must be done in the proper way. You are holding back because you want to do it in the proper way! This is good! This should clarify much, my friend! Read the books I have recommended for they will clarify much more on the same subject! Do not worry, my friend, you are on the right track! As The Universal Mind said through Edgar Cayce, “Why worry when you can pray?” You have prayed and your answer has now been forthcoming! Trust this guidance, for it comes from a very pure Source. There is much glamour, maya and illusion in the Spiritual Movement. Your holding back has been to sort out truth from illusion. Most lightworkers, with no judgment intended, are very Spiritually undiscerning and have not been properly trained in Spiritual Psychology. This is why the Masters have guided me to do the work I have, to make an attitudinal adjustment and correction in this growing imbalance in the Spiritual Movement!
Much Love,
Dr Joshua David Stone
