The astral plane is a world unto itself. It is much like the physical plane except that things have a greater lustre.
A very, very long time ago when humanity was still very unevolved, one could travel at night to the astral plane (in the astral body) to receive learning and do service work. However, this is not true anymore today. The astral plane is actually a very unevolved plane and no one who is sincere about their Spiritual path goes there except for helping those who are trapped there.
As we go through our initiations into higher levels of love and light, we purify our thinking and feeling nature and learn to master our minds and emotions. As plane after plane is mastered, so the very substance composing those planes and bodies is likewise elevated and ascended in this process.
Said another way: as we each learn to master our feelings and emotions, we are not only purifying our own emotional bodies but we are actually helping to purify the entire astral or emotional plane.
The Integrated Ascended master realizes the astral plane as an illusionary plane and makes a conscious effort to master and purify his feelings and emotions.
Dr Joshua David Stone
was one of the most influential Spiritual teachers, leaders and forerunners of our time. He had a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and was a licensed Marriage, Family and Child Counselor in California, USA.
He served as Official Spokesperson for the Planetary Ascension Movement and made his mark in the Consciousness Community as a prolific writer, authoring the 15-volume Easy to Read Encyclopedia of the Spiritual Path, published in several languages, as well as eight 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.
Today, the I AM University is the one and only Integrated Ascended Master Training Facility in this world. It stands firmly on the foundation of a comprehensive and ever-expanding curriculum which Dr Stone dedicated his life creating.
In 2005, Dr Joshua David Stone passed over to the Spirit world where he continues to Spiritually support the expansion of the I AM University the continuation of which he entrusted into the hands of Gloria Excelsias, his long-term personal assistant and protégé.
Dr Stone is one of the most widely read authors in the New Age Movement and known as the world’s most trusted source for integrated Spiritual development. http://www.iamuniversity.org
Gloria Excelsias is the President of the I AM University, an educational institution with focus on Spiritual and psychological development that was founded by the late Dr Joshua David Stone in 2004 and handed over to her care and leadership in 2005, at Dr Stone’s passing. As Dr Stone’s personal assistant, close friend and protégé, she received ongoing personal training in applied transpersonal psychology and integrated ascension which would prepare her consciousness for her later service work as the University’s President. Having moved the I AM University from California to Salzburg, Austria, her native country, she is now passionately dedicated to running and evolving the I AM University as an inspired writer and speaker, placing thematic priority on Spiritual psychology, the re-integration and updating of ancient occult teachings and the overall unfoldment of human consciousness.
