The purpose of life is to realize God and attain God Consciousness. Said another way, the purpose of life is to become an Integrated Ascended Master.

However, unfortunately most people have forgotten about the meaning and purpose of life and are lost in materialism, sensual pleasure and sensationalism! They live for what is transitory instead of for what is eternal!

They waste their time with gossip, TV and hedonism, and in their longing for material wealth they have suffocated the longings of the Soul. This is the sad status quo of human mass consciousness today.

Most people literally waste their lives. They don’t see the opportunity, purpose and gift of human birth.

The question is, will we also waste the rest of our lives and just delay the inevitable? Or are we ready to make a commitment RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW to the longings of our Soul that yearns for union with the Divine?

The Integrated Ascended Master spends his time wisely. As the Sai Baba Gita says, “Time wasted is life wasted.”

Author's Bio: 

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.
