Introduction To The Ashram Of Lord Maitreya

By Dr Joshua David Stone

Lord Maitreya holds the inner plane Spiritual governmental position called the “Planetary Christ within the Office of the Christ!” In this position Lord Maitreya is head of the Spiritual Hierarchy. His job basically is to help manifest the Divine Plan on Earth and to help all souls on Earth become “Integrated Christs through whatever path they choose!”

Lord Maitreya in his past life was Krishna, the great Avatar of Hinduism. It was Lord Maitreya who overlighted Master Jesus along with the Christ, the second aspect or level of the Trinity! Most of the famous quotes of Jesus were channelings of Jesus, of Lord Maitreya the Planetary Christ and of the Christ himself! At the crucifixion, Jesus took his fourth initiation and Lord Maitreya took his sixth initiation or ascension initiation.

In the early 1900’s, which began with the Theosophical Movement of Madam Blavatsky, was the first dispensation of Ascended Master Teachings. This work was carried on by Leadbeater and Annie Besant! The Second dispensation of Ascended Master teachings was that of the Alice Bailey books channeled by the Ascended Master Djwhal Khul. The third dispensation of Ascended Master teachings was that of Saint Germain’s channelings through Godfrey Ray King called the I Am Discourses. Djwhal Khul prophesized in the Alice Bailey books in the 1940s, that a fourth dispensation of Ascended Master teachings would come to pass at the turn of the century. Djwhal and the Masters told me that my humble 40 volume Ascension Book Series and the Correspondence Courses and Training Programs were the Fourth Dispensation of Ascended Master Teachings that were prophesized at that time.

Now one of the plans that was in the works during the first two dispensations of Ascended Master Teachings was that Lord Maitreya would either incarnate as the return of the Christ to Earth, or he would choose to overlight a master to bring in the Aquarian Age, as he did for the Piscean Age 2000 years ago, for Lord Maitreya was the Master Jesus’ teacher! Lord Maitreya, as head of the Spiritual Hierarchy, is the Master of Master and Teacher of Teachers! In Buddhism it was prophesized that he would come again as Buddha Maitreya as well!

The original plan that was created was that he would not incarnate physically, for there was concern that if he did incarnate either through a baby’s body or just materialize a body, 90 percent of the world would reject him and the other 10 percent would put him on a pedestal and hence, not focus on the Christ within! So the plan was adjusted to have Lord Maitreya overlight Krishnamurti! He was found by Blavatsky and Leadbeater and was trained to be the next World Teacher overlighted by the Christ, Lord Maitreya! However, things did not go according to plans and Krishnamurti, upon reaching adulthood pretty much rejected the Ascended Masters, which of course was his free choice! So after that the plan to physicaly incarnate was considered again, but for the reasons already mentioned, this plan was discarded and Lord Maitreya decided to remain in the Spiritual world. Lord Maitreya has never ever been incarnated in London, he is not physically in London now and will not be incarnating into London or any place else in the future. Lord Maitreya has always been spiritually and etherically available, but never ever physically incarnated on the Earth as a great many people have been led to believe! It is Lord Maitreya’s wish at this time in the history of the Earth, to begin this new Aquarian Age Cycle, that this be clarified in people’s understanding. This is one of a great many glamours and illusions of the New Age Movement, of good and well meaning people, who were tuning into a past plan, that was never made manifest. As I have said many times, people do not see with their eyes, they see with their minds! They are tuning into what they want to see rather than seeing what is really there. A good lesson in Spiritual discernment for us all, my friends! Lord Maitreya, after I wrote this, told me personally that he was very appreciative that I clarified this once and for all, for it was time to do this. For those who have the eyes to see and the ears to hear, they will know and see the truth of Lord Maitreya’s and my words in this matter. It is not good to waste time and energy in illusions. This is why spiritual discernment is one of the most important qualities everyone in this world needs to develop. Just as the negative ego mind has corrupted religions, it has also corrupted the New Age Movement to a great extent, and we all know this! Again, the people involved with this are very good and well intentioned people and have a lot of excellent information, however, this particular piece of information is an illusion and Lord Maitreya has guided me to make this known at this time! It is because he is not in this world, that he has chosen the vehicle of the I AM University along with the other Ascended Masters to further their collective message!

In June of 2004, to my complete surprise, Lord Maitreya asked me if I would be interested in taking over the Spiritual Leadership position of “Office of the Christ and Planetary Christ and leadership of the Spiritual Hierarchy for my Lifewave” in the future when he moves on to his next Cosmic Position! I humbly accepted, after some consultation about the details with Lord Maitreya and Master Kuthumi. The arrangement within the Divine Plan that was set up was that the Masters told me they would like me to remain on Earth for 50 more years to finish my work as World Teacher and to anchor the Office of the Christ on Earth in the form of the I Am University. Then I must finish and complete my responsibilities of the Synthesis Ashram which the Ascended Master Djwhal Khul turned over to me on the inner and outer plane in June of 2003. When my work is completed there and my training is complete from Lord Maitreya, then when Lord Maitreya is ready to move to his next Cosmic Position on the Great White Lodge on Sirius or wherever he is planning on going, I will humbly become the next Planetary Christ within the Office of the Christ and head of the Spiritual Hierarchy for this Lifewave! This was not something I ever thought about or even desired. It came as a total shock to me when Lord Maitreya asked me to do this! It did fit my essence, for even my present work is helping people to become fully realized Christs and Integrated Ascended Masters, as you all know. The Synthesis nature of the position fits me as well. I have been working with the Ascended Masters for 30 years. It really felt right, so I accepted. So Lord Maitreya has asked me to anchor the Office of the Christ on Earth right now as well as the inner plane Synthesis Ashram, under the umbrella of the I Am University which officially being launched as of August 2004. The Master Jesus and Lord Maitreya have told me that they will Overlight me, as Jesus was Overlighted by Lord Maitreya 2000 years ago, which is all very humbling to say the least. I am also overlighted by God, Christ and the Holy Spirit, and Melchizedek, Mahatma and Metatron as I have been the last ten years in running the former MSLA! So as we can see from this story Lord Maitreya and the inner plane Ascended Masters are very flexible. If things don’t work out like with Krishnamurti, they improvise and come up with new plans that fit the times. The original plan was that Master Kuthumi the Chohan of the Second Ray, was going to be the next Planetary Christ, however, when I humbly stepped forward in Spiritual Leadership and showed myself capable and worthy enough the plan was changed! Master Kuthumi told me that this new plan actually frees him to go with Lord Maitreya and leave the Cosmic Physical Plane altogether, so I have done him a service! Lord Maitreya and Master Kuthumi told me that it is time for the next Lifewave to take over these inner plane governmental positions. For whatever reasons, I was the most qualified to take over the position of Planetary Christ within the Office of the Christ! Part of this was because I had humbly achieved my 22 levels of initiation which is the marker one must achieve to become a realized Planetary Christ while still on Earth. What I need to share with you all is that Lord Maitreya and Master Kuthumi told me that the plan is that almost all the Masters of the previous lifewave are planning to leave eventually and are looking for suitable replacements from the next lifewave! So there are other Spiritual Leadership positions available my friends! I was the first to step forward in such a large scale fashion, however, there are tons of other spiritual leadership positions available for those who mold themselves into Integrated Ascended Masters, and step forward in Spiritual Leadership! As the Master Jesus said, “Everything that I have done you can do and more!” The eventual plan is to have all the Seven Chohans, the Manu, the Mahachohan, the Synthesis Ashram when I move to my next position in the Office of the Christ, to be taken over by qualified people from our next lifewave! This is why Spirit, the Masters and I are encouraging you to study the correspondence courses, training programs, and workbooks, for these share with you how to become an “Integrated Ascended Master,” I Am Master and full realized Integrated Christ in the quickest and fastest possible way. The I Am University is a crash course training school to create spiritual leaders and Integrated Ascended Masters and I AM Masters! Eventually people from this next lifewave have to step forward and I was the first to do this in a major way. This is available to anyone, for I am not special. As Djwhal Khul said in the Alice Bailey books, sometimes the genius is surpassed by the average man or woman because of the hard work and work ethic. I am not saying I am an average man and I am not saying I am a genius, what I am saying is that I have loved God and the Masters for the last 30 years like a drowning man wants air! If you love God that much and are willing to get rid of all your false gods, little gods, idol worship, adulterous lovers in a symbolic sense, and get rid of the pearls of lesser price, as my good friend Quan Yin likes to say, and get rid of the lesser doors and walk through the “open door which no man shall shut!” you too shall achieve your Integrated Ascended Master Status, Planetary Christ Realization and be offered Spiritual Leadership positions! I have spent the last 30 years of my life following the biblical adage, “Seek ye the Kingdom of God and all things shall be handed unto thee!” I put all my eggs in God’s basket and burned all my bridges, seeking only this! Thirty years later I seem to be reaping the fruits of my efforts, even though I have lived my life following the teachings of Krishna, Lord Maitreya’s past life when he said, “Do not be attached to the fruits of your service!” I never sought or even thought about any of these Spiritual Leadership positions. I was perfectly happy doing what I was doing for all I really cared about was God and co-creating with the Ascended Masters. However, God and the Masters seem to have had other plans for me. Well my friends, they have other plans for you as well if you apply yourself. Be about the Father’s business and don’t waste your time on things that are not of God and not of the Ascended Masters’ work! So anyway, I am very pleased to have the opportunity to share the story of Lord Maitreya, for he is not as well known as he should be for he has worked behind the scenes a little bit. It is time the full and truthful story of Lord Maitreya be told. For he is the Master of Masters and Teacher of Teachers. I am humbled beyond words that he has offered me the future Spiritual Leadership position of his present post. As I have said in other places, I will never be able to do as good as job as he has done, however, I have promised him I will make him proud!
