About Tony Stubbs
Tony was born in England and, after graduating in electronics
in 1969, worked in the British telecommunications industry. He
emigrated to the U.S. in 1979 and soon became an independent business
and computer consultant. In 1985, he began his writing career
by ghostwriting books on computer system design, and then broadened
into becoming a multi-genre independent publishing consultant,
editor and book designer.
After a period of living in Mexico, where he was the editor
of an English daily newspaper, Tony moved to Denver, Colorado,
where he resumed publishing consulting and started a computer
school. He continued with his desktop publishing business while
teaching at a local university and computer school in Denver.
In the meantime, New Leaf published his definitive, landmark book
An Ascension Handbook, which is still
a perennial metaphysical best-seller.
Tony then moved to California to join Oughten House Publications
as Editor-in-Chief and Director of Operations, producing many
fine spiritual books and lecturing on all aspects of publishing.
When Oughten House closed, he resumed his career as an independent
consultant to authors and small publishers on writing, editing,
self-publishing and book production.
He went on to write the 800-page blockbuster Living
with Soul, Volumes 1 and 2 (see LivingWithSoul.com),
followed by It’s All About Control,
and his latest book Death Without Fear
(see
DeathWithoutFear.com). He has just finished building
All-About-Soul.com, a huge web site covering most aspects
of spirituality.
His latest achievement is the compilation of the six out-of-print
books by Monsignor Robert Benson dictated from the other side
50 years after his death, and arguably the best ever source of
information about the afterlife.
Over the years, Tony has also ghostwritten several metaphysical
and scientific books, has edited and designed several hundred
books for clients, and has written a regular newspaper column
for authors titled “So You Want to Write a Book ….”
He currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he is active
in the thriving metaphysical community. His publishing web site
is tjpublish.com.

TONY'S BLOG:
Hello All ~
I just had to post this. I am such a HUGE fan of Mr. Tony Stubbs!!! I am so thankful he is one of my Teachers who is still alive and well today. I feel truly graced and blessed to know him and call him my Friend.
I am honored that he is a part of The Dream Masters. You can read more on his home page by clicking his name above.
His book, AN ASCENSION HANDBOOK, is how I first became aware of Tony and his amazing work. His other works are just as spectacular and his work is very vital to humanity in helping us in ways beyond words. His talents and works are too numerous to list here but I will share with you one of his recent blogs that I enjoyed. I cannot tell you how many talks I've given on this topic. Just something to consider...
Here is the link to his blog for more great reading.
Here is his July 15, 2009 entry:
God an Extraterrestrial?!
It finally happened. Today I saw a History Channel documentary exploring whether the God of the Old Testament was actually an extraterrestrial with powerful high-tech and his base on Mt. Sinai. For those who have read my two-volume Living with Soul know I’ve been saying this for years.
If anyone is in denial about the reality of ETs, I feel sorry for you. It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee. Start with this little story. Dr Richard Boylan put out an email today talking about a lady called June Crain who used to be a secretary with Q-clearance at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in a top secret government laboratory from 1943-1953, the years that bracket the 1947 Roswell incident. When asked about Roswell, she was always in denial out of fear of arrest. Then, in 1997, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and finally admitted, “UFO's are real and the Government knows all about it.” By the time she left her job there, she’d worked on three UFO retrievals and their associated cover-ups, and actually handled a piece of the weird ‘memory metal.’ So now do you believe?
Imagine a species of ET that has a million years head start on us in terms of science and technology. It’s quite possible since the universe is about 15 billion years old, and our species is only 500,000 years old, so we’re really late bloomers. Then imagine those ETs back in the days of the Old Testament. So, of course, the locals back then thought the ETs were gods … and the ETs did nothing to stop them because they were getting really good room service – sacrifices, tributes, slave labor and their chicks for free. “The Elohim looked upon the daughters of men and found them fair.” I’ll bet they did, after all, guys will be guys regardless of species, although we did look alike because they helped genetically modify our body type: “Let us make man in our image.” Note the plural ‘us.’ Mystery solved.
The documentary explained that the Bible has been hopelessly compromised over 2,000 years through incompetent translation and outright malfeasance. For example, the original word for ‘heaven’ was simply ‘sky,’ with no supernatural meaning at all. So of course ETs lived in the ‘heaven.’ And the word God’ is a crude translation of the medieval word ‘güt,’ which simply means ‘those who live in the sky.’
Also, ‘virgo’ meant a woman who had not yet had a child rather than a woman who was a virgin, so Mary was virgo, not a virgin … but that didn’t bother the Church. I could go on for hours, but you get the drift – organized religion is a crock and a crude attempt to control you. Fortunately, they are losing the battle.
Now why am I telling you this? It is very liberating to know that organized religion is about worshipping the memory of ETs who long ago left the planet. So there’s no transcendent mythological being watching from a distance for us to screw up. < big sigh of relief >
Now I’m not saying there’s no source creator on some very high dimension somewhere – we just can’t know about stuff that might be happening way up there. But when folks go to church and pray to some being they call God, the being on the other end may not be who they think it is. It’s actually their own soul and spirit guides … who may or may not respond depending on whether what you want aligns with your life contracts.
So, a day when the History Channel airs a documentary that underscores my life’s work is a good day. If I were a dog, my tail would be going crazy about now. Okay < wag, wag >
