Spirit Quest

Studying this course has been an interesting experience for me. I have learned and re-learned many things during the course of my studies. Funny how what you focus on presents itself out in the world. It seems that each week, I was reminded of my lessons.

I had one interesting experience that I would like to share to illustrate my point. I remember reading a paragraph that spoke of not being invited out to a gathering. You went on to ask how I would respond if it was me. I remember thinking that it would be no big deal, and why would anyone get upset about something so silly. Well you can guess what happened. A week or so later, I found out that my son and myself were not invited to his little friends birthday party. I laughed to myself because I was pissed off. I kept thinking, “Why weren’t we invited?” I let that brew for a while, and then I realized a few things. I realized that judging that passage I had read earlier, may have brought that experience to me to learn not to judge. I also realized that I didn’t really want to go to that party anyway.

I began evaluating my so-called friendships, and have since made a few changes that make me feel better. My point is that judging a situation is pretty foolish because sooner or later you may have to eat your words and go through the experience you judged.

I have especially enjoyed learning some techniques to help me be a more compassionate person. I love using the grounding cord for myself. I also use it for my home. Each night I imagine a huge grounding cord for my house, and I envision all the guck that has collected in our home to be washed down the cord. I then fill our house with a huge golden sun, and surround it with a beautiful white light (and angels). Another technique I have enjoyed using is the creation (and destruction) of roses. I use them all the time. I love the “Hello” rose. I have really noticed a difference when I forget to use that rose.

I could go on and on about the benefits of studying this course. The only thing I need to remember is to actually use these wonderful tools daily. I find that in the busy-ness of my day, I can forget to use the very techniques that would most certainly help me the most. But like you have said, “Be aware when you are operating out of love, and laugh at yourself when you are not”. I laugh a lot!

Thanks for this opportunity for growth.

Metaphysics Course

By: Reverend Cynthia Ewing

When I started this course I did not know what to expect. It seemed like it was so long. As each lesson appeared in my inbox I found my self more and more excited by this course. It flowed very easily together. It was definitely a beginner’s course, but even the more advanced student takes something from this class if it is just another perspective of what they already know.

The meditation part of the course took a few weeks to build upon itself, but I liked the imagery she used for the meditation. I have used roses for protection before, but not in this way. I found it very helpful. Also the clearing out of other people’s energy and building up your own were invaluable. I never realized before that other people’s energy was so detrimental. Yes, it is nice in the beginning to share someone else’s energy, but after the initial glow wears off it is just annoying.

I have found, that with each new lesson I was working on, someone in my life could have used the information that I had just acquired. A girlfriend of mine was holding on to her hurt and anger about her son. We talked about forgiveness, but she was just not ready to let go and reach that state. There is another person that I work with her whole outlook on life is just very negative. Everything she says is very pessimistic. One day I was chatting with her about this in a round about way and she admitted that she knows she is very negative. I suggested trying to find other words that are more positive, but she was not quite ready to do that yet.

With the two cases above neither were ready to make changes so I let them go with the seeds planted. The only person I can change is myself. I have worked hard on being positive and sending out only the positive messages. This does not mean I have not slipped. Driving is the hard part for me. I find other drivers can irritate me. I will continue to work on this probably for the rest of my life or until I cannot drive anymore.

I have also sent out balloons with what I want and used positive affirmations. One time I was telling myself that whenever I buy lottery tickets I win money. I think I did that about fifty times before I got to the store and bought a few. I bought two scratch tickets and one lotto ticket. One of the scratch tickets was a $25 winner. I have also found myself popping balloons before they leave since some of the things I was thinking about were not what I wanted to bring into my life. I would pop them before they were released into the universe.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this class and I would suggest that everyone should take it. By the end of the class I found myself missing receiving the weekly discourse. I looked forward to it after awhile. I know I will take some of these tools with me throughout the rest of this life and will share what I have learned with others. Thank you for this experience.

Metaphysics Course

What can I say about the Spirit Quest Course and the 30 weeks of enlightenment. I have truly, truly enjoyed it. I so much enjoy the topics such as karma, meditation and in fact all of the topics. I can't really pick one to be my favorite but i would like to express my gratitude for the course and your enlightening spirit you gave throughout the lessons. I came into the course almost 8 months ago with some personal issues that I was working on and through the techniques used in this course I was able to work through the issues without much stress and problems.

It is nice to know that this course it out there and available to people, especially those that are under stress, anxiety, drug/alcohol abuse and any other mental or physical disorder. The thing taught in this course are valuable to all and will help those with the previous mentioned problems and any that choose to use the lessons to better themselves in any aspect of their life. I can sit here all day and talk about how much I enjoyed it and that I am better for having taken the course, but you will not know until you have taken the course yourself. I encourage all to sign up today and learn for yourself the benefits and knowledge that the course offers. Thanks again Amy for everything.

Online Ordination

Hello Friends:

I am the Rev. Patricia Johnston and wish to share why I chose Ordination. It began so long ago, as a child. I knew I was always going to walk this path of selfless service to others because of a deep and great desire to be of part to God's Will. My love for God was immeasurable and still is. It is a feeling, a knowing and a sensing of His Presence everywhere in my life.

I am perhaps quite Native American in my concept of God, often thinking of God as "Great Spirit." I see Great Spirit in all of Nature. I see Great Spirit in all manner of _expression. My goal is to be of one-mind with Great Spirit, knowing wherever I Am, God is. I have also been blessed to have a Great Teacher by the name of "White Eagle," whom many of you are familiar with. White Eagle is a Master Teacher or Universal Teacher for many of us. He first appeared in my life in 1972. He prepared the way for my spiritual journey and introduced me to works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his great fervor for the Spiritualist movement. White Eagle later had a great part to play in the life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the importance of Mediumship. Since then I was led to Spiritualist Churches throughout Northern California to where I have been now since 1996.

I have been heading a Spiritualist Church in California Bay Area now for nearly six years. I created it, incorporated it and have run the Church since early 2001. It has been a dream come true after years of just knowing that someday I too would be able to speak and teach also provide a place where others may also come to know Great Spirit: All-Loving; Omnipotent; Omniscient; Omnipresent. It gives great comfort to know we are never alone in our life, no matter what the obstacles or hurdles we must cross, and the Cross is never too heavy to bear. Spiritualism teaches "There is no death." Our Soul continues to progress on the Spirit Planes, which some have called the "Summerlands," and the Native American refer to it as "The Happy Hunting Grounds." Then as we are ready, we return to Earth again and again for the lessons prepared for us as we work toward perfection.

ULC provided the opportunity for me to go forward in my work and to completely utilize all the aspects of the ministry which are endowed upon us as we become Ordained. I have now united people in Matrimony, and have conducted Memorials for friends. I have had countless sessions for counseling others on their journey, and have given "talks" at neighboring Churches. I have taught countless classes on Spiritual Unfoldment, Psychic Development and Mediumship. It has been a full life filled with wonderful experiences. ULC helped in this process. They provided a means for me to expand my role in service others. Thank You ULC.

The Rev. Patricia Johnston.

Spirit Quest

Spirit Quest Final Essay

I really enjoyed these last 30 lessons on Metaphysics. Lesson #16 on speaking positive really hit home and should be a daily practice. Be aware of speaking in the positive WOW what a concept! This will take a lot of thought and practice on my part and I'm sure I'm going to have fun with it.

In trying to realize the state of perfection, we must be certain that we differentiate between suggestion and real metaphysical healing. In metaphysical healing, we are conscious that we are dealing with a universal principle or law, which takes the impress of our thought and acts upon it. We are dealing with something that cannot and does not argue. We are directing it for definite purposes, telling it to do certain things which it does.

When disturbances arise, it is important to erase every unpleasant experience from the memory; with the use of the rose or other visual substances you can erase every hard, tense thought from the mind. In doing so the mind-filled with the knowledge that there is but one divine, powerful, vital essence- can change inharmonious thoughts into ideals that heal, cleanse and uplift.

I find that my vision works better if I visualize the thing I want to blow up and Blow it up! Instead of putting in a rose and then blowing it up, but, that's just me.

Karma reinforced the notion of what goes around comes around. I appreciated the explanation that passing judgment was putting energy where it doesn't belong; turning something neutral into something charged. It's interesting to learn that everything I put energy on will create of resolve karma. I remind myself of that daily, because having judgments is a hard habit to break. I'm doing better every day.

Grounding was difficult for me. Forgiveness was eye-opening but all in all every week I received a valuable message that helps me on my journey.

Finally, I enjoyed this course. Thank you for all the work you put into putting this course together and teaching it.
