Spirit Quest

Spirit Quest comments

Greetings Amy,I am not quite half-way through Spirit Quest, which I have found very interesting and useful in my everyday life. I am pleased with my affiliation with ULC and look forward to a life long, fulfilling relationship. I have registered myself to practice in the State of Minnesota and am in the process of establishing a healing practice as well. My spiritual life has been on a rapid rise to awareness during the last two plus years full of wondrous as well as unnerving experiences. Being a part of the ULC Ministry is definitely one of the best things that I have done. I have visited and posted on the forum for Spirit Quest, and visit as often as time allows. I appreciate your communications.

So far so good on Spirit Quest for me. I think my favorite lesson is the second discourse, although I am enjoying all I have received so far. Particularly because I come from a place where this was one of my major lessons in life. I know this one well and know how to forgive for myself. So much has been done to me, however, I feel so much release of anger since I learned this lesson years ago. I wanted to share since I read so many have a problem with this one. You can't help what others have done to you and once you forgive inside yourself, you are released and feel free to live. Just my opinion.

I do want to add that I see the word "Perfect" in every discourse. Yes, I feel we were created in a perfect image, however, we are humans and not perfect by any means. We make mistakes and go through growing pains. Nothing will be perfect. It can be close, but we are mere humans. I look at my cats and dog, the trees, the rocks, hear the wind, see the sun...to me...that is perfect and as close as we will get to it



May the Angels be with you,

Rev. Ford Jun Taketa

Spirit Quest

Spirit Quest Essay by Roberto C. Nina

Master of Metaphysics
Roberto C. Nina

Greetings!

I'm a seminary student that is always looking for God and the good in people. This course has helped me get closer to God and self. It really helped me focus and build on my strengths and improve on my weaknesses.

The whole course was very interesting but there is one thing about this course that really stood out for me. Writing down my spiritual goals really changed my life. By writing down my spiritual goals I became aware of a plan of action. This plan of action has started a chain of events, without planning or thinking about it, to heal mind, body, and spirit.

One of the miracles that I have created for myself is that now I have created a different life and a different environment. I control my environment and it doesn't control me. I have literally moved away from negativity. Don't get me wrong, we find negativity everywhere we go but I now have the tools to protect myself from negativity. Before, I used to absorb the negativity of others not knowing how to deflect it. I would become angry and impatient with myself and others. Now is a whole different ball game.

A far as disagreements with the course, it challenged my basic beliefs. Some things taught in this course clash with my core belief system. How I got around this is that I'm open to other teachings and take things with a grain of salt. What worked for me I will treasure and those things that didn't I will discard. All in all it was nice to learn about what others believe.

Metaphysics is a journey into knowledge that one should tread carefully. It is a journey that I will always be on. The fact is that I have opened a door in my life that has endless possibilities and potential for change. The change could be positive or negative. It all depends on you and what you do (especially if you invite beings into your personal space). The things that I picked and chose from the course will be helpful to tweak and improve my life. Thank you ULC for giving me tools to grow.

Metaphysics

Master of Metaphysics by Rev. Sally
Universal Life Church Seminary - Spirit Quest

Thirty Lessons seems just right and at the same time, too short for this course. The student is advised to read and practice the exercises at least three times a week. This is indeed an important part of the study.

I liked the early lesson that included dropping an energy cord, draining off the excess and later learning how to run energy. I do this as a habit now when I feed harried or stressed or even a bit too jazzed over something. This causes a calming yet energizing effect.

It was difficult to work the forgiveness lesson and while I was not successful, I am aware of the effects.

The wrap up lesson bothered me a little. The idea of giving an uninvited embryo the boot, seems counter productive. I have come to accept that as pre-borns. we choose our families and our goals for the life we are about to experience. I never considered a baby not being welcomed. I am still assimilating this issue.

As far as creating a miracle for myself, I’m not sure, I did find new ways of calming myself, opened up to new ideas and learned of places where I need work. Personal growth may be considered a miracle of human evolution.

A change in the way I can drain off energy and recognize negative or competitive energy has been helpful. Being able to send people energy, just because I learned how to do it has given me some weird feeling of power. It is not a bad thing, it is something people generally don’t do. We want to know what’s in it for us.

Finally, I enjoyed this course. I recommend it to everyone, if only one of the thirty lessons takes root, the student will be a better human.

Spirit Quest

Spirit Quest Essay by Rev. Kimberly Moe
Spirit-Quest at ULC Seminary

THIS COURSE WAS FABULOUS! I HAD NO IDEA WHAT METAPHYSICS WAS ALL ABOUT AND HOW IMPORTANT IT COULD BE I MY LIFE.

I AM A PERSON OF MAY TALENTS AND INTERESTS. I AM A BARTENDER, SOON TO RETIRE FROM THAT, FULL TIME, HAVE A PART-TIME DOG GROOMING BUSINESS, AND AM A MUNICIPAL JUDGE.

AS ELECTIONS FOR JUDGE WERE COMING AROUND, AND BEING AFRAID I COULD LOSE THE ELECTION, I DECIDED TO GET ORDAINED THRU ULC SO I COULD CONTINUE TO PERFORM WEDDINGS. I DID NOT HOWEVER, FEEL I HAD THE RIGHT TO CALL MYSELF REVEREND KIMBERLY MOE WITHOUT GRADUATING FROM THE SEMINARY. THAT IS WHY I DECIDED TO START TAKING THE COURSES, SPIRIT QUEST BEING THE FIRST COURSE. IT WAS A PERFECT CHOICE.

BECAUSE OF THIS MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. THAT IS FOR THE GOOD OF COURSE. THE GOALS I WROTE DOWN AT THE BEGINNING HAVE NOT BEEN MET BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHANGED. THEY ARE MUCH BIGGER AND I AM GETTING CLOSE TO ACCOMPLISHING THEM. THEY ARE IN MOTION.

THE GROUNDING AND RECLAIMING MY SPACE HAS DONE ME WONDERS. A BARTENDER IS LIKE A THERAPIST. I HERE EVERYONE'S TROUBLES AND THEY LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY. A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEKING ME OUT FOR MY ADVISE. HOWEVER I ALSO USE TO TAKE THOSE PROBLEMS HOME WITH ME AND THEN COULD NOT SLEEP. I NOW PICTURE ALL THE PEOPLE I ENCOUNTERED AND THEIR PROBLEMS, PUT THEM IN AN OUTHOUSE AND BLOW IT UP. WOW DOES IT WORK. I COULD NOT
DO THIS WITH MY KIDS THOUGH, SO I PUT THEM IN A HOT AIR BALLOON AND SEE THEM FLOAT TO SAFETY ELSEWHERE. SILLY I KNOW BUT IT WORKS.

I NOW GROUND MY HOUSE, MY CAR AND MY KIDS CAR WHENEVER THEY GO SOMEWHERE AND PUT A PROTECTION ROSE AROUND IT. MY SON EVEN THANKED ME FOR IT ONE DAY.

I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHT AND QUESTION ABOUT THE SPIRIT PICKING THE BODY AND FAMILY IT WANTS TO BE BORN INTO. I TRY TO FIGURE THAT OUT AS TO WHY I PICKED MY FAMILY. IF THIS IS TRUE, THEN I THINK MY CHILDREN PICKED ME TO HELP GIVE ME SELF CONFIDENCE. MY KIDS ARE THE BEST. I WOULD NOT BE WHO I AM WITHOUT THEM.

I TALKED TO ONE FATHER WHO LOST HIS SON, LEAVING THE BAR WHEN I WAS WORKING ONE NIGHT. WE TALKED ABOUT HOW HIS SONS JOB WAS FINISHED HERE. HE SAID HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING CRAZY BECAUSE HE HAS SEEN MIKE, AND HAS TALKED TO HIM. I TOLD HIM THEN BELIEVE HE IS THERE, YOU ARE NOT CRAZY. THERE WAS MORE TO THE CONVERSATION, BUT I REALLY BELIEVED I HELPED HIM.

THE PART ON EGO'S WAS GREAT. BEING AROUND SO MANY PEOPLE, NOW KNOWING THEIR EGO, HELPS ME UNDERSTAND THEM A LITTLE. I CAN FIGURE OUT THEIR EGO PRETTY FAST. MY BOSS'S WIFE HAS AN OVERACTIVE EGO. I HAVE TO TRY AND HAVE PATIENTS AND FORGIVENESS. I DO TRY, BUT IT IS SOMETIMES HARD.

ON THE SUBJECT OF DREAMS, I AM STRUGGLING. I GO TO BED WITH THE INTENT OF REMEMBERING THEM, BUT NEVER CAN. MAYBE MY SPIRIT IS AS EXHAUSTED AS MY BODY AFTER WORKING 16 HOURS A DAY, THAT IT JUST WANTS TO REST ALSO.

I HAVE GONE ON TO TAKE REIKI AND HAVE SINCE BECOME A TEACHER/MASTER AND AM GOING TO HOLD WORKSHOPS. HAVE GONE ON TO STUDY AND GET CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION IN DOG MASSAGE, ACUPRESSURE AND ENERGY HEALING, WITH THE GOAL OF HOLDING WORKSHOPS TO TEACH THIS ALSO. ALL WORKSHOPS WILL START OFF WITH THE THINGS I LEARNED FROM SPIRIT QUEST. I THINK THE GROUNDING IS SO IMPORTANT. JUST THAT ALONE WILL HELP PEOPLE RELAX. IT SURE HAS HELPED ME.

I TRIED THE MOCK UPS. I COULD NOT SEEM TO LET MOST OF THEM GO, EXCEPT ONE. I DID A MOCK UP OF PERFORMING MY COUSINS WEDDING BACK IN OCTOBER. LAST WEEK I GOT A CALL FROM HER ASKING IF I WOULD PERFORM THE CEREMONY IN JUNE. IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE I PICTURED IT.

MY DAUGHTER IS GOING TO SCHOOL TO BE A MASSAGE THERAPIST. SO WORKS A LOT WITH THE ENERGY WORK. WE COMPARE TEACHINGS. IT IS A LOT ALIKE. WE ALSO TRY TO SEE PEOPLE'S AURA'S. THAT IS FUN.  I LOOK FORWARD TO HER COMING HOME AND US DISCUSSING WHAT WE LEARNED, THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES.

THIS COURSE HAS OPENED UP SO MANY THINGS TO ME. IT IS TO BAD WE CAN NOT TEACH IT TO CHILDREN IN SCHOOL. I THINK IT WOULD BE A LOT BETTER PLACE. MY GOAL IS TO REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS I CAN WITH WHAT I LEARNED HERE AND WITH THE REIKI AND PET MASSAGE. I KNOW I WILL SUCCEED. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PERSON THAT LIKES TO HELP OTHERS, THOSE THAT WANT IT, AND NOW I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO OFFER.

AM WEEK 11 INTO METAPHYSICS AND MIRACLES. AM ENJOYING THAT ALSO. AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REST OF THE COURSES. WILL TAKE ME 5 YEARS TO GRADUATE FROM THE SEMINARY, BUT THAT IS ALRIGHT.
