Spirit Quest

[SPIRIT QUEST ESSAY] by Rev. C.Vickers Master of Metaphysics Beginning this quest brought about more than an opportunity to read impressions of experiences on the exercises in the assignments. It literally created very interesting synchronicity in my life. The inner work on spirit saw a result in my world experiences. It is wonderful to heal the self through enriching assignments and to cultivate a life experience that rewards reflection. One of the first reflection exercises was, "Start with the idea that God (Supreme Being, Higher Power, Lord of All Creation, etc) WANTS you to succeed. " You were created to succeed." The blueprint of your life and your goal as a being is all geared towards success. Failure is a lie." This became a powerful premise for thoughtful deliberate consideration of the self. It led to a great weeks and evaluation of what I really do want. My contemplation and meditation assisted in what I would like to envision my successes. Again, great food for thought. As mentioned in the beginning of the essay the assignments do take you on a journey to support personal experiences and interactions, and the exercises create stirrings of memories and dreams you seek to create. Then you start noticing that the work is bringing together other pieces of your life. It is easy to accept this once acknowledged you become aware of responding to cues from others and have changed responses because of having done the exercises. In numerous little ways, something was shifting. It was such a pleasure to be able to fully engage in this project, see the benefits immediately, and understand that all work chosen can be part of the passion for success and positive outcomes. Spirit Quest helped me keep on track of my personal journey as well as my professional image and relationships.  ******************************************** To ordain yourself with the Universal Life Church, for free, for life, right now, click on the Free Online Ordination link.

Spirit Quest

Forgiveness...... something I practice all the time. After reading this weeks course someone I thought I had forgiven come across my path, but I started to get some niggly angry feelings still... I was not going to talk to her but on reflection of the course I went over and asked her how she was doing. She then hugged me and I felt no more animosity between us. I still don't particularly want this woman in my life, but now feel nothing when she speaks to me. Grounding..... absolutely loved doing this. For some reason when making the connection from my spine to the planet I felt I had a tail hanging down. I spoke to my friend who is a Reiki healer and she said I may of been an animal in a past life. She told me about how she does something similar but has tree roots coming from her and she gets the energy to heal people from this.

Spirit Quest

Dr. of Metaphysics Dissertation

Rev. Jacob Hold

The Dr. of Metaphysics course was a very eye-opening experience. It brought a lot of self recognition as well as the surroundings of everyday life. When one comes to realize the miracles of everyday life, that is the day that their three minds become aligned, their way of thinking is through their higher guidance not their ego. They come to understand that they have a soul and a higher purpose in life.  When you realize you have a soul, you come to realize

it's purpose is to learn while here on Earth. Not only is it its need to learn but also to teach others that go astray from their higher purpose.  The way to teach others is through everyday contact

with others. The actions that are done to others, the words spoken, the thoughts, they all need to be examined for us to learn from. The answer to all those actions is through forgiveness. Only through forgiveness can a soul truly heal. When a person asks for forgiveness from their heart it is exchanged between them and the person being asked.

Everything in life happens for a reason. We don't know why the dark side of life happens. But we delight in the beauty and bounty of nature, the gifts of our talents, the pursuit of happiness and love from others. When we learn to accept, we recognize that both the dark and the light sides of life nourish us. It bears witness that all things work together for good for those who love God. With an attitude of acceptance even our personal shortcomings become

blessings.

According to A Course in Miracles, prayer is the medium of miracles. It releases us from fear-based thinking of our egos and aligns our minds with the love of God. Also in the course it is said "through prayer love is received, and through love without miracles is expressed". That makes prayer the greatest gift with which God blessed His son at his creation. If you truly pray for something from your heart, you are asking for intervention at the level of cause.

When we do this we may be afraid of receiving the very result we are seeking. What we must truly pray for is not always given an answer we seek, if we were then God would be giving us more than we could handle and God does not burden his children. That is why guidance is always given in the form of everyday interactions.  Signs of an answer are given all around you, when you lest expect them. We just need to be receptive and look with open hearts to receive them.
