Starlight Journal

Universal Church Of Metaphysics

University Of Metaphysical Sciences has finished a new Ministerial Handbook. It’s purpose is guiding our students in ceremonial services they will do as ministers of the Universal Church Of Metaphysics. Editing is still happening on a new elective we will be adding to the curriculum soon.

Big things are happening here in Arcata, CA. University Of Metaphysical Sciences just released a Ministerial Handbook to aid our students who are already ministers, and to help guide them in such things as starting churches and doing counseling. This has been quite a labor for the staff here, and we’re really happy and proud of this.

Also along the lines of courses, I thought I’d let you know of a new elective in the works named Rebirthing. We’re currently in the final editing process and hope to have this out by Spring.

Also of note, our Founder and President Christine Breese is soon to be on tour. If you’re in California, check out the dates below to see her in person.

As the new year begins, we all just want to wish you a great new energy setting for the year. A new year is like a psychic barrier, a border that is crossed. Old energy is left behind and new energy emerges. As a year ends, we all look back and examine lessons learned, accomplishments made, progress achieved and memories we will cherish. As a year begins, we all look with hope to achieving new goals, aspiring to new heights, and gathering another terrific collection of memories to cherish for the rest of our lives.

 We hope for everyone the flowering of their dreams and the accomplishment of their true desires and goals. May the energy you set for this new year be a blessing to yourself and others, and may all beings unite in peace and harmony together, locally and globally. May we all do our part to assist others in their spiritual growth and grow ourselves as the challenges arise.

 Happy New Year Everyone!

October 23, 2006 - Busy busy busy!

It’s still a pretty busy fall season and we have been quite occupied. We have really settled into our new offices at this point and we just added a couple new computers so that we could hire more people to try to keep up with the growth spurt that University of Metaphysical Sciences is going through. We have had to hire several new people in order to keep up with the work! We welcome our new staff members and everyone seems to be working out fine. University Of Metaphysical Sciences has turned out to be a beautiful spiritual family and everyone loves coming to work here every day.

Zolar the Magnificent, our office cat friend who lives next door and comes over to hang out with us all day, got locked in the house last night and he sure was glad to get out in the morning. Oops! Everyone knows now that they have to watch out for the cat when we lock up at the end of the day.

Our webmaster got all of our exams online and automated. It’s wonderful! It cuts down on a lot of staff time so that now staff can spend that time on other projects. We can now spend more time on the parts of the exams that are just the true/false and multiple-choice questions. We can now take more time to read and answer the meditation reports and other short answer questions. Automating the true/false and multiple-choice questions for grading has made life so much easier for us!

Christine Breese, founder of University Of Metaphysical Sciences, UMS , Universal Church of Metaphysics and Starlight Journal, is currently working on her book Integrity Handbook for Spiritual Teachers, Healers and Leaders.

Christine Breese founded University of Metaphysical Sciences in 2004.

September has started with quite a bang this year. University Of Metaphysical Sciences has been very busy since the beginning of the month. Summer is over and people are starting to think about school again, although the weather is still quite nice. Here in Arcata, some of our best weather is in the summer. The nice thing about Arcata is that it never gets too hot in the summer and it never gets too cold in the winter. Well! We better get back to work! Lots of enrollments to process today that came in over the weekend. This is our busiest time of year.
