Spirit Quest

Spirit Quest Course Essay

The first notable thing about the course is its down-to-earth and light tone. This was a welcome change from my law studies! Moreover, as each lesson is not too long, it makes for an easy and enjoyable read and leaves sufficient time for practice.

The course pointed to a number of good and pragmatic life principles, such as the need to take charge of one’s own life, the necessity to forgive, that creating and destroying are only two sides of the same coin and that none of the two is inherently bad, the power of letting go, the risks of spiritual competition, the power of affirmations and speaking in the positive, and asking the right questions, just to name a few.

I particularly appreciated the strong affirmatives of some of the lessons. You always have a choice. Trying is not enough to bring true achievements. You can’t change what you don’t own, but you should own what’s yours. The passages on the spiritual path and the law of karma closely matched my personal beliefs.

When I read the life principles explained in the course, I felt either in total agreement, or that I knew them deep within and just did not realize it up to then. These principles are easy to apply in one’s daily life and can improve quickly relationships and the way one sees himself.

One point for which I disagreed with the course was that the author seems to consider that the true nature of humans is their spirit, and that they merely inhabit a body. Although I do agree that the spirit is what survives death and later reincarnates, I think that the body is more than a temporary housing. While in the body, we are both spirit and body, mind and matter, both imbued with a divine spark.

The meditation techniques taught in the course are simple to use, especially when you are good at visualization. They are very relaxing and empowering, and also fun to use. The center of my head, grounding cords, golden suns, working with energy, creating and destroying rose, chakras… are now well-known. I initially had a few questions about the reason why we should use roses and not something else, but I quickly realized that I had come to be accustomed to the image and that it was effective.

I personally found running my energies slightly more difficult, but by coincidence I had been practicing breathing techniques that used a similar imagery with my fitness coach at about the same time, and the combination of both helped improve results.

These were enjoyable eight months, and I am pretty sure that the rest of my life will be likewise.

Spirit Quest

Spirit Quest
Coming into the ULC Seminary course, I was full of self-pity and felt very disillusioned by life. I was really empty. There were no answers to choose from. This was the last house on the street for me. Although I have always felt that I have had a strong connection to God, I have always had a difficult time figuring out how he worked. This course has started me on the right path in figuring it out.

I began using the tools right away. Every suggestion in every lesson I tried. For me, these saved my life. From creating roses, to clearing chakras, to creating my own reality. I have tried sending energy to myself and others, and have actually seen results.

Seeing in writing how Spirit Communicates was especially helpful to me. When I was younger, I always felt that the universe was speaking to me through music and color; especially music. But over the years, my ego has changed my mind. And, although I still listen for clues though music, my ego is still winning the battle at this point. I pray regularly for God to restore me to the innocence I had when I was young. The faith I had. This section of the course helped me to do that.

Learning about Karma is something every human being should know about. Being a Catholic, and studying the bible awhile with the Jehovah's witnesses; I have always been acutely aware that NO ONE seems to be able to just not sin to save their lives. Literally. From what I have seen of human behavior, the theory of Karma is the only solution to sin in this world. The only way I won't do something bad to someone else is to stop that same bad thing from happening to me.

But, the most important concept I am taking from this course is the concept that I am made in perfection, for perfection. And that I create my own reality...as long as I have faith. I even did create my own reality. For a little while I had everything I ever wanted. But soon, fear crept in, and everything changed in an instant. Maybe its an underlying belief that I don't deserve it. Or maybe I just let it go because I thought I could do better. I haven't quite figured that out yet. Time will tell.

Thank you very much for the course.

Spirit-Quest

This is a short essay from a minister who has completed the Spirit-Quest:

Wow!!! What have I learned? Let me start from my beginning:

Well, there is so much that I have learned. So much practice and so

much growth in the last six months. I feel that I am in a constant mode of change

and evolution.

My own personal experience may explain what I mean by changes. After

taking my discourses, I realized that I was receiving information about people

and their need for healing. Names of people would come to my head. When I would

contact them, they indeed needed some type of physical or emotional healing. I

also saw colors, and was directed through colors to where I should work on

someone or myself.

I started working with people by facilitating sessions for them, the

changes that occurred in some of these people was amazing, however I want to

make sure that you the reader understand that these people were the ones wanting

this healing and I was just a channel that facilitated that healing, it was

not me doing the work it was the Source, the Creator of all things.

I found that I could no longer eat certain types of foods. My body

only wanted those things that were good for me, this please me immensely. It also

provided me with more energy than I had ever had before. Meats were no longer

appealing to me, where before I enjoyed meats like everyone else. Wine had

always been a problem for me. I found it better to stay away from wine all together.

My allergies were a year round happening. I lived on allergy pills. This

new lifestyle really helped as I no longer had to take allergy pills, or

ibuprofen for headaches as these went away as well. I now only take allergy

pills every once in a while when allergy season is at its highest.

The most wonderful and beneficial thing for me was to be able to make a

connection with the Divine. This is something that was so special for

me that I would never regret having gone through this course; on the contrary

it made me whole. Once undergoing the process, if you are committed to your

spiritual enfoldment, it will rock your world. Nothing will ever be the same.

Life will be much richer and fuller, you will be happy within yourself. You will

no longer look at external means for happiness. Your husband will become

a companion, yet not your source of happiness. You will love your

children, family, friends, yet they are no longer your only source of happiness.

Happiness will lie within you, and that is what I found. I will not

tell you that I have no challenges, I find that now I can cope with them much

easier. I see them in a different light. To be able to take the tools that I

have learned in the last year and apply them to life is what has made a huge difference.

I came to the realization that I am the best chocolate cake out there.

There is no chocolate cake better than me. Everything else is frosting added to

the cake as one of the ladies I know stated.

My life continues to evolve and I find that I see life through

different eyes. My evolution started over seven years ago, however I know that I have been connected all my life. This discourse has fine tuned all that I have

learned throughout the years. The practice of mastery is what has made the

difference. Being able to take a concept and practice it for a week or however

long is necessary is what I have found makes the difference

Life is a wonderful thing and to understand your role in life you need

to look within yourself, understand your soul purpose and search within for

answers. No one can do this for you, only you can do this for you. Everyone is

born with a purpose, something you are here to learn during this lifetime,

or you are meant to do. Have you thought of what your purpose is? Have you

looked within to figure out how you can be happy within yourself? (This is a

challenge that only you can figure out for yourself.

No matter what your religion or set of beliefs are, Spirit-Quest may

enrich your life and experience, if you are willing to look within yourself to

discover your life purpose. First of all, you will need quiet time for

yourself. To look within yourself, you will need time to meditate.

There are many ways of accomplishing this; spirit quest may not be for

everyone, however it was for me. It did enrich my life. I was able to experience

something very rich, how it is related to every aspect of our being,

from emotional happiness to emotional difficulty, physical illnesses,

relationships,programming and more.

This is what this experience has done for me. It has made me more

aware of my body, my mind, my soul and it has connected me to the Divine Source,

the creator of all things. I now find life to be richer, fuller and

something that I truly can enjoy on a moment-by-moment basis.

By staying in the now I can ensure forward movement of my life. I can

co-create with the Universe. I can plan my day every morning and work with the

Universal life force to manifest those things that I need in my life.

That is the power of the work we have down and I would recommend it to

anyone that is looking to practice mastery.

Spirit-Quest

By John Peterson

Spirit Quest

First, let me mention, I have been enlightened by this course. The topics are genuine and always cause me to ponder, wonder and apply to this lifetime. Essay – Changes in my Life.I have been though many changes over the last several years, study of theology, alternative medicine practices and self-awareness. All of which have formed a new perspective of looking at issues that I have, that others have. Looking out from this body from the Spirit and Soul, I see the need in others, to have a Path to follow.

To understand that there is a choice they can make to heal themselves, to manifest the need that this life requires. Through this course, I have identified myself, my Spirit. I once had a huge void inside, in my heart. I did not understand the void, only to know that I felt I was missing something in my life. Purpose? Why am I (we) here? What was causing the weight in my heart?Coincidence? Things happen for a reason. My hip required an adjustment. I asked around, who had a great chiropractor. I was lead to an office that was on my drive home. Upon arriving, the new patient paperwork, I was sent to a room to wait.

When the door opened and the Doctor came in, all she could say was, “Wow, you’ve got a huge Aura!" I quickly responded by, “My name is John, my color is blue!” “I’m Dr. Lisa, and my color is Green. I’m a healer” she piped back. “You can do anything you need to for my health”, I offered. From then on, Dr. Lisa introduced me to energy working people, self-healing classes, meditation, crystal energy and more. I have pursued energy work very passionately. I am a study of Reiki, and the Chakras and other modalities. During a self-healing exercise years ago, Soul Fragmentation Retrieval, I became incredibly aware. I have become very empathic, Clairsentient and have become a Medical Intuitive. I provide Spiritual Healing services and body scans. I see Auras around people and have regarded this as a measure of one’s Spirituality, and is very accurate. I have no fear when it comes to the Spirit.

When I see an Aura, I immediately comment to that person how gorgeous it is, then go into the meaning their Aura. Often, I sense the level of energy their chakras carry, connect to their Spirit and scan their physical body to identify problems they carry by the imbalance in the Aura field. People need to be aware of the great experiences that can be available to them, just by asking.I continue to have great experiences.

My Soul is at peace with my Path. I am continually amazed at the information provided to us and am recognizing more ways the messages come to us. We all need to listen with our Heart. This is where I carry my Spirit. Filling the void I once had. Lighting my Path.When you look at issues from the Soul’s perspective, the real ‘Why’ comes out. Only Truth. Letting go of the Ego is the healing we all need. My roses are in bloom!If only all could see their Spirit.

Thank you Spirit Quest. For opening up new possibilities.
