Seminary Program

This is where we post the essays from many of our Universal Life Church Seminary students. When students finish a ULC course, they write a comprehensive essay about their experiences with the course, what they learned, didn't learn, were inspired by, etc. Here are their essays.

Spirit Quest

Spirit-Quest
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 MANY 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.

*******************************

The Universal Life Church is a comprehensive online seminary where we have classes in Christianity, Wicca, Paganism, two courses in Metaphysics and much more. I have been a proud member of the ULC for many years and the Seminary since its inception.

The Universal Life Church offers handfasting ceremonies, funeral ceremonies and free minister training.

As a long time member of ULC, Rev. Long created the seminary site to help train our ministers. We also have a huge selection of Universal Life Church  minister supplies. Since being ordained with the Universal Life Church for so many years and it's Seminary since the beginning, I've watch the huge change and growth that has continued to happen.
