Souls who wish peace on earth—in order to enjoy what peace has to offer to themselves and to those they love—dream of peace on this planetary dimension. In the history of this earth plane, there have been times of peace depending on one’s geographical location; and, thus, a person might idealize that permanent, lasting peace is possible.

Were it only so!

With mystical awareness comes the knowing that on this earth plane, it will never be so. This is a plane of existence whose very existence is based on dualism or opposites. There is hot and cold, pleasure or pain, love or loneliness. So, should it not then follow, that there is also war and peace?

"Resurrection"

from Dr. Paul Leon Masters' 

Voice of Meditation Series

Please note: The featured download is available for free for one week only.

We offer a new meditation download for free every week.

Resurrection meditation is for the purpose of opening to the power of Spirit, God, the Universal Mind, and its ability to renew, re-energize and bring new life you one’s spirit, soul, and life experiences. It’s also very helpful to open your heart and mind to the possibilities for your future, especially after experiencing difficult challenges and life-changing hardship and transitions. It helps to rebuild your lifeless spirit when hope and faith have been damaged or totally lost due to painful situations like the loss of a loved one, career or business, financial crisis, mental and physical crisis, and anything where you may need to rebuild your life and spirit to move forward and thrive again.

This meditation guides you through techniques that move the energy of Universal light and love through your body. It transforms and purifies dark, negative energies from your mind and body into the positive, healing energy of light and love, restoring joy, peace, and self-love to your soul and spirit. It also brings increased sensitivity and awareness of the Divine Guidance within you, empowering you to make better choices and have more inner peace, harmony, and self-confidence.

Higher Consciousness Meditation



For many years, Dr. Paul Leon Masters taught students the practice of higher consciousness and mystical meditation in his classes. Being divinely guided, he brought forth many new and innovative techniques and practices of meditation.

In everyday life, every physical perception has other vibratory levels that are usually unperceived by your physical senses. There are vibrational frequency energies on a psychic, ethereal, astral, mental, and mystical level. In Dr. Masters’ voice, there are usually undetected frequencies of high spiritual energies transmitted to corresponding energy frequencies in your own higher levels of mind and awareness, stimulating them into activity.

The higher vibrational frequencies in Dr. Masters’ voice come as the result of years of going into the higher levels of his consciousness during meditation, in which he has personally experienced practically all states of meditative consciousness, which you may have heard or read about in various schools of thought, such as Yoga, Alchemy, Theosophy, Self-Realization, Vedanta, Religious Science, Unity, and Mysticism.



What is Metaphysics?

"My definition of metaphysics would be the search for absolute reality. The search for: Who am I? What am I? Where have I been? Where am I going? What is the relationship of man, mind, and the Universe? If you can answer those questions, you can find your place in life. If you can't, then it doesn't matter; you're just a wanderer."

Please Note: Effective March 1, 2025, the annual IMM affiliation will increase to $97 for one year and $177 for two years.

The current IMM affiliation rates are $80 for one year or $140 for two years through February 28, 2025.

To show our gratitude and appreciation for your continued support and loyalty and to help you save money, we have added three more options for renewing your IMM Minister Affiliation that you can take immediate advantage of.

We send out our IMM affiliation renewal notices three months in advance and follow up with reminders to give our members plenty of time to plan their budgets and to ensure they receive their updated IMM Minister ID cards promptly in case ministerial credentials are required to perform weddings, provide spiritual healing, pastoral counseling, etc. We have noticed that mail delivery is taking longer than usual, especially for our international students. Also, this advance notice is given to allow our members time to activate their ministerial credentials (to ensure good standing with the IMM) if they have taken a hiatus or want to resume their studies. You will find the expiration date on your card.

Prayers and Invocations by Dr. Paul Leon Masters



Transcendent Interpretation of the Lord’s Prayer

Interpretation by Dr. Paul Leon Masters

(Use Daily for Spiritual Attunement)

Our Father-Mother God who is in the kingdom of heavenly consciousness within our minds. Holy be your presence in our awareness. We open our minds to your kingdom of higher heavenly consciousness. Awaken our earthly direction in life to the universal will of your heavenly mind. Give us this day our daily nourishment of the presence of your spirit. And as you forgive us—so in turn, may we, by your presence in our minds forgive others. And inwardly guide us away from all that is not of your presence into your light. For yours is our true inner power and the glory of our true selfhood for ever and ever. 

AMEN

A Google review by Sampath Rani



My academic experience at the University of Metaphysics has been exceptional. Sharing my experience is a Pleasure!

Though the University is far, I sensed a genuine presence on a daily basis. To begin, I took a sabbatical from my personal and professional obligations when I opted to pursue my PhD at this university, as obtaining a PhD degree has always been a goal of mine. I returned to India in 2003 after earning my Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. At that time, I began applying for PhDs; however, despite receiving a seat back in the UK, I was unable to consider it because the scholarship was quite small and we could not afford to pursue it. I literally forgot about it over time.

Given this opportunity again, with an 80% scholarship, and the fact that I am now a different person with a subject of interest that exactly matches my chosen interest, it pierced my heart, and I chose to go for it with the mindset of "Now or Never!!"

The challenge was not only studying for and passing the PhD, but also going through the full procedure step by step. Yes, first study and pass the B.Msc, then the M.Msc, and finally the PhD.

I only saw myself submitting my PhD dissertation from the day I started with Module-1 in the B.Msc syllabus onward. That means I didn't know I hadn't taken a break from my studies. God's presence was palpable throughout this journey.

Yes, It was Indeed a journey of Self Discovery. When I experienced a setback, Michelle held me, and then Dr. Jordan appeared, leading me wherever I needed support and advice. I felt the same way about everyone I've encountered with at this university; they're all so knowledgeable, friendly, and empathetic, and they're always willing to help and guide.

Thank you, Dr. Masters, for establishing this University for me. And I felt guided by my Heavenly Father in discovering this University for me. Thank you, Michelle, Dr. Jordan, and all of the amazing people at this University.

I've been blessed! I've been waiting to send this review for a while, and I'm glad I finally did.



A recent Trustpilot review by David Cernance

A Transformative Journey at the University of Metaphysics

Enrolling in the University of Metaphysics has been an absolutely phenomenal and life-changing experience for me. The courses have not only propelled me towards achieving my goals, but they have also profoundly deepened my understanding of metaphysical and spiritual principles. The meditations and spiritual exercises provided by the university have instilled in me a profound sense of peace, clarity, and a deeply rooted connection to the universe. I now feel more empowered and confident in guiding and supporting others on their spiritual journeys, offering wisdom and insights that I never possessed before.

The program at the University of Metaphysics is meticulously structured and brimming with an abundance of knowledge. The sense of community and the shared insights among fellow students are truly invaluable. This institution fosters an environment of camaraderie, enlightenment, and mutual growth, which has been instrumental in my personal and spiritual development.

I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to study at the University of Metaphysics. The knowledge, tools, and community it offers are unparalleled and have played a pivotal role in my spiritual evolution. The university's resources, coupled with the profound teachings, have illuminated my path and have been a beacon of light guiding me towards my higher purpose.

Thank you, University of Metaphysics, for this incredible journey. Blessings to all!
