Healing, magic, mind over matter, invoking the gods or God—all are, have been, and will be a part of the human species’ quest to have spiritual power work for themselves or others. Since the beginning of recorded time on this physical earth plane of existence, human beings have reached for a higher spiritual power to work on their behalf or for others. However, many have noticed that sometimes a higher power seems to work, and other times it does not. Is one person using the right prayer or incantation while another is not?


Why does invoking spiritual power seem so inconsistent in the hands of humankind? Why is it that prayers for health, healing, prosperity, love, and other human needs and desires are not all answered? Are some prayers chosen or favored while others are not? Is it a matter of good or bad karma, the wrong religion, or the wrong slant on God or spirituality?

"Experiencing"

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.

Experiencing meditation, you learn to open to your oneness with God. Every experience you have comes from and happens within the Mind of God, which lives within you. This meditation will help you to see and have a more positive experience of God’s Presence in your everyday life.


Recognizing and connecting consciously to the Divine Presence within you brings inner peace, relieves stress, increases confidence and self-esteem, and gives you a sense of security because you know that whatever happens in your life, you are supported by and experiencing it through the spiritual presence within you.

From breathing in the Breath of Spirit, to feeling joy, happiness, and love in your life, to expressing good health and financial security…it all comes from ‘the experience’ of the Universal Mind within you.


Your life, health, self-confidence, and happiness all begin within you. The more connected to and aware of the Divine Presence, the more positive and joyful your life will become.

Everything your body, mind, and spirit experience starts within and is expressed through the Mind of God that dwells within you. This meditation will help you make that mind/body/spirit connection so you can have a more joyful, abundant, and prosperous experience of God.

Voice of Meditation – Instructions for Use

Download this Instruction for Use file to receive the most benefits from this guided meditation series.


The VOM series consists of 31 meditations designed to guide you through daily metaphysical meditations on different spiritual topics. The recommended usage is to listen to a different guided meditation every day of the month.


The purpose of these 31 audio recordings is to introduce you to meditation and help you deepen your meditation experiences while guiding your inner conscious mind to connect on greater levels to the Divine Higher Consciousness within you.



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.

We invite you to listen to a 6-minute mystical meditation.



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."

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.
