Who am I and why might people want to hear what I have to say?
I am an international, ordained, interfaith Universal Life Church minister, metaphysician, author ~ blogger ~ internationally board-certified holistic health counselor, New Paradigm Multidimensional Transformation™ (NPMDT™) Teacher of the School of Esoteric Science™, certified Reiki Master Teacher and Qigong Teacher. I no longer practice nor teach Reiki since New Paradigm Multidimensional Transformation™ has graced the planet.
As an interfaith, ordained Universal Life Church minister, I have helped humanity with weddings, renewal of marriage vows and funerals. Now in my retirement, this blog is my worldwide ministry. I deal with personal growth and development, maturity, and relationships encompassing many areas including religions and politics.
People who do not want to continue to learn what is going on around them stay stunted in ignorance and buried in cult-like indoctrinations. Learning anything will not make you angry, unless you grow to realize that you have been indoctrinated into a religious or political cult. Then it may be both infuriating and embarrassing.
I have met with priests, bishops, deacons, ministers and many others of other faiths to share important matters to humanity.
I also hold a Master Catechist certification (1982) specializing in Youth Ministry from the Diocese of Worcester. I taught CCD for over 20 years for every grade level including First Holy Communion, Sacrament of Reconciliation, Confirmation, and adult Bible Studies in my home.
In my quest to better understand all faiths including the Catholic faith, I have participated in the once-in-a-lifetime Cursillo, a Catholic faith inspiration, joined the Cursillo Leaders School and gave the Study Talk on the Women’s Retreats; Life In The Spirit Retreats, and God help me, yes, I even tried out Opus Dei, meaning “Work of God.” To me, this translates to, “Give me all your personal power. Believe whatever I tell you to believe, by all means, agree to censorship and do not read anything I tell you not to read.” They even confiscated my book, Sidetracked Home Executives, because one of the women in it got divorced. I never got it back, so I bought it again.
I studied with Bible-belt Baptists, and yes, I spent 6 years studying with Jehovah’s Witnesses. And no, I do not need to hate you, shun you, or anything worse simply because you believe something different than I believe.
Freedom and Free Will is God-given, not humanly ordained.
Now I am an international, ordained, interfaith Universal Life Church (ULC) minister, with a compassionate understanding of all faiths. I know what they know, and what was left out of their education. I continue taking extra courses in the ULC Seminary to better understand humanity in my worldwide ministry.
I earned a Masters in Chaplaincy certification visiting the sick and those both pre- and post-treatment at Harrington Hospital for the required hours to earn my certification.
I also earned the Doctor of Spiritual Awareness and Doctor of Universal Order certifications in the Universal Life Church Seminary where my education is on-going.
I do not believe in religious censorship, burying or burning books. I do believe in sharing the truth hidden in the scrolls of sacred scriptures found and preserved in the caves at Nag Hammadi, Egypt, as well as in a cave in Qumran. Please know there is much more than you have been told unless you know everything that Jesus said during those buried (some say missing years) of His life. They were not missing. They were hidden from you to make you more controllable. I will share what I have discovered here with you. Ignorance is not bliss.
I share my research on the scriptures found at Nag Hammadi, the Books of Enoch, and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

In this blog, I also discuss the Sacred Scriptures found that Jesus spent his missing years, from ages 13-30 in India and the Himalaya Mountain region. The Books of Enoch predate Genesis. Jesus not only studied the Books of Enoch and respected them enough to refer to them over 100 times in the New Testament.
Humanity has only been allowed to know the first 12 years of the life of Jesus, and his years from 30-33, for a total of 15 years. Are you aware that Jesus said many profound things between his ages 12-30, for a total of 18 years? There is so much more of what Jesus said, which any Christian proclaiming to know what Jesus said might like to consider.
How dare any religious leader call the words of Jesus Christ apocryphal because the words of Jesus during his ages 12-30, those 18 years, do not agree with any particular religious denomination?
The words of Jesus can also be found in the Nag Hammadi Scriptures. I do not think it is right to condemn the adult words of Jesus as apocryphal simply because they do not agree with the human interpretation of many denominations.
Every person has the freedom to use their God-given free will to learn all that Jesus taught, which does not need anyone else’s human permission nor interpretation coating the words of Jesus. Do not give your personal power away to anyone, no matter who they are ever again.

A very dear friend of mine, who is also a former student and co-worker wrote this gracious testimonial:
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. You will always be one of my great mentors. I have four mentors, women in my life and you are the number one. I look forward to seeing you somehow even if I have to just come up for one night to visit. I would love to be in your energy. ~ Donna C.

Among the many books, newspapers, and magazines that I am published in, I have five prayers and meditations included in the book: More Weddings, Funerals and Rites of Passage, More Sample Ceremonies for Celebrants, Officiants and Ministers.
For all ministers, clergy of every denomination, and everyone interested in prayers, meditations, and practical services, this book which may be purchased at: https://store.ulc.net/Universal-Minister-Manual-p/ministers-handbook.htm. This is a beautiful help to all ministers and can be easily adapted to specific denominations.
The following are the five prayers I wrote for your benefit:
House Blessing
Angels of Light and Love, fill this house with the radiant warmth of our Divine Creator.
Touch every nook and cranny with peace, harmony and compassion of our Divine Inspiration.
Allow all family, friends and guests to bask in the tender and loving embrace of the I Am Presence in all of us who live here.
Ground our house with understanding and forgiveness.
And forever be the pillar of strength that supports our hearts and our minds.
Meal Blessing
Bless this food, Oh God, with Your Heavenly Vibration.
Raise the level of my awareness to realize the wholesome goodness in what You have grown for me.
Nourish me in body, mind, and soul and transform this food into loving service of You.
Yard Blessing
Thank You God, Author of all life, for this yard, this part of the earth You have allowed me to care for.
I ask Your blessing on all living, growing things, that they flourish under Your ever-watchful eye.
Allow my hands to be Your hands as I work the soil, plant the seed, feed the birds and care for the animals You send my way.
Let those who walk by enjoy the beauty of Your creation and breathe in the tranquility of Your Spirit.
Night Blessing
Oh Divine Mother Spirit, care, protect and nurture us this night.
Show us our Divine Helpers, our Guardian Angels, Our Solar Angels, the Archangels.
Remind us we are not alone.
Surround us with our spiritual guides, our animals guides, our healing devas.
Help us remember our dreams, that place where you speak to us and unfold our lives.
Embrace our footsteps of the day as we journey on our way to You.
Receive our love for You as we love one another, loving You in them.
Driver’s Blessing
Help me to remember, Oh God, that I am not Mario Andretti.
Send me gentle reminders that this road that I am on is not the Indy 500.
Let me see the person in front of me as my friend, as You.
Please don’t look back in the rearview mirror Lord, I’ll try to be better, safer, more tolerant.
And I’ll try not to drive faster than my angels can fly.

One of the most transcendent courses I took was from the Supreme Science Qigong Foundation taught by Jeff Primack, March 5-8, 2011, for a total of 32 hours, at the Connecticut Conference Center in Hartford. This covered Qigong healing using breathwork techniques in Levels 1, 2, and 3. I also took the additional 8-hour class the next day to learn how to use food as medicine. In all it was a 40-hour course that turned out to be one of the most transformative educational classes in my holistic health career.
I am so glad that I stayed for the extra day, for the optional food as medicine component, extending time away from my business, The Massage Clinic, in Stratford, CT and satellite offices in Milford, Orange, and West Haven. I came home with DVDs showing Primack going through all the moves he taught the hundreds of us all at once. The energy in that auditorium was palpable and phenomenal.
This was a poignant reminder that with Eternal Universal Life Force Energy, there is no time, nor space, between the hundreds of students of all ages attending and practicing every move and thought he taught us. For me, it was like the powerfully moving charismatic meetings I had gone to, not with the indoctrination, but similar by elevating the energy in the room to an extremely healing place. All was One. You too can heal.
When medical doctors had done all that they could for their patients, some who were on their way out of this life, were sent to Jeff Primack to see if using food as a treatment could possibly save their life. Primack said in that class that he saw people heal from their maladies, which is why medical doctors today back his research of using food as medicine.
Who would have thought that food could heal a body better than chemical medicines could?
In more cases than one, by using Qigong and Primack’s smoothie recipes, the person sent to him by the doctors, was healed by the innate life generating and healing properties found in organic and high phytochemical foods.
Over 100,000 hardcover copies of his books have been sold, according to Amazon.com which said, “Conquering Any Disease is endorsed by top surgeons and doctors who have recommend these food protocols to help reverse disease naturally. This book engages all types of people to eat God s most healing foods. At the back of the book is an extensive glossary of food phytochemicals and fatty Acids that will elevate your understanding of nutrients to the next level.
“This is the 15-Year Anniversary Scientific Edition with the most compelling studies. It is the first book of its kind to Quantify Key Pigments/Phytochemicals (and show sources of data that doctors require) in ALL the most healing foods. It’s 300 pages of life saving wisdom fully illustrated to help you learn all you ever needed to know about food. Conquering Any Disease book covers the following conditions: Allergies, Alzheimer s, Memory, Anti-Viral, HIV, Hepatitis, Anemia, Arthritis, Inflammation, Asthma, Lung Disease, Autism, Cancer, Tumor, Immune Weakness Colds, Flu Virus, MRSA, Digestive, Constipation, IBS, Ulcers, Depression, PTSD, Diabetes, Eye, Vision, Diseases, Heart Disease, Stroke, Cholesterol Crystallization, Infertility, Insomnia, Kidney Stones, Liver Disease, Cirrhosis, MRSA, Infection, Menopause, Muscle Building, MS, Jing, Hair, Osteoporosis, Parkinson s, Seizures, Sexual Power, Thyroid, Weight Loss.”

This book goes back in time to the days of Old Sturbridge Village (1830’s), starting at the Christmas by Candlelight celebration in real time, back to the days of the Underground Railroad, Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin, and back further to the days of Noah and the Nephilim, and to the days of the birth of Jesus.

Parents asked me to write this next book, which is the first book I wrote, THE VIRTUE OF VIRTUES. It was first published in 1999 and republished in 2020.
It is a seven-lesson morality curriculum, teaching children in grades five through eight how to deal with social situations that call for them to practice faith, hope, and love in their decision-making process. This book is appropriate for all children and Bible reading parents.
At that time, I was voted in by the town as one of two parents allowed to be on the new board as part of the landmark Massachusetts Education Reform Act of 1993 (MERA). The concept was for this board to push the academic content and high standards over the Bush I and Clinton administrations’ agenda of K-12 education as merely workforce development training.[1]
[1] How Massachusetts Showed the Way on Education Reform | School Choice (pioneerinstitute.org)
I was voted in as co-chairman of the local school MERA board. The other co-chairman was principal of the elementary school. I hoped to address the education curriculum including the sex education curriculum, but the board opted to rewrite the elementary school’s handbook instead.
After I stated that we might consider teaching ethics, the other co-chairman asked whose ethics ought to be taught. I knew then that I needed to write this book. They did not want anything smacking of anyone’s personal religion to be taught in secular schools at that time. It seems today’s agenda seems to be welcoming only the Christian Right Maga views of wanting to put the Ten Commandments into all public schools, ignoring the separation between Church and State.
I modeled each lesson in The Virtue of Virtues with what was familiar to me, the same reporter questions that are the basis for every good news article I ever wrote, including sections in each chapter covering the questions of WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHY, WHERE, and HOW.
This is how students can navigate difficult situations in which they often find themselves. This has been taught in CCD programs once a month for the first seven months of the school year, and in other years, for the first seven weeks of the CCD school year once a week from October through December.
It is also a wonderful addition to homeschooling children in their own homes. This can be done in one lesson a night for one week, spread out once a week for seven weeks, or once a month for seven months, as the family or as groups of neighborhoods, friends, and families see fit.

I am a Metaphysician, a Reiki Master Teacher, 13th in line to Dr. Mikao Usui, who only re-discovered the Usui Reiki System of healing, and is not the founder of it. I only mention this because Reiki is so well known. However, what he discovered in the 1800s is only the tip of the iceberg, originally given to us by Germain, currently working with the NPMDT™ system of healing. There are myriad other energy systems of holistic healing that currently exist. Now is the time for energy workers everywhere to share their knowledge and gifts with humanity, Earth, and cosmos however you can.
As a life-long-learner, I continued to uncover some of what I had not yet learned in the metaphysical world beyond Reiki, which I later discovered is merely the beginning.
Curiosity sparked my interest. I asked my I Am Presence, what you may know as your Higher Power, or your Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy (God), when I saw an ad for an expansion of healing energy, if this class was for me. I sensed it was and took a series of these classes until I learned that New Paradigm Multidimensional Transformation™ is the graduate curriculum of the next stages of hands-on healing which Jesus, Buddha, and Krishna practiced, to my comprehension.
I am a 2005 graduate of the American Institute of Holistic Health & Wellness, studying under the late Dr. Dolores Seymour.
All of these courses melded for me. There are not many different Earths for the many different belief systems and experiences. I think of it as semantics, using different words to express similar energies and occurrences.
I took classes from the late Dr. Dolores Seymour and went to her classroom space in New York. She was a very impressive and dynamic teacher. If you get the chance, you can find her book, Who Cares Why? from used bookstores. I found it to be extremely liberating from the usually life-long counseling traps. Her methods worked 100% of the time in my experience.
The American Institute of Holistic Health & Wellness is no longer in existence since her passing on but was accredited by the American Association of Drugless Professionals, and the National Accreditation and Certification Board. This is a lifetime and international certification. I have studied extensively in the fields of holistic health in mind, body and spirit which naturally includes counseling on all life issues, and bodywork.
There are drugless therapies that work very well most of the time when applied, and have no chemical side effects, obviously, except when they are not followed.
I am trained in Mind Inspired New Dynamics System, also known as M.I.N.D.S. Holistic Alternative Psychology has an emphasis on methods, individualized plans of action, fostering the ability of the individual to reach his or her highest potential physically, emotionally and spiritually; with advanced perspectives of positive personal growth, changing attitudes from negative to positive; enhancing intuition and self-discovery through creative endeavors, and improving health as impacted by psychological states.
I work with M.I.N.D.S. Wellness & Body/Mind Consciousness, which features positive self-analysis/awareness, self-control development programs, conditioning the healing mind, controlling mood swings, anxiety, avoiding depression and raising self-esteem to its highest level.
M.I.N.D.S. Meta-Psychology is person centered rather than technically oriented, and focuses on psychological health, consciousness, human possibilities, and challenges of body, mind and spiritual development. A person cannot heal in any program void of attention to their own spiritual development. As a matter of fact, many mental and physical ailments can be discovered when spiritual sickness is at the root of the problem.
This blog addresses mental health, physical health and spiritual health. Spirituality touches all aspects of life including but not limited to religious, spiritual, educational, social, political, financial, etc. This blog addresses all aspects of life. What we believe touches it all.
I am a former member of the Branford Hall Career Institute Advisory Board; and former owner of The Massage Clinic, LLC which had four offices in Connecticut, and more than 8,000 appointments helping everyone to achieve balance and health in mind, body and spirit. I personally held 5,000 of these appointments, making lifelong friends in the process.

I am a graduate of Taliloquay School of Energy Remedies, taught by Phyllis Brooks. This program teaches the development of flower essences and what they can do for you through holistic therapy. Western medicine mimics the powerfully healing energies of flower essences, a sign of the future built upon the successful therapy of what worked in the past. The energies of flower essences were also discovered by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s, now famous for 38 remedies. He was a medical doctor who kept having patients come to him for things repeatedly until he switched from western to eastern medicine approaches using flower essences, which went to the source of the health issue rather than the side-effect of the issue.
I have found the flower essences of Phyllis to be extremely helpful for stress, anxiety, worry, depression, and grief, as well as many maladies which have physical manifestations. Flower essences are nature’s most pure form of energetic healing frequencies. https://www.taliloquay.com.
Here is an amazing synergy occurrence. Around 2008, I was asked to be a speaker at the Northampton Expo when the venders were to be taking their breaks between the more well-known Expo speakers. When I was finished, I toured the vendor’s booths. I came across a fascinating booth of flower essences, like those of the famous Dr. Bach and his Rescue Remedy which I liked when I felt stressed. I soon discovered that this booth was being overseen by Phyllis Brooks, who taught my New Paradigm Multidimensional Transformation™ teacher. It truly is such a small world.
This amazes me still to this day. Here was Phyllis Brooks, the founder of Taliloquay School of Energy Remedies and https://www.taliloquay.com. Phyllis took lessons from John Armitage who comes from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and works directly with Germain. It turns out that Germain is the founder of the Reiki system in all its variations. Germain in this generation of humanity is co-founder with John Armitage in teaching New Paradigm Multidimensional Transformation™ to the world. This is the world I hail from too.
