Dear Hakeem,
It was a pleasure to review your dissertation, Eternal Echoes. This is a huge topic to condense and you have done a masterful job at doing so.
Your work is an informative, enlightening and enjoyable dissertation with great supporting evidence. This is an important and highly relevant topic. Your comprehension of these metaphysical defining concepts of the universe and the thoroughness in your presentation were a joy to read. You present concise support for the complexity and driving curiosity of this subject matter in a very articulate way.
Of particular interest was the acknowledgement of the inadequacies of our current linguistic tools and how the role of symbolism and metaphor play in our ability to articulate the experiences we as humanity are capable of witnessing and sharing. The inclusion of the dynamic of how science and spirituality inform and enhance each other was a point well made and supported, as well as your suggestion of a path towards a more comprehensive appreciation for the "intricate matrix of existence" which demonstrate a holistic understanding of the topic as both a "physical reality and a metaphysical mystery", which is in perfect alignment with our curriculum at UMS. You did a very professional job at integrating the requirements of this Doctoral Dissertation with a great conclusion and comprehensive citation of literature.
Congratulations on a job well done! I wish you all the best in your future endeavors and look forward to seeing the incredible impact that your knowledge and experience will have on the health, metaphysical and wellness industry. From the entire UMS staff, we are proud of all the work that you have done throughout the program, and we celebrate your accomplishment!
With warm regard,

Dear Hakeem,
All of us here at University of Metaphysical Sciences want to congratulate you on the completion of your UMS Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate degree programs. You have completed a powerful and courageous journey, one that took dedication to facing your deepest fears, as well as embracing your greatest strengths. There were likely points on the path when you felt very challenged, maybe even times when you thought about giving up. But you stayed with it, through each stage, fulfilling the goal you set for yourself.
You journeyed through all the many meditations, Christine Breese's nurturing voice encouraging you to still your mind, relax your body, face your shadow, integrate your sub-personalities, experience your chakra energies, heal your heart, love your inner child, and how to manifest, astral project, explore your reincarnations, and strive toward unconditional love and forgiveness.
You have completed a vast array of over 80 courses, sent in exams and meditation responses, expressed your individuality through your creative projects, and thoroughly researched individual areas of metaphysics in order to write and submit both a master's culminating project and a dissertation. We are confident that you have grown greatly, both personally and spiritually, through this journey. We are all deeply honored to have been a part of this process for you, and your energy and contributions have catalyzed much growth here at UMS as well.
Now you have reached a new stage of your journey. You have completed your education with UMS, and you have been granted degrees which announce your qualifications as a well-equipped professional in the field of metaphysics. Whatever you choose to do with these qualifications, they are well-earned and richly deserved. We are very excited and proud to have the opportunity to stand behind you as a graduate. As you embrace service, and do your work as a healer, counselor, writer, minister, spiritual teacher, lightworker, or as you offer your love, energy, and guidance in your own chosen way. We know you are out there right now, changing the world!
There are many future plans and visions still developing here at UMS, and we will be sure to keep you updated on these upcoming events. We also wholeheartedly encourage you to keep in touch with us and the whole UMS community through our Facebook page.
Please let us all know what you are doing, where your journey has taken you, if you are offering healing, spiritual counseling, teaching, lecturing, writing books, holding church gatherings, or providing other services. Your sharing is sure to inspire new students, and you may have the opportunity to become a mentor to others on their path, if you so choose to. Be sure to keep us updated with events such as the launch of a new website and more, as we will be proud to announce these on Facebook.
The entire staff of UMS feel incredibly blessed to have connected with you and grown with you throughout your studies here. Please accept and fully receive our heartfelt and deeply sincere expression of love, admiration, and devotion as you move on to new adventures in growth and evolution.
