University of Metaphysical Sciences Name Change

The University of Metaphysical Sciences has made a recent name change to the Wisdom of the Heart Church. Their previous name was in conflict with another name and after careful consideration - they decided upon Wisdom of the Heart Church.

The degrees they grant still have the same credentials and the organization still has the same status under the IRS in the United States. The courses are mainly done online.

Anyone wishing to have their degrees formerly granted by the University of Metaphysical Sciences replaced with a name change to the Wisdom of the Heart Church may do so for a nominal fee.

Publishing Your School Essays

I am working on this current book called School Works - Other Essays. I have also written recently Yes, School Works and School Works. All of these books were spawned from my realization that all those essays you write in postgraduate education are publishable work.

Many terrific ideas come out of school essays. I know this from doing them, as well as reading them in the past, plus currently reviewing student work as a teacher. I would encourage everyone - from professionals to students to consider publishing the work they have done while in school. When you think about it, your teacher, instructor, professor is acting as the editor and you have the perfect opportunity to benefit from making some money out of all the money you have put into school. There are various sites you can go to that would help you to self-publish if that is an option for you. The one I use is Lulu.com and the website to buy my books is: http://stores.lulu.com/kakonged. I have now written 17 books, edited one and I have a CD of radio documentaries I have done with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, plus two audio stories for download. You can make some residual income from it.

Education Issues

Many people go to Liveperson.com for advice on various matters, from fashion advice to writing advice to tarot counseling. The times I have used the service in the past were once under a screen name of "Toronto." I discovered many interesting things about the people I chatted to online that eventually lead me to writing two books called Draft: eSpirituality Chats and Draft: Part Two. These books can be bought at: http://stores.lulu.com/kakonged.

The main reason why I was going to the site was to find out if going back to school was the right choice for me. I teach and write in Toronto and wanted to know if going back to school would be the right career move.

The psychics I spoke to, most of them told me I would get in, however I did not get into the doctorate-level programs I was hoping to get into. Instead I got into a second master's program, yet this time in education.

Recently I have had my third offer from my first choice school and once I did accept and registered for courses, I realized that I could take doctorate-level courses, while still being a master's student. If I had understood this from the beginning, I would have accepted my first offer, however at least it is not too late. The ironic thing is that I could have had the degree finished by now.

Schools often make you wait a long time in order to find out the status of your application. My training and experience in journalism has helped me a lot, however did not help my patience. I would recommend from my experience to keep busy as you are waiting for those school offers to come in. Stick to your dreams - and when they happen be grateful for them.
