DOCTOR OF DIVINITY PROGRAM

in Metaphysics and Spirituality  (DDMS)

A program of heightened spiritual awareness, investigation and expression.

Now offered in Northern Florida in classes and by correspondence study world wide available to all ADL ministers in good standing.  

Because of the individualized nature of this program, one can always apply.  This program can be taken concurrently with new minister internship. All ADL ministers are encouraged to apply.

YEAR ONE (Part 1)

The first year is studying and completing the lessons and metaphysical exercises in the channeled book by our ADL founder the Reverend Dr. Barbara Selwa titled, “THE DOORWAY TO ULTIMATE SEEING, A DOCTORAL WORKBOOK.”
This book has been brought to us by Spirit to heighten and hone our intuitive and psychic gifts and to help us communicate consistently at a higher spiritual level. (This book is only available to DDMS students)  The 12 major sections move the doctoral student to an intense intuitive approach in a personal unveiling and understanding of The Universe. This program contains wisdom and knowledge that was only available to the highest levels of study in the mystery schools of bygone ages, where a student had to study for a lifetime to get to this profound level. This material will change one’s life and enabling them to perceive reality in a totally new way. These studies bring the doctoral student to a closer control of one’s destiny, both here on earth and elsewhere.

It has been said when you know the Truth, it will set you free. Students of this material will be “well on their way and their spiritual wings have sprouted.”  Unenlightened people are mesmerized by the small fire inside of their cave of ignorance. (see Plato)  They are so convinced that the fire is the only reality that they have never sought the sun. Students of the DDMS material open to a greater light. They will roam from their small fires and find the Sun and the Truth.

YEAR TWO (Part 2)

The second year of study the DDMS student will examine the world religions in depth, and find the spiritual, intuitive, prayerful, and healing truth that is the common foundation of each of them. This leads to appreciation, understanding and tolerance for the uniqueness of the spirituality and Love that is part of each.

YEAR THREE (Part 3)

This final year of study is for personal research and the development of a personal dissertation in which the student will create a unique creation, relying heavily on one’s own newly enhanced intuitive abilities and knowledge of the world’s religions. Some students will be invited to present their creations at ADL Conferences.

Each part of the program is expected to take approximately one year and the tuition for each part is $1,000.00. This amount may be increased in the future. For students interested in “fast-tracking” their studies, the three part program can be completed in two years minimum. The program must be completed in five years.

Each student will choose or be assigned a professor/mentor, who has been especially trained as a DDMS instructor.  These are very specialized and intense lessons. If a student asks the DDMS program administrator to assign them to an instructor, this will be accomplished using the geographical location of students and professors, as well as the overall balance of the program as the criteria. The majority of the work is personal and intuitive, but may require some coaching. The professor/mentor is there for encouragement, overview, and to help answer questions and assist the student while they are on this special journey.

There may be some kind of a special DDMS get-together with fellowship and fun the Friday before each ADL conference for all DDMS Students and Faculty. This will be an opportunity to obtain special insights, a chance to know, learn from and interact with the other DDMS Students and Professors and the opportunity to integrate what has been personally discovered and experienced. Details will be in advertised in advance.

This course leads to enlightenment, spiritual leadership and professionalism. It is not an easy course of study and will require personal dedication, effort, commitment, and personal resources. The rewards are great, and the graduates of this program will be able to hold their heads up high and announce to the world, “I am a spiritual professional. Through Divine Love, I have taken myself to some of the deepest and most profound spiritual levels. I am a Doctor of Divinity, in Metaphysics and Spirituality.”

Listen Closely to Experiences of the Professors of the DDMS Program.....
"The brilliance of Rev. Dr. Selwa and her guides is magnified in the DDMS program. In PART I, I was brought into a greater awareness of myself and all that is. Being a double Gemini, the meditations were the hardest part. I asked my guides to show me how and it worked!

PART II brought me peace, confirming that we are all brothers and sisters and that no matter what our path to God, it was based on the Greatest Degree of Love for all. I finally figured out, on a new level, that I am just love, and what a great thing to be! My dissertation [was] on the Spiritual and Religious Nature of the Andean Path. I have worked with some of the most noted teachers in this field. With the help of Q’ero Indians in Peru at many of the most sacred sites, [I experienced] the original initiations of the Andean tradition. This has led me to create a workshop.

"As Rev. Dr. Selwa said, ‘It might not always be easy, but it will always be worth it.’ No truer words have been spoken." Rev. Dr. Wanda L. Beebe, DDMS, Huntsville , AL

"My experience with the DDMS has been a milestone and a rite of passage in personal spiritual development. Expansion of consciousness, empowerment of spiritual purpose, and development of new ministerial direction has been significant on all levels.

The material that Rev. Dr. Selwa has developed escorts the doctoral student each step of the way in his/her personal spiritual development, allowing Spirit to guide the process. The rewards are priceless." Rev. Dr. Autymn Renee Allen, DDMS, Dallas , TX

"The changes I have seen this program make in myself and others is beyond description. I have gone deeper with my intuitive abilities than I thought possible. Exploring the spirituality of the World’s religions resonated in such positive and important ways; I literally was with those Saints and Enlightened Masters as they had their spiritual awakenings.

It was a privilege and an honor to write my dissertation using what I have learned since my spiritual leadership adventure began in 1970 [enhanced by] the fine tuning of my newfound intuitive skills. "God Bless Rev. Dr. Selwa and the ADL for providing this opportunity." Rev. Dr. Bob Estling, DDMS, Gainesville , FL

"The ADL Ministerial Program is life changing, but the Doctorate Program goes beyond this and opens up vistas that you have not even dreamed of. It is a global event -- the more people who take the program, the more the world will change." Rev. Dr. Barbara Hanshaw, DDMS, WPB , FL

"This program has expanded my consciousness and connection with All That Is. I had an extensive background in etaphysics and spiritual practice prior to beginning the Doctoral program. However, I was unprepared for the leap into inner-space and self-discovery that came of the first year’s work. It demonstrated that true learning and wisdom come not from attending classes, seminars, and reading, but through steadfast practice of truth through daily meditation.

Part I is direct personal experience with All That Is; a starship journey into previously uncharted territories of Self. It was the most exciting and rewarding journey I’ve ever taken into the realm of personal power. Parts II and III are deeply satisfying. For anyone who yearns for greater awareness and enlightenment, here is your ticket to spiritual expansion you cannot imagine. Rev. Dr. Kara Hawkins, DDMS, Kansas City , MO

"I was ordained Easter Sunday, 1984. Nineteen years later, I graduated from the DDMS program. Part I [took] me to the core of my inner-net and hidden recesses of my mind, heart, and soul, and from inadequacy to empowerment. I felt like a child in taking a college course, but I applied the suggested tech niques and grew more comfortable with ‘focusing, soaring, and spanning the alternative realities.

’ I grew from ‘feeling’ I was a magnificent creation of God to knowing it! Part II presented the discovery that all religions have LOVE at their base and each chooses a different path to achieve the same goal -- oneness with the Creator. Part III was the culmination of everything I had studied as a minister. My thesis was on ‘Ceremonies of Celebration.’ "How great was the overwhelming love I experienced on graduation day. I continue my journey of self-discovery, leading to Oneness with God and All of Creation." Rev. Dr. Jo Ann Elf Pessagno, DDMS, Tampa , FL
