Doctor of Divinity

The Doorway Beckons…

The ADL Doctorate Program is one of the most profound, enlightening, and thought-provoking courses you will ever experience. It opens both left and right sides of your brain
and synchronizes them in perfect balance. It creates a new reality or platform for receiving information; allowing you to step out of the world of black and white to experience the gray and to transform your limited thought processes.

The course will take you in between me and space and teach you the ability to reach higher vibrational realms of existence and thought. It will push you beyond your own beliefs into a more expansive Place of Self.
Throughout this journey of consciousness, you will be amazed at who you are…and who you are becoming.

Part One – The Book:

The Doctorate has been designed by the Founder of the Alliance of Divine Love, as an adjunct to the ADL Ministerial Program. It is for the person wanting to further their course of spirituality and deepen to an inner awakening.

They say “the soul resides within the heart.” This course takes you on a Journey of Self to the very heart of all that you truly are; awakening you to the magnificence of your true spiritual nature and destiny. The Doctorate Program offers a course of study that will assist your ability to access answers outside of the three-dimensional world and analytical mind. It broadens horizons of Ascension and taps into the universal Oneness. When one embarks upon this journey, one never returns the same. The Doctorate will open unlimited doorways … with infinite possibilities.

Part Two – Comparative Religions:

This part of the ADL Doctoral Studies will hone your knowledge and insight about today’s most widely practiced religions. It bridges the gap between them and uncovers the common threads of truth found within them all. It will also help you understand how different cultures and different times on the planet created the differing philosophies that exist within them today.

As we continue into the 21st century, we begin to see how the new Spirituality is emerging and playing itself out. We now want less dogmatic teaching and more freedom of thought about who we are and who God is – the Divine Source of all that is.

Part Two affirms the fact that Expansion is part of Evolution. It helps us return to the roots of our ancestors: the Native Americans, the Celtic traditions, the Buddhist teachings that were so simple and in harmony with nature. The Part Two studies remind us to honor the Earth with a deep love for the jewel that is our home, and that we can look beyond the color and race of a person and see them as part of The Divine, within the oneness of our global family.

Part Three – Your Thesis:

This will undoubtedly be the most personally fulfilling step on your journey. In Part Three, you put into your own words something that you’re passionate about or compelled to write about. It is the “Dissertation of Your Soul.” For some, their thesis has become the book they have always wanted to write, or, a course curriculum they can begin to teach, or, a story that’s been begging to be put on the page to help others (or themselves) to heal. This is your journey. Ask your Spirit what It wants to express.

You will be guided … all along the way.

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
