Education:
1981 - Doctor of Divinity, Doctorate in Metaphysical Science awarded, University
of Metaphysics, Los Angeles, California.
1978 - My Master's Thesis, "The Educational Awakening of Spiritual
Science in the New Age," explored indoctrination, developments, and
changes in traditional educational objectives, values, and outcomes, as
opposed to the views of Spiritual Science and outcomes of studies
regarding self-knowledge. It centered on holistic education involving
scholastic and individual development of each member of local and global
interactive communities.
1980 - My Doctoral Dissertation, "The Metaphysical Psychology of
Consciousness as Related to Selfishness," was an examination of
negative and positive world views and the effects of certain
self-centered societies in history as those societies attempted to
develop new, just forms of social living. I identified and evaluated
benefits and drawbacks of maintaining "we and ours" versus
"me and mine" perspectives. The dissertation addressed why the
world populace seems to be drifting further apart, and what, if
anything, can or should be done to transform contemporary selfish
patterns of social development.
