This has been a difficult and amazing time. The University of Metaphysical Sciences has been there for me through all these years. They never gave up on me, they always believed that I would complete that which I have started with them. This school is a modern day mystery school of higher education and I would greatly encourage anyone who is serious about obtaining a higher level of education to really take a good and hard look at the University of Metaphysical Sciences. Although their courses are indeed difficult when put into practice but it is well worth it. This is a modern day mystery school, God school so the question becomes. . . .who’s report will YOU believe because that decides if you are on TOP of the situation or UNDER the circumstances. I encourage you to get into the light where you BELONG! Love and Blessings. . . . .Peace.

Since I started with UMS and finished my bachelors. I have learned so much and have healed more than I ever thought. When I wrote my culminating project for my master’s the words, the thoughts and memories flowed through me. In a meditative state. I was taken back into time when I could see and remember in vivid detail my past. I allowed myself to taste, see, hear, and remember the things I buried away. During this self-reflection in these moments, I was able to process what was happening as an adult. I was able to apologize and heal my inner child. I felt free and not locked into my old thought patterns. I have been put onto this path by the universe. I believe that in healing myself I will be better able to help others in my spiritual and intuitive soul counselling practice. There are a few other certifications that I would like to pursue in the future as well to be of further service to others. Now on to the doctorate. I am so excited to be on this journey.

I’ve just completed my Master’s Degree, M.Div. and I plan to complete my PhD. For the last 25 years I’ve worked with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, inmates, and the homeless population. I have also been a foster parent and published a book. I told my pastor’s wife what I do, and she said, “that’s a ministry.” I had no idea there was a name for what I was doing outside of my job title. I will continue to work with this population with hopes of bringing them love and light that will lift them up to a place they want to be. Currently, I am working on making changes for kids in Child Protective Custody and foster care.

Josmar is a Metaphysician, Investor, Business Growth Advisor, Author, and large-scale Event Producer.
Josmar began his professional career as an architectural designer and construction manager. After successfully doubling the size of the design firm he worked for, Josmar took on other projects outside of the architectural & construction industry. After 5 successful years in serving start-ups and working within the non-profit sector, he noticed a disturbing pattern emerge. He realized that an overwhelming majority of his co-workers, managers, partners and client’s employees had a challenging time adapting to changes, lacked energy, and were overwhelmed with stress in their business and lifestyle.
That inspired Josmar to embark on a journey of professional training in metaphysical sciences, energy psychology, psychological kinesiology, transpersonal counseling, transformational leadership, emotional intelligence, stress management, subconscious habit change, general health and nutrition, and leadership coaching in 2016 –which has allowed him to lead others in a way that feels supernatural.
Josmar now focuses on assisting founders in getting unstuck, mentally and emotionally so they can build their communities and businesses from an elevated level of consciousness and self-awareness.
