| 1959 |
In 1959, Dr. Masters opened
the Institute of Parapsychology in the heart of Beverly Hills,
California. The aim of the institute was to research higher and expanded
states of consciousness as they related to spiritual reality and human
self betterment. He built a large following of students and had to
relocate to the Hollywood area where larger space was available. During
the same time period, Dr. Masters trained his first few teachers. |
| 1963 |
In 1963, Dr. Masters opened the Metaphysical
Foundation as a follow-up to research findings amassed in the Institute
of Parapsychology. The study and research now focused primarily on the
practices of meditation. Thousands of research experiences by
experimenting students were recorded and the effects on their practical
daily lives and spiritual unfoldment were noted. During this time, Dr.
Masters trained numerous meditation teachers. |
| 1965 |
In 1965, information gathered in the previous
years of research began to spread beyond the Southern California area in
the form of printed lessons. Because of this, the National Metaphysics
Institute was founded by Dr. Masters. The lessons attracted attention in
all parts of the country from people who wished to learn and to teach
the spiritual truths revealed in the lesson materials. Dr. Masters
created specific ministerial ordination programs so students could
obtain ministerial status through distance learning and home study. |
| 1976 |
In 1976, Dr. Masters applied for and gained the
legal right to establish the University of Metaphysics and grant
non-secular degrees. These degrees were to be granted to those who were
ordained by the N.M.I. ministry up to a Doctoral Degree level. The
new programs were to fill a need voiced by current students. At that
time, Dr. Masters began to advertise the Doctoral program in various
regional and national magazines related to metaphysics. As if by Divine
plan, enrollments came from all over the United States, as well as the
entire world. |
| 1989 |
By 1989, thousands had enrolled in Doctoral
Degree programs throughout the world. The organization and its
university had become international. To meet the needs of this enormous
growth, Dr. Masters incorporated the International Metaphysical Ministry
which exists up to the present day. |
| 2002 |
In 2002, Dr. Masters visited Sedona, Arizona—a
place he had heard of for years as having a great deal of metaphysical
activity. Dr. Masters knew people who claimed to have spiritual
experiences in energy vortexes in the area. The spiritual energy and the
inspiring beauty of Sedona, combined with inner higher guidance caused
Dr. Masters to take steps to create a University there. |
| 2003 |
In 2003, Dr. Masters was granted the legal right,
in Arizona, to found the University of Sedona. He was also granted the
legal right to award non-secular degrees up to Doctoral or Ph.D. level
in the various ministerial specialties of the organization—the
International Metaphysical Ministry. |
| 2004 |
In 2004, in order to centralize the function of
the two university programs—the University of Metaphysics was moved in
its entirety (all accumulated records of thousands of students and
graduates) to the Sedona area. This meant that tuition rates would
continue to be affordable. |
| NOW |
The University of Metaphysics and the newer
University of Sedona continue to grow, with a worldwide student
population in the thousands. Both Universities are still under the
direction of Dr. Masters. From its beginning in 1959 and having
attracted an international alumni—the student population continues to
study and bring the higher truth of human nature to a world so in need
of it. |
