DR. MARIA MICHAEL AND THE GREAT MYSTERY

Dr. Maria Michael believes that we all come from the same Creation, and that everyone has the potential and capacity to talk with Creation. While the Lakota call Creation "The Great Mystery", other traditions may call Creation, among many other names, "God", "the Universe", "Allah", "Yahweh", "Divine Love" or "Universal Love."

Maria believes that we not only choose our human families, but also we choose –- initially at least -- our own unique form or tradition of understanding and communication with the Great Mystery. No form or tradition is better than another. Humans are merely attempting to understand "That" which seems beyond understanding.

Since her childhood, Maria continues to learn how to refine and empty herself, to hear and see That which the Great Mystery chooses to show her. All messages from the Great Mystery come from a compassionate and loving place, even though at times these messages can be experienced as difficult. Creation gives us what we most need in whatever way that we can hear it. Sometimes, we are only capable of hearing deeply sensitive messages that resound in our hearts, and sometimes only strong and “seemingly” shocking messages will penetrate our defenses. This strong presentation often helps us hear what we have not yet been able to accept. This loving Spirit help is provided so that we may see, hear, and understand the obstacles that stand in our way of becoming whole, which has prevented us from being all that Creation intended for us.

It is through the form of CEREMONY that Maria “talks” with the Great Mystery. For those of you not familiar with the Lakota tradition, she prays while holding tobacco, inviting the Spirits and the Spirits surrounding the client to join both her and her client, to intentionally gain insight, information, and instruction for healing from them.
