Registration for this course is closed. Mary Reed was an agnostic, successful healthcare executive in Washington, DC. Quite unexpectedly, in the summer of 2000, she began to experience a deep resonant voice in her consciousness that told her that she would be doing something very important. The voice was persistent and unpredictable, but seemingly could not be eliminated. It was so “invasive” that it began to unnerve her, and she sought counseling from a variety of therapists, shamans, and other various practitioners. Most were not helpful and were often skeptical. She sank into deep confusion and despair, and in 2011 took a carefully calculated lethal dose of medications. Recovering from this inauspicious beginning, she experienced her odyssey into an awakened state that took her to a nunnery in the Himalayas for further refinement that eventually resulted in a complete realization of divine consciousness. For the last two decades, she has been a teacher to the world through a profound but very human mystical lens. NOTE: This is not about religion and no dogmatic assertions will be given concerning the ultimate meaning of Mary Reed’s teachings. They, ultimately, speak for themselves. The books that may be most helpful if more information is desired is “Unwitting Mystic” and “Humanity's Epic Awakening” by Mary Reed.
