Priest and Teacher trained in the Holy Order of MANS. I believe that understanding comes from direct experience, not from reading a mountain of books. I help people take charge of their spiritual life by providing them with a systematic, self-guided program designed to get the most out of their spiritual practice and create a deep and fulfilling relationship with God. My teacher once told me, “If something is spiritually correct, it must also be scientifically correct.” This makes imminent sense to me and has motivated me over the years to find the parallel streams of consciousness in these two approaches to truth.
Infinity is your friend
Imagine the symbol of infinity
Just above the top of your head.
A figure eight.
A lemniscate.
But it's not a hat.
It's a symbol.
Feel the vastness of the space it symbolizes.
Infinite space, straight up.
Hi, I'm Michael Michael Maciel is a priest and spiritual teacher whose work focuses on renewing Western spiritual language from within its own tradition. Trained in the Holy Order of MANS, he received a disciplined foundation in contemplative Christianity that later allowed him to move beyond inherited forms without abandoning their core truths. Rather than rejecting tradition, Michael interrogates it—breaking rules only when they no longer serve meaning. His writing challenges readers to move beyond belief-as-identity toward understanding-as-responsibility, restoring symbols like “Christ,” “priesthood,” and “sonship” to their original depth and function. He writes for those who sense that spirituality must mature alongside culture, and that real faith does not seek exemption from responsibility—but inheritance of it. Email me.
