Maria could not have known, by any means, where the poor woman had fallen. In other words: she had found the woman with her hanging lamp - and with that alone. The question is: How? That is what I was going to ask."Everything in the universe vibrates and sends out different waves", Maria explained. "That applies to plants as well as animals, minerals as well as people. To find something or someone that has gone missing the vibrations which hold a connection with the subject or the person must be investigated and determined. That is what I did with the help of the star sign and the photo of the woman. Then I simply gave the information to my hanging lamp and asked for the source of these vibrations to be pointed out on the map - in other words: where this person could be found. When the explanation was given in this way it became incredibly easy to understand and even obvious.
But was it all as easy as Maria said it was? Doesn't one need to possess special powers or an exceptional gift to make such wonders possible? Maria burst out laughing."Of course you need a gift! And in my family we have possessed spiritual gifts for generations. The golden flecks that you see in my eyes form "the sign". In the Middle Ages I would have been burnt at the stake. And they made it possible for my uncle, Father Camillo Vassalli, to be considered a saint in the small village where he was a minister and where the villagers still say that he performed miracles. He died in 1953. Before he died he transferred his gift to me. He also taught me how I could make use of the gifts that I have and have slowly discovered since my childhood".
