Balancing Life in so Many Ways!
 
Do you believe that a spiritual teacher should demonstrate the truths they are teaching in their personal lives? Dr. Sue holds that belief!
 
When one follows a path of guiding others on their spiritual path, one ought to have worked out their own life path prior to making the commitment to teach others. In every area of our lives we are presented with growth opportunities throughout our life; this is one of those realities that we come to learn as we grow older. However, a spiritual teacher is held to a higher standard, one in which they can demonstrate the growth they have experienced by walking a well-balanced path for their life. Even in the midst of life's struggles, a spiritual teacher will be seen as a role model for others to follow in love, compassion, and doing what's right.
 
Holding a bachelor degree in business management, a master's degree in Business Administration, and a doctorate degree in Esoteric Studies, Sue has a well-rounded, well-grounded education that has benefited her in public life. Serving for many years in the field of academic marketing and public relations for private and community colleges, Sue has received many awards from state, regional, and national organizations for her marketing and public relations skills.
 
Active in her community, she has served as chair for many activities such as the Yavapai County Underage Drinking Taskforce and has served in roles such as chair for her local planning and zoning commission. Sue believes that each person should give back to their community to the best of their ability.
 
Sue also breeds and shows Beagles, another activity that she started over 40 years ago. Her "Desert Dawg" kennels have produced many champion Beagles that are loved by their owners.(www.desertdawgbeagles.com)

 

As pastor for World Fellowship Spiritual Communities, she serves a congregation, represents World Fellowship in community affairs and promotes World Fellowship through radio shows and print stories.

 

 Sue has three sons, one daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren (plus three doggie grandkids). Sue loves her family time when everyone gets together and she is known as, "Doctor Father Mom!" Always striving to maintain balance in her life, Sue gives thanks for all the blessings and abundance Spirit has brought into her life. "Life is good," she is fond of saying!

Mystical Tuning
 
As I drive into work each morning
I pass through a magical area
Where I pick up two very different
     radio stations.
Both alternate in a mystical dance,
One playing a few seconds
And the other slipping in a few words. Wisdom,
I suppose, for a modern time…
Mingling with echoes of an era long ago.
I feel as though I am caught between planes of existence
Dimensions from which, I can choose.

Each morning Spirit reminds me that I can choose…
To give myself over to the words of the modern world

Or choose the sacred, symbolized by the chants of the Native People.
Every day I can choose.

And life, gives us choices. Do we tune into fear,
Channels of war and hatred
Of intolerance…
Media hype keeping us afraid.
Or do we tune into channels of love, support, nurturing, kindness.
I can choose.
So I choose to turn off the news,
Walk by the stands of papers with headlines

Blaring at me, calling me to drop in coins.
I choose to pop in my music, or my books, selecting what
I allow into my mind. I choose what I dial in. I choose.
And I choose peace.

The Sunny Side of Life
designed to be affirmations
written by Dr. Sue

Every day the light of God shines through me-

It shines through my smile-

It shines through my heart-

It shines through my actions—

In everything that I say or do,

The light of God makes its presence known in the world through me!

 

I AM Divine Love manifesting in the world. 

Every thought I have-

Every word I speak-

Every action I take-

Reflects the Love of God in our world.

I AM Divine Love manifesting in the world.

 

I AM Divine Peace manifesting in the world.

I am consciously aware of my thoughts.

I am consciously aware of my actions.

I am consciously aware of consequences for my actions.

In everything I think and I do, I AM Divine Peace manifesting in the world.

 

Thank you Divine Spirit for filling me with your presence,

In every cell of my body—

In every aspect of my spirit,

I give thanks that I am One with you.

Everything in my life is in Divine Order.

Everything in my world is in Divine Order.

I am thankful.

And so it is!


 

 

 

 

           

 

 

 

 

 

 

Excerpts from Dr. Sue's talks:
 

The foundation of mindfulness or living in the present moment is the discussion, practice or instruction on just being here…right now, and allowing life to unfold just as it should. We can develop tools that will assist us with wandering minds, fear and worrying. Living in the present moment is not only about what we need to watch in our mental states, it is also about allowing life to unfold without judgment and how to embrace our lives fully. In this way our lives become our spiritual path, a path we can savor and celebrate in its fullness.

In accepting each of my own soul paths or soul goals as being inspired and being open to life unfolding EXACTLY as it should at any given moment, even if it didn’t look like what I thought I wanted to experience, I accepted the perfection and the truth shining through as Divine Light, into every situation. Even the gooey, messy ones that were hard to get through. I asked you if life ever feels like you are caught on a treadmill of soft taffy that is being stretched in order to make it palatable? I know that feeling! I have been there, more than once in my life.

I also talked about the need to keep the inspiration to ourselves in order to allow it to incubate, to cook until it is ready to come out into the world…kind of like a baby Kangaroo! And when we choose to bring the inspiration forth, take it to a person or persons that you absolutely trust, someone who will continue to feed your creation with support. Once the idea is out into the material world, spoken to another, a magical thing does happen! Your inspired creation will begin to grow on its own and draw to itself whatever it needs to manifest….the right people, places, situations and perfect time will

unfold for you. Miracles will happen!

 Change is the key word here because, as we all know, we cannot keep thinking or acting the same way we are at this moment and be open to greater good in our life. Something has to change, no matter how small the change may be or how immense the change may be, something has to change in my life and in your life too for even greater good to unfold in our lives.

An “Innie” understands the Law of Attraction and that one’s belief systems create the magnetic field around them that brings into their life, their health, wealth, friends, family and everything else one gets to experience on this planet. We are here to master this understanding and to know, REALLY KNOW how powerful we are. We CAN make choices not to play in the world of FEAR—forgetting that everything is ALL right! This brings the peace everlasting that Jesus taught. “I give my peace to you,”—he gave us this peace through the understanding of his teaching, not because we believed in him but because we understood what he was teaching about love and forgiveness.

As we move through our lives, let us remember to allow each person their path without having the need to defend ours to them. “You might be right!” a solid phrase to build common ground. And who is to say? They might be right…..whatever the issue!

     When Jesus says. “Embrace this God life, really embrace it,” what I believe is that we are to have ownership of it, hold it dearly to our hearts. The dictionary states that to embrace a thing is to hug it, hold it closely with one’s arms. If I embrace another, I pull them to my chest, to my heart.
 
 If we really understand that we are so close to God that God is part of us, we can accomplish anything. When Jesus says that we can order the mountain to jump in the lake, do you think he is saying that it just takes the faith of holding God close to us? I don’t believe so. I believe he is saying in this passage that we have to absolutely know that God’s will and our’s is one when we order the mountain to jump in the lake. No time for doubt. No time for separation.
 
We and God are one and in that consciousness we CAN accomplish anything. Even telling a mountain in the physical world to move from its location. (Star Wars—Yoda and Luke Skywalker---Don’t try! Do!!!)

The walls are tumbling down.
My message today is not of gloom and doom. No! My message is one of hope and recognition that the world we have known is ALREADY passing away! We are in transition preparing for the birth of a whole new world. We are given the tools of rising consciousness throughout the earth. We are those we have been waiting for and we, spiritual beings in a physical body, are coming to understand the power of our voice.

LIFE MANIFESTS FOR US AS WE BELIEVE IT SHOULD, COULD, OR WILL! As we believe. Belief is what happens when our thoughts meet with our faith, in our heart center. Our beliefs can change and our lives can manifest differently than what we see here and now. And, according to Gregg Braden and others, it can happen instantaneously. It is totally dependent upon our belief system.

What holds us back? Our belief in the physical world is stronger than our belief in ourselves. Our belief in our need to suffer, or our belief that others are in charge, or our belief that we are deserving in some way of the good we are here to experience, all of these false beliefs hold us back.

When I think of the master teachers who have spoken about this world being an illusion, I  believe that the illusion is that this world holds any power over us!
 
We acknowledge that we live and move and have our being in this field of consciousness we call God or Creator or Great Spirit. We are one with the Creator…we are spirits, consciousness just like the field of consciousness in which we reside having physical experiences.

In Philippians 2:9, the verb “highly exalted” is exactly the verb used by Jesus when He said, “As Moses lifted up the serpent so must the Son of man be lifted up.” In giving his life and being lifted up, like the fiery serpent, the God-in-man spirit is shifted from rebelliousness to obedience. This lifting up refers to the change in consciousness that must take place for us to have our sight, our focus, on spiritual things as opposed to worldly things. When we lift up our eyes, our focus, we are awakened to God’s very presence inside of us and God more than meets us halfway that we may know our divinity!

As we give of ourselves, without thought of compensation, we are richly rewarded with larger and larger vessels to allow more Spirit to flow into our lives. If we stop to think about anything we have given, we block the flow. If our intent is free-giving without concern about how we will make-up the difference, the flow will continue to replace that which was given and give us even more!

When we talk about all of us being one family, we are trained to think of this as only our human family but what if you could wrap your mind around the concept that EVERY SINGLE PART OF CREATION is your sister and your brother in the eyes of our Creator. We are all parts of the same Divine Mind, the same Divine Principle, and same Divine Law. We are all love incarnate, in a body.

     I am learning that I have less and less to do with the unfolding of my life. If I do the best I can do each day---I know that action reaps rewards. But even more, I know that as I do what I am called to do, moment to moment, with gratitude, contentment, and happiness in my heart, my mind, and my spirit---That our Divine Creator will move through all parts of my life to bless the world through me. In the lyrics to a song we hear, “In this very moment, there is just enough love, joy, and peace to go around.” The challenge to us, is not to miss the moment!

 We will always learn something from the experience, maybe not right away but the experience will enhance our souls and contribute to the fabric of “who” we are as spiritual beings. Take your stupid things and tuck them away until you can review them with enough love, enough forgiveness, and enough time in the rear view mirror to allow them to become gems for you!

If we act “as if” life is ALWAYS going to respond in the same way, it is. If we act “as if” our partner, our boss, our co-workers are ALWAYS going to respond in the same way, they will. But, if we CHOOSE to act differently, it gives others in our life the opportunity to act differently too.
