While each person’s spiritual journey is unique, there are common themes and landscapes that we share. In this meeting I share my personal understanding of the evolution that takes place as we evolve out of being a self-centered individual, to being divinely centered (unity), and finally beyond to No-Self. In Part 2, I fill in some gaps left out of the first meeting, and focus on people’s questions and inquiries. The post A Map of the Spiritual Journey Part 2 appeared first on Susanne Marie ....

Being present means resting your awareness (your ability to notice), upon that which it is noticing. In this way, you are aware of something, as well as simultaneously being aware that you are aware. Allow your awareness to meet (and join), whatever you are experiencing. This will be felt as well as sensed, and is not meant to be an intellectual exercise (although mind does play a part). This practice helps bring two things together: Our inherent emptiness … The post A Meditation Practice: Resti...

Sometimes the only way to be free of something is to allow yourself to be fully trapped. Our desire to escape suffering creates it’s own bondage. Most of us are intially drawn to spirituality with the understandable desire to feel better and in general to be released from suffering. But this desire in itself playes into the belief that something needs to be done about how we are feeling. that we need to somehow disappear … The post The Wisdom of No Escape appeared first on Susanne Marie ....

The journey of opening to the suffering of others begins with ourselves. Compassion blossoms with the realization that we are the one responsible for allowing our own hearts to open, and that turning towards our pain rather than away is the key. Once we have the strength to embrace ourselves as we are, then this ability naturally turns outwards to include the pain of others in our world.

Without the engagement of our hearts our spiritual and life journey is dry and barren. Devotion is the ability to reach outside of ourselves with trust that something greater exists than what we ourselves know or understand. This something is the mystery of existence itself. It is divinty inherent within all things. When we lean into trust that there is a greater intelligence guiding our lives, we are able to let go of our limited … The post The Path of Devotion. appeared first on Susanne Marie ...

A new interview with Renate McNay and Susanne Marie Filmed in London September 2018. In this interview, Susanne maps out her spiritual unfolding with three distinctly different types of realizations.

There is a force within that knows how to live this life. Learning how to attune and open to what is intelligently guiding life is accessing the same power that is guiding the universe. Life in its intelligence knows what it is doing. When we open to what surrender really is, we leave the need to control behind and open to what the beauty of allowance and trust offers.

Why do we dim the light of our knowing? Why do we give power away to authorities outside ourselves, forgetting that we hold access to direct knowing through the inherent intelligence of our own light of awareness?
