In this spring 2022 public meeting clip held in Sebastopol, California, Susanne speaks about the beauty of longing and its place in one’s spiritual journey back to wholeness. She also touches on how to view ego as a movement in consciousness, something that one can feel into and help dissolve, and not as an actual entity, (which entrenches separation).

In the midst of information overload, and the real pain of the world, it is easy to forget how to consciously inhabit ourselves. In order to retain equilibrium during a massive collective imbalance, one has to make an effort to give attention to the inner life. It is a matter of what one ultimately values: being identified with the outer world, or the beauty of your own center.
Your inner center is a welcoming place of balance, silence, and refuge. It is waiting for you to discover that you contain an unmoving ground of being within you. It is your birthright to live from this undivided place, and it is a gift to the world at large which is in dire need of true nourishment.

Choosing to remain present to the alive moment is a vital spiritual practice. As a collective we are experiencing ongoing waves of fear and information overload, which makes it increasingly challenging to remain present and connected to one another.
Making an inner decision to open to everyday reality, helps in maintaining sanity in the midst of increasing mass hypnosis. Resisting the impulse to go into inner division (expressing itself as judgement), helps to maintain inner integrity as well as connectivity to others.
Being here in a grounded way, and not in a virtual zone, (including lost in thought), is a gift that we can share and support one another in. Your attention is a power that you can harness and use for liberation.

The habit of looking outside of oneself is a collective trance that has to be broken, in order to be free. As long as we are in imagination about the future or constantly recycling the past, we are not able to access eternal truth that is always here.
Making an inner decision in choosing to be present, and then practicing bringing ones attention back to Now, is vitally important. It takes courage and strength as what is here can be hard to bear.

Realization has many stages. With the awakening of mind, the Self is clearly cognized as separate from relative experience. This brings the ability for the mind to rest in and as awareness. As the heart awakens, it sees the world and itself as united and undivided, birthing compassion for all of life. With the awakening of the body, form knows itself to be God, and that “all this is That.” Recorded with Awakening Together in February 2017.

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.

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 formless), together with form (all that is arising).

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 a feeling by replacing it with the bliss or peace, or whatever we imagine freedom to be.
The truth of reality is that all is One. Which means that what you are feeling and trying to escape is part of totality. By wishing something away, we are setting ourselves up to be at odds with an aspect of ourselves. truth is inclusive, meaning that what you are feeling is included in what you are.

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 selves and hand over our need to maintain control and open in surrender.

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. First the mind woke up to itself (awareness becoming aware of itself), then the heart opened (unity consciousness), and finally the body released itself of identity.

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.
