Finding Serenity Amidst Chaos: Sue Tobin’s Journey of Resilience and Compassion

In an age where people often seek solace and meaning beyond the mundane realities of life, Sue's story is a testament to the transformative power of resilience and compassion. Her journey, captured in a riveting conversation with Ruba, takes us through a lifetime of challenges, spiritual awakenings, and moments of profound insight. It inspires the reader to reflect on the nature of suffering, the power of meditation, and the eternal search for inner peace.

Early Life and Challenges

Sue's story begins with a childhood marked by the struggle of living with a mother who suffered from undiagnosed mental health issues. This tumultuous environment, where she had to learn to remain silent and unnoticed to avoid danger, instilled in her a profound awareness and sensitivity from an early age. Yet, amidst the challenges, she discovered an inner world rich in understanding and empathy—a foundation upon which her future journey would be built.

The Awakening

One of the pivotal moments in Sue’s life occurred when she was eight years old. Faced with an intense family situation, she experienced a moment of pause that anchored her spirit and opened her to the world of awareness. This transformation not only affected her interactions with others but also shaped her understanding of life’s trials and triumphs.

Educational Struggles and Resilience

Sue grew up with the belief that she would never excel in academics, a notion imprinted by an early school experience. However, her spirit of perseverance led her to explore new horizons beyond the constraints that others had set for her. Although she faced numerous rejections in her career path, her journey through these experiences only deepened her understanding of human suffering and the necessity of compassion.

Embracing Spirituality

Sue’s introduction to meditation and spiritual practices served as a vital turning point. A seemingly chance encounter with a monk set her on a path that would lead her to embrace meditation as a lifelong practice. Her spiritual quest took her to the Himalayas, where she immersed herself in the teachings of Tibetan monks, further developing her understanding of the human condition.

A Journey into the Heart of Suffering

Sue shares her incredible experiences volunteering in various places around the world, notably her time in Thailand working with terminally ill patients in the jungle. Surrounded by people with little hope and even less comfort, she demonstrated immense courage and compassion, often facing physical and emotional dangers while caring for those marginalized by society.


Learning from the Ascended Masters

An encounter with ascended masters in the jungle revealed to Sue the essential truth of working through life’s challenges with acceptance and love. This experience expanded her awareness and pushed her to share her newfound understanding through writing—a challenging yet deeply rewarding endeavor, considering her early experiences with education.

The Power of Pause

Sue’s concept of the "pause" is a core theme throughout her narrative. It’s a call to embrace the present moment, to find tranquility amidst chaos, and to release attachments that lead to suffering. Her approach encourages others to explore meditation not just as a practice but as a way of being, integrating moments of reflection into daily life.

Conclusion

Sue’s journey is a remarkable exploration of life’s dualities—joy and sorrow, fear and courage, compassion and pain. Her story, filled with spiritual insight and heartfelt compassion, invites us all to consider the ways in which we face our challenges and to seek the deeper truths that lie beneath the surface. By embracing the pause and leaning into love and compassion, we open ourselves to a world of infinite possibilities and peace.

It can get worse. It can get better.

A good friend of mine reached out to me with the following: "My favorite massage teacher in the whole world used to say, "If it can get worse, it can get better." and I want to hear your story about that." This is where my understanding is at the moment: How we see a situation is based on our judgment of it. And, whether we know it or not, we’re always judging. Consequently, we give a situation a path to a certain outcome based on the energy we give it with our judgment. So, if we see a situation as bad, then we give it permission and momentum to develop in that direction. And if we see a situation as a doorway to better possibilities, then our thoughts direct creative energy to the situation; guiding it to evolve in the direction of our beliefs. Over the last few years a creed developed for me that still stands unchallenged by my experiences. A set of three “rules”. The first two don’t pertain to the topic at hand, but the third is: ...

12 Strands Of DNA - Our Spiritual Heritage

For years science has recognized that we have two active physical strands of DNA. We also have a further ten energetic DNA strands which have been dormant within the Human Being for many centuries. These dormant strands of DNA have been discovered by scientists, who not knowing the function of these strands, have identified them as ‘junk’ DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains all the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living things. The main role of DNA is the long-term storage of information. DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells. The DNA segments that carry genetic information are called genes, but other DNA sequences have structural purposes or are involved in regulating the use of genetic information. Our DNA is therefore our personal blueprint and as such holds all our mental, physical, emotional and Spiritual information. The or...
