Your Life Matters Soul Connection Podcast Episode 8

Welcome to your Life Matters Soul Connection podcast with your host,

None other than moi,

Junie Swadron.

Today,

I am absolutely delighted to welcome Suzanne Ross.

Suzanne,

Hi.

Hi,

Junie.

Thank you so much for having me on your show.

I'm so grateful.

I look forward to diving into a fascinating discussion.

Oh my gosh,

So am I.

I can hardly wait to share your your adventures and your experiences and your wisdom with the world.

In December of 1995,

Suzanne experienced a profound miracle that she describes as a divine intervention.

In her first book,

Wake Up,

Awakening Through Reflection,

She vividly shares this remarkable blessing and how it awakened her ability to channel higher intelligence and align with the authenticity of her highest self.

In 2010,

Some 15 years later during a walking meditation,

She found herself shifting into higher dimensional experiences and moving through them as a crystalline light being,

Wow,

Which she writes all about in her widely acclaimed book Rise Up,

Awakening Through Revelation.

This led to Suzanne becoming initiated into the Vedantic tradition,

Is that right?

That's correct.

Okay,

Thank you.

After receiving a powerful initiation that propelled her into a profound sense of oneness.

Who wouldn't want that?

In one transcendent moment,

She became fully aware of the infinite source illuminating all the realms with divine light of pure love.

At the same time,

The life force of her own Kundalini energy activated her third eye,

Fully ignited her crown chakra.

Wow.

In a moment beyond time,

She was braided with the divine blueprint of her eternal soul essence,

An ecstatic bliss which has become her normal.

She was instantly overwhelmed by a strong desire to share this pure bliss with all others.

What a beautiful mission.

Suzanne has since dedicated her life to bringing the higher teachings of the divine enlightenment to all humanity.

Wow.

Truly wow.

Thank you.

This is so beautiful.

So Suzanne,

I want to take you back,

Right back to 1995 when you first experienced what you call a divine intervention,

Okay,

Which you wrote about in your first book,

Wake Up.

Can you,

So can you describe what happened?

Did it just come out of the blue or,

You know,

Are you at a spiritual retreat or were you doing something mundane like ironing a shirt?

Like how are you presented into this enlightened state of consciousness?

And so prior to the intervention,

I was living on the East Coast,

Working in the corporate world,

Supposedly living the American dream,

But for me it was the American nightmare.

I really felt truly misaligned and displaced.

I felt misaligned with my true calling and displaced on the East Coast in the corporate world.

I was starting to exhibit many physical mental ailments.

I was being rushed to the hospital with anxiety attacks.

Physically,

My hair was falling out and I had eczema all over my skin.

It was seriously underweight.

And so I knew that this life that I was living was killing me,

But I didn't see any way out.

And so one winter I received a call from my parents inviting me to the desert of Southern California.

And I knew that was exactly what I needed was a break from it all.

And so during my vacation,

I started to re-experience laughter and love and joy,

Some things I hadn't been experiencing for a very long time.

But then as my vacation was coming to a close,

I felt overwhelmed with this impending sense of doom that I was going to have to return to my life in hell.

And on one morning,

I awoke at dawn and I just felt compelled to run to the mountain range behind their home.

And so I took off running and as I was running,

Tears were streaming down my face and I thought,

If I just keep running,

I can escape my fate.

And then I just ran up the side of a mountain without even noticing the burning in my lungs or the pain in my legs.

And when I got to the top,

I just threw my arms up to the sky and I said,

I am miserable in the extreme and I see no way out.

And in that moment,

I felt a total sense of calm wash over me.

It felt as if the air around me was embracing me in a warm hug.

And I heard a voice resonate within me and all around me.

And it simply said,

Can't you see you've come home?

You'll stay here and heal yourself and many others.

And in that moment,

I knew that to be the absolute truth for me.

And as I looked out over the desert landscape,

I was filled with excitement and enthusiasm over my new life in the desert as a healer.

I ran down the mountain and I felt spontaneously healed.

All of the depression and anxiety melted away.

I was filled with vibrant health and vitality.

And for the next two weeks,

I just felt as if I was following this energy that was guiding me to do this and do that.

That very day,

I went down to the local five-star resort and applied for a job in health and wellness.

And they literally hired me on the spot and said,

Can you start in two weeks?

And I said,

Yes.

And then as I was walking through the parking lot,

I thought,

What have I done?

This is surreal.

Like I have a life on the East Coast.

Right.

And but lo and behold,

I started in two weeks and I entered the field of health and wellness.

I ended up opening a wellness center,

Which just kept growing and expanding.

And just like the voice said,

I would,

I stayed there and healed myself and many others.

Oh,

My gosh.

I keep thinking,

You know,

That you left the house,

You went to your parents home in this terrible state needing a rest.

This is the answer.

Yes,

Mom.

Yes,

Dad.

Feeling the love,

But just feeling hopeless,

Thinking you're going back there,

Running up this mountain,

Getting this extraordinary message and energy.

Your parents,

Who walked into that house after all?

Right.

Right.

Oh,

My gosh.

Wow.

Well,

My mother thought I lost my mind.

Well,

My mother thought I lost my mind when I told my mother that I was right.

She was right.

Yes,

That's right.

You needed to.

You're right.

I told her,

No,

Mom,

I think I finally found it.

Right.

You found your heart,

Your mind,

Your purpose.

Wow.

Wow.

What a beautiful,

Beautiful story.

And what,

You know,

When you get messages like that,

They can't be ignored,

Especially when it just resonates everywhere and you felt the first breath of relief in God knows how long.

So I'm so happy you got that message and you're here to help the world find that way in as well.

So let's talk about your most recent book,

Rise Up,

Awakening Through Revelation,

10 Days on the Ascension Path.

Can you tell us about the creator consciousness that you focus on in your book and how the reader can shift into this empowered state of being?

Thank you so much for asking.

Well,

It's really the second book in the trilogy.

And just to back up a little bit,

Because the first book is an introduction to the second book.

And on the cover of the first book is that Awakening on the Mountaintop that I had.

Spirit directed me to write books.

I was walking out in nature and I heard a voice say,

You're going to write a 30 day book on the evolution of consciousness.

And I looked up in the sky and said,

Yeah,

I don't think so.

I'm a wellness coach,

Not an author.

And,

You know,

Here 10 years later,

I've got my working on my third book.

But it turned out to be 10 years later to be 10,

Three days.

I'm sorry,

Three 10 day books.

And so then Spirit guided me that it was important to write a book about liberating the mind from limiting beliefs before diving into the more deeply physical,

Metaphysical material of rise up.

And so in Wake Up,

I give the reader an opportunity to go on a cathartic journey of awakening through reflection.

And in this book,

It's a journey of reflecting on the most transformational experiences of your life.

And in doing so,

Identifying the causes,

What led to this experience,

And then exploring the effects that the experiences had on yourself and others.

And in doing so,

The life lessons within become crystal clear.

And so,

Oh,

Sorry,

Go ahead.

No,

That's fine.

And so as I started to explore what the content for Wake Up would be,

I tuned into Spirit and I wanted to ensure that what I was downloading was unique and different from anything else I had ever read.

And so they downloaded this karmic cause and effect process of revealing the life lessons that we came here to learn.

And so through this process,

Not only are the life lessons revealed,

But I provide a process through which they can apply these lessons to their life today and then move on to more advanced ones in this way,

Intentionally creating meaningful experiences to incorporate your life lessons,

But then also intentionally evolving toward more enlightened ones.

As I started to wonder about what the meaning and purpose of life was after my awakening experience,

I witnessed a miracle.

I was walking out in nature one day,

Just thinking,

What is the meaning and purpose of life?

And I felt a tap on my shoulder and a voice whisper,

Look up.

And I looked up and I literally saw in puffy white lettering written across the sky,

Meaning to create purpose to evolve.

And I knew I was witnessing a miracle,

But then at the same time,

I felt such a sense of relief to have this simple answer as to the meaning and purpose of life.

After having read hundreds of books about science and religion and spirituality,

Here it was just given to me in this clear and simple message.

And so really that's what my book Wake Up is about.

It is about creating meaningful experiences so that you can consciously evolve toward more enlightened ones.

And so the meaning of life is to create and the purpose is to evolve.

I love it.

I love the steps that you take because we have to start somewhere.

And,

You know,

It's not like you can't just put a toddler into,

You know,

And expect them to go into,

You know,

University with no training in between.

And so it's so important for us to know the steps.

I love how you started with,

Think of some of the transformational experiences that you had.

What were they?

Write them down.

What were the lessons that you got from them?

Like,

And just moving forward and forward to deepen the understanding and to take the action steps to create more of the same and then move into even higher possibilities to expand this and move into a more enlightened state.

So I love that you give the reader these profound steps of how to because so many of us like you have read hundreds of books and whatever and are still left with where do I go?

How do I do this?

And the simplicity it sounds like that you offer is,

I think,

Often the key because we try to make things so complex when it doesn't have to be.

It's just a mindset,

Right,

Of choice.

Yeah.

So in Rise Up,

The second in the trilogy,

Right,

In the next book that you wrote,

There is this creator consciousness that you talk about.

And you also take the reader on an adventure into the sacred temples,

Right,

Or advanced civilizations once flourished in the last golden age.

Tell us about that.

Tell us about what these experiences were for you that you share with us that you find paramount,

Obviously,

Because you shared these specific things.

What do you want us to know about what you've been offered to express for us?

Yes,

And so in the book Rise Up,

I wanted to take the reader,

Which I call an adventurer,

On a journey to sacred sites around the world and along the way explore the belief systems of these more advanced civilizations and what their cosmologies were.

Because I felt that if we are to understand how creation came into being and explore the elements of creation,

The five elements,

The energetic realm to do with quantum physics,

All of these things about creation that then we can more effectively create within it.

And so this is what creator consciousness is all about.

And so in my book Rise Up,

I talk a lot about sacred geometry,

The platonic solids,

Vibrational frequencies,

Spectrums within multi-dimensional realms of time and space.

We go all the way back to the very beginning,

The beginningless and endless sea of pure consciousness from which all creation flows and how really this one great self awoken within that infinite sea and then became the divine trinity.

And it was this same trinity who reflected upon itself and became the creative trinity and who created a portal from infinity to eternity,

Realizing that you can't create in infinity,

You need a place where there's a beginning so you can start creating.

And so this first eternal realm at the center of creation comes into being and all the beings upon it are in their perfect divine blueprint.

There you have the one great self expressing is the 12 archetypes and then all of the eternal children also expressing these 12 aspects of their personality.

Here what you have is an existential realm where everything exists in its eternal divine blueprint in this state of perfection in the eternal now moment.

But then even these beings wanted to know thyself in a different way and so they too discovered this process of reflection and projection and created a mental construct called time and space within which they could project these 12 aspects of their personality as holographic fractals into multi-dimensional realms of time and space so they could then experience.

They could experience themselves,

They could experience love and get to know thyself deeper in this way.

I attuned to theosophy which says we have 12 soul extensions in each of 12 dimensions and so really 144 soul extensions in time and space.

And this is how we disperse ourselves as holographic fractals into all of these different timelines and dimensions but in truth they're all really happening simultaneously in one eternal now moment.

And so if we can tune in to our eternal soul we can really become the witness of who we are being in all of these different realms and dimensions.

And so for my book Rise Up I wanted to take people through this layout,

This blueprint of creation in an effort to help them understand the expansiveness of all that they are not just as an experiential being but as an eternal being,

An infinite being,

An immortal being and of course an aspect of the one infinite source.

Wow you said a lot.

You said a great great great deal and I'm sure I haven't had the privilege yet to read your book but that you break it down so that people will really understand all of those concepts or realities that which you speak coming from the earliest of civilizations and the different constructs that they had in their understanding and and it was a higher consciousness and and you talk about how each evolves to where we are right now and right to the understanding that everything's happening at once.

And which is so hard I know for me a long took a long time to kind of get my mind around that and where you know there's a parallel reality.

But what I would love to what what can you tell us now that would help people you know here we are in this well we're just moving into 5D consciousness out of 3D and yet there are you know we're in this time of COVID it's been over a year and there are people who are just moving through it with a higher consciousness and shining a light and and being that so that we can rise up and be that light and that beacon for people to come home to themselves in their hearts.

What do you say or what applications from the smallest to whatever you know to reach people who are still fear-based seduced by the news whatever it happens to be to bring ourselves and bring themselves into these higher states of consciousness which will give them this sense of hope of a new reality of the five conscious deconsciousness where it is about love it is about evolution it is about peace and harmony so what would you like to say to us about that?

To move into higher states where we are really vibrating at that higher love-light frequency requires dedication to a spiritual practice be it as simple as moving into a state of stillness every morning when you wake up and just getting grounded and centered into the earth beneath you and just moving into that beautiful state of quietness and just feeling into the energy within you and all around you and just that in itself will start to connect you more deeply into the soul of who you are into your soul essence and then I highly recommend taking walks out in nature and heading out into nature and really connecting into the other living beings and things in nature the natural creation touching the leaves on the trees reaching down and feeling the dirt on the ground just having this total presence becoming completely present in the now moment as you move through nature and then as you do you start to feel this profound sense of oneness with all that is and in the very first chapter of my book Rise Up which is an ascension journey I ask the adventure just to open the door and head out into nature and I ask them to look for a sacred symbol a symbol that repeats itself in nature and it never fails they always come up with the spiral everything spiraling out from the center every flower has a center with everything spiraling out from that the sun has a center everything spiraling out from the center of the sun you throw a pebble in the water and it spirals out from the center and so as I guide them through this adventure into nature they start to connect more deeply with the source from which they came from this divine source and starting to develop an understanding that they are one with the divine source of all that is they are an aspect of the divine an integral part of all of creation and what is the divine source but love pure unconditional love flowing through all living things and beings and once you start to connect in with this oneness and with this love of the divine whether in stillness or in connecting with nature love transcends that fear and that is truly the key the spiritual path the ascension path is the key to transcending the matrix I love that I love that because it's you know for me um it's a it's it's instantaneous when I go into nature when I get off the sidewalks and I move into the forest um or the the ocean and I'm so lucky I have them both right outside my door um and I mean totally blessed to to live on Vancouver Island and just be able to have that and as soon as I do ah every piece of what ifs is that ray into what now right and it's like totally connecting with everything in front of me and and and not being seduced away by this or that my thoughts just leave and I'm so present and so yeah and I think it is about now and everything is happening now it's not happening later it didn't happen before it's now and it's and even if it did happen before in our linear way of looking at life it's our energy about it right now that is bringing us into whatever state of mind we're in I'm thinking about something that happened years ago or even yesterday that upset me or even yesterday that upset me I'm bringing that into my energy field right now but if I'm present like I am right now looking at you and even though we're miles thousands of miles away the I mean technology today brings us right here into this moment together how can I not feel joy and love and possibilities and and more curiosity it's just about the now is one of the things that I find also as a beautiful way of bringing us into now is through creative expression and we're all gifted with whatever it happens to be I write books I'm a writer it could be painting it could be doing a garden it could be whatever it happens to be photography it doesn't matter because that's where we lose time we're just so involved in creating creation for the sake of creating so I love what you're saying wow yes for that thank you oh you're so welcome and then of course we go to the sacred sites around the world for the purpose of understanding the cosmologies belief systems practices of these advanced civilizations from the ancient past because what they share in their pyramid texts in their codexes in the ancient scriptures are so profoundly enlightening we really start to understand how tuned in they were to the earth to the cosmos their understanding of creation so illuminating and so it helps us to expand into that and also knowing that it's very likely that we've all had past lives if you will in the sense of time that you know we have memories of who we may have been in Egypt as a priestess or priest maybe in the mystery schools of Egypt or in the Mayan temples who they were masters of time and astronomer priests and who you might have been in those times also we go to the Dogon tribe of Africa who have a very firm understanding of how creation came into being in their cosmologies are really profound of course they all believe that we come from the stars and have a powerful connection to the star people the sky gods who came down and interbred with humans to create more advanced beings in dna upgrades I have found in my own work that when I am able to connect people into who they are being in truth in other timelines and in multi-dimensional realms that it activates dormant dna within their being and brings more of their brain online when we connect them with who they're being as more advanced beings maybe in ancient civilizations or as higher dimensional beings in other star systems that it activates dormant dna because we're merging with these higher frequency aspects of who we are being elsewhere and so it's a way to catapult our consciousness into the next higher levels and just become more advanced awakening innate gifts and abilities it's endless the possibilities are just it's like the spiral it just keeps moving out and out and further out and and you're an example of you know someone who came from corporate America thinking that you're living an American dream and being really unhappy and to where you are today so anyone at any point of their own personal evolution can move into a higher state of of of being of consciousness and find their own deeper soul purpose and and truth and and and explore or I mean even when you were just talking about that these different ancient these places of points of energy around the world and and Egypt or and and you know the Mayan traditions and whatever I was getting goosebumps because I know that I have had these experiences I mean I've just felt it for all my life and so I was just being flooded when you were talking about some of them and which is which is so exciting I think so much of it is just opening to the possibilities of what else is outside of our five senses that is so limiting right wow wow does anyone which one stand out for you like what do you resonate with yeah well both Egyptian and Mayan really it's like the Egyptian mystery schools yeah are so remarkable revealing ways in which you can reach higher states of enlightenment they really understood these symbols that represent the mathematics of creation mathematics being the universal language right and they knew these profound practices allowing people to move into these higher states like even the sense deprivation that they used to do inside the sarcophagi which they discovered no pharaohs were ever buried in inside the inside the great pyramid or the other pyramids they were all in the valley of death right like so these sarcophagi were really used for sense deprivation practices and rituals that allowed people to astral travel and to traverse higher dimensions and connect interdimensionally and so I really find the pyramid text to be incredibly helpful in progressing on my own spiritual path and of course they're laid out in greater detail in like Rose of Crescendo and the pyramid text is very much about rosucrutionism for instance which I'm very fascinated by the rosucrution teachings which are based on the pyramid text but definitely even since I was a child the first time I saw the great pyramid you know was just fascinated by it and wanted to learn everything I possibly could about the Egyptians and then of course the Mayans and I have always felt so drawn to the Mayan temple complexes too very fascinated by time and their long count calendar the astronomer priests and all of these codexes that they left behind and now our own understanding through quantum physics that linear time doesn't exist no right even Einstein and his block universe he was proposing that the past present and future were all the same and that linear time truly does not exist that there is this one eternal now moment and their blanket remarks now from quantum physicists are that all time is happening all the time and that all time is influencing all time all of the time so we're catching up with the Mayans now about time or about non-time you know when you were talking about Egypt I remember the very first book on this subject years ago in the 70s was initiation by Elizabeth H and I then she took us back into that era and I was there I mean and she was doing exactly she was you know a daughter of a pharaoh and women at that time weren't supposed to be doing these things and getting enlightened by these and the neophyte and sure enough she asked three times she was given that privilege she had to raise her consciousness with those who helped her um they were the sons of men the sons of God and to get to a place where she they agreed that she was ready and went into one of these coffins basically and knew she would either evolve through and it was it was an astral projection basically through she only knew she would get through these levels if all of a sudden the scene changed and it was just brilliant and there yeah I just felt as I read that story that I I was there I was her I mean I don't know no no but it was just so real and it's just incredible what we can pass there is a whole section of my book based on initiation by Elizabeth H so when you do get the opportunity to read my book I think you'll be delighted to see that I have a whole section on these symbols coming out of that book um yeah no thank you it's sad oh my gosh that is so extraordinary and thank you for just helping all of us know that whatever we're perceiving in our in our small minds that are in in this caught up in day to day who's going to put out the garbage to what's possible and even putting out the garbage can be an enlightened act it's like wow you know thank you creator for all of these you know the compost here you know the delicious organic fruit we just had or veggies or whatever happens to be that we can now bring back into the earth and grow again like every little piece of our life can be meaningful so much so so much more so if we choose that and you've just opened us up to extraordinary possibilities and everybody has to get your books right thank you sweetie dear yes that is my goal is to bring bring people into that space of inner peace and ecstatic bliss into the knowing that everything is in divine order and divine timing and to just move through your day each and every day radiating your love and light and just feeling blessed feeling truly blessed to be here we have this precious opportunity called life and within this life to create it in any which way we desire and when we understand that we are creating our reality in every moment of every day with the power of our thoughts our expectations and intentions we understand that we are the master of our reality we're co-creating our reality as well with others and that we can co-create this reality in any which way we desire to so we can either contract in fear and submit or succumb to powers that wish to control us or keep us in fear or we can rise up and we can i choose rise up oh and we can experience freedom and sovereignty we can question authority we can start questioning everything to see the agenda behind it the agenda behind it is it a dark agenda or a light agenda are you connecting with the divine or are you connecting into false programming and it's really easy to know your body's gonna either expand or contract we get this feedback immediately do we feel wonderful or do we feel afraid right it's so fast it's so fast we we get this feedback immediately and wow and we do have the choice we so have that choice i mean i can't believe the years that i spent without meditating and just jumped out of bed into my day yuck i mean there's such a difference when i mean my morning is our sacrosanct i wake up slowly and i i've already set my intention of what i know and the people i'm going to do today and the people i'm going to meet today and i set that intention of absolute the highest vibration of love and beauty and even if there's going to be something that's uncomfortable i see the end result the way i want it so that there's hugs you know even if they're virtual the energy is all beautiful and we have that choice by setting that intention and setting that that time aside to really connect with the truth of who we are which is love yes absolutely and i want to invite people to come to sedona arizona where i live because now i have a blessed
