Happy Anniversary SRF: April 22, 1998
The Spiritual Rights Foundation, Inc. has added so much to my life that it is hard to begin to start to list these blessings. One of the most important things to me is that I have been given the keys to my mind so I can use it in productive ways instead of being controlled by it. I have learned and use techniques and concepts that help me to get through difficult times and that have helped me grow up from being a scared little girl to standing on my own two feet and enjoying womanhood. I came to SRF, Inc. when I was 22 years old, fresh out of college, stepping out of my parent's house and on my own. The only world I knew was going to school and waitressing which I had been doing since I was old enough to work. I had so many dreams but felt powerless to achieve them. I did not know myself and was filled with fear a lot of the time. I was extremely emotional and plenty of mood swings controlled my existence. If I felt good, then I would start new things and get much accomplished. If I was depressed, then I would hide in my house. I decided to get married and made the man my number one priority because I believed it would complete me and make me a woman. I failed myself miserably in my effort. I was loaded with other people's expectations and information. I didn't know where I was going or how to get to where I needed to be. Most of all, I was a sensitive person who couldn't tell the difference between myself and others. I'd walk into a room and before I knew it, everything in the room was in me and I was the blame for it all. More often that not I was overwhelmed and for years I played hide and seek with myself; dancing between the two worlds of light and dark, skirting with life and death, knowing neither one by name. Somewhere in the middle of it all there was me. Or there was me in the middle of it all. As I took classes at SRF, things started sorting themselves out. In a short time, all became clear to me. Instead of being an emotional skyrocket, I grounded my consciousness in present time, by focusing my mind, and my realizations became the rudder instead of the negative emotions and reactions. I got to know myself in an honest way, the good, the bad and everything in-between. I got to experience my true identity as spirit which is something completely different than the pre-programmed package of life experience named "Ann." When I experience myself as a spirit, my mind is at peace, there is no strife or problems. Best of all, it is like being a child again where anything is possible and there is a lot of fun to be had; besides the magic of it all is wonderful, endearing and enlightening to know it's not my problem what people think of me. Now instead of feeling what everybody else is feeling and making it my own, I have learned to stay in my own space and it is much easier to get through the day with a smile on my face. I have overcome so many fears in a short amount of time. Supporting and taking care of myself is a big one. I mean, mom and dad always did it before. Being out on my own forced me to grow up and depend upon my own life as the source of my supply. To think for myself was the first step and being myself at all costs was the walk that far exceeded the talk. I had to learn about business matters. I was a female and speaking up for myself and trusting my own intuitive insight, in the world of men with large egos, more often than not out of control, was a gigantic step in the right direction. I have grown up at SRF, Inc. and have discovered that there is no fear that I cannot overcome because I am greater than fear itself. Every stumbling block of fear and limitation that I have busted through, leaves me more content with my life and more filled with inspiration to achieve my goals. Everything I thought I was when I first entered these doors, I have discovered I am not. I was simply tuning into a vibration that I thought was my own. The techniques and concepts taught at SRF, Inc. are incredibly simple and powerful. The use of them has cleansed my heart and mind. In addition to the tools taught here, there is the incredible environment of support and the incredible insight of Rev. William Duby. He has stayed on-track and is totally committed to helping every person who comes through these doors. To me, this is the backbone of why the teaching here is so effective. He has been there every single time I strayed from being true to myself and showed me that that was what I was doing. Thank you Rev. Bill and SRF, the staff and students for the companionship, the help and support and most of all for showing me more than I could ever see on my own thus far. Being in Heaven
I have received a
whole new life since I came to the Spiritual Rights Foundation ten years
ago. I was a wayward spirit needing a safe place to grow, unfold and heal
myself when I came through these doors. The Supreme Being placed me here
in this kindergarten so that I could get humble and break through many
levels of false pride.
I have learned that a wholesome life is a simple life, and a simple life is simply living in the present moment. And what is the present moment? It is time to have fun by blessing everything and everybody for every reason. In other words, be rejoiceful that it turned out the way it did because it could have been worse, and at any moment it could get a whole helluva lot better than we can imagine. I have learned it is so childlike to truly know that God is in control, and I don't have to know what the hell I'm doing. God is the source of my supply and it's up to Him to take care of His child, that's me and that's you, and that's all there is to it. So the only thing left to do is to sit back and wait for the good and abundant life to appear. And since it looks like it already has, I'll just remain contented and be amused that I ever thought otherwise.Ê
