Sue Ann Joyner, composer known for her spirituality, dies

Guestbook: Offer condolences to friends and family

Sue Ann Joyner, 73, of El Paso, died Monday after a long bout with cancer.

"She died around 4 p.m. on Monday after falling asleep," son Todd Joyner said. "She had just started to receive hospice care at home."

Joyner was a composer of musical dramas who developed projects with Christian themes, and she was known throughout the community for her dramas based on the Bible.

She recently completed an audiobook in collaboration with Joe Cueto, of El Adobe Productions Studios, titled "Understanding Revelation Prophecy in 98 Minutes."

"I knew Sue for about 30 years. She was a theologian, writer and author," Cueto said. "This is very sad for me because she had just finished the project. She wanted to get started on the next one, 'The Jerusalem Affair,' based on the Bible book of Acts."

"Beyond her creativity," said Cueto, who's done arrangements for Mexican pop idol Juan Gabriel, "Sue epitomized what Jesus Christ would want us all to be like."

Joyner also created a musical drama titled "Patmos," from the book of Revelation, which many churches have produced. She also wrote the screenplay "Stephanie" about ritual abuse.

She was co-founder of the former WATCH, an organization that helped people who were traumatized

El Paso businessman J.O. Stewart, who also knew Joyner, said, "Sue was a remarkably creative person, musically and conceptually, in production and drama. Her death is a loss to the community. She was greatly gifted in music and Christian expression."

"God Spot" in the Brain Does Not Exist

By Brad Fischer - Study shows religious participation and spirituality processed in different cerebral regions

We have found a neuropsychological basis for spirituality, but its not isolated to one specific area of the brain, said Brick Johnstone, professor of health psychology in the School of Health Professions. Spirituality is a much more dynamic concept that uses many parts of the brain. Certain parts of the brain play more predominant roles, but they all work together to facilitate individuals spiritual experiences.

In the most recent study, Johnstone studied 20 people with traumatic brain injuries affecting the right parietal lobe, the area of the brain situated a few inches above the right ear. He surveyed participants on characteristics of spirituality, such as how close they felt to a higher power and if they felt their lives were part of a divine plan. He found that the participants with more significant injury to their right parietal lobe showed an increased feeling of closeness to a higher power.

Neuropsychology researchers consistently have shown that impairment on the right side of the brain decreases ones focus on the self, Johnstone said. Since our research shows that people with this impairment are more spiritual, this suggests spiritual experiences are associated with a decreased focus on the self. This is consistent with many religious texts that suggest people should concentrate on the well-being of others rather than on themselves.

Johnstone says the right side of the brain is associated with self-orientation, whereas the left side is associated with how individuals relate to others. Although Johnstone studied people with brain injury, previous studies of Buddhist meditators and Franciscan nuns with normal brain function have shown that people can learn to minimize the functioning of the right side of their brains to increase their spiritual connections during meditation and prayer.

In addition, Johnstone measured the frequency of participants religious practices, such as how often they attended church or listened to religious programs. He measured activity in the frontal lobe and found a correlation between increased activity in this part of the brain and increased participation in religious practices.

This finding indicates that spiritual experiences are likely associated with different parts of the brain, Johnstone said.

The study, Right parietal lobe selflessness as the neuropsychological basis of spiritual transcendence, was published in the International Journal of the Psychology of Religion.
