I AM FREE…
For I’ve finally learned to surrender the living of this Life to Whatever It may be that Caused
Me into Being…
To the Great Mystery ItSelf…
I now understand what the Prophets and Wisewo/men of Old were trying to teach us…
But instead of understanding…
And learning how to Be…as They Were…
We instead made Gods of them…
I NOW understand…
And am finally FREE…
Without having had to throw off this “mortal coil” to so Be…
FREE…
At last…

I am TRANSFIGURING…RE-COMPOSING…
In a process of…RESTORATION…
A Death…and Rebirth…of the Self…
Something new…is being born…in this Springtime of my Life…
This Awakening-Goddess-Time…
I wonder who…what…why…where…how…when and with whom…this New Self shall be…
Only Time will tell…in this slow…oftentimes agonizing process of…
New Being…
New Life…
Unfolding in TIMESPACE…

The Wisdom…
The Knowledge…
The Way…
Is not found in the world…
But in the SELF…
Toni Roberts
Is not the worship of the Christ…
But becoming IT…
Is all about SERVICE…
And learning that these lives do not belong to the Ego personality…
And that we answer to Something Higher…

It is through PAIN…
Our own psychic…emotional PAIN and the PAIN of others that we are touched…and moved to right action…
Do not fear…and hide…from the pain of those deep wounds you mask with false laughter…and a painted smile upon your lips…
Feel your PAIN…
GO THERE…
For your PAIN is your only Path to Healing…
Your Wholeness of Being lies behind the PAIN from which you so carefully hide…
It is also there…within those Inner Spaces you dare not tread…that the Ancestors wait to guide you…right there…just behind the Doorway to your PAIN…
Yes…the Journey through your PAIN is indeed…sweaty…snotty…teary…and emotionally exhausting…
GO THERE ANYWAY…
For the rewards are beyond your present ability to perceive…and thereby conceive…
JUST GO THERE…
And simply BREATHE through it all…

Must unfold from…the Inner…Invisible Realms..
From the World of the Soul…
Out onto the Material World…
For whatever is created by the mind of man...
Cannot endure...

Navigating one’s life during these Terrible Times…
Is like being a blind person…
Groping her way along a strange…dark…and dangerous alley…
With only the Light that shines from within…
Illuminating the Way…

The End Goal of all of this being human…this living…this experience called Life…
Is to live totally…100%…24/7…
From the Inside…
The Heart side…
Out…
Learning how to do this takes most of us several Turns on the Wheel of Life…
So…go easy on yourself…as you seek your Way…
This…
Time…
Round…

You cannot heal…
Those Inner Wounds you hide so well…
Not with money…designer clothes…a new car…a bigger car…a better house…
A new boyfriend…or perhaps a girlfriend this time…?
Neither does a new lover…or even a younger one…
Heal one’s inner wounds…
Nor can a trip do it…
Not one to the village in Italy you didn’t visit last year…
Or to the seashore…or the mountains…or the ocean…
No…
No matter how much you acquire…or how far you go…
THERE YOU ARE…
Still the same you…
Suffering all of the same…
Hidden-from-the-world-Inner-Wounds…
That can never be healed…by the world…
And yet you continue…
For all of a lifetime…
Running…
Seeking…
From place to place…
Person to person…
Distraction to distraction…
Until…finally….this experience of being human on planet Earth…
Self-extinguishes…
Body part…by body part…
Until once again…
What was “you…”
Becomes the stuff of which the stars are made…
Without “you” ever having learned…
Your purpose in being…
