UNMASKED: THE FREEDOMERS |
GO TO Saying 'Yes' to Myself |
INTRODUCTION MEET THE FREEDOMERS Unmasked: The Freedomers, relates to the subject of Understanding, and is a sequel to Saying "Yes" to Myself and the booklet Understanding in Transformation: a Twelve Power Process. Dan Vincent and Pepin, continue as Correspondence Classmates, as they share their stories and responses to the Questions from the Understanding chapter of original Pot O' Gold Course. However, through the years, there have been many changes, as that book evolved into a series of two courses: Transformation: a Twelve Power Process and Saying "Yes" to Inner Freedom, with their companion books that offer the writings of the Freedomers: their responses to the Questions and their stories; also the artwork, poems and articles, which appeared in The Rainbow Connection, my monthly publication for and about, and often by the Freedomers. Other changes have occurred, too, as the Freedomers have come and gone through the years. Now, Donnie Halbert, and his two sons, Adam and Michael, join us with their stories and letters that relate to Understanding. And the story of Dal Culvahouse, an original Freedomer, who is successfully making it Outside, after seventeen years, is shared; although his writings appear in Rainbows and Pots O' Gold. And we meet Connie, who was never incarcerated behind steel bars, but imprisoned within the confines of her bi-polar, gives us understanding, as she struggles for freedom; and finally finds it in an unexpected solution to end her suffering. You will also read glimpses into the process of recovery that my husband, Van, and I go through in our individual and collective journey to inner freedom, as we continue to answer the question "Who am I?" I hope that you, too, will ask that question, and find the answer, along with insight and understanding that will make your life's journey easier and more enjoyable. And, always, the Freedomers and I encourage you to deepen your relationship with God, and your understanding and awareness of Oneness. God bless you. |
