…a personal journey of enormous merit…one of the world’s great mystics blended with sound intelligence and clear self discovery. Excellent balance between inner and outer experiences, grounding the reader in the mundane as well as the spiritual heights. I almost never offer superlatives; my standards are too high. This work is real, and REALLY good.
Louise Mallory-Elliott, PhD., former clinical psychologist; now Melchizedek minister and teacher of spiritual consciousness
“I Am Liberty” is a story of one woman’s quest to be “in the world but not of it.” With a Mighty Assistant and a storehouse of revelatory glimpses of True Reality, Libby begins to imagine how her life would be lived as an ascended being. When the imagining starts to become her daily reality, the true work of Spirit begins and she is inexorably drawn into the evolution of mind promised by God.
Often breathtaking, frequently profound, “I Am Liberty” is a courageous and captivating story of realizing and returning to God.
Libby Maxey writes from the open heart and illumined mind of the Christ consciousness she has diligently sought from the time of her “break with meaning” in the 80’s. She has consumed and internalized the writings of Spirit in every form that has resonated in her heart. Through prayer and meditation, watching and listening she has developed a relationship with the God of her soul that now encompasses every thought, word and deed.
Upon her introduction to the phenomenal power of group meditation in the early ‘90’s, she began to have astounding revelatory visions. In 1995, as a personal act of commitment, she was ordained as a Universal Brotherhood minister, a broad ecumenical ministry. She serves as a chaplain for her beloved Unity Church for Positive Living.
Libby lives outside Nashville, Tennessee.
From Part I, chapter titled “What was that dream?”
I am lying on wonderfully soft and fragrant grass, watching the clouds pass the sun. My vision is so expanded that I can see the dome of sky all at once. Suddenly my vision shifts and I am the sun, looking back at the earth, my benevolent rays caressing her oceans, dancing over the mountains, blessing her people. My vision shifts again and becomes one ray of the sun''s light traveling toward earth to touch one cloud. I seek a perfect raindrop within the cloud, one that makes a tiny rainbow as I shine through it. I touch and become that raindrop, tumbling through the sky, falling, falling to earth. I land on the lush green bough of a fir tree as the tree sways in the breeze. I drop further, onto the soft creamy whiteness of a dogwood blossom. A butterfly comes along, hello beautiful one, and she drinks me!! I travel along the curling swoop of her incredibly long tongue and now I am the butterfly. I flutter to a dazzling yellow flower, dancing with a honeybee in a contest to claim the flower''s nectar. The flower is so intricate in design, such perfection, and such a velvety softness to her petals. I allow the honeybee to claim the nectar and fly back to the dogwood blossoms. Now I am a dogwood blossom and oh! I am blown apart by a strong gust of wind. I float down, down to the forest floor, landing gently on the soft decay of leaves. The smell of the good earth is wonderful, living. A raindrop falls onto me, and I am again my true self, the spirit of my own being, while still becoming the raindrop, burrowing and penetrating the soil. I feel and see the layers of the rich earth, sand and sediment and rock. I travel down, down, further and further into the Earth Mother. I am extremely heavy; I can feel it in my body and in spirit as gravity is pulling me into the center of the beloved Earth. Suddenly Light explodes in my consciousness; the heaviness is gone, I am bliss. I AM AN ANCHOR OF THE LIGHT OF GOD WITHIN AND UPON THE EARTH. There are beings of Light surrounding me, beaming Joy upon me.
Consciousness returns to my human mind and I become aware of my body again. I am sitting comfortably at the kitchen table, gazing at the grassy backyard, watching the pine trees swaying in the morning breeze. There is tiny lightning blazing all over my skin; I am on fire with the Holy Spirit. Maybe this is how the “new wine” makes a human feel.... My ego mind is screaming: This is not real! My experiences this morning and in what I was calling a dream can’t be true! But I KNOW THAT I KNOW this is REAL and it is TRUTH and it is LIGHT.
From Part III, chapter titled “The Perfect Word”
I Am that. Breathing deeply, profoundly aware of the very life of God, the particles of God, creating, flowing, saturating me in every breath, every pulsation, every energy movement of every kind within my body, inside my mind, surrounding me, everywhere present. Profoundly aware that to every thought of every kind of every being God says I Am that because that is what Yes means to God. God fulfills every thought by manifesting God self, God particles, as that thought. I was in a vast place, totally aware of the minute, utterly simple and immeasurably complex process of creation. It can be summed up as I Am that. I feel a deep sorrow, a great sadness that we give God such lousy thoughts to become, followed by an intense desire and passion to think God-thoughts that create delight in God when He declares I Am that!
This huge knowing about creation, about co-creation, took hold of my mind and my body in a new way. I felt the immense power of this knowing deeply in the core of my being, like a secret key opening me, filling my entire body with this electrical energy, alighting every cell with I Am that, really knowing that this, this entire body/mind/spirit I know as Libby and God calls Liberty is GOD’S OWN THOUGHT, and I Am that.
Feeling perfectly balanced, breathing God, I relaxed into a new awareness, a different softness. It felt like a returning, though there was no movement of any kind. Totally in and aware of my body, yet not attached to the idea of being a body at all, I welcomed the entirety of all that I am in my awareness. It was as if the entire universe filled my senses, and my senses extended to the “edges” of the universal knowledge. I felt filled, energized, whole, Real. The story of the Velveteen Rabbit hopped across the vast movie screen of my expanded vision, all in one thought. Just like the stuffed rabbit, once fully aware of the love of his beloved owner, became a real rabbit; now I, fully aware of the Love of my Creator, am Real. “What is Real cannot be threatened. What is unreal does not exist.” (from A Course in Miracles). I Am Real. Ahh, Beloved Child of my Heart, I AM THAT!
