I Am a Truth Seeker Traveling In Search of Hidden Knowledge

Traveling in search of truths long hidden; our physical and spiritual hearts align and open, thus enabling a remembrance into who and what we truly are, and always have been. We have only forgotten. The veil between heaven and earth is lifting. The Old Earth consciousness is passing away. The time to shift into the emerging New Earth is NOW!

Hi! I'm Toni Toney

Let me start by saying that…

I am not a minister or theologian with a degree from a respected university like Notre Dame. Nor am I a medical doctor who graduated from a prestigious institution like Harvard. And I'm not a gourmet chef trained at a world-renowned culinary school like Le Cordon Bleu.

But guess what? You don't have to be!

In 1978, I had a near-death experience that changed everything. It was as if a thick veil had been lifted, and for the first time, I could clearly see who and what I truly am!

Up until that point, my life had been centered around the material world, money, image, status.... You know the drill. Somewhere along the way, I had lost conscious connection with the spiritual world within and all around me. In essence, I had awakened from a very deep spell, one that had kept me disconnected from my true self.

AWAKENING

MY AWAKENING

I woke up one morning in a feverish sweat and was rushed to the hospital, where I was placed in an isolation room. My white blood cell count had plummeted and was diagnosed with a viral, bacterial infection that threatened my life. Not even the strongest IV antibiotics were working.

On the seventh day, my physician entered my isolation room with the worst news imaginable: If my white blood cell count didn't rise by morning, I wasn't going to make it. In essence, I was going to die!

Through the isolation window, I could see the terrified faces of my parents and my two young children. I had nothing left to give, except a desperate prayer. A prayer not only for myself, but for my two children. I had to live!

But then, I felt a Divine Presence!

A radiant, golden halo appeared above my bed. It was Divine Presence, beyond words, yet somehow familiar. We began to communicate, not with words, but through a silent, telepathic understanding.

"I'm dying," I said. "And they have no cure for me."

The presence silently replied, "How can they cure you when they don't understand the real problem?"

"What is the real problem?" I asked.

"The belief that you are separate from God, from Nature, and from everything and everyone around you."

Then it said something that changed everything:

"If you will focus on your breath, the breath of God, who breathed you into physical existence, you will live!"

And so, I did!

Toni in meditation

For hours, I focused solely on the sensations of my breath as it moved in and out of my nostrils. With each inhale, I felt as though a profound divine energy was breathing me. With each exhale, I felt as though fear, resistance, and the illusion of separation was releasing.

In that moment, I knew, deep inside of my body, my cells, my soul, that it truly is the breath of God that is breathing me. And not just me! All of us!

The next morning, after a routine blood draw, my physician returned. This time, his face was lit with wonder. My white blood cell count was normal!

I finally understood: There truly is NO disease, as such. The Root of Human Suffering Is...

The FALSE Belief in Separation

FALSE BELIEF #1
WE ARE SEPARATE FROM GOD

I was born and raised in a small town just outside Louisville, Kentucky. Every Sunday, my family would take me to our local Baptist church. The message was always the same, and deeply ingrained:

God lives outside of us, in a far-off place called Heaven.

And if we followed the laws of the church, we might be allowed to go there when we die.
If not? We'd be condemned to hell, to be tormented by Satan in a burning lake of fire for all eternity.

As a young child, I simply couldn't make sense of this.
How could a loving God, the Creator of all things, inflict such unimaginable suffering on His own children?

To make matters worse, I was taught that being born female was, in itself, a kind of curse. Because Eve had tempted Adam to eat of the "forbidden fruit" and was the cause of "the fall of man," every female thereafter must be submissive and subservient to men. In this church, women had no voice.

In essence...

  • Our voices didn't matter
  • Our power was dangerous
  • Our purpose was obedience

So, at the age of 16, I left the church. I could no longer swallow what I was being taught:

  • That God was male and only exists somewhere "out there" in the sky
  • That salvation could only be earned through obedience to religious rules
  • That eternal punishment awaited anyone who had disobeyed
  • That I, as a female, was born inherently sinful and subordinate

For me, the message was about LAW and PUNISHMENT instead of LOVE and FORGIVENESS.

What I've come to understand since then is this:

God doesn't just dwell outside of us in a far-off place called Heaven.

God dwells within each of us as a living, breathing DIVINE ENERGY.

The problem is that we have lost conscious awareness with this DIVINE ENERGY because most of our minds have been programmed to believe that we are separate from God.

The Divine Presence I experienced during my awakening was nothing like the fear-based god of my childhood, it was LOVE itself, alive as a life-giving energy within every breath, within every heartbeat, within every moment of stillness and connection with it.

FALSE BELIEF #2
WE ARE SEPARATE FROM NATURE

I was ALIVE and ever-so grateful! But obviously, I had another lesson to learn. The pain in my body was unbearable, piercing into the very marrow of my bones. The only treatment they could offer? … A cocktail of painkillers!

I began reflecting on a time, not so long ago, when our family used plants and herbs for healing. I thought about how, in just the past 50 years, we've traded our medicinal roots for processed foods and chemical fixes.

Yes, pharmaceuticals have their place in emergencies.
But we've forgotten something essential: Like Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, said… That food is meant to be our medicine, medicine our food, and nature is the healer of disease.

Hippocrates quote
Fresh carrots in field

What I loved most about growing up in Kentucky was spending weekends on my grandparents' farm. They grew acres and acres of vibrant, living food. As a child, my greatest joy was running barefoot and carefree through green fields, eating carrots fresh from the dirt, and strawberries and tomatoes straight off the vine.

Back then, I was a healthy, radiant child, completely in tune with the wonder of Nature and the Creator of everything.

But then… everything changed!

One morning, I bolted out the door, ready for my usual barefoot adventure in the fields and my morning feast of sun-kissed fruits and vegetables. But this time, my grandfather gently stopped me. He looked me in the eyes and said something I'll never forget: "I am so sorry sweetheart. The fields aren't safe anymore!"

He pointed into the sky above the fields and explained that a new technology had been born. When I looked out into the fields, I wept.

The fields that once glowed green and full of life were now covered in a gray haze of chemical dust.

My grandfather did his best to explain it to my childlike mind: That a special interest group had forced him to spread toxic chemicals across the land. That what once fed me could now make me really, really sick.

I didn't understand it then.

But I understand it now!

That so-called "new technology" was born out of a lie:

  • A lie sold to us as "better living through chemistry"
  • A lie that had destroyed my once safe magical world
  • A lie that had turned a living, breathing earth into a toxic wasteland, no longer safe for a child to play, let alone eat my foods from the soil.

THE INDUSTRIAL DELUSION

Over the years, I watched as the Industrial Revolution slowly poisoned our planet.

Little by little, I had become disconnected from Nature… and from the Creator of everything. Somewhere along the way, I had forgotten what real food even tasted like. My taste buds, once in love with fresh fruits and earthy vegetables, had been hijacked by toxic chemicals and artificial cravings.

Gone were my grandfather's gardens of fresh foods and my grandmother's healing teas and herbal tonics. In their place? Aspirin, antibiotics, and fast fixes from a trillion-dollar pharmaceutical empire.

An empire built not on wellness, but on profit.

The barefoot, joyful child who once thrived in harmony with Nature had become a sick, exhausted adult… surviving on processed convenience foods to keep up with a life of high mortgages and maxed-out credit cards.

Eventually, my body broke down, which is when I had collapsed to the floor in a feverish sweat and was rushed to the hospital, diagnosed with a life-threatening illness—a viral and bacterial infection that left even the top physicians at a loss.


I RETURNED TO MY ROOTS

So, I made a choice. Against everyone's advice, I checked myself out of man's hospital and into Nature's hospital where Nature could heal me from the inside out.

For the first time ever, I walked into a health food store, unsure but determined. Drawn by intuition, I picked up a series of books by Norman Walker, on the healing power of juicing, raw organic foods, and deep internal cleansing.

For the next 90 days, I did just that...

• I juiced
• I blended
• I ate
• And I cleansed...

MY WAY BACK TO WELLNESS!

What I had learned was that the processed foods, along with a diet high in meat and dairy, had made my body toxic, acidic and oxygen-starved, which created a perfect internal environment for "bugs" to thrive.

But with every sip of freshly prepared vegetable juice and smoothie, along with every raw plant-based meal I was eating, the environment my cells were "swimming in" became less toxic, more alkaline and oxygen rich. In essence, I had created an environment that was feeding life back into my trillions of cells.


The Outcome?

  1. A pain-free body
  2. A strong immune system
  3. A vibrant sense of wellness

FALSE BELIEF #3
WE ARE SEPARATE FROM EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE

About a decade after my near-death experience, I set out on a journey across the globe in search of long-hidden truths about who we truly are and the nature of the world we live in—truths that would change my life forever. In time, I uncovered something profound: everything and everyone who appears to be outside of us is, in truth, a mirror of the world within us.

Even Albert Einstein, the legendary theoretical physicist known for developing the theory of relativity, acknowledged this interconnectedness. He once said:

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness."

Today, science has confirmed what Einstein once suspected—that the belief in separation is really just an “optical delusion.” 

Researchers have discovered an invisible field, an electromagnetic web that connects everything through a mysterious phenomenon called, entanglement. In simple terms, entanglement means that two tiny particles—like specks of light or bits of matter—can become linked so deeply that whatever happens to one instantly affects the other, even when they’re far apart. 

Scientists still don’t fully understand how this connection works—it even seems to move faster than light—but it reveals something extraordinary: everything in the universe might be far more connected than we ever imagined.

In essence, the belief in separation is only that—a belief, and a false one. What appears to exist “out there” is but a mirror, reflecting the patterns and perceptions within our own consciousness. Some ancient wisdom traditions call this, the “false world of appearances,” a dream shaped by our inner vision.


My Travels Took Me To:

ISRAEL

Aside from the occasional rejuvenating visit to the Dead Sea spas, I spent most of my time exploring sacred sites that hold deep spiritual significance. These included:

  • The Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed before his crucifixion
  • Mount Zion and the traditional room of the Last Supper
  • The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem's Old City—revered as the site of Jesus's crucifixion, burial, and resurrection, encompassing both the tomb and Golgotha
  • The Jordan River, where, after Jesus's baptism, it is said the heavens opened and the Spirit of God descended upon him like a dove
  • And finally, the Temple Mount, sacred to multiple faiths, and for Christians, honored as the site of Jesus's teachings

What I Eventually Came to Understand Was This:

  • The human body is a temple of the living God—a sacred space through which the Divine expresses and flows. It was originally known as the true "house of worship!"
  • The kingdom of Heaven is not a distant realm, but a dimension within us, accessible through inner stillness and spiritual awareness.
  • The Last Supper symbolizes the final moment that our minds remain under the influence of the false self—the egoic identity we mistakenly take to be our truth.
  • Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection are not just historical events, but inner experiences that can occur within us—specifically at the base of the skull, traditionally known as Golgotha—when we're ready to take up our own cross and transcend our false sense of self, also called the ego.
  • The River Jordan is symbolic of our cerebrospinal fluid, which flows from the base of the spine to the base of the skull, carrying the potential for our spiritual awakening.

SWITZERLAND

Driven by a deep desire to understand what truly causes the human body to either thrive or deteriorate, I traveled to Switzerland to spend thirty days at the renowned Paracelsus Clinic—Europe's leading center for alternative medicine.

The clinic is named after Paracelsus, the Swiss physician and scientist who lived over 500 years ago and is widely regarded as the father of alternative medicine. So impactful was his legacy that Switzerland is now the only country in the world that enshrines access to alternative medicine in its national constitution—recognizing it as a basic human right.

What I Discovered There Changed My Understanding of Health:

  • Unless you identify the root cause of your illness, you will never create a lasting cure. Treating symptoms alone is not enough.
  • Pharmaceutical drugs do not cure. They may manage symptoms, but they often come with side effects that can create additional health issues.
  • Disease begins when the body's internal environment becomes overly acidic, which in turn reduces blood oxygen levels—setting the stage for cell death, inflammation, and illnesss.
  • Healing starts with restoring balance—and that means creating a more alkaline internal environment. A plant-based, alkaline diet plays a key role in supporting the body's natural ability to regenerate and heal itself.

HAWAII

Knowing I needed to understand the true meaning and power of forgiveness, I traveled to Hawaii, where I studied with a Kahuna who introduced me to a sacred forgiveness process called Ho'oponopono.

At its core, Ho'oponopono—meaning "to make right"—is rooted in the understanding that "there's only one of us here." It challenges the false belief in separation—whether between ourselves and others, the physical and the spiritual, or the fragmented parts of what we perceive as reality.

The purpose of Ho'oponopono is to cleanse our minds of the belief in separation, which is seen as the root cause of discord, illness, and suffering.

Forgiveness as a Path to Liberation

In the ancient Hawaiian tradition, forgiveness is not about "letting others off the hook for a wrong they may have done towards you," it's about cleansing our minds of false perceptions, judgments, and inner stories that have caused us and another pain.

Forgiveness, in the Ho'oponopono sense, is not just a personal act. It's a collective one. When one person suffers in a family or community, everyone is affected. So, as we cleanse our own consciousness, we contribute to the healing of others—and the world.

The Four Sacred Phrases

The Ho'oponopono practice centers on four deceptively simple but profoundly powerful phrases:

  1. I love you
  2. I'm sorry
  3. Please forgive me
  4. Thank you

Always keep in mind that it is your mind that you are cleansing. In essence, these phrases facilitate inner cleansing, emotional release, and deep healing. They help us dissolve negative patterns, open the heart, and reconnect with our truest, purest self.

"I love you."

This phrase expresses love for the Divine who dwells within each of us, along with self-love and acceptance whenever we've "missed the mark," and compassion for others. It's a reminder to love others as we love ourselves.

"I'm sorry."

This acknowledges personal responsibility—not necessarily guilt, but the recognition that our own thoughts or actions may have contributed to our pain and the pain of others. It's an invitation to humble oneself. 

"Please forgive me."

This is not about excusing a wrongdoing—it's a shift in consciousness, for ourselves and others. It helps clear guilt and opens the path to inner freedom. As I came to understand that guilt demands punishment, but true forgiveness brings forth a release, I was changed forever. For me, this is what it means to be born again.

"Thank you."

This final phrase expresses gratitude—for the lesson, the cleansing, the healing, and the opportunity to grow. It transforms even painful experiences into moments of grace.

The Cleansing Power of Daily Practice

These four phrases are said to carry the same vibrational frequency as the chants of monks during deep meditation. And while the practice is simple, its impact is profound.

Always remember that the four powerful phrases were never designed to get something or to change someone else. The sole purpose of Ho'oponopono is to cleanse your mind of limiting beliefs, false perceptions, and especially the belief that you are separate from anything or anyone.

It's like taking a consciousness shower. Just as we must bathe daily to stay physically clean, we must also practice the Ho'oponopono forgiveness daily to remain spiritually and emotionally clean.

KOS GREECE

Traveling to the famed island of Kos—the birthplace of modern medicine and the home of Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine—was one of my greatest joys. Here, the ruins of Hippocrates's ancient hospital still stand as a tribute to his legacy, and nearby grows the legendary Tree of Hippocrates, under which he is said to have taught his students the art of healing.

On this sacred island, I had the opportunity to study with a modern-day Hippocratic botanist, who walked me through the lush medicinal gardens that surrounded the museum while sharing the foundational truths of Hippocrates's original "food as medicine" teachings.

Four Core Teachings from the Hippocratic Tradition

  1. Let food be your medicine—not pharmaceutical drugs. Healing begins with changing our diet, yet modern hospitals have strayed far from this truth and the Hippocratic Oath to "do no harm!" Today, they rely more on synthetic drugs than on the power of food as medicine.
  2. Berries are Nature's inoculators.
    If we consume enough berries during their growing season, their phytochemicals can help strengthen our immune systems and inoculate us naturally against flu and illness.
  3. Our bodies are ecosystems.
    Just like the planet, we are composed of earth, air, fire, and water. The way we harm the Earth—through pollution, depletion, and imbalance—is the same way we harm our bodies. Cleansing our bodies through plant foods, Nature's herbs, hot and cold baths, lots of sunlight, rest and deep sleep, was the Hippocratic way to restore health.
  4. Healing is about restoring balance.
    It's not about fighting disease or chasing the next miracle drug. True healing is a return to harmony—within ourselves and our planet.

It was on the island of Kos that I began to glimpse the vastness of our interconnectedness with our planet, both made up of earth, air, fire, and water.

I came to a powerful realization:

"What we have long called disease is nothing more than a series of ecological breakdowns caused by burning the wrong types of food for fuel into our body's internal environment. Change the fuel, and you'll not only change the course of your life, but the course of the life of your planet!"

This is when I shifted from Man's Four Food Groups and designed Nature's Four Fuel Groups.

  1. Air – Breathing the Breath of God who dwells within us
  2. Fire – Strengthening our nervous system through lots of sunlight
  3. Earth – Eating our foods from the earth
  4. Water – Drinking lots of structured, hydrogen water every day to keep us hydrated

NATURE'S FOUR FUEL GROUPS

Four Fuel Groups


 These "Four Fuel Groups" from Nature are also the first four KEYS that open our physical body's Book of Seven Seals as written in my new book, New Earth Fast! 

In essence, Nature's "Four Fuel Groups" are essential to assist in preparing your physical body for The Shift of the Ages... the shift from the fallen Old Earth consciousness to the ascended New Earth consciousness! It's all about creating ELECTRICAL CELLULAR POTENTIAL!



PATMOS GREECE

The moment our ferry slipped into the waters surrounding this historic, yet sacred island of Patmos, a deep yearning stirred within me—a longing to understand the mysterious complexities of the Book of Revelation.

After checking into a century-old house beside the monastery where I would be staying for six months, I found myself unable to sleep, even though it was 2 a.m. The energy of the island was palpable.

Early the next morning, I made my way to the Cave of the Apocalypse, the very place where St. John is said to have received his revelations from the Holy Spirit. At the entrance sat a quiet monk, whose stillness seemed to echo the cave's ancient secrets.

We began talking, and over time, we became friends. Like me, he believed there was far more to the Book of Revelation than the external, apocalyptic narrative taught by most traditions. "It's an inside job," he said softly—a truth I had always intuited.

Over the weeks and months, our conversations deepened. We explored how the Book of Revelation is not just a book of prophecies about the end of the world, but a map of the soul's journey—a passage from spiritual ignorance to awakened consciousness. The battles, beasts, and tribulations are not merely cosmic events; they are symbols of inner struggles and transformations within the hearts and minds of human beings.

What most religions have taught as a literal, external apocalypse is, in truth, a deeply personal and mystical unveiling of the soul.

The Human Body is the Book of Seven Seals

  1. There are seven keys that open our physical body's seven seals, which I outline in my New Earth books and Shift Now course.
  2. These seven seals are energy centers within the human body that hold the light of our consciousness—light that reveals who and what we truly are.
  3. It is only when these seals are opened that we awaken to our true divine nature.
  4. The seven colors of food, created through the mysterious power of sunlight, have the ability to unseal these energy centers. This is the deeper and most profound understanding of the purpose and power of food.

Revelations of an Inner Journey

  • Spiritual Awakening — The Book of Revelation is not merely an "end time" prophetic book about catastrophic external events. It is a metaphor for the process of uncovering truth and wisdom hidden within our own minds, leading to spiritual enlightenment.
  • Transformed Consciousness — Revelation becomes an allegory for humanity's inner transformation—a journey toward higher consciousness and union with God, rather than a script for external destruction.
  • Christ in Us — The "rapture" is not a physical escape from the great "tribulation" on Earth between good and evil, but rather a rapturous event when Christ is risen within us... a moment in time where we have become truly "born again!"
  • The Anti-Christ — The Mark of the Beast—666—is symbolic of the human body, which is composed of carbon (6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons). Because our bodies are also made up of water, every negative thought and feeling imprints itself through carbon on our internal waters.  In this way, through false beliefs and perceptions, we can become our own anti-Christ.

Focus on Spiritual Realization

The book of Revelation teaches that true spiritual understanding does not come from the external world of material gain but from a deep connection with the Divine within.

The "New Heaven and New Earth" represents a fundamental change in consciousness—the shift from believing that we are separate from God, Nature, and everyone and everyone, to the moment in time when the veil that causes the illusion of separation has been lifted.


A Few Words Reclaimed

  • "Apocalypse" doesn't mean the end of the world. It means "to lift the veil"—to reveal your true self. This is indeed the "end of the world" as you have known it.
  • "Sin" doesn't mean you are bad for breaking a rule. It means "to forget"—to "miss the mark" of your divine nature when you forget your true self.
  • "Forgiveness" isn't simply "letting someone off the hook." It means "to shift a false perception in your mind." There is no separation between you and anyone else.

These truths didn't just illuminate physical vitality like never before; they had opened a sacred doorway within every aspect of me. My prayer is that they also open that doorway within you… a doorway that leads to a spiritual awakening… a doorway that reveals who and what you truly are!


When I Returned Home

When I returned home from my travels, I knew I couldn't keep what I had learned to myself. It was time to act.

In the late 1980s, I founded a nonprofit organization called Organic Food for Life, where I gathered experts to teach local farmers how to transition from conventional agriculture to organic growing. The response was overwhelming—our efforts were booming!

Soon, there was more produce than any of us could eat or sell. So I launched a catering company called Miss Sprouts. It flourished as well, which inspired me to open one of the first all-organic vegan restaurants of its kind. My goal was to franchise and make healthy, planet-friendly food accessible to everyone.

Driven by my passion to share what I had learned about healing both the body and the planet, I partnered with Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in Washington, D.C. and a New York Times bestselling author. Together, we lobbied Congress to change the outdated Four Food Groups, and at a rally I organized with over 500 people, we made a national impact.


Where I Am Today

With every diet imaginable on the market today, I've returned to my roots—to the understanding that the seven colors of plant food have the power to activate the seven energy centers within the body.

Now, I see every bite of food as a chance to do just that. Instead of focusing solely on fats, calories, carbs, or protein, I focus on the energy within every bite we take.

This understanding inspired me to write my books:

  • New Earth Fast — Cleanse to Enlighten Yourself
  • New Earth Diet — Eat to Enlighten Yourself
  • New Earth Table — Recipes to Enlighten Yourself


My Mission

My mission is clear: To educate and inspire people not only to live healthy lives on a healthy planet, but to energetically prepare their physical bodies for the shift of the ages—the great awakening of human consciousness, the birth of the New Earth rising in the hearts of humankind.
