My Journey to Real Truth®: A Personal Testimonial

Introduction

Howdy from Wyoming! My name is Robyn, and this is my story of discovering the Marvelous Work and a Wonder® (MWAW) and how it transformed my understanding of reality and the world around me.

In March 2022, a small detail on Facebook caught my eye: a familiar Mormon scripture referenced as “TSP” instead of “BOM.” Curiosity led me to discover that “TSP” stood for The Sealed Portion. Though I’d known of this prophesied book through the Book of Mormon, I was skeptical of its authenticity. Yet something compelled me to investigate further. Downloading The Sealed Portion initiated a journey of unlearning everything I thought I knew about faith, truth, and my place in the world.

This isn’t about trading one belief system for another. It’s about finding Real Truth® through the MWAW and discovering freedom in accepting how little I truly know. I share my story with gratitude, hoping it conveys the liberating power of this profound work.

Background

Religious devotion deeply shaped my life, beginning with a turbulent childhood. Born as Terilyn Sorensen to a teenage mother, I was adopted into a Mormon family at four months old and renamed Robin Lea. After years of physical and sexual abuse at the hands of my first adoptive parents, I was adopted again at thirteen and remained in the Mormon Church. My name was also respelled as Robyn Lea.

The teachings of the Mormon Church otherwise known as “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints” became my anchor amidst instability, offering hope through doctrines of eternal families. I immersed myself in church activities, striving to prove my worth through obedience and devotion. While I loved the simplicity of the golden rule—treating others as I wanted to be treated—I became consumed by the complex standards of worthiness that defined my faith.

By age 21, I was married in the temple, raising a family in the church. Outwardly, I embodied the ideal Mormon life, but inside, I struggled with feelings of unworthiness and belonging. I believed my trials were divine tests meant to refine me, but they also created a deep-seated anxiety that shaped every aspect of my life.

The Journey to Real Truth®

The unraveling of my temple marriage challenged my religious certainties. For years, I endured unhappiness and perceived mistreatment, believing divorce was unthinkable. This inner conflict led to choices I regret, including an involvement with someone who manipulated and assaulted me. Branded as an adulterer and eventually losing primary custody of my children, I was left broken and questioning everything.

This period of loss sparked my search for answers. Over the years, I grappled with troubling contradictions in the church: its doctrine of tithing, which tied worthiness and standing to financial contributions—even at the expense of members’ well-being; its emphasis on blind obedience over compassion; and its inability to align with the golden rule, which I believed was the foundation of Jesus Christ’s message. By 2019, I left the church, seeking truth elsewhere.

After briefly joining a “Covenant Group” of ex-Mormons—followers of the Book of Mormon outside the mainstream Mormon Church—I observed how this different group exhibited the same beliefs and extreme standards of worthiness I had encountered before.

This final disillusionment prepared me to embrace The Sealed Portion and the MWAW with an open mind.

I was struck by the clarity within the first pages of The Sealed Portion. It described the ancient church of the Bible in a way that perfectly mirrored the modern Mormon church, confirming observations I had come to recognize over the past decade. I devoured it, along with both The True History of Religion and Sacred, Not Secret: The Official Guide to Understanding the LDS Temple Endowment, which answered my deepest questions about faith and reality—ultimately, helping me make sense of many life experiences I had struggled to reconcile within the framework of my long-held religious beliefs. The MWAW began dismantling the pride and ignorance that had shaped my whole identity, revealing Real Truth® in its place.

Transformation Through MWAW

The MWAW didn’t just challenge my beliefs—it transformed how I understand myself and the world around me. For years, I had viewed my trials as either punishments or divine signs of my special purpose. This mindset left me chasing an impossible and ultimately unnecessary ideal of Mormon perfection, sacrificing my peace, and tolerating mistreatment in the name of faith.

Through Real Truth®, I discovered my worth wasn’t tied to divine approval or religious devotion. The burden of shame and guilt was lifted, replaced by the clarity of living according to the golden rule—a simple code of humanity.

The MWAW also challenged my pride and ego, exposing the human frailties that sabotage peace and happiness. It taught me that true equality and equity—not religious dogma—are the foundations of lasting peace. This realization has transformed the way I treat myself and others, grounding my life in compassion as I continue to let go of religious pride and self-delusion.

Conclusion

Looking back, I spent a lifetime seeking validation through religious devotion and the approval of others, hoping to fill the void left by early trauma. The MWAW didn’t simply strip away the complexities and falsehoods I had built my life around—it helped me reclaim the worth that years of pain and self-doubt had eroded. Through Real Truth®, I found peace in my true nature, allowing me to align my life with compassion and clarity.

Before encountering the MWAW, the Mormon God was my everything. The relationship I believed I had with this invisible god dictated every decision and ruled my life. Now, Real Truth® is my everything, bringing clarity and freedom I had never known. The lyrics from Lauren Daigle’s song, Thank God I Do, perfectly encapsulate my feelings—though I replace ‘you’ with Real Truth®: ‘I’ve started breathing, the weight is lifted here. With you it’s easy, my head is finally clear. There’s nothing missing, when you are by my side. I took the long road, but now I realize, I’m home with you, I’m home.’ These words beautifully reflect the joy I’ve found in embracing Real Truth®.

Accepting Real Truth® wasn’t easy, but it brought peace, a sense of deliverance, and a feeling of being at home within myself in this mortal experience.

Real Truth® didn’t just answer my questions about religion, faith, and reality; it gave me something far greater: the clarity and freedom to see myself and others without judgment. It restored my sense of worth and allowed me to let go of the guilt and shame I carried for so long.

The Real Truth® continues to challenge me to confront my pride and ego, to unlearn what I thought I knew, and to live with greater humility. In doing so, I’ve found a deep and enduring peace, one grounded not in religious devotion but in the simple clarity of being true to myself.

For those seeking answers, I encourage you to explore the MWAW with an open mind and heart. Real Truth® is available to all who genuinely seek it, offering peace and comfort in a troubling world.
