WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?

J AN ISTARA Ackerman 9-25-2007

How can I continually remember

the Light within my being

and the TRUTH of who I am?

Occasionally I allow others to disappoint, to wound me;

they reflect to me, my momentary lack of self-love.

Forgetting my worthiness, my beauty

and my power, I am totally bewildered.

I long for self-esteem, peace and joy.

I am just too numb and confused to identify, feel

and effectively process my emotional pain.

I don’t know what to say or do.

So... I meditate and pray!

Eventually, I reawaken and remember

the TRUTH of Creator’s pure LOVE

for me and all creation... and my love of self.

If I muster up the courage to speak this truth,

a personal relationship may unravel and dissolve.

Where Creator, do I go from here?

I can release the old and embrace the new.

Many great gifts I can give myself and others:

the gift of forgiveness,

the gift of non-judgment,

the gift of allowance and

the gift of being present in the ‘NOW’ moment.

There is the gift of loving the human qualities,

along with the angelic side of self and others.

There is the gift of listening to my inner voice,

to the pure, glorious Light of my Higher SELF,

as well as acknowledging the Light within others...

within friends, neighbor and especially strangers.

There is the gift of trusting

that everyone is where they need to be;

we are all doing our best to awaken and evolve.

There is the gift of recognizing

we all function from a space of love or fear.

Our love is empowering and frees our spirit to ascend.

Our fear can cripple us; leaving us impotent, immobilized,

irrational and easily manipulated and controlled.

So where do I go from here?

After listening to the stories of my fears, I set them aside.

I rise to a higher level of consciousness; I am lifted into the

healing awareness of Creator’s Light. Pain and fears vanish.

It takes courage to embrace the TRUTH,

but my freewill choice is pure LOVE.

I go within… to the heart and soul of the issue.

I glean the wisdom of my Creator’s voice.

I ask the Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient

and All Loving Creator to embrace me

with clarity, with intuitive thinking,

with wholeness, with healing

and with compassionate, unconditional Love.

I seek enlightened wisdom

and the peace of everlasting ONENESS.

Finally, I take a stand for what is ‘the greatest good for all,’

even if that means the loss of a personal relationship.

I release those who choose to linger in duality, in darkness,

knowing they shall remain under Creator’s loving care.

Where do I go from here?

I surrender to the ongoing flow of the ‘Great Change.’

To promote continual growth and transformation,

I willingly move outside ‘my box,’ my comfort zone.

I open to wholesome possibilities;

I chart a new direction, forge a fresh path.

I awaken and trust the god-of-my-being;

I yield free reign to my Creator as

I am lifted up into a glorious Golden Era.

Where do I go from here?

In this ‘NOW’ moment, I am already there!
