Waxing Moon

Artist unknown


WAXING MOON
J AN ISTARA Ackerman
9-02-2009 (11-11)

We choose
to dip our candle
of illumination
into the cosmic wax
of eternal Oneness.
Coat after coat of wax
dresses us in
multiple colored layers
of deep, universal space.

Our inner light is concealed in a
cocoon-image of tomorrow’s promise.
Unlike the moon, whose fullness
is seen every twenty nine days,
human-hood’s collective consciousness
wishes to expose its Divine Inner Light.
Soon, we shall shine forth for all to see,
at all times, night and day.

A Vessel of Light




A VESSEL OF LIGHT

The VOICE of I AM/Jan Ackerman 1975


Child, come and embrace me.

May thy burdens be shed from thee.
Your God holds them in trust
and will attend to them.

You are stripped of all concerns,
of all fears and worries.
You stand naked, an empty vessel,
ready to receive Power,
Light, and Love.

In joy I, your God, place my hand
upon your Crown and ignite the spark
inside the heart of every living cell.
Your whole body becomes a roaring
furnace of glowing Light.

Truly the inextinguishable blazing fire
of the Holy Spirit
presides at thy very core.

OUR PATH OF EVOLUTION

'CHILDHOOD' Image by Itash



OUR PATH OF EVOLUTION

J AN ISTARA ACKERMAN 9-16-2009

With our feet planted in two worlds,
several of us find ourselves filled with
many unanswered questions.
Which of the two worlds will grab our attention?
Where will we focus our awareness?

Due to the turbulence, doubts and fears
of some family members and friendships,
there can be a severing of our bonds and ties,
a natural moving away from one another
as different energies and beliefs
become more defined.
Walls may go up and others come down
as we allow and witness
new transformation frequencies.

Some choose to embrace the new changes,
others panic and hide, wringing their hands in fear.
On occasion, we actually find ourselves doing both,
as we vacillate back and forth,
living in both worlds simultaneously.

At times the pathways to these two worlds
seem to run together back and forth, but
soon clarity reveals the path to the Old World
remains in the darkness of duality,
often harboring constrictive, fearful feelings.
The New World path back to SOURCE is
expansive in truth and awareness, promoting
feelings of harmonious Love and Oneness.
Contemplating ‘free choice,’
as neither is right or wrong,
we journey down the path
we most resonate with.

Thinking we are home free
and trusting our decision,
a new issue may suddenly surface.
This may entail the need for new releasing,
new surrendering, new allowance,
new understanding and embracing.

Continuing to evolve as we move into the Light,
our path may split again and again.
Each time it splits, our path of transcendence
becomes more and more enriched and well-defined.

In all this perplexity...
with all these phenomenal opportunities
of growth, change and enlightening evolution,
we come to realize... we are perfectly okay.
We do what we need to do to survive,
to awaken, to transform and to ascend.
And we do it in our own way... in our own time.

Reaching for spiritual fulfillment,
we invoke and progress into the Light,
eventually embrace our total SELF-Hood.
This quest leads us ever onward and upward
to a glorious homecoming with our CREATOR.

Relaxing, breathing deeply,
we allow goodness
to find us wherever we are.
Every path leads back to God/dess,

ALL THAT IS
and the path we are on,

the path we choose,
is no exception.

Painting: THE UNION; Poem: MY GOLDEN GODDESS

Dear Reader,


Here is a Holy Message I received in the early years, long before I heard terms like: Higher SELF, GODDESS, mystic, feminine-aspect of GOD, etc. So when I first experienced/lived this message, I was filled with awe for I felt so LOVED, but soon after returning to the 3rd dimension I also experienced fear, for these concepts were so NEW to me. They seemed to go against the religious teaching I had received. Over time, divine intervention and the Light of my CREATOR replaced my learned illusions as I surrender again and again to the will of God. It took seven years for me to feel comfortable enough to record and share.

As I wrote in the self published Forward of my book, FANNERS OF THE FLAME, I believed then as I do today, that “...these special Messages are for all God’s children. I considered using inclusive language, but I decided to use the original words that came to me. Because most religious holy books of the world use exclusive language, I often felt empty and left out. These feelings were obviously unconscious. When I heard the word ‘daughter,’ I was touched a very deep level. It was as though I had waited lifetimes to be named. Hearing that I, a daughter, a woman, was loved by my Father-Mother God truly awakened my soul. Therefore, I decided to take the liberty of offering my sister readers a unique experience. All my ‘brother ‘readers have the mental freedom to substitute ‘son’ or ‘brother’ wherever they read these words.


There may also be some of the readers who do not appreciate or accept this work. I’d be the first to support that right. I can only encourage you to read with an open mind and know that your heart will not accept anything that is not right for you. I had no previous training in painting or poetry and some may call this book a stroke of luck. However, I acknowledge the stroke of God’s hand and ‘the voice in the Flaming Light.’ Heaven lies within the heart, the true Church of God. This book is shared to encourage each one to seek and discover God for them selves.”







'THE UNION'
ARTIST J AN ISTARA ACKERMAN 1983




MY GOLDEN GODDESS
J AN Ackerman 3-17-1977

A universe within a universe within a universe…
and so on and on it goes…Shafts of Light,
like elevators, can carry you up from
one universal level
to the next universal level.
Space within a cosmic capsule within the space
of another cosmic capsule.
No matter how big or small,
each capsule is swallowed up by God.
Everything is part of the whole.
On some levels humans play at living.
On another level godlike beings play at creating.
And on occasion the two meet face to face.
Weeping tears of joy and embracing one another,
they somehow know they are one in the same.

So it was when I rode a shaft of Light to the
Universe of ‘Golden Domes’ and walked within.
There I viewed a feminine vision of golden light.
Transparent, electrifying and Holy was this Goddess
of wisdom and love, full of divine power and fire.
She moved as if floating on a cloud.
Tall in stature was she.
So brilliant and sparkling was her light
that I took on a new pair of eyes so I could see.
Such dynamic force and power, and yet so gentle was she.
I gasped at her beauty and was about to fall on my knees.
Just then she moved closer and
opened her arms up to me.
I found myself embracing my Goddess as if
I somehow knew we were a part of each other.
An ancient truth was jarred to the surface of my memory.

And yet the truth was so awesome I had to ask,

“Who are you? I have to know!”

Her voice rang out clear, echoing down the hall of time,
“I am you! I am what you are becoming,
I am your higher SELF, your Godlike self.
I am that part of you created in God’s image.
I am that glorious vision of you
held in God’s mind.
I am your past, your future and your present.
We are one, my dear, one in the same.
My name is I AM. Acknowledge your godhood.
There is one like me for every existing soul.
All are becoming what they already are.
All things are God, of God, created by God,
and at one with God.
Falsehood and truth lie in degrees
of ignorance and enlightenment.
Self-realization restores one’s wholeness.
God is all this and so much, much more.”

“Such truth is so frightening I dare not tell a soul.”

“Fear not my beloved! Those who are ready
to see shall see.
And those who are ready to hear shall hear.
Once Truth is felt in the heart
it abides there forever more.
Go in peace, I am on call at all times.
I am as close as your next breath.
I can be heard
at every beating of your heart.
Call upon me and you call upon
your higher SELF.
Return and share the Light
and Music of this sphere.
Be a receiver of God’s protection
and walk tall in the wisdom
of this day and this place.”

And so back to earth level I went,
transported by the hand of God.
Opening my eyes, I trembled at the event
that had just taken place.
A vision in 1977 was finally painted on canvas in 1983,
and I have just relived it to record in word in 1984.
I have drunk from the cup.
So be it!

NO JACK IN THE BOX

Artist Michael Tyree


NO JACK-IN-THE-BOX

J AN ISTARA ACKERMAN 9-08-2009 (My Birthday)

“Watch the lid pop off
and the light stream in
as you forcibly push up
and out of your box.
Allow the fresh air of freedom
to fill your whole Being.

Now peek over the edge;
see the expansive vista of
countless, colorful possibilities,
invisible realms of breathtaking Light,
and rainbow bridges of dazzling promise.

Listen for MY laughter,
for I am your CREATOR.
Watch with me...
see eagles in flight
rise up to touch my face.
Notice butterflies no longer confined
to yesterday’s cast-off cocoon.

It is time... time to
leap from your self-imposed prison.
No longer are you to be
labeled a Jack-in-the-Box.
Do you really want fears, habits and doubts
to push you back into a box of darkness,
cramp your style through mental programming,
destroy your dreams of freedom, and
your purpose for coming to this world?
Will you allow others to manhandle you,
making null and void
your life’s joys, wishes, and mission?

Dance on your tippy toes...
sing through a megaphone...
chase darting Lighten-bugs in the air...
and blew soap bubbles up to the clouds.

There are no ‘shoulds’ or ‘oughts.’
Your I AM presence encourages you
to follow the purity of your heart’s desire,
for loving hugs and laughter define your Spirit.
You are an endless variety of expressions, such as:
star gazer, cloud dreamer, puddle wader,
bottle lamb feeder, 4th of July sparkler waver,
chocolate milk-shake sipper, baby kisser,
labyrinth walker, Weeping Willow tree climber,
oh, and so much more,...
but the mind is quicker than the tongue.
Come... it is time to leave your box...
and embrace your Whole SELF with glee.”

J AN ISTARA ACKERMAN

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I was born in ND in 1944 and have been married to the love of my life since 1965. I am a mother of three wondrous children and grandma of two phenomenal grandsons. I've had experiences as a Registered Nurse, Jr. High Special Education teaching aid, a British 'Montessori' preschool assistant, instructor of communication skills (Parent/Human Effectiveness Training), certified Massage Therapist, certified in 'Therapeutic Touch,' etc., an ordained minister and a group meditation & sacred ceremony fascinator. In 1986, I self-published a book of sacred poetic messages called, 'FANNERS OF THE FLAME'. My writer's club & I published 'ECHOES FROM THE LAKES' and 'ECHOES, STONES & WATER RINGS'.

Over the years I have been interested in holistic healing, public speaking, reading, writing, backpacking, camping, photography and painting. In 1967-1976 my husband and I traveled and lived in Europe, as Jim was a High School teacher for military dependents on US bases in Germany & England.

I continually record inspirational messages and visions 'experienced' when meditating; this began Feb 21, 1975 upon the completion reading the entire Bible. These messages are given to me by 'the still small voice within,' which I refer to as the voice of 'I AM THAT I AM' or the Higher SELF. This indwelling seed of the 'I AM' Source, my awareness of the Christ consciousness within my heart center awoke and I was given the name J AN ISTARA. May the readers of these messages be blessed with new awareness and joy.
