The Journal of a Spiritual Seeker, A Message on Unconditional Love
Hello Seekers,
The lesson at the end of this message has been a big one for me, because I’ve had more than one opportunity in this lifetime to learn that love doesn’t require a connection in 3-D. There are people who are no longer in my life, and I love them, and I will probably never see them again. Those things can co-exist.
We’re told that love conquers all and a bunch of other nonsense that can lead us down some pretty harmful codependent paths and find us in some precarious situations without any energetic boundaries. It has been a challenge for me to recognize this, and work actively to pay closer and closer attention to the parts of me that allow these situations to exist. And then to recognize that I’m the one who gets to say whether they continue or not.
Whenever we do boundary work and begin to look more closely at our codependent patterning, it’s tempting to blame the other person for trouncing our boundaries and misusing our energy. But the truth of it is within us, and we have to allow for a certain level of discomfort — both for us and the other person — as we relearn how to communicate and begin to redraw those lines. We need to recognize that the other person will have their feelings about this without blaming them for their feelings or taking those feelings on as our own. It’s a tightrope walk, that’s for sure!
I believe we’re at a point in our collective evolution where we are all learning more about unconditional love, and that these lessons will help heal a lot of the pain and suffering we experience in life. When we seek these higher truths, and bring that focus within to be as brutally honest with ourselves as we’re capable of being, we can change a great deal.
As always, I am holding space for you as you look within. And sending lots of light and love,
Jodie

Message from the Light, Oct. 23, 2017
I am tasked with telling you that you must follow your inner guidance in all things. This is the guidance of your soul, and of the light of your soul. This is your own personal true north, and it will never lead you astray.
You worry, because there are forces out there that will pose as light and are intent on deceiving and misdirecting. But the light of your soul is your own connection to Source and All That Is. Its purity of focus and intent are infallible. The more you connect to your inner guidance, the more you will feel its truth.
Resistance comes when you are unsure of yourself and doubt your own inner guidance. This is a barrier you have to break through, but not even a major one. Bring light to it, surround the energy of the blockage in light and let the light permeate through to the center of the energy and then expand out again from there.
You are clearing the channels of communication with your soul, and the more you clear, the more the light of your soul will flow through into your daily life. This is the process of living in unity with your authentic self — which is the light of your soul — and Source. From this place, there is no doubt or fear, simply a direction and purpose that is in alignment with everything your heart truly desires.
Your heart and your soul work in tandem, with your heart indicating the deeper intentions of your soul. This is why love is so deeply associated with the heart chakra. Because love is a function of the soul.
Open your heart to love — pure and unconditional love — and it will be a clear channel for the light of your soul.
To love unconditionally does not mean you allow yourself to be mistreated. To love unconditionally simply means to love with a purity beyond purpose. To be open to the expression of Source coming through your soul and through your heart. It does not mean that you subject yourself to harmful behaviors or patterns in other people.
You can love and express that love through your heart without being in harm’s way.
There are people you shouldn’t interact with in 3-D because to do so would be masochistic. You can love them, and allow that love to flow from your soul and through your heart and know that the energy of love will express itself to their soul, which is their deepest connection to Source. At the same time, you can release any attachments to suffering they may have caused you, or suffering you may have caused them. Release any and all attachments that are not of light. Bring light into the space between you, and ask the Light to open only the channels of pure love. This opening to light and the purity of light and the intention to express only the purist forms of love, from your soul to the soul of another person, will keep you protected from any and all energies that would do you harm.
This is a multi-dimensional function that will raise the vibration of the planet.
However, it bears repeating: this process does not require interaction in 3-D.
You do not need to “turn the other cheek” so someone can harm you again. You can walk away and release that person in light and love. And you can feel gratitude for the lessons you’ve learned as a result of the interaction.
This is unconditional love, because it also includes a love of self that is betrayed by masochistic behaviors and codependent patterns. The highest function of your soul is to love — yourself and others. Without conditions. With purity. Bringing through a light that doesn’t allow for darkness.
Practice this.

Exercise: Begin each exercise by grounding and protecting. For more information on how, see this post.
Once you’re grounded, try the exercise the Light gave me in this message. First, ask within “what is blocking me right now?” Visualize that blockage within your energy field. What does it look like? What color is it? How does it feel? Where is it located? Once you’ve established how it looks and feels, visualize a beautiful white light surrounding the entire thing. See it moving into the blockage, permeating through the outer edges and into the center of it and then continuing to flow and expand back out from center again. Once you’ve seen the light flow in this way, check in again. What does the blockage look and feel like? Has it changed at all? If it helps, you can repeat this cycle a few more times, seeing how the bright white light affects and changes the energetic blockage. And then, once you’ve done this, ask yourself “how do I feel now?”

A brief note: This journal and its exercises are simply a means to help you find your own flow. There is no pressure to follow them exactly or read each and every one. It does not need to be read in order either, so if you miss one, don’t feel like you’ve failed or fallen behind. These messages are here to hold space for you as you discover and evolve within your spiritual practice.
This is the first volume of The Journal of the Spiritual Seeker, and I’m presenting it here on The Devic Connection website, serialized over the last 10 weeks of 2020, with weekly roundups via email (you can sign up in the box at the bottom of this page if you’d like to receive these.) If you’ve just arrived here and would like to start from the beginning, here’s the link to the first post.

We all need help with clarity …
Sometimes, things come up in the healing journey that we can’t quite manage by ourselves. I’m fortunate to have people I can call on to help me gain that clarity. And I’m also in therapy, which helps immensely with processing the psychological and mental health issues. If you find yourself getting stuck on this journey or having something come up that you need some guidance on, please do seek help. An internet search can help you find a qualified mental health practitioner for those psychological issues. And if you’re looking for help from the Light on the spiritual questions, I have some availability for readings. (Read more about that here.)
