The Journal of a Spiritual Seeker, Cultivating Detachment and Unconditional Love
Hello Seekers,
The Moon kept me company this morning as I did my meditation and tuning in. It was dark out when I sat down in my chair next to the window, and her light was shining brightly. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again a while later, she was still there — so beautiful in the early morning light that I had to run outside and take a picture. And now, I’m feeling all the feelings that astrology tells us are associated with the moon. It’s a flow and a flood and a wash of emotions, and I’m being guided to allow it all and pay attention to it all and be present for it all. That is the best and the most we can do.
It’s just been a full moon and an eclipse this week, and while I don’t really know what that means, I do know it feels significant. Like things are being pulled forth from us, ready to release and heal and transmute. What a beautiful energy for the end of such a year as this! Allow yourself the space and time this week (and this month) to experience the flow, the flood and the wash of emotions. They will help you find the way to those things within you that are seeking to be addressed.
I’ll leave this off here for now, and get right into the messages from the Light. It’s a bit of a collection of things. This message of cultivating a sense of detachment has been so important to me over the years, and the Light has consistently reminded me that people are in their own process of discovery, and it’s not my business to attach to their outcomes. And also that loving people unconditionally involves provides them the space to be autonomous, to learn what they’re meant to learn, and to love them in the present moment — not who you perceived them to be in the past or who you hope they’ll become in the future.
I hope you’re all having a lovely week, and that the Moon is helping you bring about the significant and timely changes you need in your life.
Sending light and love,
Jodie

Messages from the Light, Nov. 14, 2017
Me: I tuned in during acupuncture and received a message from the Arch Angel Metatron, who reminded me that in oneness there is no loss. That once we evolve or ascend beyond this, we enter into that oneness and time is non-linear, so in that way, we are able to experience the love and light we shared with other beings throughout all our lifetimes.
Regarding a difficult situation with someone I love:
The Light: Have faith. Allow the process to progress. Do what you can to assist, but don’t attach too strongly to an outcome. This is not your lesson to learn, it’s theirs and they will either learn it, or not. But they will be presented other opportunities in the future to learn, if they don’t learn this now. You cannot save them or do their work for them. So, do what you can, and allow them the space of their own experience.
Me: My lesson in all this?
Is to continue to rise above what the people around you are trying to pull you into. They are serving as your teachers, and this is your opportunity to learn.
Cultivate a sense of detachment that is not without love. In fact, it is a more neutral and unconditional place to love from. Forming attachments to other people’s outcomes is not healthy. Nor is it any of your business. It is between them and their soul to determine what and how they need to learn in order to move forward.
For you, cultivating detachment means being autonomous in your own energy, not allowing the energies or actions of others to interfere with or impact your energy field. Quite literally, not allowing other people to bring you down.
Find every opportunity to raise the vibration, to bring positivity, to neutralize negativity.
Cultivated detachment is being able to exist in these higher frequencies no matter what is happening around you. It is loving people unconditionally, no matter where they are in their journey, without judgement.

Exercise: Begin each exercise by grounding and protecting. For more information on how, see this post.
Visualize yourself in a field under the glow of the moon. How do you experience the field with your senses, in whatever unique ways your senses perceive? (Through whatever combination of sight, sound, taste, touch and/or smell.) What’s around you? Are you alone, or is there someone there with you? What are you doing in the field — are you sitting, standing, dancing, floating? How do you feel? How does your body feel? How does your mind feel? What emotions are you experiencing as you are in this field? Allow yourself to continue to experience whatever you are experiencing in the field for a few minutes, and then come back to the space your body is holding and, if you feel called, write or record some of your experiences from the field. Is there anything you know or understand now that you didn’t know or understand before the visualization?

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.)
