The Journal of a Spiritual Seeker, Existing in the Moment
Hello Seekers,
There’s an interesting bit in here that I just asked the Light to clarify. At the time of receiving this message, I asked about someone I don’t see or speak with often, but love very much and feel very close to on a spiritual level. This is actually a common situation in my life. I made a lot of friends over the years that I don’t keep in regular contact with, but still feel so much love for and have a wonderful time with every time we do connect. As I was asking the Light to clarify a bit of the message here, it showed me that I was being called to redefine what I consider “closeness” with other people. It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with 3-D.
The year of the pandemic has certainly changed how a lot of people define closeness, since many of us haven’t been able to spend the same amount of time together as we are used to. I experienced this in the past to a certain extent because of chronic illness. I found my energy levels prevented me (and still do, actually) from being with people or talking with them as much as I might like to.
There can be a lot of grief around these changes, but instead of allowing it to get stuck in sadness, the Light is showing that we can bring the love through instead. When you feel these pangs for the people you love who you don’t see or speak with as often as you’d like, instead of being sad, ask Arch Angel Michael to send them a blessing and to carry your love to them in its purest, most unconditional form. In this way, we can continue to love and energetically support the people we are close to even when circumstances prevent the interactions from taking place as regularly as we’d like in 3-D.
This message also speaks of accepting presence, and how this sense of prayerfulness can become our default mode. The Light also points out that it takes practice. I can say that in the three years since receiving this message, I have practiced and gotten better at this, and I’ve also come to understand that, like most things, it is an ever expanding process. What a delight I find that to be! I love the sense that I will never arrive at an ending, just that my awareness of all things will continue to evolve as I learn and grow.
How are you doing in your practice of presence and awareness? Hold that space for yourself and you’ll find things shifting in many different ways.
Sending healing light and lots of love,
Jodie

Message from the Light, Dec. 7, 2017
You are experiencing a massive shift in focus and direction. Allow it to take place. Do not hold on to ideas or attachments of what is “meant to be,” just allow being to take place. You will know as you go what is meant and what is not. For right now, simply exist in this moment. Allow yourself to feel the rise in energy and frequency as you do. Allow Light to move through you and around you in ever-increasing and ever-expanding ways. This is beauty. This is life. This is love, true and pure. This is what is meant to be, and that is all you need to know in any given moment.
This process is one of great strength and awareness. It will become your default mode — with practice. The shift, when it has completed this phase, will be one of the greatest changes you’ve experienced yet in this life.
Keep writing. Write all the time. When it feels right, when it feels challenging — just keep writing. This is your calling, how you’ve chosen to fulfill your destiny — to bring Light through for the benefit of the world.
Your solitary feelings are right on track for you right now. You need to develop an independence of spirit and energy that is implacable. This is required of you. Don’t allow anyone to misdirect you or misinterpret what you mean by this. You do not need to explain or define this for anyone else, just allow it to become a part of your essence. See yourself alone, but not alone and never lonely. You are traveling your own path, and in this place, in this way, you cannot bring others along. They will only waylay you, distract you and hold you back. So develop an ability to love and assist without giving up your direction or allowing the needs and experiences of others to misdirect you. Even those with the best of intentions will not always understand what you are experiencing, for this is your experience and yours alone.
Solitude in this process does not necessarily mean locking yourself away in the woods, no matter how strongly you desire this right now. You need interactions with others in 3-D and you need to be challenged by them in order for you to fully learn this independence of which we speak.
Me: (Regarding someone I love, but rarely see or talk to in 3-D, and still feel quite connected to in higher dimensions.) What am I meant to be learning from this connection?
This person is important to you and therefore the connection is teaching you a deeper lesson than what you would learn if that person weren’t important to you. You have no idea how deep that connection goes. Trust the process. Trust your feelings and your instincts. Trust that person, in a sense, to know their own soul and what it needs to learn and grow. Trust that love exists even where you can’t see it or easily define it. Trust yourself to move forward because that is what you are being called to do.
You are learning to let go of attachments because you are moving forward into a more expansive way of being. This expansion requires that you release the anchors you’re holding on to, including how you define closeness with other people.
Interpret your destination as something unknown and unknowable. As yet, you are determining what and how, so you don’t have the capacity yet to understand what it will be once you get there. Of course, there is not an ending, but there is a there and it will be an experience of beginning when you arrive.
Don’t stress about any of this. That is contrary to what you are learning and not in keeping with your intention. Allow for outcomes you couldn’t ever imagine, for then you will be free to experience this process and all of the joy and wonder it has to offer.

Exercise: Begin each exercise by grounding and protecting. For more information on how, see this post.
Once you’re grounded, close your eyes and notice where you are in your mind. Open your eyes and write down what you noticed. Then close them again and notice where you are. Open them again and write down what you noticed. Repeat this for about five minutes, and then spend a couple of minutes tracing back through what you’ve written down. What can you notice now about your thoughts? How did the exercise shift your sense of what it means to be present?

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.)
