The Journal of a Spiritual Seeker, Transformation and Releasing Resistance
Hello Seekers,
This message really resonates for me today, and reminds me of the call to action light workers everywhere are feeling right now. It’s taken me three years to be able to do what the Light and the Devic Collective were encouraging me to do when I wrote this post. But timing is divine, always, and I understand that I needed to get to a place in both my spiritual work and in the 3-D where I could dedicate the time and energy it takes to put this together and put it out in this way.
As the energy of these messages pings against some of my own deeply-held issues again, I am working to release and transmute my own resistance as I share this work with you here. Doubt still creeps in, and I have to remind myself of all the confirmation I’ve received along the way. Feelings of fear and hopelessness creep in when I look around at the state of the world, and I have to remember the messages of hope that have been shared with me here. Feelings of remorse for the lives I would have liked to have lived creep in, as well, and make me think about what egoistic satisfaction I might have derived from some of those careers I might have had. And then I have to remember what they have told me: those were different lives for different times.
I will admit too that I’ve been worried along the way of what people will think of this work, and it’s taken me some time to get around that in order to fully show up in this way. Being able to recognize that I am worthy of love — from myself first and then from others — is a cornerstone in overcoming this part of my resistance so that I can move out and away from my fear of what other people think. But I think that self love is a huge work in progress for so many of us, isn’t it? So we go on, from day to day to day, and keep moving the energies of resistance out and away from us so that we can see them with honesty and heal them completely.
This work is different than anything I’ve done or might have done before. It requires an acceptance of my place as a channel for these messages to come through. Because I believe what they have told me — that there is hope. That we are all a part of a massive healing that is taking place for humanity, for the Planet and for the beings of Light we share this Planet with. This is not a Pollyanna-ish hope that one day we’ll wake up and suddenly be existing in a perfect world. It’s an acceptance of the work of Light we’re all here to do to bring about this transformation, and that work requires we overcome the resistance we feel within so that we can do what we are meant to do.
With lots of Love and Light,
Jodie

Message from The Devic Collective and The Light, Oct. 18, 2017
You’ve been afraid, but don’t fear. This process is expansive and you’ve simply hit a patch where you are being called to let go of some of your long-held hopes and dreams. They no longer serve you and were, in fact, for a different time and place than this.
If things weren’t quite so urgent, perhaps you could’ve continued at a slower pace, accumulating growth as a measure of a lifetime. But now, we need you to pick up the pace and be what you are meant to be. Not in a decade or next lifetime. Now.
This Planet and the transformation of humanity is imminent and hanging on to egoic sensibilities about what you want to “do with your life” is outdated. “Get with the program,” they say, and we are saying that to you now, with kindness and love. Your resistance is transmutable and we need you to tranmute it yesterday.
This week, you’ve avoided this work and you don’t feel better for it.
How do you feel when you do the work? Keep that in mind, for it will help you break through the resistance. The good feelings that come of this communication, of transmuting these old energies that have been burdening you through lifetimes, the feeling of being in the flow of the Light and Source — remind yourself that these are feelings that are uplifting. That here you feel hopeful, not helpless. That here you feel like anything is possible — for it is.
Stay with the process. Be grateful for accountability. Be grateful for assistance. Be grateful to yourself that you have, in fact, chosen this path — even if you’re feeling slight resistance. It is temporary and the last barrier between you and getting these messages out there.
Be whole — allow yourself to walk through this life whole — with all the pieces of yourself integrated and operational.
Heal those rifts within yourself and clear the channels to your soul and the light of your soul.
You feel your soul in the heart chakra. The work you do to clear this space will help you greatly.
Be present in all things. Your presence is intention and focus, and with this you can do all things.
Be hopeful and helpful. This work you can do is no small thing and requires a level of dedication and commitment you do not yet have. It will come. We don’t say this to scold you, we are simply encouraging you to throw off the resistance and commit yourself to the work of your soul.
You worry people will not love you or understand you. They may not, but the truth is you do not have to — and should not — pretend to be something you are not in order to be loved and understood by others. This is a failsafe of your ego — an old pattern that is keeping you locked in a pattern of your own making. Throw off that which binds you and free yourself to live and love in true light. The beauty of this will transcend all things and permeate all relationships. Those who truly love you already love the light of your soul, so when you allow it to shine through completely, they will be happy to see you living as your authentic self.
You have work to do still, you feel this next layer even now, squeezing your heart. Trust the process. Trust your teacher to help you through it. You’ve done this before and will do it again. The other side of this one is a truly exciting and transformative life. Stay with the process, stay with the intention. Focus and be present. You have great power in these things. You are in command of your energy field and what you allow to stay and what you release and transmute. You have autonomy in this — remember that and do not be afraid. No outside forces can exert their influence over you in this process.
You are being transformed because you have decided that you want to live in union with your soul. Feel now the opening these words have created in your heart chakra. Read them again.
Ahhh … what a beautiful energy that is. Hold on to that. Stay in that space and allow the Light to work its way all the way through your entire electromagnetic system. Let it expand out from your heart chakra. Let it shine light and illuminate everything that you do.
Let it run through and over any resistance or blockages that might present themselves, transmuting and dissolving them.
Be open and enjoy the expansiveness of this process.
Me: Thank you.
Doubt.
Doubt creeps in and is harmful to us all. Trust the Light and the discernment it provides. Look to your universal truths and honor them by allowing them to expand. When you do this, the truths and the falsehoods will be abundantly clear. Start with what you know, and the place in your soul that allows you to know this. Live in that place. Allow your soul and its connection to Source to be your guide in all things. When you do, doubt ceases to exist.
Part of this is your resistance. It’s okay, you’re working through that. Acknowledge it for what it is and release it. Transmute it. And move on.

Exercise: Begin each exercise by grounding and protecting. For more information on how, see this post.
Once you’re grounded and protected, be present with your resistance for a few moments. Allow yourself to sit and spend a little bit of time experiencing the discomfort of your resistance. And then ask yourself, what is it I’m resisting? What do I feel I’m meant to be doing right now? Why am I resisting? What am I afraid will happen if I stop resisting, and do that thing? Are those fears based in my physical, 3-D reality? If they are, what protections can I put in place to be safe as I do what I’m meant to be doing? If they’re not based in the physical — if they’re more mental or emotional — what can I do to simply let go of those fears and transmute them completely?
With any resistance, be mindful of the practice of transmutation. It is a process and one that takes time and careful evaluation, honesty with yourself, and a great deal of compassion for yourself, as well as a commitment to overcome and transmute that resistance so you can be living the life you’re meant to be living.

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.)
