Day 17 of the 21 Day Consciousness Cleanse is about knowing that you and only you can step into the light of your divine journey.  No-one can force you as it is your responsibility to step into your own choices and live according to God's will.  Maybe you have someone that is constantly telling you what you must do, who must be, or wanting to tell your story but this is their soul's journey. It is your soul's journey to walk your own path with your own divine spirit.  The higher divine is there whenever we are ready without judgment or pushing you into the light.  You have a choice, right now, at this very moment of reading, to fulfill your highest potential or live in the confines of the ego.  Your eyes are open when you have committed to expressing your soul's passion and letting the limitations of yesterday fall away.

To stay in the state of inspiration and be present to the light, you must invoke the agent of change called devotion.  Devotion is when you focus your energies to your inner state instead of with the priorities of the outer driven life.  With devotion you give up the control of the outer world and take control of your inner being.  This is the time where you devote minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day, month-by-month to the stripping away what is no longer serving you for the highest good.  You begin to bring in the light at a deeper level minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day, month-by-month shining bright like a lighthouse aiding you through navigation of darkness.  You then become that lighthouse emitting light from within to all that is in the outer world. 

Debbie Ford ensures us that daily devotion will walk us among the masters, singing the song of our soul, and bring love and light wherever we go.  Debbie says, "I am certain because devotion to a power greater than yourself is the doorway out of the human mind and into the heart of God."

The Cleansing Ritual for today is to make a list of what you've been devoted to that no longer serves you.  You are then asked to write about what new choices you can make that reflect your commitment to shining your own divine light.

I have been devoted to giving energy to past events, rolling them through my mind, feeling bad or sorry for things that I cannot change. 
I have given light to the past and now walk in the path of feeling great about my divine soul that is filled with light.
I have been devoted to being available to my children whenever they ask, even if I have to drop everything.
I have been blessed to give life to my children so they may find their own light in the universe.  I own my own divine light and walk in the path of my own urgency instead of their urgency in life.
I have been devoted to eating on the run at times and feeling bad after wards.
I have the power within to make healthy choices with food and exercise.  I make a conscious effort to exercise each day and surround myself with resources that empower me to feed my soul with divine light and nutritious healthy choices.

My intention: I wake up each day devoted to choices that empower and enlighten my soul.
