At the Intersection of the Seen and Unseen…
a Fource lives.
As the esteemed American philosopher and psychologist William James once wrote, many of us have “a feeling of objective presence…of what we may call ‘something there,’ more deep and more general than any of the special and particular ‘senses’ by which the current psychology supposes existent realities to be originally revealed.” The Fource is Jaclyn’s chosen name for that presence, that ‘something there’ James speaks of.
Throughout human history, thousands upon thousands of cultures have tried to articulate and help others understand this intuition — this belief in the existence of something beyond themselves. The challenging part has always come with trying to communicate with it, to gain clarity from it.
The Fource lives underneath perception and deep within all of us. It is a living, intelligent, and evolutionary process. Through a daily quiet practice, we can become knowledgeable about it. The Rodding Method is one example of a quiet practice capable of facilitating connection with the Fource.
What is the Fource?
Within the Fource lies 2 types of information
Personal insights: Information about your unique qualities, potential, and purpose
Universal wisdom: Knowledge about the nature of the Fource
What is Rodding?
Rodding is a quiet practice that uses simple L-shaped rods to facilitate connection and communication with the Fource beyond perception. Think of rodding as a way to make the invisible visible. Through rodding, a direct experience of the Fource becomes possible and observable. With practice, information develops in complexity. To get started, all you need is a pair of dowsing rods, a journal, a pen or pencil, and an open, curious mindset.
Rodding is one path among many capable of facilitating a connection with the Fource
Rodding, like other spiritual practices, calls upon our deeper ways of intuiting information. It is a practice that helps us transcend our ordinary way of thinking.
Like certain styles of music, rodding can help pull us into the present, anchoring us firmly in that moment. Through this deep state of presence, we can gain insights and clarity about things that once felt obscure.
Rodding helps us move beyond our limitedness to perceive other aspects of reality more clearly.
As you practice rodding, over time, a profound shift occurs, You come to directly experience and truly know that you are not alone. You are not alone and you are not without value.
Integrating this belief into our psyche is a powerful transition — a movement away from the modern idea that we are alone, separate, and our lives are without value.
We beings are not a mistake, just some cosmic accident or product of chance. Each of us has a part to play, and it is only when we return to that fundamental belief that our world will begin to transform.
It all starts with a direct experience of the Fource.
You might still be wondering…
-
Yes! Anyone can practice The Rodding Method. Rodding is a new mode of connection that is not affiliated with a specific religious tradition. Instead, rodding takes us back to the original intent behind the religious impulse: a quiet practice.
-
Yes! You may have already experienced the Fource while listening to live music, engaging in breathwork, doing yoga, spending time in nature, creating art, etc. Any activity centered on flow state and the absence of stimulation could facilitate an experience of the Fource.
-
Rodding is not dangerous. However, it can be deeply challenging. Throughout rodding sessions, it is not uncommon to experience interference from ego, doubt, fear, and other thoughts. Your task is to notice when those distractions arise and let them pass by. Taking a few mindful breaths can be helpful in regaining connection.
-
Rodding is actually not all that different from meditation or prayer. What’s unique about rodding is the direct observation of the Fource through the rods. Meditation and prayer can facilitate connection, and even communication, but the interaction is more limited in what it can clearly convey.

Integrating The Rodding Method into one’s daily life is foundational to becoming more at peace and inspired. Using The Rodding Method as a tool for connection unlocks a whole other way of gaining information and inspiration.
