Spirit Guides

Everyone of us has a Spirit Guide, someone we were very close to and literally trusted with our soul on the Other Side, who agreed to be our constant, vigilant companion and helpmate when we made the choice to experience another lifetime on earth. Our Spirit Guides are the best friends we have ever had; they just happen to live in another dimension.

All Spirit Guides have spent at least one life here, so they are able to empathize with the problems, mistakes, temptations, fear and frailties inevitable in the human world.

The Spirit Guide's job is to urge, nudge, encourage, advise, support, and guide us on our life's path. And they have several advantages to help them in their work. First, they have the closest possible bond with our spirits - the very essence of who we are. They have also studied and memorized our blueprints.

Their vantage point on the Other Side gives them direct access to God's divine knowledge.

A Spirit Guide will not interfere with the choices we make, or deprive us of our free will. Our agreement with them from the beginning is that we are here to learn and grow, and they know we cannot accomplish that if they are constantly shielding us from the lessons we need to learn.

Spirit Guides communicate with us in a variety of ways, if we'll just shut up and listen to them. Don't feel disadvantaged if your Guide doesn't seem to have an audible voice.. They are still sending you plenty of messages, most often through your subconscience mind. What you have always accepted as instincts, or your conscience, or unusually vivid dreams are more likely your Spirit Guide waving flags.

You should ask for help, advice and reassurance as often as you feel the need. But whatever it is you want, be specific.

Our Spirit Guides know our blueprints, but those blueprints hardly contain every momentary fear we will ever have. Your Spirit Guide is available 24 hours a day to join God as one of your greatest allies, if you'll just skip the generalities and ask them exactly what you need.

When we speak directly to God, a "dome of privacy" instantly surrounds us. The privacy of our conversations with God is so sacred that not even our Spirit Guides can hear them.

Spirit Guides seem to be absolutely literal-minded about what you say them, so when you talk to yours, forget about nuance or unspoken assumptions. For instance, if you ask your Guide if they can describe themselves, they will simply say "yes" because they think that is what you meant. If you ask them to describe themselves, they will then be happy to oblige.

Please don't neglect talking to your Spirit Guide just because you might not know their name. They have been human at least once before. They are well aware that our memories of them or our lives on The Other Side are virtually nonexistent, so they don't expect us to remember them.

If you don't know your Spirit Guide's name, simply make up a name and call them that. It will make your Spirit Guide seem more personal, and your Guide will happily answer to any name you come up with, just for the joy of your finally acknowledging and embracing them.
