Hello again,
I was having a discussion with someone a while ago.
The subject of Guides / Helpers / assistants came up, and it was the old chestnut that those of us who have been around a while seem to hear every so often.
“I can’t contact my guide. How do I do it?” I replied ” Don’t worry, you might not need guidance at the moment “, but it set me thinking. We’re all guilty of relying too much on Guides for most of the time.
OK, so you’re expecting me to quote Principle 5 at you. I’m not going to disappoint. Of course you need to take personal responsiblity, but there’s more to it than that. Let me put my angle onto it, and consider the nature of Spirit Guidance in a way that conforms to Natural law.
Let me take you back to school. When you started on your first day at Primary School, you had one teacher, and that teacher gave you little bits of everything. This was because that’s exactly what you needed. A familiar face you could trust, and felt comfortable with. And you didn’t have to cope with getting used to a different teacher every five minutes.
As you progressed through later classes you had different teachers, who gave you different skills, and greater depth of knowledge, but still at a level which you could deal with.
In Middle School and Secondary School, you’d progress with one teacher per subject, but still with a Form tutor, who would give you general guidance when you needed it. And we all had a favourite teacher. ( Mine was Mr Dougherty – a well cool Irishman with a love of English Literature that was infectious. And he had a VW Beetle with denim upholstery, how cool was that in the 70’s! – anyway I digress).
With me so far?
Well, why should the Spirit World be any different. When you first become Spiritually aware, you can probably only cope with one guide, so that’s what you get. And they tend to stay with you during this important early stage of development. They give you little bits of fairly general stuff, in a way that you can cope with.
As you grow, and need to hone your skills, so you get a guide who can help you with the skills you need to develop, while the original guide is still there, but in the background.
Eventually, you get guides who have very specialist skills, which they help you with. And these will only be present when you need them.
I know from personal experience that Oona is my guide who helps me when I do healing.
John is with me when I do Circles and One to One work. He also is my Guide when I do Remote Viewing, which is my main skill at the moment.
Gordon is with me when I do House Awareness ( I can’t call it Rescue Work, to me it’s about getting the house owners to accept that they have Spirit beings with them, which calms both parties to a point where they become easy with each other. No-one needs to be “rescued”, just recognised.). And yes – it is THAT Gordon.
Beatrice is there on the odd occasion I do Church work.( She was a Medium on Earth – and my Grandmother).
My point is that they are not always with me all of the time. Only when I need them, or they can see I need help. I also have animal helpers, but that’s for another day.
So, I believe that you get the Guide that you need, when you need them. You will also have Guides that become friends, and are there, but not all of the time. You don’t live with your friends, but you know how to get hold of them when you need them. So it is with Guides. Isn’t it reasonable and in accordance with Natural Law to expect that if you need a skill, then you get an appropriate Guide who is able to teach you that skill?
AND THEY ARE GUIDES. There are there to advise you and to make suggestions. They will never TELL you what to do, because that would make them Dictators, and not Guides. How you act on that advice is your responsibility. Never use your Guides as scapegoats, or as an excuse to justify your own choices.
And as I said at the beginning, you may not need Guides at all. I know of at least one extremely good Medium who has never had a Guide, but it never stopped her from being highly effective.
If you had to act on the advice of you guides, then surely there would be no choice available to you. Therefore no opportunity to take responsibility and no action / reaction which is required by Natural law.
So, that’s my angle. I hope it gives you food for thought, and then you are able to think things out for yourselves.
Until next time,
Love and Light.
Kevin
Once again, very interesting points Kevin I like your Angle so to speak, although I have a few thoughts of my own as we all do. Its not my blog, but I like the way you present your point of view. ;O)
Glad it’s got you thinking about stuff that others seem to take for granted. This is why I started blogging. Not to hammer home my own thoughts, but to get people thinking.
I’d even go so far as to say I don’t want people to agree with me. I want them to think for themselves, and if they agree after they’ve done that, so much the better.
Question everything, and if it complies with analytical scrutiny, and obeys Natural Law, then go for it. Trust your instincts, that’s why you’ve got them, but don’t forget to analyse before accepting. And only put things down to Spirit when Spirit deserves it. ( That sounds like a good title for a blog 🙂 ).
Well said Kevin. One thing though, we all have spirit guides, but they don’t do the work with mediums for our readings as most seem to think of them.
Spirit helpers are what mediums work with and spirit guides teach about the world, planet and spirit world as well as guide us on our life’s path (hence the word guide). Whereas helpers help us with readings (hence they’re called spirit helpers) simple, yet always wrongly taught in spiritualist churches. The two are very different. I know you’re aware of the difference, I just wish all mediums were as clued up about this work as you are!
Many thanks for the encouraging words.
I do what I do. There’s nothing special about me. I don’t look to make things complicated, in fact I do the opposite. That’s probably why I can get contact quickly and effectively. Some, even most, mediums look for things that simply aren’t there and I believe that’s why they sometimes struggle.
