There is most certainly a broad range of the spirit beings of various kinds and at various levels who guide and support us... who know us better than we know ourselves and have a much broader view of us and our potential than we could possibly have in our limited human perspective.


In my experience from trance channeling and automatic writing for 7 years, some years ago, a Gatekeeper assists in the process of entering the type of trance required for that work, and in the phasing in and out of the body by spirit beings.

I also know Angels to be very involved with some of us at a deeply personal level. In my understanding it is Archangels who are generally involved with broader principles and less with us on a day-to-day basis, although I know of exceptions to this also.

Some spirit guides are Loved Ones who crossed over and remain accessible to love and support us in some specific ways, others are Lifetime Guides - or many lifetimes - who oversee and support our continued evolving and growing; some are Specialists for developing certain relationships, abilities, skills and artistic expressions; some are from our Council of Elders who assist us not only following and previous to taking birth but support us during significant shifts in our spiritual advancement here; some are highly enlightened Spiritual Masters; and still others are aspects of our own Higher Self.

Developing conscious communication and relationships with high bright spirit beings is so valuable it cannot be described. As for me, I can't imagine living without their constant presence, their intimate guidance, teaching and unconditional love.

I do not as such view our perspectives, if I have ready correctly, to be totally dissimilar. I would not hesitate to agree that there are no set rules in place, or set relationships which are confined to one role or another. Each soul or spirit being has something unique to bring to the table. What you have really said is much to the same song sheet as I have used, simply using different words.

When it comes to trance and working with crossing energy pathways between the physical state and the spiritual, several different beings tend to facilitate this process handling different aspects of the procedure. Though often times a person will only be consciously aware of one of them, for only one of them may communicate with you. It is necessary for communication to be limited to just one being at a time so that the human being does not become overwhelmed. People will tend to find instead that different beings speak through one being who stands to represent all of them at that time. A lot of the time energy from the human presence within the room will be borrowed by the spirit team to help bring about this form of inter-dimensional communication.

My emphasis on what human beings call Angels, would be that most human beings misinterpret their own guides and other beings of light for Angels. An Angel is really a very loose term and can be used in multitudes of scenarios. Most beings in the spirit world don’t actually refer to ‘Angels’ as Angels. Those beings with much broader responsibilities in the realms of spirit, or with totally different origin and energy tend to work in the proximity further away from human beings, but that they are still aware of human activities. The problem with these kind of ‘Angels’ is that their energy is so potent that it can actually have adverse effects on physical beings if they get too close. It is the same in the spirit world, where the proximity of such grand beings can only be accessed by ascending your vibration more in alignment with their own. This is not to say that there are not beings, as you say, that work with human beings on a deep personal level, for there are a great many. The problem one has with using names and labels with the spiritual experiences they have, is they immediately limit and confine it to that outlook or understanding. I would really go as far as to say, anything spoken or written about spirit beings in human language is inaccurate and inadequate.

Yet, we must all begin somewhere, and at least attempt to bring understanding closer to its original form. Your words and mine work to facilitate a greater connection to the original truth, which must truly be experienced on all levels of the Self.
