Doorkeepers, Spirit Guides and Angels.

[Spirit Guide Sparrow]

Namaste - Love and light - hello and blessings.

I take this opportunity to speak briefly on the subject of spirit guides and other aids. It is to be understood that many people will come forward with their own experiences and interactions with what they believe to be spirit guides, and that is appropriate. Spirit guides come in all shapes and guises, so too do those who come forward with stories of them.

I present you today with my own version flavoured by my own role as a spirit guide. This is not to be interpreted as an egotistical or fantasy formulated ideal, but of known and lived truth. It is not a belief I aspire to fulfil, nor is it some belief some other has bewitched upon me. It is what is. With this said and understood, I can move forward to speak of the nature of Doorkeepers, Spirit Guides and Angels in a general sense, and their function and activities they subscribe to.

Doorkeepers.

Firstly, I will clarify, Doorkeepers, Spirit Guides and Angels are not the same thing.
Doorkeepers are those in the spirit world who walk your life journey with you. They watch over you and protect you. They oversee your development and progress through the physical journey of human life. They make observations and studies of your intentions and actions upon the physical platform. They see to it you get the help you need. It is they who hold the lifeline for you, and hold the keys for you to return back into the spirit world, back to your divine spirit. They are your guardians, gatekeepers and guiding light.
They typically have had physical lifetimes as you have, and thus they will revert and embrace the knowledge and wisdom brought from that to aid you in yours.

Spirit Guides.

These are varied and of different backgrounds and functions. You will find each guide you have in your current energy space brings something unique and different to the table. Some will originate from your soul group in order that you may continue the work you have been doing for thousands of years. These will have significant bonds and affections for you, since it is these that are often misinterpreted as soul mates and twin flames. Their energy is so in accord with your own that you mirror one another.
Some will originate from affiliate soul groups that share a common ancestry or experience pathway. To strengthen bonds and potentials between different soul groups, your own soul will forge friendships and roles which bring you together. Particularly if another soul group specialises in something which you aspire to advance within and broaden your experience of. A representative then will act as one of your guides to assist you practice, pursue and play out potentials with aspired outcomes.
Some guides may step forward out of service to you simply out of their fondness for you. Perhaps you have shared a past life experience with them, or a shared inter-dimensional history, particularly where other species are concerned. That bond between you will create a desire for service to one another.
Depending on the nature of the purpose for you to seek out a physical life, other guides will stand forward to serve you. If you will be working with a specific type of energy for example, you will have guides assigned to you, or who become attracted to you through the work you are already doing, who are practitioners or masters of the same. In this scenario they lend their experience and insight to you during your physical journey.
It may be that you choose to work within music, or communication, or in science. If this was your initial aspired choice for coming to Earth then you will have guides that are experienced musicians, communicators or scientists. So too if you aspired to do healing work, you will have a mixture of guides to perhaps facilitate energy flow, and perhaps one who is a practiced channeller or a biologist; all working together to assist you. Many guides work together as a team. This is what is known as your ‘spirit team’.

So it is to be understood that some guides are assigned to you prior to your physical birth, because this was the aspired direction you wished to pursue. This was the work you had hoped to develop. It is also to be understood that some guides are not officially assigned to you by agreement, but who are drawn to you later on in life. Through some circumstance that has manifested, or through some potential that has drawn the attention of the spirit world, some beings may volunteer their skills and resources to nurture new pathways in your life that you were previously unaware of. Not everything in physical life is planned and organised, most of it is created spontaneously as you go. For one cannot plan for a future destiny he or she has not yet written himself, or herself.

Angels.

These are those beings who work in the background behind the scenes, who tend not to have direct associations with human beings whilst in the flesh. They are those who hold high seats of responsibility in the workings of the spirit world and the physical one. There are different experiences of Angels, depending on how you interpret their identity. Some originate from your own soul group. Some originate from another dimensional universe as a different species. Some are gardeners of the cosmos and universal laws. Some are energy runners, who weave energy streams from one place to another. Some are facilitators of sound and colour, or of emotion or feeling. Some are actually what is understood as ascended beings who just look like an Angel. Though ascension is infinite and one should not assume it is the highest seat of Godliness. Angels are many different things, many different beings from many different origins. Those that write books on the categories of biblical Angels and give them ranks and human names still have a long way to go to understand what they are dealing with. If a current belief works for you in the circumstances you find yourself in, then use it, but always remain open to new interpretations of what and where that energy comes from.

From the wisdom of my council to yours.

It's interesting, Sparrow, that we have different views of the role of spirit beings in our lives, since clearly we both have had long-term experience with them. It shows how each person's relationship with "those above" is unique to us in some ways.

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 can completely resonate with your words, Sparrow, especially those about angels. I have known for a while that they are 'not what they appear to be'. Know them by their energy.

So it's the door keeper that lead you on the path that you are supposed to be on? Or no? Or just synchronicity? Can you call to them for help the way you would a guide or an angel?

Good one Sparrow

I am aware of Spirit Guides, Doorkeepers and Angel presences in my life.

I have taken notice of the different energies that come through at times of personal growth spiritually, the changes and ways of revealing themselves to me. I dont deny how they have shown me - through various mediums - what it is I need to know or how they might take me off for a lesson during sleeptime, or Ill "see" things, or suddenly just "know" things. They all work in amazing ways to get my attention.

However, I have this undeniable faith in myself - or higher self - and tend to trust that more than anything, in fact I often wander why my doorkeeper even has the time and patience with me to stick around as such, although I know I am guided - at times of connecting and reading for someone - because of them - Im sure. Im sure its because of them that I get to "see" bits and pieces of information the come forth when reading.

Higherself - the all knowing "old" me - my soul exposed to me and a guide I rely upon heavily to steer me right, Ive always referred to that as my inner radar or detective - I instinctively connect to that aspect of myself and to be honest - cant remember what it feels like not to do this or use this as my guiding light.

Is it just a matter of needing many helpers outside of HS - am I confusing you with what Im saying at all? LoL - I havent quite formulated the question I want to ask, but can you elaborate on the purpose of Higher Self please?

Thanks for the your time and efforts with this thread - much appreciated and well informative.

Namaste

Pretty sure that my door keeper is my joy guide Rainbow, she's who lines people up or guides when I am trying to do something.

lovey... Not speaking for Sparrow but we might just as well ask, What is the purpose of our human self? ... because our Higher Self is our true self as Spirit, and this human body-mind is merely a vehicle It uses to interact and learn in this world.

Becoming aware in your Higher Self is like coming home.

Purpose is something human beings aspire to create for themselves consistently. It is a frame of mind, a state of consciousness that humans have which helps justify themselves in who they are, what they are doing and where they aspire to get to.
Remember, you are but one species, and your thought processes are much different to that of most other beings, both in the physical, and in the none-physical.

The sense of purpose grows from within your soul, as part of your soul journey. It is not necessarily an aspect you find within your ancient spirit. As a soul, that which you have created yourself as, which cocoons your core spirit, you mould your own sense of purpose upon this journey you are having. As you come to terms with what you are and the roles that you play within the great scheme of existence, you slowly and gradually evolve and develop your own identity of purpose from the desires that you have. This means to say, there is no set purpose or plan for you to follow, for you have been, and continue to, recreate yourself within your own awareness, within your own experience, and project your own sense of purpose outward in all that you do, both in the physical world and in the spirit world.

So then, if your own purpose to exist and have this journey is founded on the desires and aspirations brought forward by the soul; your individualised identity - then the higher Self would be that which aligns you to your highest potential to achieve this. This would be your ancient spirit. Your ancient spirit is that which came first. It is the essence of infinite potential. This intangible essence once observed a great many potentials from the sea of all life, and at one point in time separated from the great sea of infinity to draw its fascination to a specific pathway, to a specific reality or dimension. It joined a particular soul group through its affiliation from millions of years of observation and affection for that particular energy potential. It created a soul for itself through the pursuit of that energy pathway within whatever reality it existed within. From that moment on, this individualized spark of identity and affiliation for this energy pathway became its seed destiny and purpose. Soul groups then can be understood to have different sense of purpose and function within the great multi-verse of creation.

Higher Self, as understood by means of your ancient spirit, which is the seed to all potential and the roots which invisibly connects you to all things, including prime creator, is purely that. Think of your higher Self, your ancient spirit as roots which reach deep into many layers of reality, absorbing and feeding your soul identity and journey. As your identity grows and your branches of potential expand, and you produce the fruits of joy in your life, so too do your roots expand and grow, giving you access to greater abundance, sustenance and sustainability upon your divine pathway. Though your ancient spirit does not change, or become corrupt or tainted by the journey of the soul, it develops new roots connecting you to new potentials and new awareness’s. As each leaf falls and withers from the tree of life, more will develop in a new cycle, sustained and fed through the nutrition the roots provide.

Hope this helps.

You do not have to adopt the outlook that you are supposed to be on one path or another. You have free will to recreate yourself as you so choose. All paths lead to the same destination.

Your doorkeeper walks your journey with you, goes through what you go through, experiences what you experience. Your doorkeeper tries to keep you on the path you have chosen for yourself and keep you aligned with your ancient spirit.
You can of course call upon them to help you in a specific way, whether it be to find you a car parking space, or to comfort you during a loss of a loved one.
Despite the many forms of help they can provide, I always advise people to learn to develop and practice their own spiritual gifts, and gifts of wisdom first and foremost.
Your guides and doorkeeper can then facilitate the flow of these gifts to work for you.
