What is a guide ?

What exactly does it do?

[Xan]

Vansep... Welcome to SF!

A guide is a spirit being, someone you may have known in this life, or a master in some area, or an angel or other bright being of light.

Our guides love and support us in our growth in every area of our life. Being aware of them and developing communication with them increases their capacity to support and guide us in many ways.

A guide is a non-physical being or the energetic portion of a physical being that assists you in your spiritual development. Pretty much the same idea as a trail guide.

There are well known types of guides like angels and ancestor spirits. Also there are many individuals who can be helpful.

A common misconception is that a guide always knows way more than you do. While there are ‘masters’ out there that act as guides, many are not much more spiritually advanced than you are. In fact some are less advanced.

Please be aware that there are many ‘posers’ that pretend to be guides but actually are there to take advantage of you. Use common sense when meeting guides. Treat them as you would when meeting any stranger.

A good rule of thumb is to go by how helpful they are to you rather than who they claim to be or what they claim to know.

Spiritual Guides

A Spirit is a being that has crossed over to the Light Plane of existence. This can be a person or animal.
When one thinks on Spirit one goes to ‘MAN’ but that is not the Metaphysical view, it goes far beyond the Earth Plane, to the very Universe and different Dimensions or Planes of Existence.

One is blessed in that one does not have to walk our life paths in the body form alone. One does not have to face the physical and emotional lessons without a form of guidance. One comes forth with Spirit Guides too along our path we have Helper Spirits.

From the view of Metaphysics one has e several types of Guides that come with an individual person.

A) Relative Guide - This is said to be a person one has known in this lifetime. They are one that helps ye thought the day to day process of life.

B) The Spirit Guide - This usually be someone ye have shared in a past life with. This be one ye have a Spiritual connection with on common levels of understandings. Guides one on the path of higher understandings. This be the one that gives forth the lessons along the path. Helps one see Karma issues and work past them.

C) The Angels - It is said we all have Guardian Angels wasting over us and giving us protections when one needs them. They are what steps in at times of harm that might befall us and moves us seeming out of the way. Role to protect and serve. They are a class of being not a human incarnated.

D) Master Teacher- This is one that the “teachers” in life have with them. It is almost a given that Catholic Popes, or Ministers have one or even Spiritual Healers Too one’s that teach in this life have one, these are people that have lessons or learning’s they pass on to others or healers that pass on an ability. They help on with leadership. They show us what we need to be aware of so we move forward on our evolutional development of the Soul.

E) Animal Spirit Guide - These Guides are said to come in two forms. One is in the physical messengers. This being animals we have cross our paths that we seem to have a connection too or strong understanding of why they be there. The other is in the Spirit form. These are the ones that teach us but us about our character and traits in personality. It is said these be the ones that give us our “Abilities”. They too are protectors of us along our Spiritual Path. We too can learn and embrace the heightened senses they have if we know and embrace them as being there. TOO we do NOT all have the “Power” animals such as the “WOLF” but all have a power to them and a gift to us.


Now this is ONLY how I have come to learn it .
