“Your guide is telling me he has a gift for you,” Colleen mentioned, looking up from her book as I walked through the living room. “Cool,” I responded and kept walking. Messages to me via Colleen were nothing new. She is an exceptional animal communicator, as well as spirit communicator. (HolisticAnimal.com) She prefers working with animals though, because it leaves her feeling “cleaner.” “People carry too much junk for me to handle,” she says, “Its like being slimed.” I understand her viewpoint, but enjoy the challenge people present. The gift arrived three nights later.
I woke late that night to a brightly lit bedroom, and walked downstairs. As I reached the bottom, my head cleared the overhang and I was startled to see the livingroom filled with presents of all sizes, each wrapped perfectly. Standing off to one corner was a familiar looking man, about 5’10”, neatly dressed, with dark hair. He looked to be about 35 years old. When my eyes met his the scene changed to a city street, New York, I think. It was sometime in the past. 1920’s maybe? Then the scene rapidly changed from one place to another, one time to another. Greece, Rome, Africa, Ireland, England, the Civil war, the Renaissance, Reformation, Industrial Revolution. We were together in each of these times and lived as senators, slaves, merchants, comrades in arms, brothers, man and wife, healers, enemies and friends. We had shared countless and varied experiences, all with the same purpose: to learn, to grow, to serve.
I woke again, this time in bed, struggling to sort out the images and meanings of my dream. The idea of spirit guides was not new to me, but this experience helped me sort out my understanding of that precious relationship. Basically, everyone on earth has a spirit guide. That includes the Dalai Lama, the Pope, the Evangelist, the thief, the homeless man on the corner, the murderer and the murdered. The most saintly person you can imagine and the most foul mass murderer all have access to spiritual guidance if they want it and learn to listen to it.
If you wonder who’s listening to their guides, just examine their lives. Are they helping others? Are they striving to become better people? Do they have an optimistic bent, even when life gets tough. If so, guidance has been received and acted upon. Do they know it? Not always. Some people do not believe in spirit guides, yet live their lives with love and compassion. They don’t realize that many of their best thoughts and emotions, are instigated elsewhere. Usually the guide is someone like mine, who has shared many life experiences with you over a vast amount of time. And at other times, in other lives, you become the guide on the other side while they have their experience here.
Sometimes we have guides who are task specific. If you go into business, for example, a guide may step forward who specializes in business, or agriculture, or whatever your current project is. There are also guides who specialize in problem areas, such as drug addiction, alcoholism, and healing of all kinds. These folk come and go according to your needs. Your Master guide stays with you your entire life, through all experiences, triumphs and challenges. And as they say “Help is just a call away.”
