Spiritual Guides and How to Work With Them

Spiritual guides -
I suppose we could say that incorporeal beings are largely chosen before we are even born to act as navigators on our earthly journeys. Some of these beings may have previously lived as humans, and because of their profound wisdom—and in some cases, due to existing family ties—they are selected to serve as our Spiritual guides. Their fundamental purpose is to offer us direction from the spiritual realm. Based on what one might call our life map, our soul blueprint, or a soul contract, various guides are assigned, ranging from Spiritual guides to an Angel, Masters, Saints, or even Divine beings. As we progress along our path, I imagine some guides might be replaced by others who carry more advanced teachings, provide stronger protection, or specialize in specific areas of need. There are even those who are only assigned to us during certain seasons of our lives. This selection process occurs under the supervision of our higher self, our Over-soul, our Monad, the Source, or perhaps a Teacher from the specific soul group we originate from.

Perhaps it is best to view your spiritual guides as messengers from the spirit world who can outline several different possibilities. They might describe what to expect on various paths or even offer a recommendation, but they don't actually decide which way you go. You possess the absolute freedom to choose the experience you desire most. I think some people crave an adventurous path filled with challenges, while others might prefer a much smoother, quieter journey; some want to wander down side paths, while others stick to the main highway. Ultimately, a great deal depends on that famous soul contract or life map—the lessons we are meant to work through during this lifetime.

It seems to me that guides aren't here to control us or dictate our movement. Rather, they offer a perspective that we are free to either accept or decline. They essentially provide the data regarding the road ahead. However, even if you are following the best possible path, you might still encounter obstacles. I believe an obstacle isn't something to fear or run from; it's there specifically so that you can face it. It is also important to understand that while guides might know something is coming your way, they won't necessarily tell you, simply because they don't want to strip you of your agency or knock you off course prematurely.

Since they are guiding us from the spiritual realm (being "above" us), they likely have a very clear overview of our situation. They seem to always know where we stand and what lies ahead on our current trajectory. They can see our direction up to a certain point, though I suspect a single wrong turn could throw anyone completely off track. If you reach out to your guides, they can help prepare you for what lies around the corner, and they can provide guidance on how to navigate safely toward your intended destination.

Their whole purpose is to assist us in our incarnation here on Earth. For many, this guidance is direct, but for many others, it happens indirectly—perhaps through dreams, subtle signs, or during moments of meditation when we manage to connect with them.

Establishing a connection with our Spiritual guides, Angels, and other Divine beings. I have previously shared some thoughts on the importance of raising one's vibration and how crucial that process is for our spiritual development and personal growth. I believe that maintaining a high vibration is just as vital when it comes to opening up a meaningful dialogue with our spiritual guidance. Here are a few thoughts on the matter...

Beings of light, Love Being, Divine Beings, Angels, Masters, and so on... Spiritual guides always seem to reach out to us, communicating in a way that feels encouraging, motivating, and fundamentally appropriate. Their messages never carry any hints of hatred, envy, or fear; they lack negative connotations, harsh wording, or dark omens. I suppose those spiritual practitioners who are sensitive to energy—healers, therapists, masters, teachers, and others with experience in energetic work—can actually discern whether these appearing guides are positive or negative by sensing the specific energy being transmitted. Furthermore, those gifted with a certain type of clairvoyance might be able to visually perceive the nature of these beings. It seems to me that no malevolent or negative entity could ever successfully simulate a Divine Being, which originates from the Source and naturally radiates light, love, and pure energy...

The most effective way to recognize or feel one's own spiritual guides is to elevate one's own frequency or vibration. A being's frequency and vibration are constantly shifting along a scale—which I might describe roughly in terms of octaves. This shifts based on our mood, the food we eat, whether we are exhausted or well-rested, and so on. One might be an octave or two higher or lower, but there is a baseline energy level where you reside, which possesses its own octaves and vibrations... essentially, the energy frequency in which you vibrate. You can adjust this level through dedicated self-work, such as energetic cleansing, healing, fasting, prayer, chanting, meditation, or even aligning oneself through systems like Reiki, ThetaHealing, Shamballa MDH, or Reconnection. Some of these methods provide a temporary shift in frequency, while others may offer more lasting changes. Of course, the extent of the shift depends heavily on how much work one puts in—how consistently one uses these systems to cleanse themselves, release the negativity accumulated throughout the day, and balance their chakras, aura, psyche, and overall being.

Through prayer or mantra, one can temporarily raise their vibrational frequency. However, if one utilizes something like Planetary mantras, it might be possible to clear away the lingering traces of negative karma we carry. I believe this form of mantra has a profound effect if practiced regularly. These mantras can purify us and help mitigate the negative influences brought upon us by Planetary Teachers (whom some refer to as the Lords of Karma), and may even assist with physical ailments...
There are numerous methods, tools, rituals, and systems available to us to work on ourselves, allowing us to lift our being up through multiple octaves or even into entirely different frequencies...
It is generally understood that our spiritual guides vibrate within the spiritual realm, which consists of high frequencies. Some people explain this through dimensions or densities, mentioning five or more levels. Currently, I guess we are positioned somewhere between the end of the 3rd and the beginning of the 5th dimension. Although there are very few people currently at the end of the 4th, through diligent spiritual practice, one can temporarily ascend to the 5th or even higher, thereby connecting with their spiritual guidance and their guides.

For this reason, many spiritual seekers today perform regular practices, rituals, ceremonies, and prayers specifically to raise their vibration, making it easier to connect with their spiritual guides or their Higher Self.
