YOUR PSYCHIC AWAKENING: GUIDES AND PROTECTORS

This is the third in a series:
Your Psychic Awakening
Your Psychic Awakening 2: Meditation
Your Psychic Awakening 3: Chakras and Auras

I sometimes try to imagine what our world would be like if every person were fully developed psychically. I have read stories about future worlds and other planets where the inhabitants were psychic or communicated through telepathy.

Being psychic and being a mind-reader are two different things. A world of "mind-spies" is not the same as a world where everyone had developed to the point that, say if someone were sick and medical tests did not diagnose the problem, there would be a medical intuitive that would be able to identify the illness. Or telepaths that could send warnings about natural disasters from one side of the world to the other.

I think in that world most people would be able to communicate with loved ones on the other side. And enough people would be able to see the other side that we would not be so consumed by the struggles of this world. (I believe that we come here to learn about death, not life. Because there is no death on the other side, the only way to learn is to come here and experience life that has an ending. A mostly unknown ending.)

The best of us is the highest we can reach. Remember when Nadia Comaneci scored that perfect 10? She could not compete in today's world. Each time one of us reaches for the best in ourselves, we pull everyone else up with us. So it is with psychic development. I doubt Edgar Cayce could match Alison DuBois. The more that you reach for your best, the more that I am compelled to do the same.

No matter how advanced the world becomes, I think there will always be a need for Angels, Spirit Guides, and Guardian Spirits and Protectors. Especially if you are a witch, shaman, or what I call a "world walker", that is, someone who can walk in worlds beyond the existence not just of this body, but of human spiritual experience as well.

I mentioned the book ASK YOUR ANGELS in my last post, and I will recommend it hereagain. I think Angels are the easiest to reach and communicate with. For myself, the beings that I relate to as Angels are for the most part not former humans. They are not human at all. They are Light Beings, from a less energy-dense world than ours, and they work with us in creating Love and joy in our lives. They are guides and protectors both, and agents of what could be a collective of God/desses and Supreme Beings and Dieties that I call the Universe.

My understanding is that Angels often employ ancestors and deceased family members and friends to "translate" and assist in the work that Angels do with living humans (Angels work with spirits that are on the other side, too). I think of these spirits as Guardian Spirits, usually. Although sometimes they will be psychic/medium Spirit Guide's as well. Sometimes. ASK YOUR ANGELS is such an excellent guide to getting in touch with your Angel's that I recommend working with it, rather than me trying to summarize in this post.

If you are a witch, or if you want to travel to the astral plane, or astrally project your light body to people or places on this planet/plane, you really need a Guardian or Protector from the astral world. I recommend looking for an animal spirit to guide you. Animal spirits are of this world, but not human. Just as you need guides from the spirit world to assist you in bringing the spiritual to the physical, you need guides from this world to transition to the other worlds, and bring the physical to the spiritual.

It may be that you already have a "totem" animal spirit. Perhaps you are attracted to the power of the lion, the strength of the dragon, or the majesty of the hawk. After you have meditated and cleansed your chakras call the animal's spirit to you. If it doesn't come at first keep trying. Or look to see if another animal is appearing. Don't make any judgements. If you are calling a bear and a rabbit shows up, go with the rabbit. (Remember the White Hare from Alice, and "Tim" from Monty Python?)

Make friends with the animal spirit the same way you would with a new pet. Eventually your Guardian will begin to take you places on the astral plane, and will accompany you on this one as well. (When I have a conflicting or negative reaction to someone and I am not sure why, I check my Guardians. If they are agitated I usually know there is something wrong, even if it isn't apparent on the surface.)

I define "Spirit Guides" as spirits that I think are former humans, that assist psychics and mediums in their work. There may be more than one at a time. I felt three for awhile during my big "upgrade" back in 2002. (I went from being empathic and intuitive to being able to communicate with the deceased spirits and --sometimes-- predict future events.)

I don't know that you can ask for a Spirit Guide. I think that when you are ready they appear, and they do not sound, appear, or feel like your late uncle or great-grandmother. You will not confuse your Spirit Guide for your Angels, or not for very long, anyhow.

I will go into journaling more deeply in another post, but I want to finish here by recommending that you begin journaling all of your psychic and spiritual experiences, and especially those with your Angels and Guardian Spirits.

PRAISES, THANKS, & BLESSINGS!!!
