In fact, I often see things that my Guides would prefer I couldn't see. Like all humans, if I am anxious about something, or desire a particular outcome, my visions can sometimes work against my best interests.
For example, let's say that I really like a particular man but the relationship would really not be in my best interest. But if I have latched onto the idea of a relationship with him and I can "see" that he wants me, too, I am less likely to listen when my Guides say "leave him alone."
The same is true for certain jobs. I can see how to get the job-- the right thing to say in the interview, etc-- but perhaps my Guides know that there is a better job that will lead me down a better path. If I can see the job in front of me, but not the job they want me to pursue, I am generally less inclined to listen to them.
Which brings up another point or two. Having spirits give you advice is in many ways no different from having another human give you advice. You may or may not listen, no matter how wise or correct the person/spirit has been in the past. Sometimes I just want what I want, the way I want it, and I don't listen to reason.
Moreover, the future is not certain or set. There are possibilities, and usually one or two possibilities is so great as to be almost certain, but the more variables and time involved, the more things can change. It still surprises me how quickly things can shift. And there are many times when my Guides cannot direct me in my choices. We humans have free will and we are here to exercise that free will. Sometimes a left turn is a better choice than a right turn, but sometimes it is simply a matter of making a choice and taking responsibility for the outcome.
Over the years I have gotten better at having worded conversations with spirits, but the spirit world and the world of future possibilities is not rational. Language is rational. The dead and possibilities speak in symbols; the lexicon of dreams and mysticism. Even when talking directly with my Guides there are times when human language doesn't translate; when I "hear" them in symbols, shadows, feelings, and mystic visions.
The truth is, I don't fully understand how all of this works. If you have strong enough psychic abilities you probably have Guides. Everyone has spirit guides with them, but in my experience most people's spirit guides are family members, usually one or two generations back, and no further. One of my guides is related to me, but from very, very far back. The others are not relations. Basically, it is their "job" to work with me. Like me, they were mediums, mystics, and/or witches while they were alive.
Interestingly, not too long ago I asked if I could get a Guide specifically for medium work, since I have a difficult time understanding spirits who have been dead for along time, were cut off from their family members, or died in traumatic circumstances. I also have a hard time with names.
My Guides told me that the type of Guide I was asking for was difficult for someone that was not a "career" psychic to obtain. In other words, I would need to show much greater dedication to developing my gifts and be willing to become much more public (television and other media, police work if necessary, making it my career, etc). They also pointed out that I could use them more than I had been to facilitate readings.
Since I did not want the life that they showed me I've been trying to use my current Guides more during client readings. Generally the people that come to me for readings do not need police psychics, or need to have complicated discussions with long dead relatives, or speak to their spirits in ancient languages, etc. If they do I can refer them to Alison DuBois, Janet Mayer, Laurie Campbell, or celebrities like Lisa Williams and Sylvia Brown. Also I feel, and my Guides agree, that writing is my true career.
The only other thing I would like to add is that lately I have been encountering a number of people that I call "family mediums." In other words, they have some psychic and medium abilities that are limited to the scope of their own lives and their family members. Most families have issues that have developed over several generations, and often the ancestors are attempting to put right what went wrong back in their lifetimes. The family medium is very important to these ancestors, and to the family members living now.
I will post later this week on the upcoming new moon and eclipse. In the meantime, my advice is to spend as much time as possible over the next few days clearing out the past and resolving old issues. Whatever is undone, try to get it done.
PRAISES, THANKS, & BLESSINGS!!!
