After my last article for this magazine (on shamanism) I have had lots of phone calls from people wishing to find out how to contact their spirit guides and helpers.
This is not as simple as it might seem.
If I were to travel back in time and admit to having regular conversations with an invisible spirit entity I might be hung, put away or at least shunned by my neighbours. Even now the majority of people not in touch with their spiritual selves will look upon someone who is with scorn or fear. Many people start going to developing groups with the idea that before long they will be chatting away with the spirits in the same way one might chat to
The greengrocer, this is certainly not the case although one can engage in everyday conversations with our guides we must remember that they are of a higher vibrational value than any human and must be treat accordingly i.e. they are an invaluable source of knowledge and wisdom that can be tapped once we have the correct astral key. What is the correct astral key I hear you ask? The answer to that is...
MEDITION!
The simple act of sitting with closed eyes for around twenty minutes every night and mentally asking the spirits to gather around you will send an astral message to the higher realms that can not be ignored.
I always tell my students at my classes (the fellowship of psychic awareness) that this is a bit like phoning directory enquiries; sooner or later someone will answer.
One very good way to make contact with a spirit guide is during your meditation to visualise yourself travelling through a long dark tunnel and at the end of the
Tunnel you are aware of a brilliant white light go towards it and as you emerge in the light go were your intuitions lead you.
when you do this exercise you will be aware of many scenes, symbols and spirit people, take notice of what happens who you meet and what is said to you as this is no fantasy this is reality albeit in a differant dimension but reality just the same.
you will probably find that during your journeys in this ther world one spirit will emerge as a prominant figure and can be contacted as a regular guide you may also find that several guides will emerge to help you and give infomation on many differant subjects.if you stick to this exercise and follow the same route each night you will certainly have great success.as this is a very powerfull exercise it must not be carried out for more than four weeks at a time and for no longer than half an an hour per session as to exceed this time limit would leave the vulnerable open to psychic attack from low grade astral entities.these kinds
of spirit guides are known as higher plane contacts who are available to teach spiritual knowledge and wisdom to those dedicated enough to seek them out.
the spirit guides that most mediums and clairvoyants refer to are of a somewhat lower order as they are attached to the physical plane and usually never stray very far from their human controler. it is generally understood that everybody has a spirit guide although not everone is aware of theirs an easy sollution to this dillema wuold be to create one ie a teporary artificial intelligence can be created from the vast storehouse of knowledge available to us from the universal unconscious, although this is not an actual spirit guide it can fulfill some of the tasks a real guide would carry out.f this technique is done properly you will have a fully functioning programmed thought form to work for you.
first of all make a list of everything you would like your guide to know about plus a discription of what he or she will look like,age group and country of origin, so if you would like an anciant egyptian priest as a guide ( pre programmed thought form)
he can be yours for as long as you like although he must have an expiry date sooner or later.
once you have compiled a list of qualities and perhaps even
drawn a picture of this guide start to visualise this person coming towards you during your meditations make a chant outlining his qualities give him a name, visualise him standing besides you at every available opportunity and before long he will be acting as a guide would until a real guide presents himself within the course of time, although this type of thoughtform will act as a spirit would it is in fact an extension of your higher self and so can be sent to bring back information from great distances away.
I hope this article has given
you a few ideas to try in the future bye for now.
blessed be.
