I would like having him as a spirit guide I love people with great sense of humor
It was a really long conversation indeed. I do talk to myself all the time, but usually I answer my own questions in a way I want it to be answered  And I always answer questions. I cannot bear to leave my own questions unanswered. Obsessive compulsive I guess
But Jonathan said things that I didn't expect and sometimes even didn't answer my questions, and I felt like I was waiting for someone to answer - I did not make up a "favorable" answer like I usually do when I talk to myself. And anyway I don't talk to myself for half hour or more at a stretch. Besides, I got a clear feeling of another "Personality" talking to me - one of an amused, witty and fun sort of guy. (When I self-talk, I am usually Ms. Emotional or Ms. Rational.)
One reason I was able to hold this conversation for so long was that I remembered you had written in your blog that we need to extend the conversation as long as possible and also not be afraid. Thank you Erin for that. I did not feel any fear when I talked to him. I felt like I was with a good friend whom I could trust and talk to freely.
But the reasons I were skeptical were because he didn't deliver any important, life changing message, seemed to know about the Internet, seemed a funny person in stead of a wise, omniscient, respected, old person, talked for a long time etc. Thanks for saying those are baseless doubts!
And thanks you two for your replies I will keep this updated if/when Jonathan comes again
Cheers,

I think we are attracted to the types of people who have traits that are similar to our Guides'. It could be vice-versa, but since our Guides came first, I'll wager that we seek out and admire those traits that our Guides posess.
My Benefactor is extremely casual, and like yours, very witty. I often find myself laughing out loud at things he tells me. During our Sacred Drumming Circles, when we journey as a tiospaye, there have been many times when I'll come back just giggling like a kid at something he showed me or told me. This is often a little awkward when someone else was shown something or told something that was very hard or upsetting.
Also like you, my Guides and Benefactor usually don't share something mind-blowing. Life-changing, yes - but in a long-term "if you do this, this will happen," sort of way. And even in those instances where I WAS shown or told something of incredible magnitude, it didn't FEEL like some huge revelation. More like being reminded of something I already knew but forgot or just didn't want to acknowledge. One of my favorite quotes that I post occasionally here is, "Before enlightenment, you chop wood and carry water. AFTER enlightenment.... you chop wood and carry water."
The thing that always still surprises me is the total lack of judgement or recrimination our guides hold for us. I've had, for lack of a better term, "temper tantrums" with my Guides who have told me I needed to do something and it didn't fit into my plan or seem like something I "wanted" to do. Like a two year-old kicking and screaming, "NO NO NO NO NO.....I'm not gonna! I don't wanna!" and each and every time the response was the same, "Ok. Just let us know when you're done. We'll pick it up then."
