Circumstances where guides refuse to speak

[Mewwy]

What are the circumstances where guides do not tell you what you wish to know?

Can a person's guides disagree with each other on possible results waiting on different ends of different paths one choose to walk on?

I can understand if psychic mediums pass on different information to sitters due to how perspectives can be conveyed into very different impressions. However, reasons for silence from guides are unknown to me.

Sometimes guides appear to be able to answer some questions during the same contact from the same psychic. In my experience the ability of psychics are never flawed - it seemed like guides intend to remain silent on some questions I have in mind.

Another great question. Man we have some insightful people here!

Yes, I've asked questions of guides on behalf of my sitters and the guides pause to discuss. Sometimes they do not agree on an answer. For example, if the sitter asks, "Should I eat an apple or an orange?" (you know, as a simple example) the guides can't answer because what they want is for you to eat a vegetable so your question is not a good question. And sometimes one guide will be like, "Yeah, go out with the guy, it will be quite a learning experience" while another guide is saying, "He's abusive. Don't go down that road. It will take years to recover." This sort of disagreement was unexpected.

This is why I like to first download all the info the guides want to give you before we get to your questions, so they get their say first. They know you're coming and they usually know what you want them to address, so they cover that in the first 5-10 minutes.

I have also had guides go quiet on me. They won't even tell me why they won't answer. I am at the mercy of what they tell me (or don't tell me).

Sometimes I am told that they cannot answer a question because the sitter needs to work it out for themselves. But they will usually tell me why so at least I can convey that to my sitter.

And guides are so differnet. Some are just so chatty and witty and some are stoic and logical and analytical. I am still exploring all there is to explore out there. I'm sure I've just scratched the surface.

Go Erin!

I also felt the persona of the guides can be deeper than it seems on the surface. Perhaps they aren't deliberately trying to be especially witty, chatty, or quiet. They want to be themselves in the ether.

Somehow this leads me feeling somewhat disconnected to guides. They don't seem to always want to help me in ways that make sense to me. If my own intuition is the closest thing to my guides' voices, then all the intuitive voices in my head may have different personalities backing up their reasonings!

And this would add more difficulty to distinguishing some egoic thoughts and intuitive thoughts.

I can still choose to eat papayas instead of apples and oranges. However, if I consulted my guides before trying, and if they don't tell me that I will get allergic reactions after eating papayas, that'd be very frustrating!

They may want me to actually experience allergy, in this case, so it'd be a life lesson. Although I'd much prefer that they hint that a lesson is awaiting for me.

I had an experience where all of my guides remained completely silent a while ago when I hoped to hear their say. Not even hellos. Absolutely nothing. I perceived that they are hinting "come back to us when you have better questions to ask" and they suddenly appeared to speak to me one week later with much more clarity to answering questions that were practically "better" for me but for no one else's.

Maybe we haven't truly finished concocting our own life plans while being alive and growing. Our guides may be aware of most of our paths before our incarnation, but sometimes they don't accompany you and guide you while walking on some paths, and you really only have yourself to depend on. Personally, I think it felt lonely this way, but I learned those life lessons well.

This of it this way... in school your teachers educate you on a topic and during this education they answer your questions so you understand the material. But then there is a test. And the teacher won't give you the answers during the test. She hopes you've listened to the educational part and that you can easily pass the test. If you fail the test, you can ignore the material or you can go back and master it until you get it right.

it's not that the guides have abandoned you, it's that you're in a test period where you need to apply what you've learned.

Maybe this will help too.

I found some of my guides not talking, until I realized this:

To add to this - it can be tempting to ask the guides' advice on every matter, large and small, but guides won't run your life for you, so there will be periods where the guides step back to give you some space to put what you've learned into practice.

Asking good questions is really important. I've been chided in the past by my Guides for asking poor questions. Things like, "What the hell was that?? That wasn't even a proper sentence, much less a question! Try it again." My Guides like me to be very clear in my head and heart before I go asking questions. When I do that - get clear on the real question - I find I know the answer already without having to turn to my Guides.

Timing is also important. I've asked good questions at the wrong times and gotten no answers. Then, a few weeks or months later, I'll run across something or something will happen and I suddenly have a better understanding of what I was asking the first time. THEN I get the answers. It's like asking someone how to build a watch when you don't even have a basic understanding of the concept of time. How do you answer that? Or more importantly WHY would you answer that?

Thank you for all the insightful posts!

Guides may drop in some hints here and there in our dreams, physical coincidences, and intuition. The most intricate task is to sort out what points you to the direction you truly want to head to. Even intuition or dreams offer multiple impressions on the same matter. For example, once I dreamed of happily married to an ex-boyfriend, then another day I had a vividly devastating dream where he was about to die of asthma.

I couldn't identify my true mentality and confidence towards the relationship. Therefore, conflicting moments like these have made me sought "ah-ha" moments from my guides.

Addition to that, I usually seek guides' opinion on solution-based questions, not preference-based questions. Sometimes I was already determined to walk down a path I've chosen but didn't know how to improve or manifest certain situations. Guides may still fall silent on me at this point. Some time may pass. Then they will start offering advice again when I steered myself towards another road.

And usually the newer road seems to be the better road for my growth (still can't comment accurately on that right now), may it be very distinct from my original desire. It still somewhat confuses me how guides don't always offer retrospection, prediction, and clarification on less favorable paths. But timing is a powerful tool for tests, isn't it?
