I think I got contacted by a guide!

[StarieEyed]

I was lying down and just about to fall asleep, the kind where you have weird quick dreams but aren’t full asleep. Well all the sudden a man showed up, blurted out his name was Stephen and told me a few quick things I can't remember them all b/c I got interrupted by my phone. He looked like an older white guy, kind of chubby and looked like a stereo type psychologist with gray hair, and was very matter of fact.

The thing I do remember is that he said I did not really try hard enough on my relationship with my ex. We are having a baby together and it has been a rocky road. We are friends and talk every day and are still intimate but have held off on being "together" as in getting married before the baby comes this fall. Its really weird b/c I am almost POSITIVE that it will not work as my ex BUGS me now, it may be hormones, I am aware of this but still it doesn't feel "right".

So my question is, and I may just be asking myself this, but is everything the guides say always "right"?

I really want to get in contact with my guides again, I hope he/they pop up again, b/c I have not been really successful trying to do it. When this happened, there was nothing farther from my mind then talking to a guide. Also I did not ask him the question, he just blurted it out! I guess that means he thought it was really important, huh?

Our Guides never tell us something that isn't true or necessary.

That being said, we, as "hoomins", have a tendancy to take what "is" and make it "mean" something. Sometimes we're right, but just as often we're not.

For instance: In this situation, what "IS" is that your Guide said that you didn't try hard enough in your relationship with your ex. He did NOT say you should go back into it or continue it or expand it. That's what YOU are making it mean. Now maybe that's what he meant; but maybe not. Maybe he was just pointing it out to you so that you try harder next time and make the next relationship stronger.

The best way to find out is to practice connecting with your Guide yourself and next time, ask!

[StarieEyed]

Thank you, you are right, from what I remember he did not say anything about trying again, and he was so "matter of fact" I'm thinking if that were his message he would have said that. It was a really great feeling to be able to have contact with a guide and it was so clear yet not. I cannot wait to do it again. Thank you again for your insight!

Why would he say she didn't try hard enough if the relationship was not meant to be? Wouldn't trying harder have wasted more of her time?

Maybe it's just me but I don't see why we should trust random discarnate entities with anything.

You wouldn't let a stranger walk up to you in public and take his random advice.

How do you know that Stephen is really your guide? How do you know he has your best interests in mind at all?

[StarieEyed]

Dannyboy1: Good point, the reason he might be saying that to me is b/c I still blame mostly my ex for the reason things did not work out and hold alot of anger toward him for that. I am really good at finding reasons for anything thing though so I never really know if its just me making crap.

The thing that I'm a little angry about or just kinda bummed is that there was some other stuff said too with "Stephen" that I just cannot remember I don't *think* it had to do with my relationship though but I could be wrong.

yossarian: I guess I dont know for sure if it was a guide but I didnt feel like he was trying to cause me any harm and really really felt the need to get me this message, who else would want to do that? On that same note sometimes when I lay in bed at night and try to contact my guides, scary images come into my head and I dont know if its my imagination or really scary beings trying to scare me. Anyone get this? I have to open my eyes and pray to God to keep me safe in order to feel better and I stop trying to contact anyone b/c I get too wierd-ed out.

Guides are anything but random. When a Guide comes to you it is for a reason. Random, prowling entities seldom make an appearance to those who have not sought them out. Our Allies and Benefactors don't allow that.

This was one of StarieEyed Guides. Maybe not her (sorry, making a gender assumption here - please correct me if I'm wrong) main Guide, but definately a Guide.

There's a heck of a lot of well known channels who would disagree.

Carla Rueckert for instance talks about how it's basically standard operating procedure for 4th dimension negative entities to contact people and pose as guides. They'll give advice that sounds positive so that you keep tuning in, but the advice is intended to subtly screw you up from further development, to keep you bogged down and not raise your consciousness, which would then raise the consciousness of the earth impacting the aspirations for domination which The Dark has.

Are You Seeking the Light or Just Dancing with the Dark? A Guide to Spiritual Discernment by Peter Newton

I have a big problem with so many people going out and contacting the first entity that appears to them, and then trusting that entity. Most people who do this agree you have to challenge your source, you have to ask them who they are and ask them what they stand for and you have to send them a greeting of powerful love and joy in the name of something powerful.

Mato, you seem to have spoken to your guides for a long time and I'd really appreciate your take on this. I have "met" various discarnate entities posing as my guides but as of now I have little reason to trust them. And if you can't trust them, it begs the question: what's the point?

Edit to say: As soon as I hit submit, I looked at the clock, it was 2:22 exactly, and then I looked at this post, it was posted at 2:22 exactly. These are thoughts I've had for some time and I increasingly feel like they are not far off.

Yes! Me too, I've wondered this [especially regarding Erin, who talked to my alleged spirit guides and who makes a lot of spiritually universal proclamations based on what other-worldly entities have told her or what she has seen, things that most people on this site seem to mindlessly eat up like she's the inspired author of the Bible on spirituality.]

Having said that, however, I don't mean I think this entity was necessarily not the OP's guide, I'd think more that it might have been a guide. But it's important to consider what Yossarian says, because it's also true and you can get led astray and you can then lead others astray as well.

I had an experience similar to that once, only it was a powerful, real-feeling dream I had of a female demon-presence trying to drag me down to her hell. Even after I woke up, I could still feel her around me and I also had to ask God to protect me and not let me dream of that thing again. It was absolutely horrifying, the emotions inside that female thing. But I was not nor have I ever tried to commune with spirits, so it was not related to efforts I was making. I couldn't imagine actively or deliberately inviting such a horror into my life. Nowadays, though, I think I have found some angels to help me .

Possibly send out an intention to have definitive proof of what they're are telling you is true or that it works. If that doesn't work than you only spent an X amount of hours on it and/or you weren't open to the possibility...

plus atleast for me personally...it feels good that someone has your back and your highest regard in mind.

[Kaspian]

Anytime you feel the presence of a spiritual entity, it's a good idea to ask it if it works toward your highest good. If it answers with anything but an unhesitating "yes" that feels loving, dismiss it.

You know, I've thought about how to respond to this for a while because I feel it's important, and I want to honor the question. So I spent a lot of time examining how I came to Spirit and how I began to communicate with my Guides.

Having done that, I think I should be more careful of the statements I make.

I seem to have a tendency to assume that everyone's experience with their Guides, Allies and Benefactors will follow a similar path as my own. I've always sort of assumed that eventhough we have different words for things and may feel differently about the experience, that the experience itself was pretty much the same.

I've felt this way because just about everyone I know and everyone that I've communicated with about this subject has born that out for me. However, I've had a bit of a realization about that. Namely, most of the folks I share Spiritual conversations with have come to their Guides and Allies in a very positive, loving and high-vibrational ways. That is to say, that even if they were going through tough times on a personal level, they were never desparate, hateful, angry, or in similar low-vibrational states.

When I contacted my Benefactor for the first time, I was in a very good space in my life. For most of those I know who were not in good spaces when they first contacted their Guides, they were protected and guided by an Elder or Medicine Person.

For us, who've come to Spirit in this way, discerning between our Guides and Allies and other more negative or destructive entities is a non-issue. It'd be like a wolf with a little bit of sheep's wool attached to it in various places trying to pass itself off as a sheep. Just not gonna happen. It's obvious.

That being said, I have to acknowledge that this is not going to be the case for everyone, and that those who come to Spirit in a low-vibrational state such as desparation, hate, anger, or severe depression without the aid and protection of a stronger, more experienced Helper, are likely to be much more open to negative or hurtful entities.

Therefore I also have to acknowledge that care needs to be taken in these issues and one needs to be very conscious of their energy levels when reaching into the Spirit Realm.

Even still, in this particular situation, I am very confident that StarieEyed was contacted by one of her Guides and that the information she received was given for her benefit.

[StarieEyed]

Thank you everyone for your replies, I am also confident that it was a guide. It really was a good piece of, not advice exactly, but observation. My two good friends I told about the experience agreed right away with what Stephen said without even having to think about it. And while it was not earth shattering info, it needed to be said and was useful to me.

While things are not perfect in my life right now, I believe that I am climbing the “vibration” latter, so to speak. My one wish for now is that I can communicate that easily and clearly again. It was so effortless on my part and SO clear that I have no doubts that I was somehow imagining it. I bought a book to help me out and intend to read further into it tonight.

[StarieEyed]

Just wanted to update you all. I took this advice ot heart at decided just to try a little harder, not with the intent to get back together or anything just to be nicer and make a real effort. Well here we are just a month an a half later and things couldn't be better! We plan on getting married and both couldn't be happier Thank you to you all and especially to my guide Stephen! I never thought things could be so great again.
