Can guides read your mind?

[nurikabe]

I've recently started getting readings from a variety of sources, and astounded by what I'm learning. What has surprised me, however, is that guides, spirits, etc. can't seem to discern internal intention.

For example, I have been advised to detach myself from outcomes that, though outwardly I may appear committed, internally I had already realized the need to move on. If my feelings on the outcome were clear to guides or spirits, I wouldn't expect such advice.

Likewise, asking general questions such as "Why am I frustrated" while thinking about a specific event will generate different (and often startling) answers regarding unrelated issues.

I find this extremely surprising and was wondering what others could share on the topic of thought and spirit.
