Meeting your Spirit Guide - while awake.

Beyond Dreaming
41

Okay, I’m still not sure if I beleive this or not, but I’d like to think it’s true, so I tried. And, like I said, I’m still not sure. I don’t trust myself not to misconstrue things, so I have no way yet to tell if I’m just imagining it, but, well, I tried.

The only consistent thing I got was a very faint feeling like my shirt was suddenly touching the middle of my back more than usual. I didn’t want to assume too much, so I waited and tried the next night. It wasn’t until it happened again that I remembered that, well, it already had the last time. I hope I’m not imagining it.

When I asked for a yes answer, I got this peculiar nodding sensation that started in my head, almost like that sort of pre-sleep rocking thing. If I waited, it would get to the point where I would end up actually rocking back and forth. When I tried no, strangely, I didn’t get the familiar ‘no’ headshake, but instead the rocking changed to being left-right instead of forward-backward. I wasn’t sure what to make of it, so I tried some more, but after a few more tries all I got was the no, no matter what.

I still don’t quite know what to make of this.

I haven’t ever really called up SGs except for when I seriously needed help. (Usually just thinking of them while in a situation I need assistance in is enough to bring some form of help.)

I’m surprised no one has mentioned those fundamentalists and their sites regarding this…

43

I meditate for Tae Kwon Do a lot. We mediatate at the begining and sometimes end of class, but thats short (like 5 minutes tops) Every now and then, when I get bored and have some free time, I’ll just meditate to pass the time :tongue: I don’t have a daily meditation schedule or anything though. :smile:

Odd…on my way home from school today, I felt a presence running after the bus. He was definently enjoying himself, running on the sidewalks, jumping over trees, and at one point, running up the side of an over pass and jumping on the bus! I thought it was Xander when I got off the bus and he was waiting (he managed to run ahead). It wasn’t.
Me-“Hey, fun isn’t it?” :content:
Him-“Yes, it’s a fun game” (I realized it wasn’t Xanders voice)
Me-“You’re not Xander are you?”
Him-“No, I’m-” (and I heard him say John and Rob at the same time)
Me-“Are you my Spirit Guide?”
Him-“Sorta”

:help: I’m a little confused…Is he…err…they…my SG’s too. Do I have three, and Xander is just the “biggest”, or most powerfull? :confused: Why did I hear John and Rob at the same time?? :eh:

Some people believe you have one or more Spirit Guides, some of which are temporary or to help you through something specific.

But I would always check with your known spirit guide[s] first to make sure this other entity is for real. It may have just been a stray spirit entity.

Ok, just talked to Xander. Turns out this spirit is Skitzo, thus explaining the 2 names. He (or should I say they) is a “temporary SG”. :eh: Xander doesn’t really want to talk about it too much though. My theory: This spirit is “new on the job” :wink: , and was assigned to me as a temporary guide. Probably because Xander is such a good SG, he’d make a good mentor/example. :content:

I think its a little peculiar though, that I’d get a Skitzo SG, just after my latest poem. :eek: Atleast the 2 minds aren’t fighting each other like you’d probably expect from a split personality. :smile:

47

Although I’m very open to a lot of different things. And I don’t discount the whole SG thing at all.

But I wonder how much responses are auto-suggested. As far as I understand, being able to be in such a relaxed state in order to contact them takes a lot of practice. I could see how much easier it is during an LD b/c your body is already in a relaxed state.

I, personally, have yet to meet my SG. I say I’m going to try and contact them but then I begin to wonder whether I should or not and I don’t.

48

I could see how much easier it is during an LD b/c your body is already in a relaxed state.

The problem with that is you never really know if it’s your SG or your subconscious giving you want you want. Granted the same is true with what is in this thread, both are questionable.

Part of the reason I wish I was clairvoyant.

49

Is it possible for someone to believe they have contacted their SG even though they might actually be bringing themselves into a lucid dream which may just replicate the surroundings?

50

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. I wrote out a fairly long post then realised I might have misunder stood.

Are you asking if the person might actually have fallen alseep and be in a lucid dream and just think they are awake and communicating with an SG, or are you saying something else?

If it’s the former then, I would say it’s possible. Since some people may need to be very relaxed to communicate, it would be quite easy to just slip off into a WILD like state. But they would most likely realise this when they woke up, I’ve had very realistic dreams to the point I believed I was awake. But when I truely woke up, I always knew the difference because reality feels different. If that makes sense.

51

Yes, that’s what I’m asking.

So given your answer about it being a possibility. How would someone that is just starting differentiate whether they’ve had an actual contact? Is there a similarity in people’s beliefs, practices that make it more credible?

I hope I’m clear on that last part.

[size=75]I haven’t slept today, so I appologise in advance for any really poor spelling/grammer errors[/size]

I honestly do not believe there is a “perfect” answer to that.

The best way to answer it would be to ask you how you know you had a Lucid Dream rather than a False Lucid.

Driving down to basics it’s faith, experience and instinct. A lucid dream is dreaming that you believe you know you are sleeping and may have an illusion of control. A lucid dream is having it, but even when we wake sometimes, we aren’t completely sure if it was lucid or false lucid.

A person who is just starting to lucid dream has the same problem differenciating. They learn from other members stories and use that to guide themselves.

I would say it’s similar in this case. The sensations I get, I post but the emotions I don’t. The reason for this is because I never read about the emotions thing, or heard it, it’s come from experience and I’ve trusted it at an instinctual level. If I was to post it I fear it might become auto-suggestion for someone and harm their ability to differentiate.

The best advice I could give is to write down everything you can remember when you try contacting, over time (dependant on how often you try) you will start to see paterns, things that happen everytime, feelings that occur that I don’t other wise believe I would experience. They’ve become a sort of marker, if I don’t experience them I’m a little wary, but won’t write it off as a subconscious reply rather than an SG reply.

I will look through my notes later and see if there’s things that I can post that may help a newcomer differentiate.

As far as the last part goes, I would have to re-look into that area before answering. Though if you want to do a little research, you might want to start with spiritualist mediums and their accounts of their own guides. But a personal belief is that credibility wise, it’s personal, very much like religion.

I don’t know if you personally follow a faith/religion, but it’s much like trying to tell a non-believer about God and proving their exsistance, the athiest may turn what you say into, coincidence, unfounded faith/trust and things like that.

It’s the same with this Spirit Guide belief, I have no doubt that my Guides are real and not auto-suggestion, but trying to convince someone else is very difficult and comes down to the indivual wanting/willing to believe and their experiences to define whether they believe either way.

Unfortunately I don’t SGs will ever be proven scientific fact, much like God - at least not in life.

Not the answer I would like to have given, but it is the truth as I know it, I hope it was useful to you in some way.
