Spirit Guides

Many of our visitors are keen to ask Hai and the other spirit guides in our Spirit Group about the nature and purpose of spirit guides. They have also asked questions about the identity of spirit guides and why a particular spirit guide comes to work with us. Hai has occasionally given information about a person's spirit guide though more often he encourages people to seek direct contact. Isleen's meditations have sometimes helped people to meet and know their spirit guide.

At times other spirit guides have introduced themselves to the group. Two of Eileen's guides have done so. Red Cloud lived his last incarnation in the 19th century as a North American Indian. He presents as a very strong, authoritative character. Patience was one of the early Quaker settlers in North America. She presents as a very gentle, patient person. We give below a small selection of questions and responses.

One of the points of interest to visitors has been the backgrounds of spirit guides and whether there are any common characteristics.

Q: Why are most of the spirit guides Red Indians?

Hai: I do not have any feathers! There are many spirit guides. They are not all by any means of Indian ancestry. There are some who, when on the earth plane, were North American Indian in identity, but there are many who were not Indian. I think there is an element here of people being more sensitive, expectant, about Indian guides because of the associations which they create in relation to our Indian brothers. The range of guides is immense. It is perhaps the case, though, that those who are prominent in undertaking this role, the role which I myself have taken, had a particular orientation while on the earth plane and this predisposes or enables us more easily to step into the role we occupy. This perhaps relates to the fact that your conditions of life distract people from advancing in certain directions. Detract and distract them from developing certain affinities and skills. So, it may be that some cultures better prepare people for the role, even into the afterlife in the Spirit Land.

Q: Why do spirit guides sometimes change?

Hai: It is because the person develops and therefore makes themselves open to the possibility of a more advanced guide working with them. Someone who can take them on further along the path.

Q: Is there a spirit who stays with us throughout our lives?

Hai: Yes, this may be so. As I say it depends on the individual and the guide who is working with them. It's not necessary always for a guide to change. The individual does not always require a change of guide. So there are individual factors here. As always there is no rigid blueprint.

On another occasion we had a discussion with Patience about the role of guides and in particular discussed the nature of her role.

Q: Do you work exclusively with Eileen?

Patience: I do not work exclusively, but we have a special bond.

Q: Do you have a particular role with the healing?

Patience: I have the role of clearing the path, of making things straight and level.

Q: Is that in all matters or specifically healing?

Patience: In the healing I assist and facilitate to help things progress well.

Q: That's nice to know.

Patience: You are nice to know.

Q: Are there still as many bumps to iron out with my healing?

Patience: There are always bumps to iron out, but we progress. This is the important thing, is it not? We iron out the bumps. There may be more along the way, but we iron them out and so we go on and before we know where we are we make rapid, good progress. A bit at a time, one step at a time, a hill at a time, to climb the mountain.

Q:What do the bumps refer to? Is it energies?

Patience: The bumps are blockages, inconsistencies. You must know yourself the difficulties which we all face from your side and ours. There are fluctuations in faith. There are fluctuations in the channel. There are fluctuations in how strong the contact may be between us. All of these things are bumps are they not, blockages? We cannot hope to iron things out, to become a level smooth plane, because our lives are not like that. Inevitably there will always be bumps to be ironed out. But we may progress nevertheless and the bumps may get fewer and not as big.
