On frequenting Spiritualist churches, you may be forgiven for thinking that all guides are Native Americans, or monks and nuns or Sisters of Mercy. You may find yourself asking why the American Indians White Feather and Red Cloud can possibly be the guides of so many mediums at the same time, and why even Sitting Bull is appearing at lots of circles simultaneously.
Whilst some of these very spiritual beings may often be present at such events, there is, occasionally, a deluded person who makes the claim of having such venerable guides, because they think it will impress others.
It is of course possible, that the person is aware of such a similar spirit and thinks that it will be good to put a name to them, therefore making them misguided rather than deluded. Queen Victoria and Cleopatra are others whose names are bandied around, most often without any proof at all.
You must learn to seek proof in all things and take nothing at face value. Use your own intelligence to figure it out.
It makes obvious sense that spiritual souls will want to come and help us with our spiritual growth, but those souls who led ordinary everyday lives, can and do make very good helpers and guides.
Whatever we need to learn at certain times during our development and eternal progression, a particular guide will come, with the knowledge we are needing. They will help us all they can to progress.
It may be a spirit who was a road sweeper, nun, typist, actor or musician in this earthly life. Whichever earthly body or life they inhabited you should welcome them, as they have only our well being in mind. They will teach us so much about spirituality as well as about everyday life.
Some will bring humour and some serenity. Some will bring prayer and devotion. Whatever is necessary for us to have guidance with at that particular time in our life. Spirit know what it is we need guidance with and we are humbled when they come to call.
Enjoy the experience and cherish their devotion to you.
