There are a few things you need to be aware of if you set out to work on the spiritual pathway. Here are a few I think it important to impart.
The Ego
The ego is something that should be left behind whilst working with spirit. All too often, a big ego spoils what was potentially a great gift. It can soon become ‘Aren’t I good?’ and sadly, all mention of not being able to give messages without spirit’s help, can be forgotten.
It is easy to become self-obsessed when sitters are singing your praises, but you should never forget where the communication actually comes from. To be humble, compassionate and caring, is far better than being egotistical. Your development will fare better for it.
One’s Own Mind
It can be very hard at first to differentiate between the thoughts in your head and the messages being put into your mind by spirits. You will soon be able to figure it out. You will know when it is something that you have put into your mind and not spirit. To make sure and to reassure yourself, ask for a sign from your guide. This can be a signal that you will always recognise as being them. It can be a touch of the head or face, a particular sensation, or something else. You can decide what it is to be, then you can ask your guide or Guardian Angel to repeat the signal every time you ask.
If in doubt, you can use my method: say to spirit that you have understood the message, but need to know if it is really from spirit, and not from your own mind. Wait for the signal before carrying on. If you do not get the correct signal, do not give the communication.
Not Everything in Your Head is a Message
It is dangerous to start to believe that everything going through your mind is a message from the spirit world. It is not spirit if it is something you have been thinking of, it is probably just your own mind. If you have tuned in to spirit whilst opening up your psychic centres and asked for communication, then it may be a message. “Test all things”, should be your motto. You are seeking the truth, so you do not want to be deluded.
Some novices, assume that everything going through their mind is a spiritual message, it is not. It would be mind boggling if it were. You would have trouble sorting it all out. Also, it would interfere with your material life, and it is for this purpose (living a material life) that we are here on the earth plane, to live our life and learn our lessons.
Prove all things, and, as the saying goes, “Test ye the Spirit.” Take nothing for granted and always work with humility. I leave you in the safe hands of your Spirit Guide. May you spend many happy and wonderful hours communicating with them and proving life after death to seekers of truth.
