Here’s a question and comment from Helen:

I would be very interested in knowing how you became aquainted with your spirit guides. I would also like to know what their lives were like and when they lived. Can they tell you their spiritual stage ? I had a reading at the Wayne County Museum and
was very pleased. Thanks for what you do for all of us!

Hi Helen - thanks for the compliment!
I became acquainted with my Spirit Guides when I first learned to meditate with a private teacher, who quickly learned that I was a “natural” medium, and who helped me to become a Trance Channeler. He had me come to know them quite well, and it was a real revelation to realize that the voices in my head, that I’d heard all my life, were actually “them” and not “me”!
To be honest, I don’t know a great deal about my Guides lives, though. They’ve always impressed upon me that it’s not about their individual aspects, but rather the group dynamic. They’ve never identified themselves as individuals, except for one Guide named Michael, and have always asked me to just consult them, and refer to them as “the Guides”. They have consistently hammered in the notion that it’s not the messenger, but the message, that matters, and therefore, they do not assert themselves as personalities. (And of course, that means it’s not about ME either, I’m just a messenger, too!) And, when I tell people about their Guides and their names, and the lifetimes they had together, at the end they almost always tell the person to not focus just on that one Guide by name, but rather to call upon all their Guides for help. (One reason they give for that is to not limit yourself - if you ask Bob for help, maybe you’re excluding Mary, who could really be the best helper in that moment! Also, we have all have so many Guides, we don’t usually know them all or what they do!)
The exception for me has been Michael, who is my main Guide, and I actually didn’t know a great deal about him until I had a very rough time in my life, years ago. He came through to me as a “real person” in the sense that he was my dearest friend, not just my teacher and helper and guide. At that time he told me a bit about our lives together, many of which were love relationships, parent and child, and teacher/student lifetimes. I also know that he is a Master Teacher, and perhaps even more than that, but always think of him, and see him, as my friend.
Thanks for the great question!
Debbie
