Notes on Between Death & Life
Chapter 8: Guides

* Almost every culture in the world has beliefs in guardian angels or         protector spirits.
* There are guardian spirits (A.K.A. Guides, Guardian Angels, Helpers)
           * They are usually someone that you have had a close bond with before & they are attending                         school or whatever on spirit plane.
   * They help you through your learning period on the physical plane.
   * They help protect you.
   * They serve their purpose on the spirit level.
   * They can choose their own affinities (who to guide).
   * They are often with you from the day you are born.
          * Aloneness is a walling off of one’s self away from others.

 * There are those who, after an incarnation, must go to spirit school to be a teacher or a                 guide.
           * Some spirits become teachers in schools on the spirit plane.
           * Some are a guide to someone on the physical plane.
 * Most of the time, the spirits that surround you have your best interests at heart, but you                must learn to protect yourself from negative entities & energies.
           * Surround yourself with what is positive & good.
           * Your personal guide is powerful enough to help keep other influences away.
           * There is no good or bad, only positive or negative
           * Any experience that is learned is never negative.
   * How to tell if a spirit or influence is positive or negative:
           * If you see that things will go wrong, then you know that this entity does NOT wish you well.
           * If advice comes from your guide, it will feel very right.
   * Your guide(s) feel as if they are a part of yourself & an extension.
               * They do not run the show from the sidelines.
               * It is a mutual, consensus agreement, a partnership between spiritual & physical.
               * They do their work, and you do yours.
       * Many decisions are purely human & based on human thought, experience & concept.
       * Guides assist with their wisdom & experience.
       * They are merely there to offer help & assist, if we choose/ when asked.
               * You are the master of your destiny!
       * Guides & helpers do not try to influence but to assist or enlighten.
   * Please do not feel you must help everyone all the time.
           * Feel only that you should help when you feel you want to help.
           * Forced help is worse than no help at all!
       * Example 1:  A child gets into some poison.  You would not want the child to drink the poison,                         so you try to assist in letting them know & preventing them from drinking it, but if the child                          persists then it is on them.
       * Example 2:  You are driving & unaware of a car that is on a collision path with you.  The                                     steering wheel jerks, avoiding the collision.  You do the steering, the guide(s) merely                                         inform you.  They warn you, but you take action & choose for yourself.
   * Those on the astral plane are often amused by the impetuousness & impatience of humans.
           * A thought on the spirit plane makes things occur instantaneously.
           * On Earth we are given much more time between thinking & materialization of thought, so we                     have a chance to change our mind.
                               *Intent is the most important thing about what we wish to materialize.

* The relationship between guide & guided is fluid & changes from incarnation 

      to incarnation, and even within a single incarnation, as needed.
           * There is no rigid set rule.
           * Means are dictated by the need.
       * Guides are selected by the need at that period in a person’s life.
               * Sometimes a guide is with you your entire life.
               * Others may be temporary or may come & go as needed.
                       * Their functions change as our lives change.

* Counselor - higher order than a guide; has more knowledge & experience; has usually been            removed from an incarnation for some time & is drawn in for information
           * A guide may know more of the physical
           * A counselor may know more detail

    * Analogy:  Like a school in the physical realm, the guide is like our classroom teacher who knows             us more personally & the counselor is like our principal who is more removed from the situation but        very knowledgeable & objective.
   * Guides will speak to you when it is necessary or relevant.
   * There are no names in the spirit realm.  It is best to know a guide more by vibrations.
           * There are only sounds, vibrations, and colors in the spirit realm.

VIDEO - Dolores Cannon on Guardian Angels:

   * It is possible for anyone to become a guide.
           * Depends solely on how you develop your karma.
           * Depends on an individual’s development.
           * Once you have attained a particular spiritual plane, you can either be a guide or sit on                                  the general council [Chapter 13] depending on which way you need to develop.

* When you cross over, the energy patterns are perfectly clear & you can tell right away where someone is compatible & where they fit in & what level they are at & what they can do.  And that is what you give them to do.  You give it to them in such a way that it helps them to grow & develop so they can attain new abilities.
                   * Since everything is energy, everything is done according to how you fit in with the energy
                   * It takes a certain amount of built up energy for you to re-enter the physical plane.

* When it is time for you to go back to the physical plane, the general council comes in & determines when, where, and to whom you are born on the physical plane
       * They will choose according to what is compatible with your energy & surrounding energy.
       * You will be put back in contact with those from other lifetimes, & hence you come up with                         linked karmas. 

* When you decide it’s time for you to re-enter the physical plane, once you make that decision, it is set in motion.
    * Analogy:  It is like pouring water down a water slide.  Once the water is poured down the slide, it              cannot go back or stop.  It can only be recollected after it has come off the bottom of the slide. 

* Stillborn Babies:  In such a situation, the parents bearing the baby need that experience in their               lives at that point for their own development of their karma.

* In situations where one dies when they are very young:

    * usually spirits that are advanced enough to occasionally go to the physical plane, not necessarily                 because they need to work out an aspect of their karma, but to help out someone else’s                             karma.

    * They do it to help them when for some reason the other person’s karma will be benefited by just                 having a particular spirit within the realm of their lives for a short duration.
                   * More advanced spirits volunteer to go to the physical plane for a short period of time to                                  help give another spirits’ karma a nudge.
