Spiritual Guidance From the Other Side: 7 Tips to Connect and Receive Insight
72The expectation or hope of dramatic, obvious contact
with a spiritual guide or guides too often leads to
disappointment. Much emphasis has been placed on
spirit guide contact by many spiritual authors, but
frankly, we believe your higher-self should receive
more attention.
Below are seven tips for gaining authentic spiritual
guidance.
1. It's very important to note that not all "guides"
offer absolute truth and wisdom just because they
are not in a physical body. Some have strong biases
and may not be objective with their advice to you.
It's easy to mistake a disincarnate soul (someone
who died but did not go to "the Light" for a variety
of reasons) or a mischievous or dark entity for a
"guide." If the guide offers input that sounds
impartial or prejudiced in any way, doesn't feel
uplifting or of a higher vibration, or feels negative
and gives negative sounding advice (e.g., telling
you to do something that would incur karma),
demand that it leave and ask for spiritual cleansing
help from whomever you pray to.
For example, if you make contact through a ouija
board, pendulum, or some other means with an
energy who claims to have been someone famous,
such as Elvis, be wary. Even if it really is a
deceased, famous personality, there is no
guarantee that the information imparted will be
truthful and non-subjective. Besides, it's common
for dark entities to play such games.
2. Everyone perceives spiritual guidance differently.
Some hear (clairaudience), some see (clairvoyance),
some just know (claircognizance), some feel
(clairsentience), some taste or smell, and some
experience various combinations or all of the above
(clair-all). This is true with past life recall also.
If you just know or feel, you may not directly hear or
see your guides or past lives.
Although you may very well have one (or more) main
guardian angel or guide, it's likely that most people
are not supposed to have a consistent, direct,
conscious link to him or her while incarnated. Why,
you ask? If you could pick up your spiritual
telephone and had an invisible, on-call advisor to
give you direct answers, 100% sure-fire direction
any time you needed it, this would be cheating;
you would not learn the lessons you've incarnated
to experience.
Furthermore, we agree that help from angels of the
Light and ascended master guides is available to
many, but the insight you receive may be so subtle
that you won't be able to identify much about the
source, other than to know that it feels genuine and
pure.
3. It's entirely possible, in our opinion, that many
people have created, in their mind, a name and image
of the helpful spiritual energy they call their guide.
We don't see anything wrong with this, as long as it's
only to identify the energy.
4. We don't feel that associating a name with spiritual
insight or discovering the name of a guide is important
because it may not always be a guide from which you are
deriving information, and it's easy to become dependent
on a guide.
5. Receiving outside help is great when needed, but
relying on yourself as much as possible in meditation
by connecting with your subconscious mind and your
higher-self is usually best. Your subconscious mind is
where all past and present life memories are stored,
along with all fears and defenses. Your higher-self is
also your link to your super-conscious, or all that is.
Some say it's a direct connection to God, your
god-self.
Our Direct Your Destiny (tm) e-package offers
extensive tips and tools to help you get the most of
your inner guidance.

6. If you meditate regularly and connect with your
higher-self, you will have all the help you need, which
may sometimes include the help of other-dimensional
guides of the Light. All you have to do is focus on the
dilemma or question, and if you are meant to know the
answer, you will know it, when you are meant to
realize it, one way or another.
Through years of practicing meditation, we regularly
receive flashes of insight and the answers to questions
by detaching just enough from the conscious mind to
allow higher-self insight to flow to the doorstep of
consciousness. Sometimes it seems as if the answers
are waiting there for us to perceive.
7. Meditation is so important for self-awareness and
stress reduction. Develop and practice it as a regular
discipline and you will benefit in many ways,
including receiving regular spiritual guidance and
the ability to discern cosmic noise from divine
insight.
In summary, we believe it's to your advantage to put
aside the desire to commune with specific spiritual
guides and instead focus on becoming or remaining
grounded and centered, and accessing your inner
awareness and your higher-self.

Hi Meme40,
Thanks for the feedback! Where is your blog page?
Take care,
Scott
It's on hubpages. Just click on my profile image. I know I should post more than I do, but I work 50 hours a week and can't find much time to write. If I wrote down all I experienced , day in and day out, then writing would be all I did.Right now I'm asking any spirit who will listen to me about how to gracefully leave my husband that I never loved or when the day it is he will leave. Beside's being Clairaudio, I've also experienced full body apparitions. I really appreciate you and your brother's website and knowledge! I stayed up until 11:00 pm last night reading your site. Very educational for everyone...not matter what they believe or experience. Fantastic work! Bless you for being the beautiful souls you are and all you share! Take care, Diana
Oh, that blog. :)
Thanks for the feedback, Diana!

Hi Scott!
I enjoy many of your writings on here :)
I have many skills I use myself, took a lifetime to develop but just like your other reader said here, if someone seeks an answer, it just comes to me, most of the time, then I will write an answer for someone and re read it.. and say.. wow I wrote that? LOL took a while for me to figure it all out, I live in a VERY conservative area. I also wrote poetry which I hope to add in the hub pages soon that I wrote with the help from someone, possibly one of my guides because when I read it, I am amazed at it each and every time.
I also have ADD I wonder if that is common? I can't meditate to save my life!! LOL I wrote a hub on meditations for dummies LOL well kind of like it.
I try when I go to bed.. but ohhh noooo I drop right off!!! :(
Thanks for all your time writing your hubs which help many of us keep our energies up with curiosity and knowlege. *winks*
Thanks for your feedback, Mystyk!
Scott

Hi scott i have recently came through as a medium and have done so a great speed with the help of the spirit world. I did most of my own training into the build up of
my 14 months of training and teaching, I have worked closely with arc angels and guides who have taught me well and i am still in regular contact with arc angel rapheal and arc angel metratron as well as my spirit guides. I have done successful readings, and told my work is part of evolution and will also be playing part of the revolution to which i was taught from the readings of the silver birch. I have now converted from a cathlolic to spiritaulism because it is the only religion that i feel has given me anything. As i progressed through my work i was asked by arc angels to give up meat and become a vegan as it was part of that religion and it was respecting the souls of animals, to which i could undrestand. But i was happy to do so and have now become a vegan for the last 7 months.
I have also came through as a genral and been tried and tested as it is part of the evolution/revolution which is the teachings of the silver birch. I wanted to know if you have came across ant like wise mediums yourself.
kind regards perri
perri taliana, thanks for your comment. To answer your question, I've "seen" entities with ant-like/shaped heads, while in a meditative state.
Scott
Thankyou Scott I have been taught that I do not need too meditate to connect and that I don't need to protect myself either as this is also part of the evolution.
Thanks for the additional comment perri taliana.
Although you don't necessarily need to exercise to live long either, it certainly enhances your well-being, just like meditation.
Meditation, protective techniques, and other spiritual disciplines can greatly assist your spiritual journey.
Also, it's doubtful an authentic guide would recommend veganism to you.
Eating meat is perfectly spiritual and besides, veganism is a very unhealthy diet for most people (see mercola.com for more information).
Regards,
Scott
hi scott thankyou for your reply. I do understand meditation is good for the mind and at some point i will practise this. I have also studied that meat it also can cause some unhealthy problems. The guidance i have been given on veganism is so im playing no part in animal cruelty as ive been taught all animals have a soul the same as we do and i need to respect that. My arc angels have taught me their is an actaul animal kindgdom where all animal souls return to when their lives have finished on our plane.I have also been shown all my past pets that have also passed over and it was very rewarding to them again. And i always practised protecting myself in the past but now i dont need to, but that is how i have been taught how to work i dont speak for anyone else as i know it is dicipline. I have also done a closed circle with a medium who also teaches mediums to enhance their skills and helps put them out to work, she also does not use protection either!
perri taliana, thanks for your feedback. Meditation isn't unhealthy at all. You have been misinformed. You speak of "animal cruelty." Well, let's acknowledge that animals eat animals and that it's always been that way, and that it's perfectly acceptable. It might help you to realize that if the animal knew how beneficial to your health it is to consume it, it would be happy for it, and indeed it is. If you insist on long-term veganism, you will likely harm your health. Please see www.mercola.com and search for "vegetarianism," "necessity of animal fats and protein," etc. There's a reason why most strict vegetarians look ill (unless they were very obese to begin with). You also speak of "not using protection." There are various forms of it, some conscious, some unconscious, and some from the other side.
Regards,
Scott
Hi scott, no you read that wrong i will try mediitation as im happy too. Im happy with my new religion and my new diet as i get guidance on both subjects from my arc angels. I know its wrong to consume any meat/dairy products as this has been my teachings from my arc angels to which i have faith in them and the spirit world. If you ever have time please read the philosophy of the silver birch page 101, Aspects of animal survival!
It is not part of the plan that needlesas cruelty, torture and brutality should be inflicted on animals by humans who beleive that they have a superior consciouness and are much greater beings.
All life is one. The divine spirit animates all who share this planet and have respsonsibillities towards one and other . You can not divide life into watertight, rigid compartments. All aspects of
life, man and animals, must move forward together. The animals cannot be left behind while man
makes hisevolutionary ascent. silver birch
perri taliana, thanks for offering your opinion.
I offer my view below.
Just as the ancients consumed free-range animals, it's acceptable to do so now. There isn't any "needless cruelty, torture, and brutality." It's just the way the food chain has always been.
Strict vegetarianism from a moral standpoint is distorted idealism.
What anyone believes about their consciousness compared to animals is completely irrelevant.
How about all the animals that eat other animals? Are you going to insist that they convert to strict vegetarianism too?
Here's a video from a former strict vegan who speaks of the dangers of veganism:

Scott
Thankyou scott, animals that eat animals is exepted thats nature as ive been taught, and its also exeptable to eat animals if your living off the land as ive also been taught as people do have too
survive and need too eat. I wiil persist with my diet and have been advised by my arc angels that its perfectly fine if a vegan diet does not suit me, then to try going vegeterian, and if that did not work then i would remain a meat eater thats if my health was to be in any danger as they would
never put my health in that position. My religion is very fair and understanding scott and i do hope in years to come i can still talk how this has worked for me and still let you know how healthy i still
will be aswell as happy. And with the food chain always being that way is right as i know and ive always been a meat eater, but with greater knowledge and understanding from the spirt world it has changed my opinion and hopefully many will follow
perri
perri taliana, I wish you the best of health and spiritual pursuits.
Scott
thankyou scott and all best my freind!!

Hi Scott! I like this blog and agree with you about knowing or learning the difference between good and not so good spirits. I learned this morning on the internet, of the death of comedian George Carlin, my sympathy's go out to his family, mostly because I can't help but wonder which way he went, if you know what I mean, after years of hearing about how he doesn't believe in God. No disrepect, I just wonder what he thinks now???
I've been clairaudio since the age of 4 and don't usually have to meditate to communicate. I don't have a specific guide or look for one, they seem to talk to me, sometimes all at once and I have to be quiet to listen to the loudest and most persistant to pay attention, but if I'm tired, I seem to relax more and listen better. I'm pretty ADD myself, even at my age, and being a Scorpio, I know when someone is seriously persistant and needs help. I can't communicate on demand with spirits like they do with me, but when I need help through guidance, I just wait, sometimes weeks and the answer comes to me. Not always the answer I wanted and sometimes I hear wrong. Depends on what's going on in my life and how hard I want to listen. After so long of dealing with this "Clairaudience", it's hard to explain it to non-beleivers of the spiritual energy and I feel like I don't have to, and then it's hard to tune it out or turn it off, so I try to be patient with them. As a child my mother and grandmother used to tell me not to tell other people about it, after my asking questions as to why I have this ability. They don't have this ability, but I found out 22 years ago that my great-grandmother did and that the rest of the bible thumpers in my family always kept it a secret.
Hope you come to visit my blog page and I know I will come back to visit yours. THank you for posting so much about the spirit world which truly helps curious and non-beleiving people! Take care.
