I’ve been thinking about the forces that are said to protect us, and the different beliefs and ideas on them. They have been in the mythos of many cultures that have existed on earth, to some they are Angels, Spirits descended from the Heaven, to others they are Guides of great wisdom who have fulfilled enough in a former life, or lives, and have advanced past reincarnation and are sent to help us, they are also believed to be Totems, or Animals, or even beings not from Earth, but the entire universe.
Spirit Guides are said not to exist on this plane, yet existing on the Astral Plane, or the “the other side.”It is also said that mediumship is not needed to contact Spirit Guides, there are many techniques that claim to help people contact their guides, they include meditation and Lucid dreaming, none of course,is scientifically proven.
Angels are religious being who are believed to be messengers and ministers of God, born without free will. Theologians claim that they have no physical form, yet can take form of humans, and appear neither male, nor female, often appearing Androgynous. Many believe that we are all protected by Guardian Angels, who watch over us and protect us in times of need, some relate Angels with spirit guides, as if they are one in another.
I have heard stories from friends that relate to either Spirit Guides or Angels, the first one was a woman that claims that she sees her spirit guide who is an American Indian woman, who helps her in times of need. I don’t know many details about it, but my friend seemed honest and in full belief. My other friend was a youth pastor at a Protestant church, that told a story about when he was a teenager, he was riding bikes with his friends, and he did a trick that inadvertently directed him into the street where a large truck was barreling down, and right before the truck would have hit him a force pulled him out of the road, saving his life. He wasn’t the type of pastor to tell stories to boost faith of those listening, and definitely was not the type to lie.
It is all a matter of belief or opinion whether Angels, Spirit Guides, a mixture of both or nothing protect and/or guide us through life, but just believing in these can give power to the believer. There may not be a clear answer, as far as we know it could be completely different than the two, but they can still give power to us. It all depends on what you choose to believe. But as humans we don’t know that yet, so don’t overanalyze any topic to the point of misunderstanding, that causes confusion, which may lead to disbelief, but it is all up to the thinker.
Remember to never discount something because it is unexplained, the answer may not lye on this plane, or it may take knowledge, time, or teaching from others to find the answer. Another thing is to never let other people falter your beliefs, if you have faith in them, they may be true, or they may not, but it is up to you to decide.
