In my own mind, when we pass away we can be
more alive and aware than we are in physical life. Considering this, guides
refer to an entity or a soul that attaches itself to a person and/or a family
as a guide in physical life, guiding a person and /or family through physical
life.
My grandmother had a very hard life with my
grandfather, even the WWII soldiers my grandfathers fought with in Africa and New Guinea
I was left with a fully dislocated elbow
when I was six years old, on top of this, our own family situation as children
was terrifying at times. We must remember, mannerism's and mentalities are
created. If a person is brought up under harsh conditions, this conditioning
usually carries through, both my parents experienced harsh circumstances within
their own family as children.
My siblings still cover up abuse from the
past and present, they also act out a certain amount of neglect onto other
family members. Being an advocate against bullying and abuse, you could imagine
how my family have responded to me and my openness and disapproval of bullying
and abuse.
My grandmother had a beautiful well
balanced mannerism and mentality. My grandmother is one of my guides, now
consider this. As children, we can often take on our parent's persona, is it
not possible to also take on our guides persona? Considering that we are more
alive after our demise, it is quite feasible that one can take on a guide's persona,
especially if the guide is close and protective to the person they are guiding.
My grandmother didn't like people being
abused either however unlike me, her ability to put a stop to abuse was very
limited in physical life, this however is different in her present existence.
My grandmother often works through me, maybe too tenaciously at times, it's
like she is making up for what she couldn't do in physical life through me.
The neglect and abuse my grandmother and I
experienced in our own physical lives, made us aware and wised up to how
neglect and abuse can become hereditary, passed down from generation to
generation. We might seem a little tenacious in regards towards our disapproval
of abuse but at least the abuse stopped with us.
My grandmother loves what I am doing,
trying to guide people through awareness and openness brought about my own and
my grandmother's life experiences. It's not easy being open and honest with
ourselves in regard to ourselves. There are many people who are bullying that
have no idea they are bullying. Abuse is simular when just of a form of
bullying/controlling, but when it becomes more aggressive and violent, it's
very unlikely a person expressing these actions don't know they are being
violently abusive.
My grandmother also likes me guiding people
who are into spirituality to be less judgmental of the negatives and positives
in the world, be more moderate in our mentality in regards to the world and not
become too harsh in our judgment of it. Avoid disdain at all cost; simply view
the world or human consciousness as an abused animal that has been lost and
neglected for sometime.
Can we take on the thoughts, feelings and
persona of our guides? In my mind, most definitely. I didn't morn my mother demise
because I new that my mother is far more alive and happier in her demise than
in physical life, how could I be mournful, I couldn't be happier for my mother.
The point is, any entity that is more alive and happier in their demise is
likely to be a great influence to the people they guide, especially if the
guided have a liberal or moderate and open mentality and persona.
