Your Twin Flames or Higher Soul Mates, which some believe are the other half of you, may also decide to remain in the higher dimensions and act as guides to you, throughout your present incarnation. In this way they may help you with spiritual knowledge and guidance, without distracting you from your spiritual path, by being present in physical form.

Many Teacher Guides will come to you, for short periods in your life, to educate you about certain aspects of your physical or spiritual journey. There are Teacher Guides who specialise in Art, Music, Dance, Mathematics, Healing etc. and are always available for higher inspirational help, as all Guides have access to the Akashic Records and the Universal Consciousness.

Call upon them to help you with specific and complicated tasks. For example: if you need to fill out your Tax Return papers, ask for an Accountant Teacher Guide, to help you work intuitively, with the task. If you are involved in creative artwork such as painting, ask a Spirit Guide to come and help to inspire you. Who knows you may have Picasso or Michelangelo turn up to inspire you.

The Masters are also Spirit Guides that can come to you with advice and guidance. Again, remember these Ascended Masters are always willing to help you. Do not feel that they are somehow too saintly to deal with your everyday issues. Your worries are important to them.

Kwan Yin is a specialist in healing matters, Mother Mary is feminine and loving, like a Mother and Sananda (Higher Self Name of Jesus) is compassionate and wise. Practise asking them to come to you and feel their loving warmth. (Use Exercise One to achieve this, after first establishing contact with your own Personal Guides.) Remember these Masters are non-denominational. They also help Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus.

On the Lower aspects of the Fourth Dimensional Planes are the unevolved, less spiritual beings who often attempt to contact humanity for their own selfish purposes. Some of these beings may attempt to manipulate and frighten you, although their initial contact may appear friendly. These lower astral spirits have been known throughout history as poltergeists, ghosts, shades, spectres, etc. When they are around, you will normally feel cold, apprehensive, often nauseous or smell a rancid aroma.

It is important when attempting spiritual work, to fully protect yourself. Ouija board gatherings and unprotected séances will often bring in these unevolved lower astral beings. We advise you never to participate in any unprotected psychic gathering. However, if you do have any problems with the lower astrals, call on the Masters and Archangels, particularly Archangel Michael, to send them away. People of different religions can call upon their own cultural or religious guardian figures. However, please remember that the Masters and Archangels are non denominational. They will help everyone.

It is essential when you are contacting Spirit that you Always use a complete protection technique for your own safety. Refer to lesson six.

Remember: Your Spirit Guides; guide you. They never command or demand. You have absolute free-will to live your life, as you please. This is one of the purposes of incarnation on planet Earth, it is a Freewill planet. A loving Guide will help and occasionally nudge you to better behaviour, but never tell you how to live your life.

If a Guide appears to be telling you to do certain things and you are not happy about it, send the guide away. You always have the power to do so and the Higher Guides are never offended by this action. If you ever feel frightened; call in your Own Guides and Archangel Michael (or other appropriate religious guardian) to send these entities away and they will soon be gone.

Put yourself into a meditative state and draw a picture of your Personal Spirit Guides to remind you of how they look today. Place this picture somewhere prominent in your bedroom, to remind you of your Spirit Guide contact.

We advise you to make the initial contact with your Guides when you are in a calm, relaxed state and try to contact them, at least several times a week. Often when a person becomes upset or under stress, they find the contact difficult to make. This is when you need to be able to relax yourself thoroughly and protect yourself, then reattempt contact.

Remember: when you are upset, you separate yourself from Spirit, they do not separate themselves from you.
