THE ASTRAL PLANE

The Universe is Vibrant and Alive and much Richer than we ever could imagined

Visualize the Universe as an Enormous Pulsating Mind

That reverberates with many different Ideas and creative Expressions of itself

These different ideas are called Beings & Entities

Each with its own unique quality and textures

The many beings of the Universe live in different Dimensions of Experience

Each with its own distinct qualities

13 Planes of Consciousness

(some believe there are even more planes)

Some believe that there are 13 Planes of Consciousness (some believe even more) on the Astral Plane, some demonic and others Angelic

Most mediums, seem to channel the Angelic Past of the Astral

Contact with the Astral Plane offers a greatly broadened perspective, the Universe expands right before your very eyes

Through the help of our Spirit Guides, the Astral will be able to provide you with personal information and guidance

Understanding of your personal motivations, and analysis of your personality, is open to you, your weaknesses may be corrected from the Astral

OUR SPIRITS SURVIVE DEATH

Almost every religion on Earth accepts the fact that our spirits survive death

Spirtis exists and we can communicate with them. We do all the time, whether we are aware of it or not. The truth is we are nerver alone. You are alway surrounded by Spirit Guides, Angels, Departed Loved ones and God Himself. Every moment of our lives, we are surrounded by our support group from The Other Side who knows, loves and understands us, beter than we know, love understands ourselves

Your 'Eternal Home' and family are real

You left your 'Home' to come to this hard work called 'life'

When your work is over, you will find that same 'Home and family' waiting right where you left them, so safe and happy to see you - that you will wonder what gave you the bright idea to leave them in the first place

If you go through life feeling a bit homesick, no matter where you were, it is because your 'soul' are remembering and yearning for a place where we all have been before

WHAT IS A SPIRIT GUIDE ?

It is said that everyone of us has a Spirit Guide or Guides

This is someone we were very close to and literally trusted with our soul on the 'Other Side', who agreed to be our constant, vigilant companion and helpmate when we made the choice to experience another 'lifetime on Earth'

Our Spirit Guides are the best friends we have ever had, they just happen to live in another "dimension"

It is said that all Spirit Guides have spend at least one life here on Earth, so they are able to empathize with the problems, mistakes, temptations, fears and frailties inevitable in the human world

In fact, most of us either have been or will be somebody else's Spirit Guide somewhere along the way

On some occasion your Spirit Guide could be an ancestor or someone you've shared a past life with

But because your relationship with your "Guide" was formed between your spirit and theirs on the 'Other Side' before you were born, it is impossible for them to be someone you've known in this lifetime

Some are non-incarnated beings, who follow another evolutionary process

They exist all through the Universe and interact with us by choice.

Highly intellectual, they channel useful information and principles to us. Guides are often 'Specialists' in various fields - science, medicine, chemistry, philosophy

All are willing to SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE

And all TEACH UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!!!

Other guides were created rather than born, and are not connected with any form of evolution - they have had no lessons of any kind. They consist of complex energy and consciousness.

These are the Angelic Beings - the Archangels, Angels, Cherubim and Seraphim

**see Angels**

HOW DO THEY LOOK ?

It is believed that Spirit Guides are multi-dimensional beings, though when they appear to us, they appear in a familiar human form. They do not eat, sleep or feel physical pain. Some have completed the path of human evolution and bring to us the wisdom learned through many past lives. They no longer need a physical body, as they have no more to learn from human lives

Occasionally, Spirit Guides are able to condense their energies and appear in the form of light - you see their Auras and at other times, they are able to condense those energies still futher, and appear in physical form, though they can do this only briefly. Sensitive Psychics, with artistic abilities, are able to sketch Spirit Guide portraits for their clients

Guides can vary from American Indians, Atlanteans, beings from other planets, Angelic Beings, Nature Spirits, Great Leaders of Past Eras, Ancient Chinese Masters, Egyptian Priests & Priestesses and many many more

WHERE DO THEY EXIST ?

Although Spirit Guides are said to be reluctant to share this information with us, it is said that Guides who have recently left the human evolutionary path, describe their world as similar to ours and that the greatest difference between their dimension and ours is, that theirs is not materially bound and generally more refind than ours

Beings appear to exist in social groupings or relationships, devoting their 'collective' efforts to teaching the human race for its spiritual growth

'Thoughts' are all important, they can create or destroy by mere a thought and even change their appearance or surroundings in this way

Spirit Guides are linked telepathically, which explains how the many guides that have been channeled, knew of one other and acknowledge each other

SOME GUIDES ARE FROM

OTHER PLANETARY SYSTEMS

Have described their worlds as planets that are many light-years away from Earth

Some of these beings communicates telepathically and has obviously advanced much further technologically and spiritually than we on Earth have

Some worlds resemble our planet in that it has air, water, & plants and animals

Their animals differ from ours in that they can communicate telepathically with them

and unlike our animals theirs do not fight with one another to secure and maintain territory

All creatures share their world peacefully and harmoniously

Some people who have had contact with Angels or Light Beings reported hearing beautiful music and seeing vibrant colours. From these accounts we know that these Beings do not presumably live in civilizations or cultures, at least as we understand those words

WHAT IS THEIR PURPOSE ?

It is said that Guides primarily come to work with us in two different ways

Through pre-incarnational agreements

Or in response to our conscious request

It is said that when we are physically born, we enter this incarnation with certain intentions and purposes

To accomplish these goals we may make an agreement to work with certain guides during the course of our lifetime

It is indicated that they receive two main benefits from working with humans

1. The pleasure and Joy of Serving

2. and the Expansion of their own Understanding and Knowledge

These agreements are based on the guide's needs and goals as well as ours

The Spirit Guide's job is to urge, nudge, encourage, advise, support and as the title suggests - guide us on our life's path

Firstly they have the closest possible bond with our spirits- the very essence of who we are

They have also studied and memorized our 'life's blueprints'

We unfortunately lose conscious awareness of our 'blueprint' during our time on Earth and tend to wonder off from our intended plans

Our Spirit Guides help us to get back on track again

Their vantage point on the 'Other Side' gives them direct access to God's divine knowledge and they also enjoy every spirit's enviable ability to be in several places at once

Although they watch our every move, they concern themselves with our spirits and only spirits. Our various most private bodily functions are not their concern

SPIRIT GUIDES WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH OUR FREE WILL

Spirit Guides also won't leap in to interfere with the choices we make or deprive us of our free will. At best they will offer possible alternatives and warnings. Our agreement with them from the beginning is, that we are here to learn and to grow and they know we cannot accomplish that if they are constantly shielding us from the lessons we need to learn

HOW DO SPIRIT GUIDES COMMUNICATE WITH US ?

Spirit Guides communicates with us in a variety of ways, if we'll just be quiet and listen to them. Some people can actually hear their Spirit Guides talking to them, but don't feel disadvantaged if your Spirit Guide doesn't seem to have an audible voice. They are still sending you plenty of messages, most often through your subconscious mind. What you have always accepted a instincts, or your conscience, or unusually vivid dreams are more likely your Spirit Guide waving flags. These experiences are common. You could for no reason drive a different route than usual and find out later you avoided an accident, or on impulse you call a friend, only to discover they needed your help at that moment. You go to sleep with a problem and wake up knowing the solution. Anything you've written off to 'something' told me - change that to 'someone' told me to. You're receiving your Spirit Guides signals, and acting on them

MAKE CONTACT WITH YOUR SPIRIT GUIDE

Through the help of Spirit Guides on the Astral Plane, you will be guided carefully towards your own truth, creativity and self expression. Guides show us ourselves as multi-dimensional beings, all you need to know is how to get in touch with your Guide

As for signals to your Spirit Guide, you can and should ask for help, advice and reassurance as often as you feel the need, but be specific. Our Spirit Guides know our 'blueprints', but those prints hardly contain every momentary fear we will ever have. Your Spirit Guide is available twenty-four hours a day to join God as one of your greatest allies, if you'll just skip the generalities and tell exactly what you need

You may be reluctant, wait until you feel that the right time has come. Whether you tune in to them consciously or not, they are there. Realise that a relationship of love, peace and total trust develops between you and your Guide. Guides will never and can never harm you in any way. Nor would they advise you to go forward with anything they knew would not be in your own interest. They will increase your power and self expression, and you will find it easy to incorporate their teachings into your daily life

Talk to your Spirit Guide, even if you might not know who it is. Remember that they have been human at least once before and that they are well aware that our memories of them and our lives on The Other Side are virtually non-existent. They do not expect us to remember them

If you haven't been introduced to your's or if a psychic or medium has not identified them for you, make up a name and call them that, this will make them more personal for you. Your Spirit Guide will happilly answer to any name you come up for them and be very happy that you finally acknowledge and embrace them. Their love for us is eternal and unconditional

ENCOUNTERING SKEPTICISM,DOUBTS & RESISTANCE

The word skeptical is derived from the Skeptos Society, which existed during the Golden Age of Greece. This society dedicated itself to looking at all sides of an issue in a challenging, disbelieving manner. They refused to honor any assumptions or prejudices. Understood in this sense, skepticism is healthy. It keeps you looking for the truth in any situation and prevents you from being lulled into unquestioning prejudice. Reading about Spirit Guides, you might find yourself experiencing various degrees of skepticism. You might wonder how sane people could have slipped could have slipped into such delusion or question how such deluded people could still be considered sane

The most effective and pertinent response that can be made to this kind of skepticism is to

1. Try it for yourself and form your own opinion based on what you experience

2. Read bookds of channeled material and see if the wisdom they offer, coincides with your own deep sense of truth

3.Go to see a professional Channel and use your own knowledge and discernment to assess his or her authenticity

4. And most important, when you feel ready, try to develop this skill yourself - then make a judgement based on your own honest explortion of the experience
