Most of us have them, that spitit that protects and helps us. Some are of the more shamanistic type that have animals, some have angels and gods and all that. These beings are of great aid and help us to grow, so give that spirit a plug would you? What is your spirit guide/guardian?

Geez. Yeah, I've got my share of guardian spirits/guides/whatnot. I honestly don't feel comfortable sharing details tho. Feels like I'm giving out my pin number.

Sorry.



Great post, eh?

it started out as a separate entity, human as far as i could tell. then i started talking to it and it told me things. finally it gave me its name. it was almost like i didn't believe it or trust it until i knew its name. so then i had this mental picture of me versus other named thing. i began to recognize the name as evidence of it telling me things, so it more or less shed its original humanoid form to become sort of an alphanumeric code, or pattern. but it was still an it, separate from myself. i don't know what happened next, but now i know it is me. not only me but the me that i cannot see, the everything else that is not specifically me yet that which i'm still connected to. it sort of bridges the gap between me and everything else.

but to answer the question i think all the forms still operate concurrently. it can be symbolic and it can still be the voice in my head. it can be an angel or animals or numbers or text, depending on what is appropiate at the time for me/it. it can be there when i need it and not be there at all for stretches of time. so even though i see it as an extension of myself, it still makes sense and is sometimes more comfortable to be communicating with something else.

ok Salamander are you going to share or are you just trying to steal pin numbers?

i've always known when i was a small child that i don't really have a specific animal/angel/guarding spirit (Now i'm not so sure) because i was raised Christian & i just never felt any spirits around me.

That was actually confirmed by a psychic i saw when i was 20. i went with 2 friends, we were waiting for a movie to start. So we went to a psychic at a mall...

My friend went first. The psychic told her that she had a Chinese mandarin as her guardian. Possibly an ancestor. i thought the psychic was making shit up.

Then it was my turn. She read my palm, laughed & said that i have GOT TO forget all my past lives. O_o (i have lods of deep lines... means i think too much, or i haven't released my past selves' memories etc...)
So then i was gonna be like, all dismissive if she said anything about a guardian spirit around me. She said nothing about it.

Then my inquisitive friend asked the her, "Does Johannes have a guardian angel?" The psychic looked at me, then said, "No. He connects directly to the source of the universe, the Origin. He doesn't need a mediator."

i was quite impressed. i KNEW i had a personal connection to God (whatever you want to call God... sometimes the simplicity of Christianity's FAITH-based theory works, just like that). And at that time, i had silver-blue hair, & i wasn't wearing crucifixes of any sort (basically i didn't look very "Christian")

Anyway, i just turned 29 last month (although i only feel like i'm 26) & i had a dream, where i think i met a guardian spirit.

In my dream, my incensed mother came into my room, & screamed at me about leaving the kettle on to boil, then she pressed the HOT kettle onto my skin. i felt no burn, but i was obviously very alarmed & pissed off. (NB: mother is a very gentle soul, although she can become an annoying & anal Virgo sometimes..)
Obviously, i believe i had issues to work out with my mom, most possibly because i feel that she's hurt me with some insensitive comments about my direction in life. And in my dream, i was furious that she would do something so blatantly violent & hurtful (to her own son) so i began smashing everyhting in sight. i would never hurt a fly in reality, but my mom's violent un-mom-like actions made me realize that it was a dream, so i was lucid.

Figured, oh well, i wouldn't do any real damage to anything in here, might as well embrace the rage & have fun. i picked up this... uh.. log? and went out into the living room & smashed everything out there. Dream mom looked completely unimpressed or affected by my destructive retaliation.

i smashed the TV, plants, vases, & was going for the two pianos (only ONE piano at home in reality), but then i thought i couldn't really do any damage... so i lunged at my mom.

My conscience nudged. Even though i knew it was a dream, i thought it was very... wicked of me to bash my (dream) mom with a freakin log. So i threw down my log, & took a deep breath. My dream mom laughed.

Then she morphed into this naked WHITE GUY. With a hairy chest & an unshaven face, goatie, moustache, messy hair. He's laughing. i step up towards him. i found him quite sexually attractive, & he embraced me & we kissed.
He said something like, "You know, I love you, & you love me, but i can't blabblablah until you blahblablah!"

i immediately knew that it was no dream anymore. My dreams are in technicolour surround-sound. Suddenly it was staticky & i couldn't hear this person clearly. i was tuned in but not completely.

Psynapses fire & i'm thinking, "Is this a mom issue? Is this a DAD issue?" and i ask the sexy naked man, "Are you GOd?" He chuckled & embraced/kissed me again. i enjoy our embrace, it felt very real & physical. But my guard is up, & i ask him, "Are you a demon?" with a very serious face.

He laughs. i ask him to REPEAT what he said, coz i couldn't hear it properly. And he repeats, "I love you, & you love me, but i can't ____ until you ____." i'm like, DAMMIT, i still can't hear you clearly. i feel everything fade & slip away.

i try to anchor onto that reality, & then it was all gone. i fly around to find him (i realize that it was my astral body then) but then i woke up shortly afterwards, completely calm. With no anger towards my mother. Resolved.

But i wondered if that was a guardian angel?
a past lover?
Phoned my manager & a friend about it. They are stumped.

Any thoughts from enlightened souls on here?
