This of course, depends on the individual consciousness or soul, including as one of the main factors influencing the nature of its activities, it's own level of evolution and state of consciousness at any given time. For the guides & helpers then, the following reply from Hilarion, when asked a similar question once during a channeling, shares some light (and love) onto a deeper understanding of this matter (ie. Ryan's question) :

( From the Summer Solstice 2002 channeling :

Q : Does Hilarion work with Kryon? And what does Hilarion do when he is not being channeled?
 
Hilarion: Yes, there is much that all of the guides and helpers do together. All of us in our own ways will interact and it is of great joy that we can do this with various beings that we are channeling through simultaneously, hence the great joy felt by many in what is called a channeled panel. However, in regards to what we do on our "days off", well you know we haven't had any since about 1963, and this is simply because vacations are only granted every few thousand years.
 
Recognizing this degree of patience necessary, you may find that in your own life, all of it can be seen as a time off. What would you rather be doing? And this is really how we see it. For if there was something that we would rather be doing, then that's what we would do. Specifically it does appear that many times when we are not moving through one being or another, we have opportunities to share energies by channeling in non-verbal ways, sharing energies in so many different ways to inspire and assist: engineers, scientists, astrologers, artists; there are a lot of you on the planet and plenty to keep us all busy. But at the same time as this, sometimes it is necessary to withdraw from all of these activities simply to act as focalizers of energy, perhaps in a particular sacred spot or an energy poured into the Earth for some particular issue of political or economic importance. However, those times do not necessarily require any specific being, simply the idea of lots of energy all at once to come to a particular site or a particular time.
 
In addition to all of those activities, there is the opportunity to share a beautiful, wonderful human sense of joy, the exuberance of life itself, the willingness just to experience that. It is this which we must share from time to time simply because we choose not to be in a physical body. You see it is one of the great attractions for coming to this planet, to get yourself into a body, because then you really feel that. You see your existence, when you are non-physical, does not have this quality of the touching, of the loving, of the kinesthetic, nor of the suffering, of the dramatic struggle. Those things that really get your attention. And so at times, it is simply a matter of blending with those energies. It is as if to be one with them, to receive them, and to know them from all levels, from the Earth, from the Sun, from those powerful cosmic levels as much as from sharing with any of the beings of life, dancing in the joy and the exuberance and the understanding on your planet.
 
These are places that you know also, because many of you project your consciousness when you sleep. You don't always remember it, but sometimes you wake up refreshed. It is not just because you have quieted the body; it is also because there is a receiving of this cosmic energy, of movement through this cosmic dance. And so we suggest for you tonight a little exercise as you fall asleep - think of this place, of joining with Earth's joy, joining with the joy of the plants and the animals, and the Sun. And as you feel these positive, loving energies, have that sense of the joy, as if it is awakening a receptivity of greater joy in your own being. You may find yourself often times, refreshed by this when you awaken in the morning. Sometimes you will be exhausted because the joy led you to all kinds of activities in which your projected self had, well, shall we say, too much fun. But by and large this opportunity to receive joy is that which can be multiplied and strengthened within you for your own health, your own strength, and your own improvement of the physical body. Many times it is the rejection of this joy, the unwillingness to experience this at the deep most level that leads you to so many physical problems. You cannot imagine how frustrating this is, especially for your blind guides when they look at you and they say, "Look you have it. You're in the body. You have the opportunity to feel this and know it so deeply, and yet you reject it. Yet you do not allow yourself to accept it." So listen to them now, especially your helpers, but all of your guides, as if saying to you, "You are loved." Simply to feel this is the nature of your being, is the nature of your universe. You are loved. Further question?

I'm going to get some sleep.  But actually then I won't need any.  Since spirits don't sleep, it must be really boring for ghosts waiting for physical people to wake up.  No wonder they go bump in the night.... get the party started. 

Actually "doing" things is probably a lot different, because all the 3D is gone and material objects aren't of much interest, there's no pain, etc.  Of course, as the saying goes "no pain, no gain."  I think that's why we come here to the physical - it's fun to have things to do and we can feel sensations.  I started my spring/summer running program the other day and my legs were in excruciating pain the first time.  I thought, hmmm, I should enjoy this sensation rather than complain about it because after I'm dead, either way I won't be able to feel it anymore.  Running won't be any fun because I can just fly around at warp speed.  It made me think about just how "physical" I am, and how I don't really need to focus on being anything else, because I can't understand it anyway.  I don't want to waste this roller coaster ride by wishing I was on the ground eating a corn dog.  Once I'm in the spirit world, I'll probably miss sensations and come back for another round (after I get some sleep).  that's my final answer.  ah heck I don't know.

LightR_on, could you please provide a link to the silver birch channelings?

Thanks.
Love, Mairlyn
