I have had Spirit Guides all my life, but I wasn't able to clearly comprehend what they were until I got into my 50's. I have had several encounters with a few who never returned. I think they "specialized" in the particular challenge I had at the time. They are still "around" but I don't call on them for help, because they already helped. But I do send telepathic "hellos" and "Thank You's" every now and then. My current spirit guide told me that I will grow on my own time line, and that there is no deadline, or foot race. I do have "dry spells' when I feel that this Earthly chaos is distracting me, and I miss the spiritual side . (think Las Vegas) I enjoy the wild ride of life, but need a sane place to land. We each struggle at times with "Spiritual vs Extreme Fun".  My Spirit Guide says to "Just listen to what you think and feel, time will take care of the conflict."  Have any of you had Spirit Guides who come in, and then go away ? (Specialists" ?)  My communications with Spirit Guides are mostly telepathic in nature.  

Thank you, Spooky2.  I wish I were better at relating what the guides tell me.  During dreams, they sound so profound, and I declare that I will "remember everything". Then I awaken, and their words put to my journal paper don't quite have the same result. If we understand essentially what they mean, that's the important part. The "higher minds" sound like they have been around a LONG time, and they don't get flustered. I am always scanning waking consciousness for such people, and I have found a few here. That's a good sign.   

It can be frustrating when messages can't be remembered. I've had experiences where I was communicating to a spirit about something important, I understood what was being discussed during the conversation, and then I can't remember any of it when the conversation is over.

I believe such occurences do have their effect eventually. Suddenly, I'll understand something, and I figure I learned about it during a communication I couldn't remember immediately afterwards.

I have had many guides, named and unnamed, since I have made the effort to hear them, and the cast of characters has changed somewhat over the years. What I used to call "Higher Self" I now call HS, which is my nickname for Highest Self or Holy Spirit or whatever. At first I called them Kuthumi, Sanat Kumara, St. Germain, Vywamus, Bartholomew or whatever. And they were.

At Guidelines I asked to be shown who my guide is/was. First they showed me a dragonfly, and I said, "That's nice, and I really like dragonflies, but please try again." Then they showed me an eagle, and I said, "That's better, and I love eagles, but please try again." And then, with a little word of what I interpreted as caution, they said, "OK, please see what is really so." And they held up a mirror. ME.

So, I guess I am saying that all of it is-- YOU, all your guides are aspects of you come back to you and which are showing you the way ahead. And in the broadest sense, all the retrievals are aspects of-- YOU. All one of us.

As I have grown, so have my guides in response to my questions and explorations, and my comprehension of PUL.

Marsu:

This is how it worked for me. Initially, while meditating, I'd see various types of detailed imagery, usually with some kind of movement taking place. For example, I see automobile races, automobile accidents, people having conversations.  I didn't understand why.

Then one night I had three very intricate dreams one right afther the other. Each dream had just the right amount of clues, so I could realize that the situation that was taking place couldn't be happening. As the third dream was coming to an end I was thinking to myself, "Wow, these dreams would make a great novel or movie" it hit me real strong! I realized that these dreams weren't created by my subconscious mind. I realized that they were created by an intelligence beyond my own.

When I woke up I was in an expanded state of consciousnes and a lot of energy was running through me. I heard a voice say, sort of in thought form, just as you found inconsistencies in your dreams, find inconsistencies in your waking state." I realized that I had made contact with my I-there (I didn't think in terms of disk, because I hadn't read Bruce Moen's books at the time).  I could hear and feel numerous beings telling me that they were very happy that I finally made contact with them.

After I had this experience, I realized that the images I saw during meditation, were attempts by my spirit guidance to make contact with me.  I found that if I asked a question, I would receive a symbolic visual answer.  At this time, I mainly receive guidance through symbolic visual images, waking dreams, and regular dreams. I also recieve thoughts.

Not everybody is going to receive guidance in the manner I receive it. Different people, need different things.

If you want to make contact, pray to God and your higher self and ask for help. If you have good intentions you should make contact with the right folks. However,  it is good to be carefull. I've had some visitacions from spirits who were up to no good.

I must add that I've gone through a lot of spirit guidance assisted energetic work that enables me to make contact without going into a very relaxed state of some kind.

If you want to go into a relaxed state, don't fight it, just try to tune into a sense of your inner self and inner peace, without trying to bring your thoughts to a halt.  It is more of a matter allowing the space so communication can take place. It is also a matter of removing the mental barriers that get in the way. After a while it will be like riding a bicycle. Once you know how to tune in correctly, you know how to tune in.
