Seeking spiritual guidance requires no effort or concentration on your part, for you just sit back, relax and listen. In a sense, everything is done for you. The harder way would be for you to obtain the guidance that you need through your own divine channel.
The Master Questions Us
I wonder why you think that you need guidance and why, in particular, that you should seek guidance through mediumship. Why should you, incarnate beings on the plane of Earth, equipped with your physical senses, living in the reality of physical life, seek guidance from a discarnate being living in a realm beyond your comprehension, far removed from the physical plane of Earth?? What is it that one such as I can give you which will help you to walk your path in life??
Perhaps you seek this form of guidance because not being in touch with your own inner voice, with your own spiritual guidance, you are grateful to be able to listen to any other source which is accessible to you. But, moreover this form of guidance requires no effort or concentration on your part.
A Responsibility
I, for my part, am very conscious of the responsibility of giving guidance, for I am responsible for what I say until the end of time. I am karmically responsible not only for what I say to you but for what you do because of it. It is essential, therefore, in any interchange between the planes of life such as this that you are aware of this responsibility.
Indeed, it is vital when you seek guidance in this way that first and foremost you establish that the spirit which is giving the guidance to you is, at the very least, the equal of yours in spiritual consciousness and, desirably, more evolved; for any guidance given to you by a less evolved spirit is worthless. How then are you to assess the vibratory note of the spirit being that gives guidance to you except by the right practice of what that spirit being says and by continually checking that guidance both with your own inner feelings and with the World around you, for what is the World around you but your Creator talking to you.
Intellect Contra Intuition
Do you not also consider it strange that you should listen to the guidance of one far removed from your plane of life and yet accept what that spirit being says without even being aware of the personality or the form of the being who speaks to you?? But such is the nature of life on Earth today, where intellect rules over intuition, that this form of guidance is sought by many who are trying to understand what is happening on this planet. You have often used this form of guidance in previous lives. For you it is an accepted form of communication, one which you have relied on in the past and will use again in the future. You accept guidance as your birthright.
Do The Work
I will begin by saying that it is essential in this form of guidance that you understand that I would never tell you what to do. I would never say that you should take a certain course of action, that you should walk along a certain path. That is not my purpose in talking to you. Any guidance which does this should be treated with utmost caution. The essence of guidance is that it helps you to reach your own decisions, not that you accept its decisions and implement them in blind trust. That is not guidance.
If I take away your choice, if I remove your lessons in life, the obstacles which you face on your evolutionary path, then I am removing your learning experiences and no good will come from that. I seek to guide you. I seek to teach you. I seek to help you to evolve your point of consciousness. But you must do the work; I cannot do it for you. I am simply the spark that awakens within your own consciousness what you already know to be true.
The Personality´s Illusion
But why do people seek guidance?? For some it is the path of laziness. How easy it is to ask someone else to solve your problems and to have them tell you how, or when, to do something rather than you discovering for yourself. When one has lived for a long time in the illusion of one´s personality, denying the wisdom of one´s soul, one comes to a point in time when one is truly lost, when one has walked so far along that path of illusion that one can no longer see the reality of life around one. Only at that time does one acknowledge that something is wrong and seek help. But you have to face the karmic responsibility for being in that situation, a situation of your own causing. That learning experience is vital to the soul. To remove that lesson is to destroy the very purpose of the soul being here on the plane of Earth.
