Can You Annoy Your Spiritual Guidance?
"Is it possible to bother or
annoy spiritual guidance by asking too many questions?"
This straightforward question was recently posed and evidently is
believed by some people. By no means is this a silly query. In fact, I
praise the courage that it took to challenge its validity. It does
however cause me to chuckle ever so slightly.
Categorically, the answer is simply "No!"
It is impractical to assume that the spiritual realm is only comprised
of a handful of guides or angels and that by asking too many questions
it may create work overload for spirit or take valuable query time away
from another person. Expand your horizon by realizing that spiritual
guidance contains a vast conglomerate of energy beings too numerous for
humans to envision or comprehend. When you ask a question the answer
doesn't necessarily come from one particular spirit guide, although some
will emphatically attest to this possibility. Instead, it may be a joint
spiritual effort and as long as you resonate to the information and
positively benefit from its guidance, why fret about it.
The spiritual realm does not track how many questions you ask – there
are no quantity restrictions and there are no time limits. Spirit has
unlimited insight that it desires to teach and share with those who seek
the truth. It is never an imposition to ask for spiritual guidance as
long as your intention is pure and loving. What is more important is the
quality of your question and the underlying motive for asking.
Asking silly, nonsensical, ego-driven and material-gain questions or
playing "testing" games in which you seek "proof" for spirit's existence
should be avoided. Bear in mind that this is radically different than
providing "proof of evidence" during a mediumship reading or developing
channelling abilities through exercises and rehearsals. Also, avoid
expectations for receiving step-by-step "show-me-how-to-do-it-next" type
answers. It is more fruitful to ask how you can become a clear and
truthful channel for spirit or how you can become an enlightened servant
for universal good. Fundamentally, ask what the universe wants of
you, not what you want from the universe.
Essentially, the spiritual realm will wholeheartedly help you to grow
into a more positive, loving and caring individual who becomes grounded
and empowered to live with self-esteem, self-awareness and integrity. But spiritual guidance is
most beneficial when it is utilized to receive
universal inspirations, higher knowledge or deeper wisdom that will
provide greater awareness or understanding towards elevating the
consciousness level of humanity and the universal whole.
Some receive advanced guidance through writing inspirational and
spiritual books, articles or poetry, while others may receive this
through artistic endeavours such as painting, drawing, singing, musical
composition, dancing, sculpting, designing, gardening, inventions,
photography, healing or teaching. Still others may choose to use
spiritual guidance through channelling/mediumship states, in order to
bring closure to those suffering from personal loss or tragedy and who
are unable or who have no desire to link to spirit themselves.
According to universal law, the spiritual realm complies with
non-interference and therefore respects your free will. As a result, it
is up to you to request its assistance through asking questions. However, it is prudent to remember the vital importance for developing
independent thought, as well as building faith and trust in your own
innate abilities. For example, whenever you encounter difficulty, you
should first try to resolve the dilemma using your own instinctive
resources, as well as learned knowledge, rather than totally relying on
spiritual guidance. In other words, resist the temptation for
immediately throwing your hands into the air and expecting spiritual
guidance to bail you out. This attitude and reaction only creates a
"needy and helpless" co-dependent relationship with spirit, which is not only unhealthy, but
it is also unnecessary.
Consider the fact that you are a spiritual energy entity living and
experiencing a human existence. Your soul not only wants, but needs to
learn lessons and acquire knowledge through experiences in order to
raise its consciousness level to a higher, purer energy vibration. Existing within your human shell is your eternal soul or spirit, which
is forever connected to a greater universal spiritual consciousness,
also identified as God consciousness. Indeed, many are unaware of this
connection. It seems rather ironic that as humans we spend most of our
life "awakening" to our soul selves and then we
painstakingly try to figure out how to reconnect to our spiritual
source.
Undeniably, there are many different paths leading to universal
consciousness, so part of the learning process is to discover and
establish what truly works for you. This entails a personal
journey, which can be a very arduous undertaking to which many opt out.
Some cite that with hectic schedules it leaves little spare time to
dedicate to practice or they have difficulty committing to discipline.
Others are unwilling to surrender their tight hold for maintaining
"control" in their life. Still, others become disenchanted or
frightened and would rather stay in their comfort zone. Consequently, it is
necessary to put aside conditioned thinking
patterns, release fear and control, as well as remain free from fixed
expectations or directives that are steeped in fear, superstition and overly
excessive rituals. Instead, take positive right action by just staying
open to receive and then have the strength of conviction to listen. Observe with inner clarity, remain open to change, become a humble and
willing universal servant, develop awareness to the immediate present,
use truthful discernment and be grateful for all blessings received no
matter how insignificant they may seem.
When you feel an unswerving passion to follow a certain direction, even
though it seems ludicrous, be assured that your soul, as well as your spiritual
guidance and the universal consciousness are attuned to one another and
are working in unison to enhance your soul's purpose and greater good.
In order to re-establish your spiritual link to the universal higher
consciousness, it is necessary to develop your inborn psychic abilities. Most often these are termed as
clairvoyance (clear seeing),
clairaudience (clear hearing), clairsentience (clear feeling or
sensing), claircognizance (clear knowing), clairambience or
clairgustus
(clear tasting) and clairalience or clairaroma (clear smelling).
It is through these inborn inner senses that the "higher self" part of
your soul communicates to the universal consciousness, and visa-versa,
to translate received symbology into useful, comprehensible information. Naturally, this is easier said than done. It takes
extreme dedication, patience,
perseverance, hard work, trust, faith and much time for its full
development, but thankfully you also have assistance through your
spiritual guidance team (E.g. spirit guides, angels, ascended masters,
Divine Source, God, etc.), who are always willingly available. Be aware
that without becoming a clear channel, it is difficult to translate
spiritual guidance accurately, thus leaving room for misinterpretation
or possibly missing assistance completely.
As an energy being, you have a direct spiritual connection to everything
that exists, whether it is animate or inanimate. You and your
surroundings are part of the universal consciousness and it is this
state of realization that you strive to find and return to. In
reality, the more that you connect and communicate to the spiritual
realm, the closer you become.
With this in mind, why would you become bothersome to the universal
spiritual consciousness that not only observes your soul's progress, but
eagerly anticipates its return to the whole? Your spiritual guidance is
only too happy to assist with your soul's positive growth, development
and homecoming. So….go for it; feel free to ask abundant questions, but
remember to be mindful for how and what you ask for.
As a final recommendation, consider offering a daily prayer of thanks
and gratitude that encompasses your soul, your spiritual guidance and
the universal consciousness. The spiritual realm is not only available
to limitless questions, but it is also open to boundless humility.
