Recognizing Your Guides

There are so many places that guides come from that they appear to be infinite.  You might find it useful to classify guides into those who have been incarnated on the earth and have lived at least one earth life; those who have not lived an earth life and are from dimensions outside the galaxy and stars, such as the fourth dimension; the Masters, guardian angels and entities from other galaxies and planets.  There are other guides that do not fit into these categories. 
 
Many high level guides are nearly pure energy, having evolved into spirit and taken on a shimmer of light.  Some could be called "beings of light" because they work in the spectrum of light and use the language of light, transmitting thought impulses directly into the souls of those who have given their permission and with whom they work.
 

Not all entities from the higher realms choose to be guides, just as not all of you choose to be channels.  Work on the other planes of reality is as varied as your work can be on earth.  Guides are certain beings who are highly skilled at transmitting energy from their dimension into yours.  It takes an enormous amount of energy from our plane to reach through to yours, and it is done most often out of pure love of humanity and devotion to transmitting higher ideals.  As you reach the higher realms, altruistic service to others is a path of rapid evolution.   They pick you because of an alignment of goals and because they love you.

Don't think that once you channel you must be able to do everything.  Guides pick you because you are most aligned with what they want to bring to earth.  So most likely, what you have been wanting to do or are already doing with your life will continue to be developed with the help of your guide.
