The Surprising Thing Spirit Guides Really Want to Teach You

Spirit operates in mysterious ways, frequently defying our beliefs. So how do we make sense of that? We start by trying to understand Spirit from their point of view. Not from fear. Not from hierarchy. But from Truth.

When we work with Spirit, we’re not submitting to authority; we connect to the highest level of consciousness available to us. We are awakening. We are expanding. We are stepping into who we really are.

Working with Spirit means letting go. Letting go of what you thought “should” be. Letting go of inherited ideas. Letting go of control.

Soul evolution does not happen when we cling tightly to outdated paradigms. It happens when we are willing to see things as they actually are, not just how we wish they were.

I teach spirituality, but what I truly specialize in is helping people work with Spirit Guides. One reason I began this work is simple. I wanted to know the secrets of the universe by accessing divine wisdom. I wanted to understand everything from esoteric truths to the evolution of human consciousness.

Deep in my bones, I knew that if I could communicate with my Guides, I could access that knowledge. And I was right. Kind of.

When I started asking my Guides questions, I noticed something interesting. Sometimes they answered, and sometimes they didn’t. Especially for questions about the future. That used to frustrate me until I realized a deeper truth.

Spirit’s entire mission is to empower us. Not to fix us. Not to command us. But to help us grow. Their guidance is not there to make us dependent. It is there to remind us of our own strength.

Spirit Guides offer healing, insight, and clarity, but only in ways that uplift us, stretch our perspective, or help us align more fully with our soul’s truth.

And here is what that means in real life. You are in charge of your life. Not Spirit. Not God. Not angels.

Yes, you can receive help and guidance. But Spirit will not run your life for you. Giving up your power is the opposite of growth. That is the deeper meaning behind spiritual empowerment.

Many people come to spirituality believing they are “answering a calling.” But after decades of working with Spirit, I can tell you something important. There is no calling. Spirit does not select a chosen few. They do not crown prophets. They do not tell you that you are “the one.”

You choose this path, then Spirit simply meets you where you are.

We often have such a backwards view of spirituality that it ends up disempowering us. People believe Spirit is their boss. They believe God is counting their every sin. They believe angels will dictate their choices.

But that is not how Spirit works. Spirit Guides, Angels, Gods, and Goddesses are not here to control you. They are here to assist you. To walk beside you. To lift you up when you forget who you are.

Through religious conditioning, we learned divine beings should tell us what to do, how to act, and how to live. That belief is a real problem. It strips us of the very things we were born with: agency, desire, and free will.

Therefore, people often ask, “If God is real, why is the world the way it is?” The answer is that we are the creators of how we live on Earth, not God.

Children are starving not because of divine failure, but because we have created systems that allow that to happen. But just as we created those systems, we can change them. We can build something better. And Spirit will help us do it.

Spirit Guides are with us to co-create heaven on Earth. But we must ask. We must take part. Do not wait for divine permission to be who we already are.

Even if you do not believe in God, you still have beliefs about what God is, what Spirit is, and about who has authority over your life.

If you want to grow spiritually, you need to examine those beliefs. Ask yourself: Do I think Spirit controls me? Do I feel powerless in my life? Do I believe in fate more than freedom?

Those quiet little assumptions often block the deep connection you are seeking. You don’t have to change them, but simply being aware of them will help you navigate overcoming them.

I have met so many kind, spiritual people who still feel like they have no power. No choice. No agency. They are waiting. Waiting for destiny to show up. Waiting for Spirit to give them a purpose. Waiting to see what their calling is.

But here is the Truth. Your calling is something you decide. You are the voice of Spirit, made manifest in a human life.

So, what is Spirit actually here to do? Spirit is here to help you become the highest and truest version of yourself. They are here to guide, not to govern. To partner with you, not overpower you. To reflect your own light, not dim or control it.

Every step of the way, they are whispering the same Truth. You have the power to choose. You have the power to create. You have the power to change the world.

Your empowerment is sacred to Spirit Guides. It is what will change the Earth into the place we all know it can become. Take them as your partners in life and then ask them for help as you follow your heart; you cannot go wrong.

Your Divinity Brings Heaven to Earth

As Above So Below, The Gifts of Heaven are the Birthright of Humanity

We need not be religious or spiritual; we need not believe in God, and we need not be without sin to receive the gifts that bless this world.

Creativity, Grace, Truth and Love are available to us all, just as is life itself. The idea of Heaven on Earth has been a faraway dream. It has only been a promise made in prophecy, or a wish of our spiritual teachers and ministers, with no hope of seeing it in our lifetimes.

But we already have the gifts of Heaven on Earth. We need only learn how to incorporate them into our reality and have the desire to do so.

There are four primary aspects of divinity, or Heaven, that we can work with to have the life we desire.

The first divine aspect is Creation. The Divine Being, the power that rules the Heavens, created All That Is. A non-physical consciousness created all the physical world, whatever you believe that to be. Creation is not only the power of divinity to create life, but a gift from heaven given to humanity. To live is to create. With every breath, we create our world. Our world reflects our beliefs, our soul’s desires, and our wishes. For those who love to make new things, art, inventions, cooking and such, the act of creation is a feeling of connection with Spirit and our soul. It feels great to create because it is a natural expression of our own divine nature.

Through creativity, we are bringing Heaven to Earth and incorporating the power of divinity.

The second divine aspect is Truth. In the heavenly realms, there is no illusion. Illusion creates fear, anxiety, worry and so on. Illusion clouds our senses and obstructs the Truth from coming to light. When a sensitive person is being lied to, they will feel confused, and it is hard to see past that feeling of confusion. This makes manipulation effective.

Confusion is like a blockade to getting to what is real. The psychically attuned can feel frustrated by this but still not be able to see through the chaos of confusion. Lies are the tool of those seeking power over others and can be a destructive force for the world. But once the Truth comes to light, we feel relief, even it if its painful relief, and healing can begin. The Truth always heals. Seek the Truth and you will find healing.

Spirit has taught me that to know the Truth one must speak the truth. I have found this to be the easiest way to get more insight into the world around me. By always speaking the truth, I can get to know the Truth of my personal life and universal Truths that guide us all.

But there are two caveats to this simple practice. One is that not all truths need to be shared with the world. We must hold Truth to be sacred and trust that it will become revealed to others when the time is right.

Learning things others don’t know is for personal benefit. We will receive guidance to share knowledge when it benefits others. Until then, hold the Truth as a sacred honor and keep it private.

Honor the Truth and more will become known to you.

The second caveat is that when lying is for protection, it will not influence your ability to know the Truth. People often lie to protect themselves from harm or dangerous situations. If you lied about something, ask yourself why you did it. Then examine your reasons to see if it is for protection, and make sure it is not for manipulation or another reason.

Be very clear and self-aware about your reasons for lying.

The third divine aspect is Love. When love is present in what we do, what we manifest and what we wish for, then it is life-affirming and will bring happiness. Love powers the motor that keeps the world turning. Doing things for reasons other than love can create a toxic or destructive existence. For example, ask yourself why you are doing what you are doing. You can start with big questions like why you chose the profession you chose, or why you married the person you married.

These questions can help you see your intentions and then you can reflect on how it turned out for you. Sometimes people can fool themselves into believing they are marrying for love when in fact they are marrying for status, convenience or because they think they are doing the right thing. It can be not until the marriage is over that they see the real reason they did it. If it is a reason that is other than Love, then that could be the reason the union was on a destructive path.

Before you make a life-changing decision, ask yourself if it really is because you would love to do it, and for no other reason. If you seek to be an artist because you love creative expression, it will bless your life in extraordinary ways. But if you seek to be an artist because you want recognition, fame or status, then it will be detrimental to your well-being and your life.

Be aware of why you are doing what you are doing so that you make choices based on Love.

The final divine aspect I will add here is Grace. Grace is a power that exalts all who practice it. Grace brings peace and harmony to the world, but it is a mysterious energy. From the perspective of the Heavens, it means that punishment does not exist. There is no karma outside the physical realms. There is only Grace. When we are in a state of Grace, we do not need revenge, drama, or chaos. Grace perfectly aligns us with All That Is. Through Grace we are in sync with the heartbeat of creation; we are in harmony with nature, and at peace with all of humanity. To get to a state of Grace, we can embrace acceptance and forgiveness. But does that mean we need to accept and forgive all the wrongs done to us from abusers? Or overcome our dysfunctional familial relationships? Or heal from our traumas? No, we do not need to become as unconditional as heavenly beings to have Grace in our lives.

We only need to keep this practice self-focused.

Give yourself Grace.

Give yourself Grace for all your shortcomings, all your mistakes, all your regrets and even all the harm you may have caused. Sit in solitude and let go of all the things you think are wrong with you. Then forgive yourself for having them. Forgive yourself for relationship failures. Forgive yourself for not doing more for a person who crossed. Forgive yourself for not being a better parent or child. Forgive yourself.

For those with an active conscience, punishment comes from within. Self-imposed punishment creates a life unfulfilled of its potential. One always holds back for fear of making more mistakes that will lead to more regrets, guilt, and shame. Grace lifts us out of this fear and takes us into places that we could barely allow ourselves to dream of.

Grace is our birthright, and Grace only requires that we accept and forgive ourselves.

The practice of using these aspects is as simple as being aware and taking some time to consider them. Bring these things to mind as you meditate, or take a drive, as you go for your daily walk, or simply sit in the moment’s quiet. With a bit of time, practice, and awareness, your life, in body, mind, and heart, will incorporate the power of Heaven on Earth.

Mundane Tasks and Powerful Wisdom

Building communication and connection to Spirit can be a joyful experience!

I woke up at exactly 5:55am. Normally it would be an irritation to be awoken 5 minutes before my alarm went off, but on this day, it made me smile.

Let me explain.

It was the answer to a prayer. I had been working on connecting with Spirit. I read books on channeling Spirit Guides and Angels, and I read channeled materials from all the well-known psychic mediums. It seemed my desire to channel was out of reach because I didn’t have the ‘gift’. I practiced and prayed, and I got nothing.

Spirit Guides were an enigma to me, yet there wasn’t a time when I didn’t believe in their existence. It made sense to me that God wouldn’t send us to Earth without backup. I thought of them as beings who helped God make things easier for us. I knew they gave us protection and helped soothe us, but the most important gift they gave us is to remind us we are never alone.

This I knew in my heart as the foundational Truth of my soul.

I felt if I could get messages from them, my life would be so much easier. With hearing their wisdom, getting their insight and filled with their inspiration, my life would fall into place with ease. So, I set out on a quest to channel my Spirit Guide with the determination of one obsessed. I had the passion, the fortitude and the drive to make it happen. But, with no knowledge of how they operate or what they could do, naturally, I spent most of the time making all the mistakes of one unfamiliar with the ways of Spirit.

I became a master of how not to channel Spirit. I needed a break.

After taking a step back, I evaluated my intentions, let go of preconceived notions and other people’s beliefs. Then I finally got on the right track. The mysterious world of Spirit began to slowly and purposefully open before me. This happened because instead of beating myself up for not hearing them, not seeing them and not getting a message, I decided to ask them for favors.

I asked for things that would help me know they were there. I wanted to be sure that what I knew to be true was Truth. That is why I asked them to wake me up 5 minutes before my alarm when off. I made the ask of them before I went to sleep the night before. I spoke a silent prayer to my Spirit Guide and ONLY my Spirit Guide to wake me up 5 minutes before my alarm went off. When it happened, waking up to my clock at 5:55 was magical.

I was so happy and encouraged! I asked for more and more gifts, mundane and energetic. Asking for gifts of all types and interacting with Spirit on this playful level helped me to relax and receive more from them. Over time, I could communicate with them to the point of becoming an expert channel.

Through my journey of these and more powerful discoveries, they have taught me how they can help us and all the ways in which they can never help us. I have learned their Sacred Laws, their divine perspective, and what it is like in their heavenly world.

It is time to share all of it!

But first, I offer you a challenge. Ask them to wake you up a few minutes before your alarm is set. Be sure to be specific. Ask for your Spirit Guide and ONLY your Spirit Guide to wake you up at a specific time or 5 minutes before your alarm goes off. You need to ask specifically for your Spirit Guide to do this so that no other being or entity interferes with this process. Those of you sensitive to supernatural activity are especially in need of this intention to be clear. We don’t want any negative energy to answer the call to wake you. You only want the divine being known as your Spirit Guide to do this.

What if it doesn’t work? No problem. Think of this as an experiment. If it doesn’t work, ask again the next night. If it still doesn’t work, evaluate your beliefs. If you do not at least think there is a possibility that Spirit can do this, then it may not work. The reason being is that your Spirit Guide honors your beliefs and will do nothing to override what you believe to be true. It is part of the Sacred Laws I mentioned above. Aside from your beliefs, there are other reasons it may not work.

We will get into all the fine print and grander workings of Spirit Guides in our class, “The Spirituality of Spirit Guides.”

We start on October 3. 2024. You can attend from anywhere in the world. I hope you will be there to learn all there is to know about “The Spirituality of Spirit Guides.” See the details below.

Watch Out! How Your Psychic Senses Can Get You In Trouble

by Janet Blessings

Janet Lightstone

Working with Spirit can cause a great high, so can doing readings, journeys, and mediation. We love to be in the ethers communing with the universal love and power of our spirit. When we do this part of our consciousness leaves our body to connect and get information. Even day dreams, fantasies, deep sleep dreaming can take us out of body.

As great as that feels, we have to be in our bodies to stay present to the now, to deal with day to day life, and to keep from living in chaos that can come for not being here now. Sorry to bring you down, but we have to live on planet Earth after all.

One of the most frequent comments I get is: “for a psychic you are so grounded”. Well, I must confess, not always…

I love being out of body as much as the next person. There are days when I am doing readings non-stop for hours. Then I have to go to the grocery store, make dinner and be a mom. I might feel totally present to do those things but once I start driving I might miss my street, forget what I need at the store, or drop something then I realize I am not as grounded as I think I am. When it is worse I could be clumsy, break things, run a red light, and more!

As you can see being ungrounded can be dangerous. You may know people who are ungrounded by their behavior like: they forget what they say, miss appointments, are frequently late, break things by accident, have frequent car accidents, can’t keep track of schedules or money. This can lead to a chaos filled life of always cleaning up their messes either with injuries, damaged property or financial crisis. They may be great fun to be around and have great wisdom to share but quietly you wonder why they always have such bad luck. It’s not bad luck, they are not in their body!

The long term effects of being ungrounded can be hyper-sensitivity, over emotional reactions, crankiness or even depression. Many psychic people are on anti-depressants. If it should get to that point the psychic senses can shut down and the psychic messages become muddled or lost all together.

Being grounded not only helps you with living a better day to day life but makes you a much clearer psychic!

When I notice that I’m not as in body as I think I am I can do many techniques to keep me in my body to do what I need to do without incident.

Quick ways to get back in body:

*Vigorously rub your hands together for one minute.

*Eat something – always have a small snack or nutrition bar near you and focus on the act of eating to bring you present.

*Drink something- It should be hot or cold to get the attention of your physical senses.

*Put your hands on the ground- focus on the energy coming up from the ground to your hands, wait at least one minute until you feel back in your body.

*Go barefoot in the dirt.

*Hug a tree

*Clean something

Visualizations to get back in body (these take a few minutes):

*Imagine cords of light going from the bottom of your feet and tailbone to the center of the earth.

*Imagine you are sinking into the deep nurturing soil of the earth until you are fully surrounded by it.

*Sit near a tree asking her for grounding, stay there until you feel fully in your body.

*Imagine you are growing roots that implant and firmly connect with the earth.

Things that help you stay grounded to keep in your space:

*Dark dense stones (carry one with you if possible)

*Plants

*Pets

*Kids – the most awesome grounders EVER!

You can try any or all of these things and use what works for you to stay present and enjoy life here on Mother Earth. That is why we are here after all.

Feel free to post any of your grounding techniques or experiences that occurred due to being ungrounded in the comments below or replying to this post.

The Attraction Force of FEAR

More and more people are telling me they want to connect with Spirit and in the same moment asking me if connecting with Guides is ‘safe’. People are telling me they are concerned about alien invasions, demonic possession, entity attachments and the like. There is a lot of bad information about these topics. There is an extra ordinary amount of fear running around about the the unseen having the power to control people with a sinister and evil design.

The power of some unseen force is not in the entity to fear – the attraction force of the fear itself is what keeps us hypnotized and what we should truly be aware of. We are naturally attracted to fear. Our ego loves it. Fear creates drama. It keeps us occupied. It takes a lot of energy and attention. Why do we love horror movies, scary stories and urban myths? Our ego can stay in control over our actions so easily if we are in fear. If we fear ‘others’ then Spirit, Spirit Guides even our own higher spiritual aspect will not be able to communicate with us. The ego loves that. If we allow our higher consciousness to be be our true guide then our ego no longer controls our actions and loses it’s power. And we have been so powerless against our ego for so long that allowing Spirit to guide us seems the scariest, and most difficult thing of all.

Being empowered and recognizing that when we fear something it is an illusion is the greatest task any spiritual seeker has to accomplish. But how can we do this? How can we let go of the drama we love? How can we believe that no one, no thing, no entity, no global crisis, alien invasion, demonic possession or world order has any power over us? We have been believing all our lives that there is something, always, to fear. We are invested in fear emotionally, financially, mentally and even spiritually. We are told to fear God, poverty, big government, corporations and demons.

Take a moment to imagine that all of those things have no power over you. Take a moment to accept that even God cannot control your actions. Your actions, your thoughts, your perceptions are entirely your own. There is no power greater than your will. How does that feel? Does it feel even scarier than allowing the outside forces to have influence over you? Would you rather have something to fear? If not you are the exception.

Spirit cannot guide us when our ego is in the driver seat. It is as simple as that. And ego uses fear to remain in control. Fear must be in place for us to be manipulated and controlled. Ego is over-powered in our consciousness. Ego’s tool for control is fear. A healthy use of ego is as an identifying factor. Ego is a gift that helps us to recognize how we fit in in the scheme of things. It helps us know who we are. Yet if we allow ego to overrun our life experience through its power hungry system of fear then we become a slave to it. And we cannot be a slave to ego and serve Spirit. It is impossible. Yet things that make us fearful have an attraction force that is almost irresistible. Almost irresistible.

The simplest way to begin your journey to serve Spirit and be free from fear is to recognize when something arouses fear in you. Imaging your worst fear and taking a moment to greet it. Acknowledge its existence. Thank it for teaching you about yourself. Ask yourself how this fear has served you. How has it benefited you by holding on to it? Then dismiss your fear with gratitude. Then ask your guides to help you be in service to the highest good, ask them to help you let go of your fear to find your faith and ultimately your freedom. Do this as often as necessary and you will find that each day will be an awakening to the Divine.

Freedom opens the pathway to all creation, all power and Love. Fear negates all creation, all power and Love.

May you find the freedom that is your birthright.

Be In Peace,

Janet
