This isn't working.

How can you tell what's them talking to you and whats just you imagining things?? Is it possible to talk to your spirit guide all your life and never realize it?

 

Yes it's possible to talk to your spirit guide your entire life and never realize, it's actually pretty common I'd say.

For me, I'm able to distinguish between different awareness', I know the difference between my own thoughts and spiritual communication/telepathy.

You're young, and seem very interested in this, I'd suggest you keep trying, you'll eventually get it. No doubt. Look inside yourself, meditate.

 

i've never asked my spirit guide to show itself, and i don't intend to. i know it's there by the things that happen around me.

 

Can you tell the difference between somebody talking to you versus IMAGINING somebody talking to you? It's the same way with me and my spirit guides. Sometimes they'll interrupt a sentence I'm saying to them, and finish my thought with a surprise ending. Very often they'll say something to me that I would never have thought of myself.

But you know, you're getting very very close to some very slippery slopes here...the entire question of the nature of reality and the reality of perception--but I'm just not going to go there, because it's not really what you need to hear, and it doesn't affect the bottom line, which is: Whatever you experience is your reality, and your life consists of your experience.

Bl4 gave you some good advice--you should try it out.

 

Ok how do you meditate? I've tried but I can't clear my mind and I always end up falling asleep haha.

Um this might sound weird, but ever since I was like 3 years old I'd have this place in my mind I'd go to. I still go there now, but the place has changed alot over the years. So have the people in it. But there's always this one person who, even though she's changed bodies too, has been there my whole life. I never thought this was unusual until I was about 12, when I realized not all kids have imaginary worlds and people in their heads. I go to this world at least once a day, sometimes I stay there for hours. Most of the time I use music to help me get there, since thats what I'm used to doing. If I don't get to go there for a long time I start to act really weird, I become a really boring person, and my head starts to have this bad feeling. So obviously this place is like a part of me, but I don't understand why or what it even all means. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that the things that happen in that little world actually happen somewhere out there in a parallel universe or something. But maybe some of the people are real? Especially the one that's been with me this whole time? Even if they aren't real though, me doing this so often has to mean SOMETHING, and I've been dying to know what it means. I want to know why I do this. Is it possible that some of this might be more than imagination?

 

Try meditating. The only 2 times I've ever communicated with my spirit guide I was in a meditative state and sensed their exact location in the room.

Just a thought.

 

This is probably the most important thing you've said so far.

The one that's been there the whole time--that's the one you should start talking to. And listen to her answers.

LOL You've had the answer all along, I believe, and you didn't see it--until now, maybe.

 

Lol thanks zengizmo. I feel dumb for not figuring it out sooner.

 

You spent most of your life thinking a certain way about this place that you go in your mind, and it got to be such a habit that it didn't even occur to you to think about it differently. It happens to everybody--me included. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to find something that's been in front of us all along.

 

But how do I know if she's really real or not? She won't give me any signs or anything. Last year I thought maybe she might be my spirit guide but every time I'd ask for a sign that she's real, I wouldn't get anything. So I just forgot about it and went on believing that she was imaginary. Her excuse was always either that she couldn't give me a sign(like she wasn't allowed or something), or that when she did give signs I wouldn't notice them or I'd just think they're coincidence.

 

pal, your spirit guides are not there to prove themselves to you.

you just gotta live your life, go with the flow, follow your goals AND keep an open heart and mind. youll see your signs yourself.

do not forget, everyone has different understanding, inclinations, so something that applies to others does not apply to you. you gotta listen to your inner space to get what your thing is.
