Ed Parkinson – “Angels,Inner Guides and Masters” & “Cloud Angel”
Many of us have someone we turn to in times of trouble, a friend or relative. Some of us have Angels, Inner Guides and Masters who help us through our tough times in life. We have an inner relationship which we use to seek guidance on issues in life. This is someone we can trust, who will listen to us and possibly give us some direction
Below are a few examples of different people and how they interact with their guardian angels, inner guides and masters.
A Friend who Died
Michelle has a friend who died about five years ago, who gives her inner guidance regularly. “He’s just here on my shoulder suggesting things and giving me guidance. He’s my guardian angel. We often argue, like you and I do. He might say something about God and I don’t believe in God, so we argue over things like that. He is a great help to me in the down times, when I get depressed. When I feel nobody loves me, he is always there for me. I get messages from him in so many ways. When I talk with him he makes me happy.”
Jesus faded from my life
Our relationship with our angel can change as we develop. Frank explained how as a child his inner friend was Jesus who he turned to when there was trouble in his family, in school or with his friends. “I was grateful to Jesus for my Christian faith and he was someone to pray to for deliverance out of the problems that were in my life. As I got older, in my late teens I began asking questions such as, What is life all about? Why are we here? Who am I? What is the point of my living? At this time Jesus faded from my life. While I respected Jesus as a spiritual teacher and am thankful for the help he gave in my youth, the Christian teachings didn’t answer my questions.”
“After a lot of searching I came across a spiritual path called Eckankar. The spiritual leader of Eckankar is considered a prophet. He teaches spirituality for people today and how to connect with and understand our outer and inner lives. The prophet or the Living Eck Master, as he is called, acts as a guide in my outer life by writing books and giving seminars and talks. He also acts as my inner guide, who gives me guidance and answers to my spiritual questions. This works well for me as now I have access to wisdom and insights my former path has no idea about.”
My Inner Guide is leading me
Martin explains how he sees all life as his inner guide. “It’s like life is my interface with the Holy Spirit. Life is an ongoing series of experiences so that I can discover how life works and who I am. I go through some challenges, some pleasant times, some insightful times but they are all interesting. I learn something from them all. Whatever happens I am always curious as to why it happens and where it leads, who I meet, how we interact and how we develop as a result. Life or my Inner Guide is leading me along a path for my own benefit. I just need to keep that awareness with me all the time. When I look at life that way, somehow it makes sense.”
Why do we need angels?
Inner guides and spiritual masters can give us a lot of insights and direction in life. They offer wisdom which we would otherwise not have access to. We recognise that there is more to life than just surviving on a physical level. If we want to be better informed and how to deal with situations in life, then someone with a lot more wisdom, a higher viewpoint and who wishes the best for us, is defiantly recommended. It can be like having a personal advisor for every situation in life.
How can we find our angels?
To start a relationship with an inner guide, inner master or angels we have to invite them. These are highly ethical a and spiritually evolved beings and respect our space and freedom. They do not intrude in our lives uninvited. We could make a request like “I would like guidance on this particular situation. I invite … (here state the name of someone you have in mind) or a similar higher Soul who can give me guidance with this issue.” From here on we need to keep our awareness turned up so that we can pick up any subtle thoughts or insights which come to us. It takes practice to decipher the messages coming through our mind and deciding which is guidance and which is mental garbage. We will also require patience as we sift through the endless thoughts and messages but if we persist we will begin to see a pattern and get to know how our angel works with us. Once we get our relationship established we will have a new friend who will add wisdom, light and love to our lives.
All our angels, inner guides and masters are a way the Holy Spirit or the Life-force uses to communicate with us. We as humans need a human interface to communicate with us. We are used to talking with humans so the Divine provides a human form which comes to us as an angel, inner guide or a master. As our relationship with this enlightened Soul develops and we follow their suggestions, we begin to trust their guidance more and more, we can see how they are helping us find more happiness in life. The love, light, insights and guidance we receive from our inner guides are a real blessing in our lives.
Wishing you a blessed relationship with your inner guide.
