    I can tell you with 100% certainty that spirits do exist, because I talk with one on a regular basis... I can't however, force you to believe in them, that's a road you have to decide you want to take. My grandfather is half First Nation (Cherokee, he grew up on a reservation in Oklahoma), and he helped raise me to believe that EVERYTHING has a life, and more importantly, a spirit, (it doesn't matter what it is, big or small). I'm a very spiritual person, and maybe that's why it's so easy for me. It might be possible to meet your guid without being a spiritual person. However, I don't think you can truly befriend them unless you are.

  • I actually have Native American blood in me. It's like Homa Nation or something. My mother told me a long time ago. I believe I'm 1/8 indian, does that make a difference?

  • Unfortunately, no... Blood doesn't matter, it's your spirit, and what you truly believe that does.

  • I don't have a set belief. I suppose if I want to belive, I can. So I will.

  • I don't think that it's so important to have a "set belief", I think that it's important to just "believe" something.

  • That's what I mean. I just don't know how... I feel so detatched from anything internal or spiritual or natural...

  • I understand being disconnected from the natural world, most people today think I'm crazy for believing that everything has a life, and that all life is sacred and should be shown respect. [spoiler]Humanity as a whole has become very detached from the world we live in.[/spoiler] But I've always been confident in myself, and I've tried to stay connected to the world spiritually ever since I was mature enough to fully understand how important it was. But I'm a terrible teacher, and unfortunately I can't just snap my fingers and make people understand... [spoiler]If I could then the world would be a much better place right now.[/spoiler] Let me think about it for a bit, and I'll get back to you.

  • Thanks... It's just frustrating because I understand everything, I just don't know how to convey it to other people.

  • I'm going to try to meditate again tonight. Maybe put on my anti-noise headphones. Try to get as close to silence as possible.

  • Good... Keep at it and I'm sure you will get there eventually.

  • How do I hear his/her/its words, though? I can't see anything without making it up in my mind... like, I cannot picture it being there without actually imagining it...

  • That's a tough one... Sometimes it will feel like tug on the back of your mind, and sometimes it will be pretty obvious when they are talking to you... The first time I met my guide, they wouldn't even tell me their name. But now I (on occasion) have full conversations with them.

  • I'll just keep meditating. These are questions I suppose I can only answer for myself.
