YOUR GUIDES, ANGELS AND TEACHERS - By Debbora Wiles

What are nonphysical guides, angels and teachers?  Lately, I’ve been fielding a lot of questions on this topic and I have been amazed at how much misinformation there is about these beings. We are naturally curious about who they are, why they are and why anyone should even care.  More importantly, we need to know what their roles are in the physical world and how they affect us spiritually and personally.

If you read long enough in the metaphysics field or in biblical text, you will stumble into this understanding that all people are born into this world with an entourage or nonphysical helpers.  These helpers include on life guide, an angel or two and string of teachers. Even in early childhood we are taught that guardian angels are watching over us and that everyone has them. But this too leave a lot of confusion when people read the news and see where this child was lost in an accident and they say where was their guardian angel then?  To clear up this confusion, let’s look at each of the entities in our nonphysical entourage and their roles as our lives.

THE LIFE GUIDE

Depending on which authors you have been reading, a Life Guide is your true “soul mate” a friend of the deepest level who many have been a relative, spouse or close friend in another lifetime or over many lifetimes.  The Life Guide may also be someone you had a close relationship with on the Other Side.  Regardless of where the two of you met, at some point the two of you entered into sacred contractual agreement that your Life Guide would serve you over the course of one lifetime.  This contract was made long before you came here and continues in every second of time until you return to the Other Side – without exception.

Everyone that comes into a physical body has ONE and only ONE Life Guide. Your guide is your nonphysical counter part to your psychical body; they are also your Dynamic Energy polar opposite.  This energy can be male or female, but it is also a mirror reflection of opposite energies in our world.  String theory, and M theory science backs up this understanding of the balance of physical and nonphysical energy in universe - you are proof of that.  Since you are here in a physical body – then your nonphysical counterpart is also here.

So the next question is what is the job of the Life Guide?  This is where a lot people get into confusion about their role in our lives.  The Life Guide is the most perfect personal manager you will ever know. Their job is to feed you data, experiences, information and give you direction for anything you want to experience, learn or master while you are in a flesh body. Their job is also to filter nonphysical endeavors to you for those of us that channel writing, painting and other creative talents…these are co-creative projects.

So the Life Guide’s job is to line up the tools, experiences, creative endeavors and educational methods you ask for in moving through this world.  When you ASK to know something – your manager goes to work lining up your request - instantly.  YOU are always in the “boss” position of this relationship and the Life Guide’s job is dedicated support.  A Life Guide NEVER makes decisions or choices for you, ever.

Now let’s get rid of some things you may have read or misunderstood about the role of your Life Guide. First of all you only have ONE Life Guide, not several. Your Life Guide is not an on-board psychic that is there to tell you the future or help you make any decisions in your life. It is NOT a Life Guide’s job to protect you physically.  If you wish for or chew on, worse case scenarios (worry) for your life they will deliver that program that into your experience as fast as they program in the good.  Life Guide’s are not a conscience and they do not judge you – they just deliver the experience you want – good, bad or otherwise.

Many people go through life without ever knowing they have a Life Guide working with them. These guides work softly in the background like silent running software. Psychically sensitive people often develop a close relationship with their Life Guides. Because Life Guides were once human themselves, they all have different personalities, histories and often have different levels of talent they are willing to share – provided that information is co-creative and not related to you personally. Life Guide can be the best non judgmental friend you will ever find – if you allow a relationship to grow. 

So your Life Guide is, in a nut shell, a reality programmer that feeds you data and experiences as you request them. This is their roll as your dedicated personal experience manager.  The Life Guide is always at the head of you personal nonphysical entourage – nothing gets to you with going through the Life Guide first and then only when you request it first by through, deed or action.

GUARDIAN ANGELS

Everyone that comes here is assigned one or two angels to protect them against untimely physical harm or death.  Biblical stories, TV programs and thousands of books on this topic prove out this truth. According to the works of Sylvia Browne and many other writers with psychic sight agree that most people that come to earth these days are assigned two angels. Fifty years ago those with psychic sight only saw ONE guard angel for each person. Today most people have two. This is proof that we live in a faster moving and more dangerous world. The primary job of an angel is to protect and guard you from UNPLANNED harm. There are some pretty spectacular true stories of angels rescuing people. Later on these people cannot explain what happened except in paranormal terms.

Angels are light beings that are part of the positive energy end of Universal Energy. They number in the billion and belong to the vast and endlessly complex matrix of the Other Side organization we call heaven. They have never been human, nor will they ever be human, no matter what fantasies you have read or seen in films like, Dogma, City of Angels or Prophecy.  Angels do not fall, they cannot die or get hurt nor do they put off harmful vibes. The nature of their positive energy make up prevents all this.  

It’s important to understand that angels never cause fearful vibrations.  Sometimes people see angels and never know they ARE angels until they vanish into thin air after they have done their jobs or relayed important information.  So if something in your environment is causing you discomfort or fear you need to know that it is never your guard angels.

Personal guard angels, like your personal Life Guide, is there to help you with your earthly experiences.  They do not make decisions for you ever.   It is not your personal guard angel’s job to heal you, direct your decisions, give you fortune telling data, help you with your job or to work miracles for you. Their only job is to keep you safe through your earthly experiences.

Now this statement may seem a bit strange to you. You have, no doubt, read stories of angels who heal, angels who do war, angels who exorcise demons and guard things and do a million other things.  Here you need to keep in mind that angels who do specialized work are not of the same station as your guardian angels.  Angels are like people in that all of them have different kinds work they specialize in.  For example, an Elemental angel who works with plants would not yield good results if you called on this angel to help you guard your home.  Nor would you get good results if you called on an angel of war to heal your body.  So it is critical to know which angels to call on to get the specific kind of help you need when you need it.

The first hard and fast rule of working with angels is that they can never help you unless you call on them specifically to help.  If you never ASK for help from them specifically they cannot give you help. So remember to ASK for their help if you need it. The second thing you need to remember is that you need to ASK the right kind of angel for the specialize task you need help with.  Angels love you with every fiber of their being.  They are happy, willing and eager to help you in any way they can.  But they can’t help you; no matter how miserable you are, unless you ask.  That is their hard and fast rule.  So keep that firmly in mind.

The third thing you need to know is how to pick your angels by their specialty and how to summon angels to you at any time.  This is a simple thing you can do that can bring about huge results very rapidly.  You can learn about specialize angels and how to summon them in on the Angel Protection House Blessing Kit or CD.  On this CD I provide you step by step directions and list of angel names and their specific specialty.  This is extremely important data you and your family and your home.  I highly recommend it.

TEACHERS OF LIGHT

The third part of your personal entourage is your light teachers.  Teachers are often crossed over light beings that work with specialized information.  Over the course of a person’s lifetime they will ask for information, understanding or training on different subjects.  This request can be a want, a wish, a longing or simply thinking about something you want information on.  It is the job of your light teachers to send all the data you need on any topic you choose to learn.  Some times your teachers send this data to you in a magical kind of way that we may dismiss as “coincidence.”  

For example, I had a friendly chat with a friend one afternoon about the country of Jamaica.  I really did not know much about that country other then it is a beautiful tropical country and that it is popular with tourist.  I made the statement that I wished I knew more about it and let it go.  The very next morning I got 4 e-mails offering trips and cruises for me to visit Jamaica. In 14 years of getting millions of e-mails I never once got an offer to visit Jamaica – not once.  Yet within 24 hours of this conversation I had 4 invitations to go.  What are the odds of that?  Was it coincidence or my teachers happily help me out with that data I had requested in passing.  Likely it was the latter and I had a good laugh over how fast they were in getting me the requested data.

Light teachers change your whole lifetime you can have 2 to 50 of them at a time.  They come and go with the data you need at different times of your life.  Some of the then just funnel data to you in a magical kind of way – like my Jamaica incident above, some of them teach you in dream time, or sometimes they direct you to information in books or on the Internet other resources. Many times they set physical realities to deliver the perfect teacher to you in physical time. 

How many times have you heard the saying, “When the student is ready, the teacher arrives?”  I’ve had this happen to me countless times in my lifetime.  It’s interesting that we never know just HOW the teacher and student find each other – who sets up that meeting between you and a teacher? Who arranges things for the student and the teacher to meet each other?  If you ever wondered about that; now you have your answer.  You have an entire universe of specialist teachers sitting at your beck and call.  All you have to do is ask and the data is your’s.  All of them are a part of your nonphysical personal entourage.

Also in the teachers spot are sometimes a number of crossed over relatives that act as helpers, greeters, channelers and mild guardians.  Very often these are relatives you knew or who knew you at some point in your lifetime before they crossed over to the Other Side.  These helpers often act as family matriarchs or patriarchs in nonphysical reality to help family members still in physical reality.  We know this because mediums often meet these “helper” being of light when connecting to crossed over people, so a few of these Helpers being may also be in your personal entourage.  

TOTEMS

Last, but certainly not least, is your personal animal totem.  Each person gets one or more animal totem to round out their personal nonphysical entourage.  A totem can be the energy spirit of any kind of animal but more often than not it is a specific animal that you shared a past life with.  This can be a past pet, or an animal you helped in another life or just an animal you had a close relationship with on the Other Side. 

The purpose of an animal spirit guide is to help you integrate, understand and receive data from the animal and nature side of understanding.  Most of us these days care for one or more pets either directly or indirectly.  The totem animal allows you gather more understanding about the animals that we interact with daily.  So in a way, a totem acts as a channel between the realm of man and animals and all the realms in between.  So you might call them our personal nature connection.

In ancient times our connection to nature was much closer than it is in most parts of the world today.  The need to understand nature and the world of animals was so strong then because it was critical to our survival.  Because of this close connection between animals and mankind many religion sprang up from this need.  We see evidence of this closeness all over the world, like in the totem poles of North and South America, tribes and religions that worship birds, snakes or animals of prey.  We see this close connection in ancient Egypt in their worship of the cow goddess (Hathor), the Jackal (Anubis), the cat (Bast), the monkey (Thoth), and the Ibis god and many others. 

So your totem animal or animal spirit guide completes your personal nonphysical entourage.  Their job is to create bridges of understanding between the world of animals, nature and you. They can sometimes serve as protectors or teachers as well.  But everyone has one of more of them depending on what you have planned for your earthly experiences.

Altogether you have no less than 5 to 10 nonphysical light entities surrounding you AT ALL TIMES.  Each of these entities have their own special job to help your experience here on earth run smoother; send you the data you need when you need it, and to protect you from harm or untimely death and teach you any subject you desire to survive better.  How awesome is that?   

Do you know who your Life Guide is?  How do you go about meeting them or setting up a friendship with them?  How do you set up two way communications with your guide, angels, totem and your whole nonphysical entourage?  

To find out, I will be having a special Guides workshop on this topic.  In this workshop I will channel each of you and help you discover your guide’s names and their back grounds and share methods on how you can set up good communication lines between you and your entire spiritual group.  Look for this special workshop on the chat room schedule this month.  

CALLING THE QUARTERS by Dr. Charlotte Pipes

Wiccans do not hold regular weekly worship services as some religions do. Instead, we celebrate eight holidays throughout the year, called sabbats. The dates for these sabbats are chosen by following a seasonal calendar we call the “Wheel of the Year.” We celebrate on those eight days by attending religious services as other faiths do.

Christian ceremonies, such as Sunday worship services, follow a certain order; a set of actions performed in a specific sequence. Similarly, Wiccan sabbat ceremonies follow a set of actions in a certain sequence. One of the actions in our sequence is named “Calling the Quarters.” This task usually comes early in the ceremony, just after a large prayer circle has been physically delineated, a process called “casting the circle,” and the participants are all assembled inside that circle.

Calling the Quarters is important on many levels. We do it partly to pay homage to our spiritual ancestors who believed that the universe, and everything in it, was composed of four and only four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. They believed that everything in the world around them was comprised of varying amounts of just these four ingredients.

Over time, these four elements came to be associated with the four compass directions: north, east, south, and west. The traditional pairings are: air/east, fire/south, west/water, and north/earth. If you are of another faith, not Wiccan or pagan, the four directions might not be of great importance to you during your worship service, since you probably worship indoors. But for pagans, who worship outdoors, the four directions are more apparent, more a part of our awareness during the ceremony. Each direction plotted on our circle would divide that circle into four quarters. Wiccans, because we usually stand outdoors in a circle to pray, are consciously aware of the directions that govern the four areas of our circle.

Another reason why we call the quarters is because of our belief that the world is animated by the presence of non-physical spirit beings who are sentient, self-aware. We believe that we can communicate with them and partner with them in various activities, such as growing a garden, blessing an object and worshipping in our circle.

We routinely use the same specific sites for our outdoor rituals. So we already know the directions of east, south, west and north from that location. However if we are using a new ritual area, we will use a compass or consult a map to determine precisely our four directions. We sometimes place colored candles or other markers to indicate the four directions. The traditional color associations are north/green, east/yellow, south/red and west/blue.

Next, we “call the quarters” by summoning the spirits who are the lords of the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. As a Christian might summon angels for assistance, we are inviting leading representatives of each element to attend our ceremony. We do this for two reasons. First of all, we wish to honor them and share our celebration with them. Secondly, we wish to ask for their guardianship of the circle. As we pray and work within the confines of the circle, we are linking to the astral planes. We ask the lords of the elements, who function on many planes of existence, to protect us and monitor us while we pray in our circle.

I say protect and monitor because we ask them to “pass inspection” on our activities within the circle, activities such as spellwork. Because they are astral beings, the spirits can see what we cannot. They can see the consequences of our spellwork better than we can. In my personal quarter calls I ask them to “witness my rite”: by that I mean curtail any magickal workings that might, unknown to me, cause harm to others. Our Wiccan Rede states, An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will. Though we strive only to work magicks that are beneficial, how can we really know all the ramifications of our actions? We can’t. But the spirits can. So I rely on them to thwart the progress of my magickal work, if they see that it will have harmful consequences to others. That is what I mean by my words, “…witness my rite.”

Traditionally, air/east is called first. However, you may alter this tradition if you wish. I was born in May. My birth sign is Taurus, which is an earth sign. So I always call north first, because I feel an affinity for that direction and that element. You can call the quarters in whatever order feels the most natural to you.

If you belong to a coven, you probably memorized the words to your quarter calls as they were taught to you by the Priest and/or Priestess of your coven. If you are a solitary, you must compose your own quarter calls. They can be lengthy or short, depending on what you like to say. They will probably change over time, as you grow in your faith. My current quarter calls are slightly different than the words I originally used. And I incorporate some simple movements.

If you wish to adapt my personal quarter calls for your own use, feel free to do so. My prose is a combination of phrases from many sources. I researched different traditional quarter calls before I crafted my own. As others have shared with me, I now share with you.

(1) I begin by standing and facing north, arms extended out in front of me and slightly up, palms facing out, fingers pointing up. I close my eyes and call out:

Spirits of the North, ye angels of Earth,

Ye who dwell in the forests and the fields, the mountains and the valleys,

It is I (state your name) who calls out to thee.

I entreat thee, approach and be welcomed!

Then I wait a moment, eyes still closed, and envision them in my mind. I watch them assembling. I see trees rustling, animals approaching and other creatures coming forward to meet me. Then I open my eyes. I drop my arms horizontal with the ground, rotating my palms to face up, fingers pointing forward, and I say:

Spirits of the North, I welcome ye to my circle.

I ask that ye guard the northern approach to my circle.

Protect me as I pray.

Spirits of Earth, I do invite,

Guard my circle and witness my rite.

As I say this last line, I slide one foot back, shifting my weight to my back foot. I bend from the waist, bowing slightly forward, tipping my head down. I bend my elbows, cross my arms diagonally and place my palms flat on my upper chest. It is a gesture of homage. I perform this same choreography for each direction.

(2) Facing east I recite:

Spirits of the East, ye angels of Air,

Ye who dwell in the cloud tops and the high reaches,

Ye who are a feather on the breath of the gods,

It is I (name) who calls out to thee.

I entreat thee, approach and be welcomed!

Pause. Envision them.

Spirits of Air, I welcome ye to my circle.

I ask that ye guard the eastern approach to my circle.

Protect me as I pray.

Spirits of Air, I do invite,

Bow.

Guard my circle and witness my rite.

(3) Facing south I recite:

Spirits of the South, ye angels of Fire,

Ye who are the energy at the center of the world,

Ye who light the hearth of every home,

It is I (name) who calls out to thee.

I entreat thee, approach and be welcomed!

Pause. Envision them.

Spirits of Fire, I welcome ye to my circle.

I ask that ye guard the southern approach to my circle.

Protect me as I pray.

Spirits of Fire I do invite,

Bow.

Guard my circle and witness my rite.

(4) Facing west I recite:

Spirits of the West, ye angels of Water,

Ye who dwell in the vast seas and might oceans,

Ye who live in every drop within me,

It is I (name) who calls out to thee.

I entreat thee, approach and be welcomed!

Pause. Envision them.

Spirits of Water, I welcome you to my circle.

I ask that ye guard the western approach to my circle.

Protect me as I pray.

Spirits of Water, I do invite.

Bow.

Guard my circle and witness my rite.

Now you have cast the circle and called the quarters. You then move on to the next phase of your ritual, which is the prayer to summon deity to be with you in your circle.

At the end of the ritual, you will make a final address to the spirits of the quarters. You have invited them to attend, now it is time to thank them for their participation and bid them a fond farewell. My exit quarter calls follow this pattern.

(1) Standing straight, facing north, arms extended parallel to the ground, palms facing up, I say:

Spirits of Earth,

I thank you for your presence here.

I ask that you now return to your places of power,

For the land of this world is much in need of your protection.

Bow. (See below.)

Go in peace, go in love. Blessed Be.

As I say the last line, I bow slightly from the waist, tip my head down, bend my elbows, put one hand flat over the other, lay both hands flat over my heart. It is a gesture of gratitude. Then I stand up straight again, to turn and face the next direction.

(2) Standing straight, facing east, arms extended parallel to the ground, palms facing up, I say:

Spirits of Air,

I thank you for your presence here.

I ask that you now return to your places of power,

For the air of this world is much in need of your protection.

Bow, place hands over heart.

Go in peace, go in love. Blessed Be.

(3) Standing straight, facing south, arms extended parallel to the ground, palms facing up, I say:

Spirits of Fire,

I thank you for your presence here.

I ask that you now return to your places of power,

For the energy of this world is much in need of your protection.

Bow, place hands over heart.

Go in peace, go in love. Blessed Be.

(4) Standing straight, facing west, arms extended parallel to the ground, palms facing up, I say:

Spirits of Water,

I thank you for your presence here.

I ask that you now return to your places of power,

For the waters of this world are much in need of your protection.

Bow, place hands over heart.

Go in peace, go in love. Blessed Be.

After you have bid farewell to the spirits of the quarters you will open your circle, mentally and/or physically. The ceremony is usually followed by feasting, most often a potluck, and sharing good times with good friends.

If you are interested in attending a Wiccan sabbat ceremony, there are many ceremonies that are staged in open-air sites, like municipal parks, and the ceremony itself is open to the general public. Just as you might, out of curiosity, attend a church service of another faith, you can attend one of our services. We just meet to pray outdoors instead of in a building. You can attend and participate, or just observe from a respectful distance. Now that you know a little about “quarter calls” you can listen to their version of it. You will hear different “quarter calls” wherever you go.

To find out when and where these public rituals are held, you can consult the calendar at a popular pagan web site http://www.witchvox.net Scroll down to the bottom of the homepage and looks for the heading “Events: Circles, Gatherings, Workshops, & Festivals.” Follow that link and you can locate an public sabbat ritual in your area. If you attend, feel free to talk to folks and ask questions. We are always ready to meet people and make new friends.

Blessed Be.

THE COLORS OF THE UNIVERSE By Nadeem Sait

The entire Universe has a range of colors it normally functions in. Each color has its own significance and power. Almost everyone would have seen a rainbow. This is the most visible form of Universal Energy and the colors associated with it. A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the sunlight passes through droplets of moisture in the Earth’s atmosphere. This is a visual spectacle presented by the Universe from time to time when the conditions of moisture and the light in the sky are just right. Other than this being a visual marvel and a treat to see, one can notice the colors being displayed in all glory. The mostly commonly accepted colors of a rainbow are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet on the perceptible range. These are the very same colors which are distinctly denoted and associated with the seven Chakras or vortexes of energy at points where the aura is attached to the human physical body.

The Universal energy too works through colors. In healing these very colors of the Universe are used. Healing energy when used with different Universal colors is very powerful and strong. When applied in certain ways exhibit special and distinct characteristics and are employed to assist healing of various ailments, diseases and discomforts.

The colors in which healing energy is gathered and transmitted for healing are the very same Universal colors along with translucent White and Clear energy. These translucent White and Clear energies are very much part of the universal energy spectrum but are not distinctly visible except to the discerning vision. Healing energy in colors is used separately or in tandem with one another to get the required healing as necessary.

Healing by energy is almost as similar as any other method of healing. A human body is made for self healing and it normally does this function everyday. At times there could be larger issues by which the self healing mechanism fails or when it is overloaded whereby it cannot perform all the healing demands of the body satisfactorily. That is when a disease, discomfort or an ailment manifests itself in a human body. Healing energy when applied appropriately acts as a catalyst to kick start the self healing mechanism and gives an energy assist so that the healing is faster and complete.

This healing energy is applied in different colors to enable specific healing in the body. Each color has its own characteristic of healing and when applied in the right manner and in the correct way it ensures relief, sometimes instantly. Any human being has the ability to create this kind of healing energy and transmit to a person requiring the assist for healing.

 It has been a continuous endeavor at Psychic School House to empower normal people with knowledge and methods to make everyday life to be one of understanding of the ways of the Universe and how everything works including all subjects so far considered esoteric like spiritual, non physical and supernatural. Spiritual healing with colors too is a tool for everyday use and can be used by anyone for healing family members’, friends and even oneself. Learning how to heal with colors is quite simple and does not require any particular primary qualification other than an ability to concentrate one’s mind. We have free Chat room sessions and workshops every week where you can learn the Dynamics of Energy and the fundamentals of our Universe and learn methods of self and home protection, dealing with non physical entities, bringing up psychic children, free psychic readings, tools for everyday use and much more. The first part workshop on the healing with colors was held on 27^th August and we welcome you to join us on September 10th for the second part of this workshop.
