Something funny is happening right now.  And as I think better on paper, this is my best bet to figuring it out.

So if you don’t know this about me, I started to hear voices about 4 years ago while I was pregnant.  It was a shock to me (and my poor husband).  I was thoroughly ill prepared for this as I did not believe in God (nor Angels) and I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology.  There was just no good way to turn "hearing voices" into something positive.  Or so I thought…

Being a software engineer, I thought I would "explore" this without medication for a while.  Meaning that I was too terrified to speak about this to anyone.  After almost a year of agony, I read a book called Opening to Channel: How to Connect With Your Guide (Birth Into Light).  I have no idea how I found this book but it changed my life.

I don’t think it’s fair to say that I "read" this book.  It was more like devouring.  I might have been drooling too.  Anyhoo, the funny thing is that I felt like I could have WRITTEN the book, as it pretty much described everything I had been experiencing in the "voices" department.

Phewwww.  There’s nothing like the feeling of knowing that you’re not the only weird-crazy-whackjob on the planet.  There’s at least 3 of us (me and the two authors).  From that more comfortable place of being, I started to "work" with Spirit Guides.

They’re a fun bunch, these guides.  Always happy to help, no matter how long you’ve been screaming insults at them from the top of your lungs.  Some people call them Guardian Angels.  I don’t think they care what they’re called.  I never liked the term Guardian because it implied that there was some enemy out there that we need protection from.  Ick. 

So after a while I realized that I had Spirit Guides.  That they knew their stuff pretty well and I did a lot better in life when I listened to them and followed their (sometimes weird) advice.  Such weird advice included: eating more ice cream, putting on 5 pounds, power walking, etc.  Then I realized that I could hear not only MY guides but EVERYONE’s guides as well.  There was a phase there where my mind was a constant radio show with a different DJ every 5 minutes.  As I understand it, this part is a tad unusual.  But by then I was quite used to being a weirdo, so that didn’t bother me.

I started offering sessions to people who wanted to talk to their guides but were finding a lot of  static noise on their own connection to them.  Which lead to another interesting discovery.  When I do this, I cannot remember a word I say.  I am so caught up in the present moment that nothing else matters.  It had the nice side effect of releasing me from adding unwanted distorting in the messages I was handing out.  My mind wasn’t involved so it was unable to taint or distort what I was saying.  So I became one nice clear channel.

Well, for some reason, I don’t hear them anymore more.  Don’t get me wrong, if I call, they answer.  If someone asks me about their Spirit Guides, I can hear them still.  But I’m not hearing the constant broadcast I had gotten used to (and fond of!). 

I realized today that I have been more and more connecting to something else than Spirit Guides to get answers for myself and other people: Intuitive Insight.  It’s a totally different feeling, as it’s not associated with an identity.  Spirit Guides feel like "people", except without the physical body part.   They’re funny, they sing in your head, they have friends. 

But intuition feels like…mmmmm….well, I guess I’m not sure…What does it feel like to you?

Is that good?  I don’t know.  I still can’t remember a thing I say when I am in this mode of operation.  So that’s a plus.  I am still a clear channel.  The question is: is intuition different than Spirit Guides? Is it better?

What do you think?
