Greetings VoE,
- What's your opinion on accounts of people meeting their ancestors (or a long lost deceased relative) on the astral plane?
- Also, why do you think those are without have 'spirit guides' to help them out in situations affecting their their personal lives?
HS.
The astral plane is not a linear plane. It exists above the material world in a literal sense. Time isn't linear there either.
The past, present and even the future can converge there and can be connected to in ways depending on your advancement.
However, even people who do not meditate can have experiences on the astral by tapping into these things, due to also having a soul and being part of this astral level of existence, they just cannot do this consciously and often these experiences happen by a fluke or maybe by a fate to remind them of the higher parts of existence that most people forget about or are unaware of.
You can sit down and fall into deep trance, and meet your ancestors face to face, speak with them and see them, even if they are souls who no longer exist, because the past always remains on the universe. This isn't trivial to do, but it can be done.
Same as you can communicate with your higher self, which is you on a higher octave, your future self if you walk the spiritual path.
Since the potential for you to advance to higher states exists, your higher self which is a future reflection of manifested potential also exists on some distant level. The more you advance, the closer you get to this self, and the higher this potential future self becomes.
Your higher self knows much that you do not know, and makes decisions which it knows are best for you, because it has succeeded on the path you are struggling on.
It knows how to get to where they are in their present, and thus can lead you easily to walk the right path to get to where they are, if only you listen to them.
Remember that. On the astral, all things converge. Past, present and future all exist and can be tapped into to for extraordinary knowledge and understanding.
The Gods can see this level as clear as looking at a drawing. For us it is confusing as we exist in the middle of it. For the Gods, they exist outside of its bounds and can clearly see it all.
As for spirit guides, these are most often the persons own self, or higher self giving advice to the foolish self in the present. They can also be spirits of deceased loved ones trying to give advice, or they can be the Gods, or high level souls who happen to notice a person struggle and try to help them.
If it is the Gods, this will happen with a higher purpose and the person helped by them will find themselves guided to Them in one way or another.
It can be for example that the person who may be uninitiated in this life has been with the Gods in their past lives, and thus their GD is giving them guidance.
When I was a child I had an "imaginary friend" who was always by my side and helped me with many things. They comforted me when I had nightmares, they calmed me when I was angry and they kept me company when I was lonely.
She was a little girl with blue eyes and blonde hair. When I was 5 years old I grew up enough to where I didn't need that "imaginary friend" anymore to comfort me as they did.
I learned to comfort myself and I learned to have my own friends so I wasn't lonely or anything.
Later on after dedicating, I learned she was my GD Inanna all along, who had watched over me since I was a child, and helped me in times of need or helplessness.
The so called "spirit guide" uninitiated people often talk about, could in some peoples cases be their GD.
I also went to fortune tellers and the like before I found the JoS to ask about such things when I didn't understand on this yet.
The few real ones could see my "spirit guide", who was Inanna, but they were never told her name, they could see she was a woman and was very powerful, but not much else, as Inanna didn't tell them anything more, only what I needed to hear to seek my own answers and eventually be led to the JoS in my search for answers and understanding.
