Lately I've been hearing from many people that their spirit guides have left them.
This is not true.
They haven't left.
They're just getting out of the way so you can learn how to move forward under your own power.
After 12/21/2012 your spirit guides began stepping back in order to allow you to fulfill your destiny - that of taking your power back.
This process involves learning how to utilize your own innate wisdom instead of relying on your spirit guides, angels, and other people and beings to whom you have given your authority in the past.
It's much like watching a small child learn how to walk.
Initially the child is supported and guided by an adult.
At some point the adult lets go of the child's hands in order to allow them to learn how to walk on their own and travel in the direction of their choice.
So it is with your spirit guides.
They're letting you know that it's time for you to walk your life path using your own knowledge and wisdom, and choosing your own direction.
Oh, they're still around in case you really need them for guidance.
But remember, they're spirit guides, not directors.
They now serve in a different capacity.
Rather than being your commanders and issuing orders to you, they're now serving as your advisors.
Much like the GPS system you use in your car, your spirit guides are now acting as your Life GPS, ready to give you directions to a destination should you ask.
However you have the power to choose if you want to follow their suggested route, take another route, or even if you want to use your Life GPS or not.
Just as the highest and best purpose of a GPS is to advise you as to the best route to take to your desired destination, it's still only advice.
You have the power of choice as to whether you want to follow that advise.
You are now empowered to choose how you want to get to your destination.
You have the power to choose a new and different destination at any time.
YOU are now in command of your life.
Although a GPS is handy, it's not infallible.
Often it can lead you to an incorrect address.
Likewise, spirit guides can give you advice that isn't correct or accurate.
With a GPS your location is sent to a satellite and then bounced back to the GPS in your car, where it's displayed on maps stored within the GPS.
There may be distortions in the transmission of the data.
Additionally, the data within the GPS may be outdated or incorrect.
Similarly, your Life GPS transmissions may be corrupted.
After all, your spirit guides are transmitting through other dimensions and realities.
Most of them have never been human, so they can only advise you from their perspective, which may be lacking in current and correct data.
Only you know the correct directions for you to make as you travel on your life path.
Use your spirit guides as your Life GPS and remember...
it's advice, not orders.
