This is in answer to an email I received about just why their guide wouldn’t talk to them. 

I felt the same as you before I began to channel. Same way. They said they were there. They said I could believe. I tried to believe. Turns out you just have to pretend. For awhile. Until it finally happens. But they are there. And, you’re right, they will not speak to us because we will not listen or, rather, are afraid of what they might have to say, or it just isn’t time yet. I just don’t know why.

I had to surrender. I had to lay myself open and after the contact was made and I could hear I realized I had laid myself more bare than I had ever done with another human being in my life. That was really scary. Think Santa Claus sees all? Think God sees all? These folk in Spirit see all and have something to say about it too. Sometimes it is difficult to listen to them because they will point out the stuff you’ve been trying to ignore. That’s hard.

So, I would say if you aren’t ready for a buttinsky guide in your life just be content that they are there, though you cannot hear what they have to say.

As far as them comforting me that did not happen until I had stepped over the edge and started to actually channel. It is a very, very weird feeling. You get used to it. I couldn’t imagine life any other way now. It’s interesting too, but I realized once I’d started to channel that there had been times in my life before the “official” date of learning how to channel was upon me that I might have somehow tapped into the universal unconscious or talked to the guides years before it officially happened. I just don’t know, but sometimes those strange things that had happened to me at different points in my life just felt so much like channeling later on. I think if it happened to me that it has to have happened to other people too. I can’t be that different than others.

Even though you can’t hear them they can hear you. So, just blab away. Pretend that they are there just being silent. Talk to them silently in your heart. Write a letter to them and then sit quietly to see what thoughts might just sort of pop into your head. Rail at them for not talking to you. I remember pounding away at the piano just days before I broke through and began to channel. I was so angry at my guide for not talking to me. I desparately needed to talk to him. My husband was in the hospital with a broken back. Our finances was in a critical position right then. I was desparate to talk to my guide. And there was only silence. Yes, I know how you feel. I’ve been there.

The way they speak in the beginning is very, very quietly. Sometimes they speak and we just aren’t able to hear because of all the noise we are making.

So, before they will talk to you verbally, perhaps you can trust that they will talk to you through another source of divination. Like maybe the Tarot. But, the key for all of it is trust. Just surrender and trust that they are really there contrary to all evidence that says otherwise.

Thanks for writing and I hope this helps a little bit.
