Helpers are brought into your life as needed. Yes, you could learn much on your own simply by attuning to higher consciousness, but higher consciousness shows up as guides and teachers, both in human form and non-physical.  Use them.  Greet them with delight and love and appreciation, but do not lose sight that they are made of the self-same love-stuff as you.  It is a fine balance beam to walk, this knowing you are the expression of the one Spirit and yet seeing others around you.  Do not slip back into viewing others as separate.  Take it one step at a time and dance with the expressions of Love that appear in your awareness.  It is all part of the learning and fun.
