Just as angels are real, guides are real as well.  You could not get through your earthly lives without us.  You feel lost enough at times as it is, do you not?  You pray for help, and we are here, if you would only acknowledge us.  Unlike angels, we have lived as humans, experiencing the self-same joys and sorrows, and disappointments that you do.  We are well familiar with the human story.  Trust that we are here.  Call us.  Ask for a name and we will give it to you.  Then ask for a sign and we will give you that as well.  What we want more than anything is for you to find peace and love and to expand these qualities.  It is why you are here and why we are as well.  We are all in this together, for there is only one story that ultimately leads back Home to where this is no story, but only pure Love.
