Do you think spirit guides are real, please answer?

Question

I never heard of them before I reas Sylvia brownes books. But a long time ago, I treid something she had in he book, how to get in touch with your your guide..I heard a nice lady voice when I was waking up( I was not dreaming) ...it sounded very clear..still not sure what to think...Do you think you have a spirit guide & why ? thanks

Answer 1

Spirit Guides are as real as Sylvia Browne.

Answer 2

Hearing voices or seeing figures during the transition between sleeping and waking is a very common phenomenon.  They are remembered as real, but were only in the mind.  Often people dream they are awake, have a strange visitation (dream) and then actually wake up.  The mind blends the two into one continuous experience.

  If you do a little research on Sylvia Browne, you will discover she is a fraud extraordinaire.  The fact that she can write a book does not give her credibility.  It's all nonsense.  A crock.  She is a charlatan.

   What is it now? 303 weeks since she agreed to take the Randi challenge?  Go here and get some info and links that will open your eyes to such frauds:  http://www.randi.org/

Answer 3

Sylvia Brown isn't the only one who talks about spirit guides. Yes, I believe they are real.

Answer 4

there could be spirit guides although i have never seen one i'm open to the possibility they are there

Answer 5

yes i do. that's odd that you have heard the voice of a nice lady. over the years i've heard the voice of a lady and have also had dreams of that sort. i had a dream of three ladies in a white house. the woman that i was seeing at the time walked along side the house with me. i went in the house which was glistering white inside and the woman i was with didn't follow. i saw two of the ladies pass (not seeing their face) then one of the ladies turned to me and said, "she's lying to you..." i took it as a dream but didn't act right away instead observed the woman i was seeing. within a week i found out she was lying about something. i quit seeing her as much then within a few months i found out other things that were lies or misleading. if i have a similar type dream i will act on it. since then i've found more out of the nature of these ladies and who they are but that is between me and them.

i think the divine powers have good in mind for each of us but the decision to follow them is up to us... learning how to trust and understand them is a process...

Answer 6

I do not know much about sylvia brown other than she claims to be a psychic. As for the spirit guides, I would like to believe they are real. But believing in them is like believing in any faith/religion-it requires that you believe in it without any definitive proof. So if you believe in spirit guides, believe in them! You are no different then anyone else in the world who is religious.

Answer 7

Ah!  At last, a sensible question on this topic.

Yes, spirit guides are definitely real.  I have substantial, absolutely introvertible proof of their existence.

The best three are:

The Book of Gins and Vodkas: A Complete Guide by Bob Emmons (Hardcover - Sep 22, 1999)

Classic Brandy (Classic Drinks Series) by Nicholas Faith (Hardcover - Sep 2000) – Illustrated

Cognac: The Seductive Saga of the World's Most Coveted Spirit by Kyle Jarrard (Hardcover - Feb 18, 2005)

Answer 8

My opinion languages of the earth are not enough to explain how the spirits matter to us, they are limited, even just our thoughts and state of mind , breath ect. are under control of spirit and they are spirit given to us to be used for the life but we don't realize this every moment. God knows what we think, so we are frankly to share with HIM by meditating or praying. And than about spirit we ourself will experience not by others. And Yes I really agree it guides me. I would like to tell this if anyone on this earth ready to be told.

Answer 9

I personally believe it is possible although i have never seen one myself or even knew anyone in person who has said they have one. I don't take much stock in anyone exploiting the paranormal who are for or against for personal gain. But thats just me.

I do believe in the spirit world from my own experiences so yes i believe a spirit to guide you is indeed possible.

Answer 10

Beware of familiar spirits

Answer 11

Sylvia Browne is one of the biggest frauds out there. So far, speaking objectively and (gasp!) scientifically, there is no evidence for spirits, let alone "spirit guides".

But there are people who believe this stuff is real. Just note well that such a belief is not scientific but religious in nature and isn't based on a rational analysis of experience and observation.

Answer 12

Yes they are real, but they are not something you should be playing around with.  The Bible clearly says to keep away from mediums and people with familiar spirits.  They are demonic forces that should not be trifled with.

Answer 13

Yes I believe spirit guides are real and I have one. He has been with me for my entire life. Maybe that is why I have never felt lonely. I hear what he says like it was on a different channel in my mind and I have mental conversations with him. He never steers me wrong.

Answer 14

Sylvia Brown is psycho. Avoid her books like the plague.

Read "Beware the Night" By Ralph Sarchie. He's a police officer. Good stuff.

You can't just dial that radio at random. You never know what is on the other end. Many without proper discernment have invited in things they shouldn't.

Answer 15

they say most if not all people have an entity with them

Answer 16

Of course, I believe in them. I just don't understand why people connect others who hear voices with a mental decease, just like so many others in the world. Whoever is "out of the normal" has to have a label of what is wrong with them, and I hate that ... stop judging others! You could of probably heard your spirit guide that day, but some other people are right, it may have been a dream and you didn't realize it, or it could of been real ... maybe she was contacting you through a dream. Just be careful, whatever you do. I love watching Sylvia Brown, she's really interesting :) Good luck with everything!

Answer 17

I have experienced a lot of auditory hallucinations when going to sleep and waking up, I dont think its uncommon.

Spirit guides are created by our own minds and reinforced through coincidences.

No, there is no such thing as spirit guides.

Sylvia Browne is one of the biggest fakes in the psychic field.

Without making any opinionated statements about psychic abilities, hers are not real.

She, John Edwards, and a host of other people who perform psychic stuff, actually use classic con-man style techniques, which are easy to learn and implement.

If these people had the ability to prove thier psychic talent, they would in a moment, and the whole field of psychic research would become a legitimate study. A whole new branch of scientific research would open up. It would be big.

Because the techniques are fairly well know as hocus pocus, and slight of hand techniques for making one look psychic, they dont  pay much attention to people like sylvia browne.

She preys on people who do not look critically at what she is saying and leave open the possiblity that she is some kind of super magical psychic woman who knows all.

Answer 18

I have one and she's really cool. Her name is Tikea. She helps me talk to God and answers my questions when I think to ask her. She's always there for me. And, she's really pretty. I can tell her voice from mine in my head cuz it "sounds" different, and it less overt.

And, after years of religious, paranormal, scientific study and formal education on psychology, it makes no sense why EVERY ONE who hears voices would be "crazy". It has nothing to do with mental illness. It's simply a relative perspective to what another sees or cannot.

Answer 19

No, I've never seen any evidence for one.  And if Sylvia Browne said they exist, well, there's your answer - I wouldn't trust her if she said water was wet.  She's a scam artist.

Answer 20

yeah.. their real if really believe! Because if you don't believe they can't reach you through your body & soul... There are many reasons why spirit guide appears. There is something they want to know or explore..:)

Answer 21

Hello,Hello. In 1982, I met my Spirit Guide. His name is Dr. Chang.As a practising Spiritualist I became a Qualified Clairvoyant and Medium. I used to fall asleep, and Dr. Chang would "Come through" me and speak to people.Upon invitation, he spoke through me to a congregation of Christian Churchgoers. He spoke at length answering all their many questions.Later as I progressed, we became a team that "cleared" haunted houses.This we still do. Dr. Chang and my many Spirit helpers are there to assist but not to interfere.We have done this together for the last 25years.One day when it is right for you, you may find your guide, or she may find you.Good Luck!

Answer 22

Supposedly from memory there was usually someone who was guiding me. I guess I didn't always listen to her though.At least once she told me her name was Gabriel (le). Sometimes she would use someone elses body to talk with me in person. Exactly who she or it is I'm not certain. She had told me at least once when I was younger that I was my worst enemy. I guess I was jealous of my older self? Than there is the numbers thing that they do with us.

Answer 23

I'm not sure what you mean by "spirit guides", but there are entities who will assist people in their lives.  If you know how to listen for them, you will hear their suggestions.  You can ask them questions and get answers.  Remember that you are not bound by their suggestions though.  Always use your best judgement.  Besides the benevolent entities, there are also some that may not have your best interests at heart, so you have to think for yourself and make your own decisions.

Not everyone has the patience or interest in advice or guidance, but those who seek guidance will find it.  Keep looking, just keep your wits about you and remember that you are dealing with the unknown.

I haven't read Sylvia Brown or even seen her on TV, so I can't really comment on her personally or how effective her techniques are.
