How do you know your spirit guide is really speaking to you?

Question

I asked my spirit guide's name and he responded:Gabriel. He says this everytime I ask him but for some odd reason I don't believe him. I feel like he's lying ot me. How do you know the spirit you're talking to is really your spirit guide. I never feel threatened when he's around, and I never get any bad vibes from "Gabriel", there's just a part of me that doesn't believe him when he tells me his name. What should I do!!!

I know I'm going to be teased for this question, but I'm hoping there's at least one answerer who's genuinely had this problem before. Thank you!

Answer 1

This isn't teasing, im serious.  see a psychologist, you're having hallucinations.

Hello

Simple you test them, they dont mind.

But you also have to accept that your own beleifs may be a barrier.

You have many guides, so to build a relationship with one or even more is a positive thing & one which you can judge via the sense of truth that you get from it.

Answer 3

that's very interesting...

well, I'll put it this way:  our spirit guides can only communicate with us through our thoughts and sometimes feelings.  if you feel like he was lying, you very well may be right.  that doesn't necessarily make him a bad guide, he may just be bashful!

Answer 4

Wow...if I had a spirit guide. I wish it would guide me to the winning numbers of the lotto.

Answer 5

you're one fortunate girl! it is envious to know that your spirit guide actually told you his name, Gabriel is an angel's name meaning God's messenger. If you believe that your spirit guide is with you then you must trust things that you could discern from your spirit guide. just have faith and don't feel threatened animor and all the bad vibes will go away. Peace

Answer 6

Your swimming in dangerous waters, girl.  But I would trust your instinct that your spirit guide isn't Gabriel.  A benevolant human spirit wouldn't have reason to lie to you, an angel wouldn't do something God has listed as an "abomination", Now what other type of spirit is out there drawn in by people who dabble in the occult and would never give you it's real identity?

Wish you well.

You can ask him how many past life times did he live, and what were his other names?

Does he give you memory of a past life with both of you together? Usually they would or should since he knows you from another time, and usually there would be a message within this memory.....Just wondering~

I counsel my students to ask their Spirit Guides to be present when they meditate in sacred space, saying that only beings of light and love who have your best interests in mind are welcome. If Gabriel is still there, don't be afraid to ask (respectfully) who he is and what he has to teach you. There is an archangel Gabriel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel but I'm not thinking it's that Gabriel. But sweetie, truly: the proof is in the pudding. Ask your Spirit Guides to give you their guidance, wisdom, insight, strength, etc., and if what they give you is anger or fear or hatred, tell them no thanks and then order them to leave. Your attitude is everything. I insist that all my students give a promise to be honest, respectful, tolerant, and humble in their quest for spiritual evolution. Good luck! Hugs and blessings! ~MorningStar

Let me get this straight.  You believe the spirit who has identified himself to you is lying?

I see the whole idea of spirit guides as a New Age imaginary friend for grown ups.  It's a source of comfort, like a rabbit's foot or the perceived source of half of your inner dialog.  As such, I am sure you can imagine how strange this would seem to me that you are inventing an entity that doesn't even fulfill your expectation of what that sort of entity is supposed to do.  You appear to have a neurosis which prevents you from even enjoying the comfort of an imaginary friend.
