“[Through our Inner Guide]... we do not pester the divine about small matters, but only about matters pertaining to the purification, liberation and salvation of the soul”
Every single person on the planet has an Inner Guide, an invisible force that supports, guides and protects you as you go about your business.
Your Inner Guide knows more than you do, and can see further ahead than you. He or she is a conscious spiritual being, connected to you through love and/or duty and are deeply invested in helping you to learn, develop and grow.
This Guide acts as the bridge to God and to the Inner Realms, and everyone is able to make contact with their own Guide.
No two Guides are the same, and our Inner Guides are rarely famous deceased gurus or luminaries from the past, nor are they angels, fairies, dragons or unicorns. Inner Guides are not aspects of our higher self nor are they Guardian Angels. They are (or were) human and are therefore able to guide and direct our actions in this lifetime.
Our Guides never leave us, and never stop trying to help us. But without knowledge and practice we can so easily distance ourselves from them.
“Everyone knows that you need a guide to climb the peaks of high mountains. In the world of sports, everybody recognizes the usefulness and even the necessity of a guide. But when it comes to their inner life, many people think they have no need of a guide. In the inner life, we are much more at risk of getting lost, of being crushed in avalanches or of falling over precipices, and yet it is quite extraordinary how many people think they can get along on their own, without a guiding hand. Yes, that is the reason we come across so many sick, unbalanced and mentally disturbed people: they did not want a guide and got lost in their inner maze.”
Full knowledge of, and good conversation with, your Inner Guide is the work of a lifetime, but that journey can begin right here, right now.

Rather than marking an ending by exclaiming “I have met my Guide!” this exercise is the first of many necessary steps along the path of soul evolution.
“Our Guides are connected to us through love, or duty”
“A caged bird, after throwing itself in all directions against the walls of its cage, is finally convinced about the impossibility of any immediate escape, and merely waits. And this is what we ourselves are doing. Firstly we try in every way to tune our earth to our wishes. We wait in the astral for the renovation of the cells of our bodies, only to realise that the new body is the same prison as the old one. We try all kinds of inventions and improvements on the physical plane, travel through many countries, and all the time remain slaves. Only after many of these experiences do we begin to think that it is the bird itself which is in need of self-transformation.”
