Thread: Do you believe in Spirit Guides?

And after all this questioning, what happened?

I don't believe in them, unless you're speaking of dream guides.

I personally believe Spirit Guides/Dream Guides are a manafestation of your subconcious mind. Just my opinion, others have other views.

BTW, Welcome on board!

I don't believe in spirit guides per se, but I do believe in angels and fallen angels (demons). A believer in the Judeo-Christian God has at least one, and usually more, angels there to protect them spiritually. Non-believers lack this protection and are much more open to being influenced, attacked, or even possessed by demons. These spirit beings may be misconstrued by some as being spirit guides.

It's interesting that you mention that! Because I believe that believers in the Judeo-Christian God lack the protection of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Without his love and guidance you are vulnerable to be influenced, attacked, or even possessed by demon meatballs!

Indeed. But I suppose that is why I eat the meatballs, so I can digest them and render them harmless to me.

This thread is amazing.

Agreed, it's just barely not qualified to be put in the R/S section.

More like SB.

To answer the OP question, I don't believe in spirit guides. Dream guides, in my opinion, are more like souped-up DC's. They have the quality of being "aware," more so than regular DC's.

EDIT: had to post this...

Isn't a spirit guide to do with Native American religion? Being British I don't believe in that stuff but I do believe in God and I believe you can communicate with God in your dreams just like you can through prayer in the waking world.

My definition of a Dream Guide is not as super as everybody. It's just another DC, I believe.

Well... I think every dream character is a part of our (sub-)consiousness, and if you put all your believing and expecting of a Dream/Spirit guide together and meet that person, it would be a dream character who enbodies your whole subconsiousness, or maybe all the wisdom you have, or all the intelligence or whatever.

Therefor I do not think it is anything supernatural, allthough I highly respect other opinions at that point, but instead I think it is just a part of your brain, that can nevertheless help and guide you

And by the way guys, there is indeed a Religion/Spirituality Discussion Forum where you can discuss your believes in whatever has nothing to do with dreaming (like angels and fallen angels or fallen meatballs and spaghetty...)
