Spirit operates in mysterious ways, frequently defying our beliefs. So how do we make sense of that? We start by trying to understand Spirit from their point of view. Not from fear. Not from hierarchy. But from Truth.
When we work with Spirit, we’re not submitting to authority; we connect to the highest level of consciousness available to us. We are awakening. We are expanding. We are stepping into who we really are.
Working with Spirit means letting go. Letting go of what you thought “should” be. Letting go of inherited ideas. Letting go of control.
Soul evolution does not happen when we cling tightly to outdated paradigms. It happens when we are willing to see things as they actually are, not just how we wish they were.
I teach spirituality, but what I truly specialize in is helping people work with Spirit Guides. One reason I began this work is simple. I wanted to know the secrets of the universe by accessing divine wisdom. I wanted to understand everything from esoteric truths to the evolution of human consciousness.
Deep in my bones, I knew that if I could communicate with my Guides, I could access that knowledge. And I was right. Kind of.
When I started asking my Guides questions, I noticed something interesting. Sometimes they answered, and sometimes they didn’t. Especially for questions about the future. That used to frustrate me until I realized a deeper truth.
Spirit’s entire mission is to empower us. Not to fix us. Not to command us. But to help us grow. Their guidance is not there to make us dependent. It is there to remind us of our own strength.
Spirit Guides offer healing, insight, and clarity, but only in ways that uplift us, stretch our perspective, or help us align more fully with our soul’s truth.
And here is what that means in real life. You are in charge of your life. Not Spirit. Not God. Not angels.
Yes, you can receive help and guidance. But Spirit will not run your life for you. Giving up your power is the opposite of growth. That is the deeper meaning behind spiritual empowerment.
Many people come to spirituality believing they are “answering a calling.” But after decades of working with Spirit, I can tell you something important. There is no calling. Spirit does not select a chosen few. They do not crown prophets. They do not tell you that you are “the one.”
You choose this path, then Spirit simply meets you where you are.
We often have such a backwards view of spirituality that it ends up disempowering us. People believe Spirit is their boss. They believe God is counting their every sin. They believe angels will dictate their choices.
But that is not how Spirit works. Spirit Guides, Angels, Gods, and Goddesses are not here to control you. They are here to assist you. To walk beside you. To lift you up when you forget who you are.
Through religious conditioning, we learned divine beings should tell us what to do, how to act, and how to live. That belief is a real problem. It strips us of the very things we were born with: agency, desire, and free will.
Therefore, people often ask, “If God is real, why is the world the way it is?” The answer is that we are the creators of how we live on Earth, not God.
Children are starving not because of divine failure, but because we have created systems that allow that to happen. But just as we created those systems, we can change them. We can build something better. And Spirit will help us do it.
Spirit Guides are with us to co-create heaven on Earth. But we must ask. We must take part. Do not wait for divine permission to be who we already are.
Even if you do not believe in God, you still have beliefs about what God is, what Spirit is, and about who has authority over your life.
If you want to grow spiritually, you need to examine those beliefs. Ask yourself: Do I think Spirit controls me? Do I feel powerless in my life? Do I believe in fate more than freedom?
Those quiet little assumptions often block the deep connection you are seeking. You don’t have to change them, but simply being aware of them will help you navigate overcoming them.
I have met so many kind, spiritual people who still feel like they have no power. No choice. No agency. They are waiting. Waiting for destiny to show up. Waiting for Spirit to give them a purpose. Waiting to see what their calling is.
But here is the Truth. Your calling is something you decide. You are the voice of Spirit, made manifest in a human life.
So, what is Spirit actually here to do? Spirit is here to help you become the highest and truest version of yourself. They are here to guide, not to govern. To partner with you, not overpower you. To reflect your own light, not dim or control it.
Every step of the way, they are whispering the same Truth. You have the power to choose. You have the power to create. You have the power to change the world.
Your empowerment is sacred to Spirit Guides. It is what will change the Earth into the place we all know it can become. Take them as your partners in life and then ask them for help as you follow your heart. Whatever you desire to do, who you desire to love and how you desire to live, they desire to help you with.
