Two things im confused about

[zorgblar]

1.What is your higher self?
2.What is a spirit guide?

[Awakened_Mind]

A spirit guide is an entity in higher dimensions that assist or guide you with certain issues. What they help you with depends largely on the individual. They won't appear unless you actually require assistance. They don't have time for much small talk.

As for your higher-self, some may believe it as you at your highest point of conscious awareness. Existing in eternity. Personally I don't think we know enough about the human psyche to say that it is 'higher'. It may just be a side of ourselves, our spiritual side, that our culturally defined ideas have lead us to ignore. So we alienate a part of who we are from ourselves. People may then begin to dissolve these culturally created boundaries and interact with it. In this view we call it 'the higher-self' because it is an aspect of mind that is better integrated into nature than the current model.

There is no such thing in a strict sense of the term, as your higher or lower self.

You are you.

But... you, from your fully expanded consciousness, decided to focus in on physical existance for a lifetime, which is a very narrow focus of awareness.

Think of it as looking through a telescopic lens... backwards.

Your full awareness is broadband, but you have selected narrowband for the duration of your time here.

Afterwards, after a period of re-adjustment, you will engage your full awareness once again.
