If you are lucky enough to identify the spiritual guide who is watching over you, understand that they cannot interfere with the running of your life. They are the key to your inner self and your own intuition. If they made every decision for you then you would only be as puppets, for your character is built, not from all the good things, but also the disappointments and how you stand up to them.
We talk about knowing your inner self and I can assure you that for every thing that happens, there is a reason. Do you think that, if there were to be no mistakes and no disappointments, this would be a better world? You must remember the Law of Polarity you lose and somebody wins, and sometimes you have to try more times than you want. But then the end result is so much more satisfying.
But if you want a life as a pawn on a chessboard, then you would give up all your rights to the human race and your freedom of choice. All the variety would go out of living. This does not mean you need to go into the wilderness or a monastery or give up all your enjoyment.
It is all the excess of everything that brings discontent. There are enough enjoyable things in the world to please everyone. You dont need to take drugs or drink alcohol or even use tobacco. There is always an aftermath to these that sets its own circle. You lose many of your other senses and forget how to enjoy your existence.
But to clear all these things from your body, you will find a new rebirth will come to you. All of nature puts on a wonderful show, (and?) friends and loved ones will be more open to your attentions, and your body will be able to put up a better resistance to all the pollution. Every day will dawn and you will see all the beauty of the Universe.
