You cannot look into face of God or converse with angels and not be changed forever. Once you get beyond craziness of idea that you're actually in contact with something divine, you settle down into something cosmic and beautiful. You are truly one with Force and are able to flow with it instead of fighting and struggling against life. It's not something that can be taught in church or read in an inspirational article. You have to experience it. You have to know Buddha as your personal friend and to see Jesus as his twin teaching same lessons. Until you know what it means to be electrical life force that is true love, you won't ever really understand this. You might be able to ask to be connected and shown or maybe you have to wait and it comes to find you.... I'm not sure. I just know that when it happens, you are never able to stop being an angel in a human's body. You become holy and sacred but still flawed and human. It's a life-changing shift that cannot be faked.

If you see someone puffing up like a peacock because they've got a personal hotline to God's ear or they've gone to holy school of spiritual egotism, you'll be able to tell if they're really spiritual or not by their ego. The truly spiritual don't stand on their tiptoes crowing on and on about how spiritual they are. They are much too busy being spiritual to have time to broadcast it. Some are sent to spread a spiritual message but they won't claim that they themselves are to be worshipped or admired for being messenger. Heaven won't demand that they be given a Rolex. Is there a deep loving twinkle in their eyes? Are they peaceful when presenting their opinions? Are they obsessive about a humanitarian cause? Are they working diligently to save planet? Are they really working or just talking about how cool they are for getting a peak at Heavens?

Are you dependant on them? What I mean by this is that if they are an emotional security blanket then you've probably made them up in your mind. Real guardian angels and such are here to help you to believe in yourself, not to make you completely dependant on them for your every thing. If you can't make a personal decision without your guides and they allow that kind of neediness, then they aren't real. If you require they're presence in order to create your art, play your music, or to write your great masterpiece, then chances are you don't have enough self-esteem and you created a third party in your mind to give credit to. That's not same as occasionally co-creating with them but being able to also work independently. If you are unable to do your spiritual works or offer your gifts to world without their assistance, then they are probably not real.

Finally, upon meeting with spirits and building a strong mentally healthy relationship with them where neither is a control freak bossing other around and both are free to come and go as they please. Then last thing to consider is impact that relationship has on you. Are you called to do some sort of spiritual work? Are you shown how to give some kind of a gift of love to world whether it's music, writing, speaking, art, cleaning up planet or whatever else? Most people who come into contact with divine find themselves with some sort of an undying need to spread love and joy around planet. Real angels, fairies, and spirit guides teach us how to give our greatest gifts to world. They empower us with self belief that we have always had whatever is needed to make a difference in world. If relationship isn't spiritual and inspirational, then it's doubtful that it's really spirit guides or angels that you're talking to.

It is universally understood that angels, fairies, spirit guides, or whatever other name your culture gives to those messengers of love and light, it is understood that they come from God. Again, it doesn't matter if you call it God, Mother Nature, Light, Force or whatever name you like. These little spirits are divine helpers from heavens come to cheer you on and to help you find a spiritually divine path. They are not owned by us and cannot be bossed around. They have no control over us and cannot boss us around without our consent. They can work amazing magic when co-creating with us, but they are here to show you your own magic and divinity within you. Once that's done, they tend to slip back into shadows to allow you to shine your own light on your little corner of world.
