Petitioning the Karmic Board and for Spiritual Advisors

Just like on this side of the veil we often may decide to hire an attorney to advise us, or a professional marketer to tell us what we need to do, we often decide to engage the services of spiritual advisers.

Almost everyone comes to the earth plane with at least one spiritual adviser, guardian angel or flame to guide them.  Normally there are 7 (there is that number again!) that take on different positions of service.

1.  The Gatekeeper :  The guide that will guard your doorway in not allowing interference with your spirit or being.

2.  The Messenger Guide - This guide gives you messages like "you left your keys in your old purse."

3.  The Health or Dr. Guide - Gives information on your physical well being to you to others that can help you.  (If you are sick you may want reach out to say hey! :))

4.  Guide of Vocation - This could be someone who has a similar experience in the vocation of your choosing

5.  Money or Financial Guide - Don't blame him for your troubles! He'll help you if asked with financial issues in your life.  Not everyone has one.  If this is something you feel you'd like just ask.  Remember guides are there to help "guide" you, not do it for you.

6.  Spiritual Guide - This could be a guide that has experience in the religion you have chosen or someone with similar belief patterns as you.

7.  Helper Guide/Teaching - Inspires the guided to new realms of belief and helps reveal patterns of thought.

When you are first starting out in spiritual studies you may call on them by name; such as "I call on my Gatekeeper to protect my door as I meditate".  Later, when that guide reveals themselves to you, you can call on them specifically by name.  Their function is to help guide you, not do anything for you.  They can make suggestions, and give you advice but it is ultimately your choice in the doing.  If you are anything like me,  you'll probably think you know better and make a few mistakes not listening before you realize they can probably see a little more than you can on this side of the veil.

The Karmic Board is comprised of other individuals and bodhisattvas that help you decide the path of your life.  There is more to this, such as the Book of Life containing all of your past lives and events in them that can be reviewed.  Sometimes this book will and should be taken into consideration.  For here we are concerned with the path of the "soul" not the personality.

You may want to petition the Karmic Board for different reasons.  Most often you will already be in contact with them in your sleep state if you are here on a mission of service with your flame.  Asking for their guidance and direction is admirable and encouraged, however, should never be taken lightly.  These beings are highly evolved and although we like to think we might interact with those of the spiritual world the same as we do here, they are quite a different story.  For as much love as they can bestow, they also carry the power behind it.  It's been said that the Archangel Michael, who was created out of love and in service to the father, wielded the devil himself out of heaven.  He is both powerful and loving equally and here is a wonderful demonstration that loving does not mean you are a doormat.  They do not put up with any foolishness and have had lifetimes of experiences to know every delusion one of us can try and fool ourselves with.

But say you want to receive their guidance or the guidance of a spiritual guide.  The first step would be to set your intention.  What are you looking for exactly?  What do you intend to do with the information and how do you feel it will assist you with your growth?  Then decide in your mind that you are sending your request to the universe.  You can do this before you go to sleep, asking for a dream to reveal the answer to you and that you will awake and remember when it is received or you can ask during a meditation and see what transpires in feelings, pictures and/or thoughts.  You can also write the Karmic Board a letter then burn the letter visualizing it being sent to the universe.

With all of these avenues it is best to pray for protection and visualize yourself enveloped with pure white light.  Spiritual practices can take us to the highest of highs, but if we are not protective of ourselves you could end up on the lowest of lows.  Be conscious of your decisions.
