Guardian Angels or Guides -
Could We Be Confusing The Two?

Guardian angels have always been very clear to me - a spirit sent from a higher power to help protect us. I've even seen mine on one occasion. It was pretty clear to me at the time who it was, I just instinctively knew it was my guardian angel.

What I didn't know was what he was trying to tell me and I'm not a hundred percent certain I know exactly now either.

My sister and I had a car accident shortly after the visit. We were fine so I don't know if the visit was a warning about the accident itself, there was nothing I changed that day that would have made the outcome any different. I'm starting to think it was about something else - something I'm not getting even now.

I do know he seemed extremely sad. I remember thinking "You sure got your work cut out for you with me, my friend". And he did, I was constantly in peril.

I think I know the times when my guardian angel intervened on my behalf, there was a certain feel to them.

There are other times though that I've felt an influence and I wouldn't call it my guardian angel, I just don't get the same impression from it. I don't know what I would call it -- it always seemed to me to be something too illusive for me to recognize or understand.

Now that you've mentioned it though, I'm wondering if it could indeed be myself. Maybe I've been my own guide? It makes sense since my old self would know what mistakes I've made and would maybe be trying to nudge me in the right direction. I have felt on occasion like I've been steered in another direction from the one I wanted to go in.

Interesting concept, and one I'm going to pay closer attention to.
