How much thought have you given to speaking with spiritual guides? How do we know they are responding and it is not our own delusions that we hear?
in my case....their image appears in my kutastha <3<3<3 also....i feel their essence.
i can sense if it is my guruji PY....swami rama tirtha.....etc.
i can sense if a friend/lovie comes to me....like my yoga partner....grandfather...i have even felt Jitendra....and so on...

hey Steve !
good question ! I speak to my spiritual guides all the time.
I know it is them and not me as the replies are not from me
Nomaste There is a difference though between communicating with spiritual guides and having them give advice about other people. It is sweet that you have such conversations. As you must know there is also much more that awaits us in spiritual development.

I would wonder just a bit, about others getting messages for persons other than themselves
perhaps their thoughts influence these messages ?
