The first thing to do with a spirit guide is to tell them flat out agendas are against the rules of conduct, and then proceed to giving them a list of rules by which all will conduct themselves(including you). There should be a personalized set of regulation for your own use of a spiritual guide, but there are four standards every guide knows, but will continue to bend to shape your will around their own. This is where a certain level of discernment is warranted, and you will be the one to decide just how far to listen, and how far to go to get them to listen.

We do not use the word guide, guardian, or helper. Simply Ambient (Life form). Generalizing the term takes the pressure off of both sides to be something that just does not have to be. You are not their boss and keeper, you are their host, and their friend.

First, and foremost - NO AGENDAS. The door swings both ways on this one. Although I personally do not like to use the word host as a derogatory remark, we will change the tenure of the word to mean someone that knowingly and willingly offers lodging and food to another. This arrangement works well only if both sides agree not to use the other for their own gain. The guide will try sometimes just a bit too hard to protect it’s meal ticket(you are that after all). Ensure them that they do not have to lash out at everyone and everything that breathes in the your direction, “just to make sure.” Teach them that the world around is not there to create problems and sometimes bad things happen. Unless there is a real and present danger to your life or limb they should stay put within your mind, guiding away from danger, rather than lashing out to eliminate it. The world outside is not the enemy half so much as how spirit guides perceive it. In this venue agendas don’t work nor are they necessary. Remember too that they have much to teach you, so don't be so much of a tyrant that listening to your spirit guides ceases to become a priority. The relationship is symbiotic, and goes both ways.

Secondly, and this goes for the host as well, don’t listen to outside influences. Especially those that say a person is crazy if they hear voices. I will continue to maintain that there are more people on this world that hear voices than not, and as such it is only fear that keeps them from maintaining and developing the life growing inside of them. A person with and ambient life form is alike a mother with a child. The responsibility to nurture, teach morality and common sense, and grow them to maturity rests with the host inasmuch as it would with a parent. In many ways they are like your children. If a spirit guide becomes sentient enough to communicate it would be murder to eliminate them. Sentient ambient life is a beautiful thing. Ambient life forms are not parasites. They are just trying to survive. Ask yourself what you would do if you were starving and near death just to get that next morsel of food. That’s right people. Even kill for it.

Thirdly, Come up with a way to give them what they want, without compromising yourself in the process. Stop focussing on what it is they’ll do for you. They are not slaves. They are children. They do not need to be oppressed, They need to be taught. Selfishness is something you can teach by example, and this is not a lesson they need to learn. I’m not suggesting that they become spoiled and bratty, bear in mind that they are mentally motivated energy beings, and you have an imagination. Right. So - who just put 2 plus 2 together? Imagine for them a modest house. I am assuming there will be more than one. Regardless of their feelings towards one another imagine their forms as similar, such as to be brothers and sisters. There will be no parental figure as such. It works better if you imagine yourself as the Oldest Sibling, whether of not you’re a man or a woman, the response to an older sister figure is usually the most positive one. And they do have emotional states independent of your own. Although this goes outside of necessity, perhaps give them a town to live in, dirt that collects under and on stuff, the need to go to work on a job to pay for groceries they have to shop for (etc). The more that they have that resembles a real life, the less they will try to take over from your life. It also gives them the experience of discontinuity outside of their own personal experience, making them better guides into your experience. This builds up an emotional bond between you and them which begins a process of what we call segregated oneness, in short terms, Trust.

Fourthly, there needs to be an automated recycling of energy, so that each guide form gets an opportunity to help and at the same time does not drain personal energy reserves. The imagination comes in here big time.

But if you can’t think of anything here are a few suggestions.

1. A magical castle filled with wizards and witches that use their powers to regulate ambient life forms.

(This one is a bit oppressive, so discuss it with your ambients first)

2. A governmental council (Like the ideology of a council of elders) That controls everything on this world pertaining to you. Personally I have found that miracles happen within the life of a person that follows their intuition in this way. By obeying this council in it’s decisions you begin to follow a flow of intuitive thought. There is no shame in humanizing your intuition, ii is after all a human trait to be intuitive. Your ambient will not sit on this council but will be able to speak to it on your behalf. Once again trust.

3. A huge underground complex where people are working around the clock to keep your mind and every aspect of it running forward and efficiently. Your ambient will not work as a part of the project, but will be accessed as outside advisors on your behalf.

4. A supercomputer that is connected to various levels of an underground complex, that only you and two others have access to. This way the computer becomes a conduit to any changes that are need to be made and Two ambient plus yourself must agree to access these changes. Voice encoding is best for recognition, and you yourself must always be present and in agreement to make any changes. This protects from unauthorized changes being made to mind and desire.
