522- Is a presentiment always a warning from a protector spirit?
“A presentiment can be the inner and secret counsel of a spirit who wishes you well. It can also be an intuition about a choice made prior to incarnation – it is the voice of instinct. Before incarnating, a spirit has knowledge of the principal phases of its coming existence, i.e. the kind of trials in which it will be engaged. When these are of a marked character, it preserves a type of impression in its inner consciousness, and this impression – the voice of instinct – awakens when the moment arrives. It then becomes a presentiment.”
523- Presentiments and the voice of instinct are always somewhat vague. What should we do when we are uncertain?
“When in doubt, invoke your good spirit or pray to God, our supreme Creator, to send you a divine messenger: one of us.”
524- Do the warnings of our protector spirits have our moral conduct as their sole objective, or our conduct regarding the things of our private life as well?
“Everything. They seek to enable you to live in the best way possible, but you frequently shut your ears to their good warnings and you thus make yourselves unhappy through your own fault.”
Our protector spirits help us with their counsels through the voice of conscience, which they make resound in our inner being. However, since we do not always give them the importance they deserve, they offer us more direct counsels by using the persons around us. Examine the various happy or unhappy circumstances of your life and you will see that on many occasions you received counsels, which you did not always take advantage of, but which would have saved you much trouble if you had listened to them.
