One of the interesting and often important aspects of spiritual growth is that we are guided - although we may not be aware of that.
In the Pagan world, that may come from Deities of Service and Tutelage (which is often still less accurately, IMO, termed Matron/Non-Binary/Patron/Tutelary Deity), but many Pagans also accept the notion of Guides - or, as I term it in the interests of accuracy and safer use of language, BPM Guides.
That guidance is not “set in stone” - we have free will, and we can choose to ignore “good” advice just as we can choose to follow “bad” advice.
But in addition to that, our Guides tend to be those most appropriate to our level of spiritual growth.
To illustrate that with an analogy, you don’t use University professors to teach kindergarten.
I have come across some people in spiritualist circles who try to claim their “Guides” told them to be bigots. Now, if that isn’t an outright lie, it may be incompetence - willingly allowing themselves to be misled by fake or nonBPM guides because it is more comfortable for them to be set in their ways of hate and exclusion-to-maintain-self-perceived-social-status.
But there is the issue of level of awareness of BPM Guides, particularly for those who will - foolishly - only accept guidance from former relatives.
To illustrate this problem, I used the following diagram from my glossary definition of guides:
It clearly is possible for some incarnate people to be more advanced spiritually than some Guides.
This is often begrudgingly accepted by those bigots (which is someone who fits the definition of unevolved and/or lacking in growth spiritually) that such people may be walk-ins or some other excuse they use to maintain their comfortable-to-them ways of hate and exclusion-to-maintain-self-perceived-social-status (also termed spiritual bypassing, a notorious problem amongst those who ignore issues such as structural racism).
The points remain:
Having emphasised that basic level piece of knowledge, there is another point to consider - and this, IMO, needs to be kept in mind by those in the UFO/UAP/ET field who have accepted that one of the main messages of BPM ETs is improving (“raising” or “broadening”) our consciousness:
those who guide us are also receiving guidance (NOT step-by-step orders!) - whether from their Higher Selves, or more evolved entities, as that is a principle which applies all the way up to ... let’s term it “Source”.
The BPM ETs who are trying to get humanity to be more evolved, including nonviolent and NOT bigotted (exclusionary), also have their spiritual lessons to learn - although those lessons may be far beyond our comprehension.
Those ETs and other spiritual guide should not be viewed as deity-like or considered to be owed unquestioning/unthinking (toxic) loyalty ... but they are also under no obligation to provide particular assistance or comfort when we face the consequences of rejecting their good advice (although they may choose to do so of their free will).
They know more than us and/or have a better perspective than us ... but that does NOT make them all-knowing nor an always perfect Deity.
Possible flaws
Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:
- there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;
- I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
