Q. What is a guardian spirit?

A. A guardian spirit is your "double" that exists in the afterlife.

Each person has one guardian spirit.

Every human has a guardian spirit known as "guardian spirit". This is not the spirit of an ancestor, but rather a "part of you that remains in the afterlife", essentially your "subconscious mind".
In fact, the human soul is not entirely contained within the physical body. Humans belong to a group called "soul siblings", and they form a team of six, consisting of one main body and five doubles, who reincarnate in a relay-like manner. Therefore, one of the team members from the "past life" that was born just before on Earth takes on the role of the "guardian spirit" for the next person who is born on Earth.

Guardian spirits resemble the person closely.

Your guardian spirit, which is your double and a "soul sibling", looks just like you. If you have a habit of stroking your beard or fiddling with your nails, your guardian spirit has those same habits, and even your way of speaking is the same. When you are passionate about your work, your guardian spirit is also passionate, and when you are sad from a breakup, your guardian spirit is also sad.

Guardian spirits are not omnipotent, but they have a higher level of awareness than people on Earth.

Those who live in the afterlife are somewhat elevated compared to those living in this world, so they can see better than people in this world. Therefore, they send various messages as signals before people in this world stumble. Of course, even though they are called guardian spirits, their level of consciousness is not vastly different from that of the person. If the person's original enlightenment is not high, then the messages from the spirit world are not particularly advanced either. However, it is certain that they possess at least a higher level of awareness than the person living on Earth. Therefore, it is important to live in a way that allows you to receive messages from your own soul siblings who are protecting you.

You can understand the afterlife well!
