Q. What should I do to receive guidance from my guardian spirit?

A. Please ask clearly. Prayers will definitely reach your guardian spirit.

Guardian spirits have a life in the afterlife.

Humans on earth tend to become arrogant, thinking, "If I have a guardian spirit, they should come to help me immediately when I'm in danger," or "Since my guiding spirit is a mass of love and compassion, they should come to drive away evil spirits." However, based on my experiences over nearly thirty years, guardian spirits and guiding spirits usually work in the afterlife and come to this world only at key moments. You must understand that they have a life in the afterlife. For example, when you are pressing the keys on a calculator at work, your guardian spirit is not pressing them with you. Also, your guiding spirit is not watching you all day long. Guardian and guiding spirits observe you in a broad sense, like a parent watching their child run in a park, but they do not give detailed instructions like "go right" or "go left," leaving a certain degree of discretion to humans on earth.

Prayers will definitely reach your guardian spirit.

Therefore, if you feel that you need protection from your guardian or guiding spirit, you should clearly ask for it. For example, when a child playing in a sandbox calls out "Daddy" or "Mommy," the parents come right away. Similarly, guardian and guiding spirits will come quickly if they feel needed. In cases like "I want protection from evil spirits right now" or "I want to purify the spiritual realm for reflection," please make a proper request to your guardian and guiding spirits. If you are a member of Happy Science, it is good to use the "Prayer to Guardian and Guiding Spirits." What you think in your heart will almost instantly reach the world of the afterlife. This prayer takes only about thirty seconds to a minute, but while praying, your guardian and guiding spirits will come close to you. As a practice for reflection and prayer, it is good to recite the "Prayer to Guardian and Guiding Spirits" first. You can recite this prayer every day. Doing so will further strengthen your sense of unity with your guardian and guiding spirits. However, when praying to your guardian and guiding spirits, you must at least have the feeling of "correcting your posture and reflecting on yourself."
* The "Prayer to Guardian and Guiding Spirits" is included in the scripture "Membership Edition: Correct Heart Sutra," which is given upon joining Happy Science.

You can understand the afterlife well!
