Batolo's Last Incarnate

What is a Spirit Guide ?

Many know me as Batolo. Later, I will discuss in detail how I became a spirit guide and what it means to be one.

Let me start my story with details from my last incarnation. It happened many years ago, so long ago that the idea of an airplane was unfamiliar to people of my time.

I was born in the region now known as Africa, where I lived with my relatives and tribe members in the mountains. The trees and animals of the woods were my first friends.

At a young age, my grandfather taught me to love and respect all living things. He often said that they were God's creations and gifts to all His children.

Family of Healers

My grandfather and father were healers who possessed spiritual knowledge unknown to most people. They had what you would call a sixth sense.

Engaging with the spiritual realm and invoking the spiritual guardians of the material realm, including both plant and animal spirits, was not merely an extraordinary experience; it was part of our daily lives. Each morning began with rituals that honored these spiritual protectors, inviting their guidance and presence as we navigated our day-to-day activities. The whisper of the wind through the trees and the presence of wildlife around us served as reminders of the interconnectedness and sacredness of all living beings. For us, these connections were as routine as eating and sleeping, forming a profound part of our understanding of the world and our place within it.

Besides respecting spirits of nature, my grandfather taught me to love and respect all earthly things. 

He would say that all plants, trees, and waters were special creations of God. They possess their own spirits, which facilitate healing.

Becoming A Healer

Apart from learning the various aspects of survival, the secrets or mysteries of the spiritual realm were paramount to my schooling.

Although I did not possess material wealth or a scholarly education, as defined by your modern standards, I was blessed with divine guidance of spiritual mysteries and comprehension.

I became a healer at an extremely young age. My paternal grandfather performed my initiation.

My spiritual growth and divine reasoning progressed as I continued to receive more guidance from the spiritual realm.

People from neighboring villages would travel to our village to attain healing.

My entire life was devoted to doing God's work.

Old Age

I lived to be an old man. I enjoyed a peaceful and fulfilling life, content in my service to God and spirits.

In my last moments on earth, loving faces surrounded me.

Entering the Spirit Plane

When I stepped out of my old and tired body, long gone relatives and spirit guides were waiting for me.

We traveled to a high mountaintop in the heavens or spiritual realm.

There, I entered a purification center. 

Purification Center

The Purification Center is where the soul is purged of all remaining residues from recent life on earth.

I do not know how long I was there, since time, as you know it, does not exist in the spiritual world.

Upon completing the process, I was reunited with my relatives and friends who had been in the spirit world for some time.

After a while, I received a notification. I was selected to undergo training.

Spirit Guide Training

My demeanor during my last incarnation seemed to have made me eligible for spirit guide training.

During that lifetime, my openness, willingness, and acceptance of spirits helped my soul acquire a higher spiritual enlightenment.

My training was profound. I was one of many in training.

When the training was completed, we were assigned to different groups.

One senior was appointed to each group.

A senior's job is to drop off novice spirit guides at their destination.

My Destination and Assignment

Upon arrival to the earth realm, I was taken to a hospital. A mother was about to give birth.

As l looked around, I saw multiple spirit guides surrounding the mother and child.

They were spirit guides and deceased relatives of the mother and child.

My assignment was to be part of the newborn child's spiritual team.

It was the beginning of an engaging and tremendous process.

Lost Souls

In addition to spirits of light, there were also impure spirits.

These entities are earth-bound souls that remain attached to the earthly realm. Many of these lost souls wander the earth plane without any real purpose, while others refuse to leave because they believe they have unfinished business.

These spirit beings were kept at a distance by a powerful protective shield created by light beings to protect the mother and child.

The Child

Throughout the child's growing years, I stayed vigilant of everything that was happening.

My training was non-stop. I was learning more and more from senior spirit guides. 

Although several spirit guides were assigned to the child, there was one principal guide.

This guide was above all of us and had a history of many lifetimes with the incarnate spirit of the child.

Several successful attempts at communication were made with the child during her childhood.

Sometimes she would cry; other times, she remained calm.

It was during the nighttime, when all the lights were turned off, and the spirit would manifest in front of her, that she would commence to cry uncontrollably.

Communication between children and spirits is much easier.

The reason is that children's conscious minds are still innocent and uncorrupted.

My Role in the Beginning

She was very young when she started communicating with guides or experiencing physical sensations coming from spirits. 

When she began incorporating spirit energy, I remained in the background.

As she continued her spiritual practice and connected more with her guides, the relationship between the medium and guides became stronger and more powerful. 

My role was to contribute, along with the other spirit guides, spiritual energy as needed.

The spirit team would unite to create a powerful energy field whenever spiritual work was performed.

An energy field is necessary to protect the medium and the recipient from negative forces.

Spirits Working Together as one Energy Force

Although one spirit was allowed to incorporate the body at a time, it was the energy of many entities of light that produced the results.

Whenever you see a medium working with their spirit guides, remember that the guides are part of a team working together to protect both the medium and the receiver.

Initial Connection

Then, one day, I was given permission to connect with the body.

“May Olofi be here. May God's peace be here…My name is Batolo,” was the opening message.

The girl, now a young woman, was semi-conscious.

A semi-conscious state means that the medium is somewhat aware of what is happening, but cannot control the situation. She is like the person who listens to someone else's conversation without being able to offer her opinion.

Most of the time, the medium remembers little or nothing of the interaction.

The more my energy connected with hers, the easier it became.

The spiritual cord that connected us was getting stronger.

She became the mouthpiece through which my words came out.

At first, the communication was a bit fuzzy. In fact, it still is. However, it is improving.

Presently, I am still linked to the medium and maintain a strong connection with her; she feels connected to me as well.

I take great pleasure in communicating with my incarnate brothers and sisters who are currently living on Earth. In addition, I value collaborating with other spiritual guides as we work together to help individuals strengthen their connection with God. In addition, our goal is to provide guidance, support, and inspiration to help people navigate their spiritual journeys and deepen their understanding of divine love and direction.

My Present Role as a Spirit Guide

My role is to bring joy and laughter to people while helping them see the true essence of their lives.

So much sadness and depression roam the atmosphere that people have forgotten that life is a gift from God to be appreciated and enjoyed.

Some have even forgotten how to smile or laugh.

For spirits of light to alleviate some of the world's pain and misery and lead God's children toward the Divine Guiding Light, a working medium is needed.

The medium is the vehicle we utilize to accomplish our goal.

The Different Roles of Spirit Guides

There are different types of spirit guides, each performing different roles.

There is a difference between spirit guides of an active medium and spirit guides of a non-active medium.

Spirit guides of an active medium are responsible for protecting and guiding the medium, as well as others seeking spiritual assistance.

These spirit guides tend to assist people with the many complexities of everyday life and with understanding their life mission.

The purpose of spirit guides of a non-active medium is to guide and protect the person assigned to them.

How Do I Describe My Energy?
Am I Old or Young?

Some individuals want to know if my energy is that of  an old man.

The answer is quite simple. I am neither old nor young. I am energy.

Spirits present themelves in many forms. I choose to present myself as an old African man because it was my last incarnation where I reached a higher level of spiritual enlightenment.

On certain occassions, I present myself as a young African man.

Whether I come as an old or young man, it does not make a difference.

The aim is to present ourselves in a friendly and approachable manner.

We tend to present ourselves in human form for the benefit of the visual medium.

It makes it easier for the medium to distinguish who is who.

For other kinds of mediumship, other means are used.

Final Message

I leave you with a simple message.

Remember never to do harm to yourself or others. The harm you do or negative thoughts you send out to others will return to you tenfold.

Respect God, yourself and others.

Remember that negative emotions are part of your learning process. Learn from them and let them go.

An individual who holds on to negative emotions is a prisoner unable to move forward.

Cleanse the body and mind, and allow the soul to grow.

Become the wind that blows the sand; not the sand that waits for the wind to produce some form of change.

May the peace of God/Olofi be with you.

This is not the end of Batolo. It is just the beginning.
