I genuinly don't know.

I would normally do my research but this time it is a question to you?

What do you know of spiritual guides. Are they real or it is just an old bedtime story that people are clinging to just to feel safe.

As i said, i really don't know. I tool liberty of not doing my research on the subject. 

I'd apprceate your thoughts on the subject or even better share your experience.
