You are always guided.  You say you do not know your guides, but it is quite the opposite.  You know them so well that you do not realize how they are helping you.  Like the breath you breathe, listening to thoughts in your head comes automatically.  But what if you were to discover that it is your guides who put many of the thoughts into your awareness?  They work tirelessly and quite often without acknowledgment, but that is part of the arrangement.  You pray for guidance and it comes in many forms.  So it may not come from a robed figure who appears in front of you.  Dismiss your ideas of what a guide looks like or feels like or sounds like.  See the gifts before you as what they are:  the answer to your prayers, as help from your unseen helpers.  You are so very loved.  Trust this, continue connecting with higher consciousness, and flow.
