I for one feel that the Guides are in contact with us all the time, but that we are not aware of it. I don't think that they are Inside of us, I think they are connected to us, and that the connection is there inside of us. And this is a subtle difference, but none the less, it is distinct.
When we have more shamanic experiences it is perhaps easy to forget the time before contact, before we actually became aware of the ongoing presence of the Guides. So, I don't think we should minimize the difficulty of opening to the guidance of the Universe, no matter the form. Yes we sometimes make it more difficult than it really is, but that is part of the process. When we finally figure out what is happening, that the contact is there, we sort of understand why we were struggling, and that is part of our biggest spiritual lesson.
At least, this is my own experience and belief.
