I think Jesus is my spirit guide...
So like y'all might think I'm the craziest b*tch here, but I did this protection ritual and meditation and I focused on the flame like the lady said. And in the flame, I saw a bluish Jesus with him spreading his arms out. Then I looked toward my dresser and I saw his shadow.
Do you think he could be my guide? If you do, what should I say/do on my next meditation?

It's totally normal to imagine the typical religious icons in spiritual rituals. Jesus is an important religious figure in our culture and when you are trying to stimulate the temporal brain regions, as feelings of religiosity are wont to do, it would be odd if you didn't picture jesus and pictured a can of red bull or a dust bunny or something banal. The fact you know it's "Jesus" when there are no photos of Jesus to tell us what he actually looked like is further evidence your brain imbued random movements in the flickering candle with meaning, and that your brain felt like it was supposed to be religious, and to you that meant Jesus. If you were raised in Ancient Greece you woild have seen Zeus or Apollo. In Babylon, Tammuz. We are pattern seeking animals, and your brain constantly constructs meaning in patterns for you. It's not crazy at all, it's a really amazing part of being human.
The good news is, you're really asking your own brain for direction, so you should be able to answer yourself truthfully what it is you most want. If you want to picture it as Jesus, that's fine, too, but realize what choices you make are ultimately your responsibility and not a beardy dude hanging out in a candle.

when it comes to anything of the Spiritual realm, be forewarned that there are mostly good spirits who work on behalf of the Creator of our universe and all the galaxies, etc. There is also Lucifer, a fallen angel and those who sided with him and while portrayed as ugly in movies and such which for the most part they truly probably are, they have enough power to make themselves look either very beautiful, very safe or look like someone you would trust like a loved one who passed on or a good angel or Jesus.
I tend to believe that Jesus has a creator, heavenly father, but that like his father, he learned to create and our universe and planet and us humans are just one of his creations so he's our Creator. And I know of someone who saw Jesus as a child. SHes an adopted sister who is Psychic. She hasn't seen Jesus since then but she see's angels all the time, see's mine and she also see's spirit guides. From what I understand from her and both my own experiences, a spirit guide is not Jesus or angels. I used to not believe in spirit guides until I met one of mine. Like you, I had a vision in my mind so clear that tho awake on massage table with acupuncture needles in my back, I lifted my head to look at the spot where I thought I saw him. I still have him in perfect detail in my mind and that was about 10 years ago. Some can see with mortal eyes but many learn how to use their inner eyes, and other senses. If you talk to anything you sense or actually see, you may hear back with your mortal ears or telepathically as most seem to do, in your head. By time I had seen my guide, i hadd a past in church where during worship time while I was in back of church, i had eyes closed and saw a vision of Jesus just appear before me and hold out a hand asking if he might have this dance with me. I had been dancing to worship music. I was flabbergasted, Some being as important as Jesus wanted to dance with me? Yes, its an aweinspiring experience. But as I was taught during my church days, it is important to learn to know a person or even a spirit by its fruit. A good spirt always acts as a child of, creation of or emissary of God, and will never do or suggest anything to you that is evil. In fact, there should be no 'telling you what to do, choices are entirely yours to make in your life. They can be advisors and give you information so you are better informed to make a better decision on your own, but actually lead you to or command you to do things that are not important for your own spiritual growth, do not reflect the ways of our Creator, no...they can't do it. THEY can pretend in the beginning but eventually the real character shows through. So don't assume anything until you've given this a chance. Since it was a protection ritual, I highly doubt anything of evil intent got through. But its not a bad thing to be cautious. So if you ever have more questions to bounce off someone, look up my column and write directly to me from there. I would tend to believe that what you saw was Jesus. While spirits don't actually have a human form anymore, they're a mass of glowing energy with different colored lights depending on their age and experience, a spirit will show itself to you in a human form that you can easily recognize. So if you know what generally the Jesus of old paintings and that churches promote today looks like, most likely it was Jesus. Now the question is as to why you saw him. It may be that you are at a point in life when the spiritual side of you is going to really grow leaps and bounds. That i thought was happening to me in my church days. I outgrew the limitations of church belief and walk my own spiritual path, lead by the Holy Spirit which to me is the Goddess as some beliefs have. And I have learned some of the practices of pagan and witch rituals, the good pure stuff, not any of the dark side. And rituals and spells are but a way for humans to help focus their intent and the strong intent of their mind makes the rest happen. You are seeing before hearing, so thats tough. I do all my communicating telepathically. I think my thoughts and get answers back in my mind that I know sound like my voice in my head but are not. This is a muscle you need to develop like any other. it's like having a ham radio that can send messages but not receive any back in return for a while until you've finally tuned in to it.
So the must do thing here is to practice talking to Jesus in your head right now. Do it every day. talk to him as if talking to a friend. telling him how you feel and how you want to know if he has anything special for you to do. Mentioning your needs is fine, but its not a relationship if all you do is go to him with a wish list or a 'honey do' list god style.
I want you not to think its just the meditation that makes it happen, it should be an everyday or very often thing in many different circumstances. Don't put Jesus in a box by expecting that the only way you'll see him or even just sense or hear him is in a meditation ritual. If the only place your mom as she raised you would interact with you was in your bedroom but you never saw her in the kithen or anywhere else in the house or outdoors ever in your life, that would be an odd relationship, wouldn't you think?
So here's a way to protect yourself. Imagine a giant clear bubble of protection around you. Visualize soap bubbles but much bigger and they glow with energy from god or your angels, so it can look however you picture it, sparkly like glitter, iridesent or bright glowing whiteish or ny other color. THIS you do first. then once you've thought it into place. Ask Jesus if it was really Himself showing up in the flame and in the shadow in the room. YOu let him know that you only want to be associated with Him and other of his created spiritual beings that are working for him, not against him. If you want to learn more and grow more in this area, say so and promise to talk to him every day and ask that he helps your mind learn how to hear him back and one day you will, maybe as you're least expecting it while busy concentrating on something else. God does that to me all the time. So do my spirit guides. Angels are more for protection and spirit guides are humans souls who have progressed enough to earn the job of being someones spirit guide as they like Jesus can understand what the nitty gritty of living a human existance is like whereas the angels can't. I can't say an odd angel never incarnated into a human body but its not ever spoken of in any books I've read as being a normal practice. I am just rambling on here if I continue. Just keep practicing and you'll eventually hear something back. like I said, specific experiences like this to bounce off someone, you can write me again.
