<p dir="auto">It would be a mistake - possibly a serious one - for you to interpret my sentence as meaning that the answer is Yes.</p>

<p dir="auto">How do we know it's the HGA for sure? "</p>
<p dir="auto">One of the most marked characteristics of the Knowledge &amp; Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel is an unshakable certainty - arising in a soul that, by its journey there, has a heightened and refined truth sense.</p>
<p dir="auto">For lesser contacts... you can't be sure. There is constant wondering and testing and witnessing. It helps to have deep experience and practice in knowing your own mind and watching how it behaves; and it also helps to have a mentor or instructor who is an Adept and can give ongoing feedback about your experiences.</p>
