		<description>That&#039;s an awesome story, Michelle!  It&#039;s a shame that your confirmation story can&#039;t be used to convince your friend.  But I bet that the reason he kept arguing with you is that, deep down, he knows you&#039;re right, and is kind of hoping you&#039;ll be able to convince him.  :-)  Unfortunately, I don&#039;t think that&#039;s the way it works.  He won&#039;t see that firm evidence he &quot;needs&quot; until he really has an open mind about it.

Amazing that your husband might be your animus!  I have never heard of that before, either; be sure to let me know what you find out!!</description>

		<description>This one was important to me. I&#039;ve been having an ongoing argument with someone I know who very firmly believes that guides/angels/entities are all from within ourselves. He hasn&#039;t changed my opinions, but his constant querying/arguing has worn me out emotionally. We have finally agreed to not get in each other&#039;s face on the internet (we wander the same forums/places), which makes me sad to a degree. I had no problem with him believing differently, I just didn&#039;t see why he needed to &quot;correct&quot; me constantly.

Ok, enough of my grumbling. The point is he did wear me down and there have been times recently where I have begun to have those &quot;is this all merely in my own head?&quot; doubts. Last month I had (to me) positive proof it was not, but it still was very nice to find this extra confirmation that I&#039;m not alone in questioning... and finding similar answers! Thank you for sharing your experiences. 

In return I can offer the story of my recent confirmation. I&#039;ll keep it short. About two years ago I  started hearing an online friend&#039;s guide. We were both  very surprised that his guide seemed as happy to talk to me as to him. It doesn&#039;t happen often, but it happens regularly. It was a point I used in my argument with the disbelieving friend - how could I connect to another person&#039;s guide if all guides were merely within? He wasn&#039;t convinced and had several arguments of his own. In the end, tired of getting nowhere, we agreed to disagree. I went to a forum I visit where channelers leave messages. This other friend had left a message from the guide in question. Now, this friend knew nothing about my ongoing fight - I&#039;d kept my bickering to myself. So he had no way to be influenced in any way, or influence the words of his guide. 

The message his guide had asked him to write out therefore made no sense to him,  but it had me literally laughing out loud here. His guide had quoted my secret argument (literally to the word in one sentence) and used it to point out that we all need to trust ourselves and not let negativity influence us. Unfortunately the unbelieving person also goes to the same place, read the message and was convinced I&#039;d been blabbing about him behind his back. Funny-ironic in a way that the ultimate proof that this guide is a seperate entity who pops into the lives of myself and another is something I still can&#039;t use as proof for the non-believing (ex) friend.

Hope that made sense. It was a story that spanned about 20 months - not easy to condense.  

PS... the anima/animus idea is not one I&#039;d looked at before. Reading your fascinsting story here I asked my guides about my animus and received a rather odd reply. They say my husband is my animus. !?! In a way it could connect to something I got years back - where I was told my husband was my twin flame. But anima-animus of each other? Is that possible?? I&#039;ll have to go look further into that!</description>
