I'm not in support of the theory that spirit guides punish us for asking too many questions. I believe that there can be feasible reasons for delays. One is the way timing is predicted. The second is that there may be lessons to be learned before an event is to be realized, and one or both parties are not learning whatever thay are to learn quickly enough for the timeframes to be met.
In terms of timing, my experience is that readers are given numbers most often. The interpretation of those numbers is very loose. A "2" can be February, or 2 weeks, 2 daya, 2 months from now. Or in 2 day, 2 weeks, or 2 months - or on the 2nd of the month or any day in the month with a 2 init. You get what I mean. We are really at the readers mercy to be able to decipher what it is.
I recall a reading with Dr. Ginny a few weeks back. The timelines she gave for my outcome were so way off all of my other readings, that I was alarmed. I decided to ask her what message she received. She said, "I was given a 10" and "month"...and so she justified with me how she interpretted that as the "outcome" would occur in 10 months. I still wasn't convinced that this was the only interpretation, so I said to her "Well couldn't your message also indicate October?" (that was in line with all of my other readings, by the way). Her answer was , "No, I got a 10 and then the word month". Well, I am in no position to question Dr. Ginny, in fact, she comes well recommended by some, but at the end of the call, I simply couldn't accept that her message was interpretted in the only way it could have been. Of course I did not mention it to Ginny. I simply ended the call and thanked her.
In my mind, if a spirit guide give a "10" and "month" it is quite feasible that is could be the 10th month, or October. However, Dr. Ginny and I differ on that.
The push backs of occurrences or time span increases, doesn't really answer the question does it? If I'm tempted to cause a delay intentional or not, whether on my side or the other person in question, wouldn't this too be a prediction that could be seen? Shouldn’t I be warned not to do such and such if I want the outcome to happen? I want the outcome more than anything, why would I cause a sabotage?
I've heard readers say that too if you get too many readings, it will disrupt the outcome, and confuse the guides. Confuse them how? Aren’t they on a higher plane of existence, so as to know more than I about a given situation? How are they guiding me, if they continue to push the timing of events back and back and back? Then the next thing I know, I've waited over two years for an event to transpire. I don't know. This sounds more like default verbiage inaccurate psychics tend to give.
