Its not really a moral quandry or waste of somethings time or petty or trivial.
I had mine scouring 24/7 for lost keys, information, clearing traffic, finding parking spots and someone asked me how I could treat my spiritual beings like maids.
When I viewed in that light I thought it was rather rude but I had done this since a child without giving it a thought. So after I started working on it .....
What I have found is that my entourage (after I culled a few sycophantic hangers on) were.. me.
'Spirit guides' were really externalized facets of myself because of my inability to confront Source, I externalized that Source connected part of me and made them into people--spirit guides When I was a small child I didn't have any problems being in with Source, it was only after I started growing into adulthood and the conditioning starts trickling in that you start making judgements on it based on fear and uncertainty.
So of course whatever I was doing was of interest to my 'guides'.... they were me. It doesn't matter if I'm doing something spiritual or mundane. After I was able to do the sort of ego work that allows you to stand in source without fear or guilt , I no longer externalized anything . After that I found no need for the moral quandry or 'guilt' for assistance, because it turns into a wrestling match with yourself. The thing is you are never calling in or asking , because its you, its just there. Always 24/7. So there's no need to wonder if you are imposing or being trivial.
When I was a child I told my mother one day that God was going to get me a pony. She told me, "It is wrong to ask God for things like that. You should ask God to help you to be good."
I told my Mother, "I didn't ask God for a pony, God is just giving me a pony. "
The next day there was a pony in our yard and my mother was furious with me. I'm not sure if its because I made this predictive event and God 'made' good on it that made her angry like God was taking sides. More likely she viewed it as the devil's work. Either way it frightened her. The pony had escaped through a hole in the fence from the neighbors but even I knew that ponies just didn't fall from the sky. It didn't matter to me how it got there. My mother got herself worked up about and I reminded her that 'you shouldn't defy God's will. Aren't you always saying not to defy God's will?"
So even though she had taught me not to use God for trivial things , when Source delivered what may be viewed as trivial it was she that was in defiance of Source via her own conditioning. As a child when the confusion of conditioning hasn't set in, we don't question our spiritual guidance or manifestation we just be in it.
