I don't know if there's already been a thread on this, but if so, I can't find a recent one!

I recently watched a really interesting interview with a supposed 'Crystal Child' in which she discussed a range of topics all related to spirituality... and one point she raised was Guides. Now I had always had the personal belief that they had once been previous spirits in previous lives, who had then died in order to serve a better use on the other side - that use being that of our guides.
I know that everyone's beliefs will vary here.
However, in this interview the girl spoke of our guides being, well... ourselves? She didn't elaborate too much on it unfortunately but she simply gave an example where she was once looking at a photo from her childhood, recognising how that had been a tough time for her as a kid and mentally sending a visualisation of herself - with wings so as not to scare her younger 'self' - and saying to the visualisation of the little girl that everything would be okay and that things were as bad as they were going to get. About a week or so later, a new guide came forward for her - a guide who had wings.
It's kind of hard to grasp, but I've been doing my own thinking about it all since and I'll try to explain as best as I can, using examples of myself.
I'll use two of my guides as examples. One is called Tommy, he's a boy of about ten years old and comes from Dublin in Ireland - around the Victorian period. He died young on the streets from starvation as he was homeless, but in the mean time he used to write poems and lyrics to make money... he also has the exact same sense of humour as me. He also has one leg in a crutch, though I've never known why. Looking at all of that, there's some pretty solid connections to myself; I have always been fascinated by the Victorian period, some of my family originates from Ireland - my main hobby is that of a writer, and I have complications in one of my legs.
A second guide is called Violet Elizabeth. She lived on the coast in Scotland, early 1800s, and was a pretty radical character. She was well educated for a woman, she wrote, and was even involved slightly with politics - trying to bring about this feminist movement. However, she lost her lover at sea and then drowned herself as a result of that. Well, looking back at me - my name is 'Amy Elizabeth', and Elizabeth has always run in my mother's side of the family - I had always intended on calling my daughter Violet and then giving her Elizabeth as a middle name if I ever had one. This was all before I knew of Violet, my guide. I also have family originating in Scotland - again I can also get passionate about politics and sexism. What's more, is that I have a phobia of the ocean - and I've always said that any form of suffocation seems to be one of the worst ways of dying to me.
I have two other guides that I know of, one of them being a little girl who died in a fire and the other being a native american who got killed pretty young, as well.
It was in a psychic reading that I was told that there's a reason all my guides have undergone a certain degree of suffering in their lives - and that's because it's from them that I have the ability to emphasize with people on a whole new level, and it's what will aid me when it comes down to helping and reaching out to others. I, myself, have battled with depression ever since my early teenage years - so it's certainly true that quite a lot of things effect me.
Anyway, I know this is an absolute marathon to read but it's a way of perceiving my guides that I never thought of before - the possibility that, perhaps, our guides are just our former selves in former (or maybe even future) lives? After all, our guides are a part of ourselves and a part of our souls - why else could we take on unknown phobias, fears and skills without any other known origin? There seems to be a pattern between having things in common with our guides, and having things in common with former lives. I don't know if everything I'm saying seems pretty obvious, but at least for me, I had never thought of looking at it like this before.
What are you views regarding spirit guides? I find all of this absolutely fascinating.
