ZetaTalk: Spirit Guides
Note: written Apr 15, 1996

Spirit guides act as monitors, and become involved in certain types of calls, but not all. Spirit guides are never those who firmly determine their orientation as Service-to-Self. The reason is obvious, as they would scarcely concern themselves with others. Thus spirit guides are in essence entities in the Service-to-Others who are active as administrators on spiritual matters. One could equate an incarnated entity's interaction with a spirit guide to a student in an independent study class, where the youngsters make their study selection and then proceed independently, to read or run experiments or whatever the choice entails. This equates to life.

• At times, the young student gets stymied, is unsure how to proceed, and calls upon one of the teacher's aids or volunteers who come to the school to assist, for help. This call may be unspoken, as when the young student breaks down and cries or throws their work upon the floor in frustration, but nevertheless, is recognized as a call. This equates to The Call.

• Perhaps it is time for the young student's work to be evaluated, a critique for possible promotion. The teacher then talks to the child, perhaps in conference with the child's parents, and an administrative decision is made. This equates to a spirit guide conferring on an entity's readiness to move to a higher density.

• Perhaps there have been serious behavior problems where the young student is stealing the work of other students or being a bully. The school principal is brought in to determine if the young bully needs to be put into a special class for disruptive students. This equates to a spirit guide conferring on an entity's orientation decision to be Service-to-Self and the need for placement with those of like orientation.

• If the student is new to the town, and is being interviewed and their records reviewed for proper placement within the school system, a school counselor would be involved. This equates to spirit guides, the ones we call birthing envoys, determining the lessons to be learned during the next incarnation and the best setting for this lesson.

Humans often assign a parental role to their spirit guides. As the spirit guides help determine the site and circumstances of their next incarnation, their next school term, it is natural for humans to expect the spirit guides to act as human parents do - ensuring that they are clothed and fed, safe from danger, and rescued if in a spot. Spirit guides do not do these functions. As we have stated, incarnations are a self teaching experience, and 3rd Density is a density in which new entities with emerging inclinations to be either Service-to-Self or Service-to-Other mix freely. Spirit guides are not spirit overseers, spirit parents, spirit policemen, spirit nurses, or spirit governors. The guides are available for The Call, but beyond that do not interfere.
