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. 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. 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.
