Interesting questions. I don't view the guide/human relationship as slavery, but I know that some people rely on guides for way too much. Some people call on their guides for every little decision or issue in their life, but if we don't lmake our own decisions, how are we to learn?

Currently I have a guide who protects and advises me, but does not butt into my life unless I am somehow endangered. As long as I am safe, he helps and advises me only if I ask. And yes, he finds my day-to-day floundering and self-doubts rather amusing lol.

This guide, when I asked him what I should call him, answered simply "Friend." Friend has made it clear that we have known each other for a very long time, as part of a "soul group." He is gaining knowledge and insight by watching earthly life from a new prospective, watching as I make decisions in the physical, as he once did.

Of course, he has access to a different level of understanding. He seems to know a good deal about my reasons for incarnating, but will not share them with me. His job is to learn and guide, not to live my life for me.

Angels I don't truly know that much about, except that they have never incarnated. I'm not convinced that I have a 'guardian angel' though I would very much like to believe it.
