I don't really believe in *anything* assigned to a person from birth, guardian, guide, or 'other'. That's a fairly RHP perspective, it involves notions like a 'divine plan' and things of that sort, which I also do not believe in. In other words, that sort of thinking strikes me as just part of the general monotheist way of thinking in our western culture, even within the occult.
I also wouldn't agree with equating the HGA with a buried portion of the ID... that I would call a "shade" as per Carl Jung's writing on that topic.
I would view an HGA as either a divine aspect of self, separate from the normal conscious mind, (aka a 'higher self'). OR, as basically a spiritual bodhisattva being (one who has achieved enlightenment, but sticks around to help others out of the sea of Samsara).
