There is another advantage, - and a very important one, - in
referring decisions to the Holy Spirit with increasing frequency. Perhaps you
have not thought of this aspect, but its centrality is obvious. To follow the
Holy Spirit's guidance is to let yourself be absolved of guilt. It is the
essence of the Atonement. Do not, then, think that following the Holy Spirit's
guidance is necessary merely because of your own inadequacies. It is the way
out of hell for you. To say, "Of myself I can do nothing"
is to gain all power. The Holy Spirit knows the truth about you. The image you
made does not. To ask the Holy Spirit to decide for you is simply to accept
your true inheritance. Teachers
