Would you please expand that thought?
Okay, Ankh. If I think that my HS Guardian Angel will help me get through each day, I might get up in the morning and say, "Good Morning, Angel, what shall I do first?" Then, if the idea comes to have some toast and go running, I'll do that. When I come back from the jog, I may take a shower and go, "That was a great run, HS. Now what shall I do?" Then the voice might say, "Call your sister." So I'll call her and chat for awhile.
Next, the voice might say, "Write a fan letter to Brittney Spears and include a revealing photo to cheer her up." So I would sit down and write an eight-page treatment on creating a dance to celebrate the Summer Solstice, in one long paragraph with lots of capital letters and some weird drawings on the back of the first page.
Now it's lunchtime, and the voice says to eat raw pork and then call a radio station to explain how I know that aliens are infiltrating our microwave ovens under orders from the UN.
This is a silly example, especially with it all happening in the same day. An alternative might be that HS gives me excellent guidance for being in service to others, and I become known for my generosity. I now have an informal group of thoughtful volunteers and one day HS suggests that I invite a few of them to an inner circle of elite followers for the next level of service, and it has to be secret.
And so on. I'm not saying that this would always happen, but we should be ourselves and only draw upon our HS when we seem to have run out of ideas to get past some problem.
