The Holy Spirit

 

From the July 19th, 2023 copy of The Cavalier Chronicle, I will lay out their weekly homily, and then comment on it: “The Best Influencer: It is easy to be influenced. We see it in our society all the time. God’s way of leading God’s children is by the Holy Spirit. The results are good for everyone. This week, in church, learn about how to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.”

 

My response: it is easy to be influenced when one is a collectivist, a joiner, a follower and a group-living nonindividuator. (Romans 8:12-25.

 

One should think for oneself as an individuating, rational being. Being influenced by the God, the Holy Spirit and the Good Spirits is a winner.

 

I note that the author of these homilies advises people to learn from the pastor in church, and that is a way to go.

 

It would seem that God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are top-drawer deities whereas the Good Spirits that I pray to and talk to are angels on a lower level of the Great Chain of Being.
