Good advice, but problem: He's not always available for consultation. A reasonable substitute, perhaps is that mortals are available. They vary widely in quality of wisdom possible ethical conflicts, etc. Yet with some wisdom and discernment, and admittedly, a bit of luck and perhaps prayer if you think it helpful, will improve one's odds.

I do think it helpful, but I am a huge skeptic of such matters and I didn't arrive where I am now because somebody else told me it was so. Neither would I attempt to persuade others, but I do occasionally offer "things to consider".

My central "offering" at present is that while excellent work is being done in exposing the misdeeds of others, I suspect that little attention is being paid to the nature of our own thoughts and actions. I happen to think that the two are closely related.
