God does not guide, because He can share only perfect knowledge. Guidance is evaluative, because it implies there is a right way and also a wrong way, one to be chosen and the other to be avoided. By choosing one you give up the other. The choice for the Holy Spirit is the choice for God. T-5.II.5: 1 - 4

Most people don’t realize they have a choice: to follow the way of the ego or to follow the way of the Holy Spirit. The way of the ego is about conditional love and the way of the Holy Spirit is about unconditional love. If we choose unconditional love we have chosen the way of the Holy Spirit which leads us to the Atonement which is the healing of the separation. If we choose the way of the ego, we remain in the hell of separation and divisiveness..
In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. This search requires choices between conditional love and unconditional love, between the ego and the Holy Spirit. One choice brings us pain and distress, and the other brings us peace and joy.
Today, knowing that we have a choice between conditional love and unconditional love, we can choose what love would have us do or follow our own willfulness.
