Seeker,
I understand where you are coming from. The idea that our own Spirits are the Holy Spirit is an appealing thought. But I see no truth in it. If my Spirit were my own personal Holy Ghost, it would imply my thoughts are separate from my soul, rather than deriving from it. Looking to my own Spirit for guidance in the darkest times implies my Spirit is separate from my body. It suggests the GIFT of the Holy Ghost is meaningless, as that Spirit is already with me, from before I am born. There are so many concepts of the Gospel which I already have knowledge of which refute the concept of my own Spirit being the Holy Ghost.
Thus, as I said before, relying upon anyone else, whether it be the Prophet, the Holy Ghost, Jesus, or God above and beyond our own conscience, will only get you so far. At some point we have to rely on our own ability to know what is right and what is wrong. That is the point of this whole thread, which has gone much too long and spurred much debate. Debate is healthy, so long as hatred does not enter therein.
