One cannot serve both the heaven of the past and the heaven to come.

Wherever the most meaning is, that is where the HS is at too. There is nothing more meaningful than to serve the child in the dark who has had paradise ripped away.

I'm wondering candidly how one knows the HS has showed up in their consciousness, what that experience is like, how you know that it is the HS, etc. What is the experience like? How do you know when "The Helper" has arrived and it's not just a religious narrative going on in the church and one's mind??

Just total crickets. Because when you try to describe it, it just sounds totally mundane, revealing that it is all a fancy narrative in one's head that when described has zero supernatural quality to it?? Is that the problem? Radio silence for what reason? After all, emotions are not supernatural, intuitions and insights are not supernatural, changing beliefs is not supernatural and happens for every religion. Just wondering why no one will describe what must be the most intense and valuable experience of being human. Strange.

I’ve already said the desire for existential meaning and the desire for fulfillment are indicators of being in connection with the HS.

How will you be able to distinguish the HS from delusion? This question must constantly be struggled over because the meeting point with the HS is the chaotic darkness at the edge of conscious awareness and subconsciousness.

The Son of Man has already navigated through the chaotic darkness using the HS. He calls himself the light of the (inner) world. Presumably, the more you identify with him, making his will your will, making his story your story, this should insure your success.

Still, for the one on the narrow path, doubt will be a companion until the end.

The hero learns to identify with the doubt and the resistance of the chaotic darkness as a way to stay in touch with the HS.

I misread your second sentence, Fella. My bad

No, all you have to do is ask God for his spirit and he will give you it. It's not Gnosticism. He is good, he will absolutely give you it and his spirit will communicate with you. It might be your first step towards being saved.
