"He claimed that no person can rightly give moral advice to themselves and should instead rely on direction from angels. "
So please, "good" folks, don't listen to your own thoughts, unless they seem to be aligned with good God-based righteousness! And if they do, and an internal voice encourages you in positive, divine ways, then please! Don't consider that voice to be a real, intrinsically good part of you, yourself! No! The only advice you can give yourself is BAD advice. Only if you define your good and pure thoughts as outside of yourself and coming from a mystical creature that whispers in your ear, can you maintain the purity of your soul -- which you can't ever actually have. Because you can't POSSIBLY give yourself moral advice -- it's just not possible for you to ever rightly do so. For some reason. Oh yeah, because you're just intrinsically, permanently, evil and untrustworthy without God and his team of angels to guide you along.
Welcome to the trap of imposed beliefs about higher powers that are unfathomable to your weak, corrupted, unworthy, mortal self. But don't worry, in the afterlife you just MAY be accepted as a divine being and be able to relax your anxiety about your worth, if you play your cards right in this life and deny yourself any self-respect or faith in your own intrinsic goodness while you're here. Just keep yourself down so you can be raised up triumphantly in some unverifiable afterlife. Huzzah!
*breathes* sorry, a lot of remaining resentment for being pushed towards this sort of backwards trap of a psychological paradigm. Still ironing *those* wrinkles out of my "soul"...
