The voices (energies) that you’re convinced by to act on them are your gods. When you trust in an energy and allow it to manifest through you – whether you’re conscious of it or not, that’s having a god in your life.
Notice how superficial the concept of religious belief in a god is compared to this. There’s what you think about god, and then there’s who your ACTUAL gods are. How many people actually believe in GOD? Almost none in the grand scheme of things. How many atheists have gods in their lives? Almost all of them.
Energies are false idols. They are not God / Truth / Reality. If you trust in them and what they’re telling you, you trust in something lesser.
Notice how in contrast Steerage is silent. It’s not very convincing – in fact, your mind will often be screaming with very compelling, logical arguments to go the other way. Steerage doesn’t force Itself upon you. You just have to trust It.
Bring this tangibly back to your experience by examining: “What did I do today? What compelled me to do so? What was “I” telling myself?”
