THE HOLY GHOST -- The Holy Ghost doesn’t post visiting hours.  He is always 'in.’  His messages are not ambiguous.  They are never followed by disclaimers:  “It was just an idea;” or “I was just kidding.”  The Lord said: “... Verily, I say unto you, that as surely as the Lord liveth, who is your God ... I will tell you in your mind [thoughts] and in your heart [feelings] by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell [Stick around] in your heart. (DC 8:1-2)   The Holy Ghost is not a hit-and-run driver, but he won't stick around forever if ignored.

And when we ask for guidance, we are not expected to present God with multiple-choice questions.  Rather,  He has said:  “… Study it out in your own mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.  But if it be not right, ye shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought which will cause you to forget the thing which is wrong, ...” (DC 9: 8-9)  Stupor of thought is not our first choice, but it is, unmistakably, one form of personal revelation.
