He is trying to appeal simultaneously to your vanity (you are smart, so you will get it) and your insecurity (all smart people get this, don't you?) hwile providing you with Al Einstein as a cyber-fellowshipper to his golden path. Same old same old. Plus ca change, plus ca reste la meme.

define sinful, unholy, worthy and unworthy. Does it require perfection to receive inspiration? How about someone who isn't paying his tithing but is otherwise a pretty good guy?

Saul on the road to Tarsus and Alma the younger are both good examples. I don't think that we can count on the "constant" companionship of the spirit when we know we are scoffing at God's laws. But I think that even the most sinful have some access to the spirit and I have seen God work in enough unusual ways that I don't constrain Him.

Plagiarism. I can tell you've been reading Levin's purple prose.
