Why do you think you can't seek such guidance from your own mind and life experiences?

You can seek guidance, but if God doesn't exist, there is no reason to believe one will be guided if they seek guidance.  And if you have no such guarantee, there is no reason to believe you ought to seek that guidance.

It is not that you can't seek that guidance.

And you can see the differences in humans with morality,  a lot of people try to find enlightenment through their own mind and life experiences,  but at the end, if guidance is to exist, it must be from the Absolute, it must emanate from the being that ought to be valued most.

I don't mean book or message by this, I mean, luminosity inwardly has to emanate from God. But if God remotely even cares if humans follow and unite on that light from him, he would send books and establish his authority through his chosen ones.

The last sentence with holy books and authority of chosen ones is not the subject of the thread.

If guidance doesn't emanate from the perfect judge and Guide, there is no reason to believe it truly is guidance.  The guidance of God is the guidance, there is no other possible guidance.
