The Guide is either apparent or hidden. Today I believe he is hidden. The way to access him is to turn to God frequently until he guides you to the Guide who guides you upon the way, and reveals good acts.

There is an objective way to act on the journey. In higher levels, sometimes, we can fall and destroy ourselves very easily without this guidance. There is an etiquette to follow.

And to make to the next step when in higher path, you need the guide to show and make you take that next state, whole new state, whole new level.

So, according to you, God's morality is real but normally inaccessible. How is this practically different from God's morality not being real and morality instead being fully determined by our viewpoints?

I don't believe subjective morality or objective morality can have any reality without God's existence, so I won't answer it the way you want.

I will say the difference in between being guided by a Guide and following your own opinions and perceptions, is so vastly different. One sees the truth and is guided by it, while the other is far away from the light, looking at it from a distance, making judgments with ignorance, mixing his perception of light with his desires, creating his own sense of beauty of self, without much thought of it's ugly aspects, thereby corrupting it. One is the way that leads to drink of peace and satisfies the thirst, while the latter, without a guide, leaves one thirsty, not knowing how the true river tastes like.

There is no comparison in following one's desires then being guided upon the path through the light of the Guide.

And mixing truth with falsehood, good with evil, is much different then purely following the light, and purifying oneself from all evils.
