You aren't contained in any of these labels... but you can't avoid being partially described by them. I am in similar difficulties, and often can't honestly deny being a "___"-- or entirely claim to be one either. The trouble is, when people see that any such description applies to anyone, assumptions follow. I suppose I shouldn't assume these are a bad part of the Creation, but they often do gum up the old thinking processes. ("The eye that people see with is the chief obstacle to seeing.")

 

The trouble with your simple prescription, is that God has certainly communicated to me in the past via the words of other people. And that I find things going better with God when I open up and share. What was it about "not hiding one's light under a bushel"?-- or one's darkness, for that matter, where that may need to be seen & lightened up! We were not created on a planet of our own, alone with God...

 

Also, the condition of this world itself implies that people need all the (effective) pointers to turn toward God that they can get... what you yourself have just provided here, for example. (Just need to keep Checking In on whether or not to do so-- 'Now, Boss?')
