Can a person not believe in the Holy Spirit that pulsates within him?

Hello.
What do you think of the ruling (quite bizarre in my opinion) that ordered Rabbi Tal to stop relying on the Holy Spirit? It reminded me of your argument that facts have no authority. Could he deny the ‘fact’ that the Holy Spirit is pulsing within him?
I try to convince them that they didn’t want to destroy the world of thousands (maybe fewer, I don’t have a clue) of families who depend on him, but I can’t.

I don’t know the ruling and I haven’t heard about it. But maybe they asked him not to act according to the Holy Spirit or not to believe in it (I’m just wondering :)).

In the sense that even if Elijah says, we will not obey him.

C”L: Joshua.
But not Demi Ha Laha. He can accept and believe it, but not actually act on it.

The language I quoted does indeed appear regarding Joshua (Chulin 124), but I meant what they said (Yevamot 12b) that if Elijah says, "There is no one to take off his sandal," they will not listen to him.

And what the Rabbi shared, is precisely the characteristic that proves that one can believe his words but not act according to them. I brought this as evidence for the Rabbi's words.

I understand. You are running towards each other.
