DY:So from now on, whenever I have a halachic shailah, I will flip to a random page in the Igros Moshe and follow whatever it says.

RSo: . I would have liked to have answered yes but after reading some of the stuff quoted here in his name I’m no longer sure.

Adding a bit to “whattosay’s” excellent post, there seems to also be a “my Rebbe is better than your Rebbe” influence in our dialogue that can only prevent proper dialogue and understanding.

I suggest we continue with the topic of selecting Igros without considering which Rebbe to consult. That is, is it possible for any deceased soul to interact with the world in such a way as to influence a particular living persons actions?

In my note above this one I argue that it is possible since we probably all agree that we can influence a departed soul through Hashem. Why then can the departed soul not influence us through Hashem?
