There are many guiding forces in the world today. 

For example, I have read of four natural forces:  gravity, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, etc.  These appear to be un-caused aspects of the nature of the universe; they are used to explain cause and effect within the universe.  We can lump these four forces under the single title “Nature” if we wish.

At a different level, humans, teachers, governments, concepts, philosophies – all of these can be considered guiding forces, too.

I do not really understand the intent of your question.

Do you mean to ask whether there are any guidelines for behavior?

Do you mean to ask whether there is a personality (a god, for example) controlling all events from “behind the scenes”? 

If this is your intent, here is my reply: 

I think there is no personality consciously guiding ALL events.  I am not even sure it makes good sense to imagine a personality (i.e. a personal “god”) governing “all” events.  A personality has moving component parts, desires, will, emotions, character, thoughts.  In other words a personality itself is the result of events within the personality, subtler than the personality itself – events which are beyond the personality’s conscious control.  Therefore, it would be misguided to suggest that such a personality could control all events, since it could not even fully control itself or chose its own nature or the “laws” governing its own being.  We would still have a situation in which impersonal law(s)/nature would be the ultimate guiding force(s), not a compound personality.  And impersonal law(s)/nature would still be un-caused.  The universe as a whole simply IS what it is, at the ultimate level.  Only within the universe, viewed from certain perspectives, does un-caused “law” manifest cause and effect relationships.  Additionally, in a sense there is not necessarily any way to conclude that the law(s)/nature of the universe cannot change over time, but it is a funny feature of language that if universal law(s)/nature change(s) over time, we might just as well say that it is the eternal law/nature of the universe that the universe can manifest change within itself, if viewed from certain perspectives.

Theoretically, our measured-as-of-yet “world” could all exist inside a machine or system or game controlled by a personality or even multiple personalities, who themselves exist (along with the world(s) they control) inside a yet-larger universe.  I do not concern myself with such possibilities; such contemplation would quickly seem a waste of time to me, if indulged in detail (except possibly for entertainment’s sake).  If there be any personal god(s), I would be glad to know it/them if it/she/he/they should ever wish or be willing to reveal its/their divine nature(s) to me.  Still, however, such personal god(s) would be but aspects of a larger whole, called the universe, and ultimate reality would be beyond its/their control.  Whatever they would control, they would control according to their nature, or the ultimate nature of the universe as a whole, which they would have no way of choosing.
