What I see here is *form*. Could you please go a little deeper and explain 
at a knowing/experiencing/truth level the above paragraphs.

Here are some questions I have that may help your response.
	What is the Holy Spirit?
	How does the Holy Spirit touch Man?
	Why does the Holy Spirit touch only a select few?
	   Or is it touching everybody, and only a few see the Holy Spirit?
        What does one do in order to open up to the Holy Spirit?
        How universal is the Holy Spirit? 
        How is the Holy Spirit experienced?
	If every thing (not everything) was all ready created, wasn't the
	   Holy Spirit around before Jesus? (this is really a part of the
	   first question)

Here are some related questions.
	Why does the inner teachings of all the great religions recognize
	  in their own vocabulary the Holy Spirit? 
	How would you explain the saints and mystics that all religions
	  have?

>"I have come to give life and to give it abundantly"
	What does this statement mean to you?
