That's right, I would say, you've got it. The thing is, people look for a feeling, but is the Holy Spirit a feeling? Here's my eccentric viewpoint. Remember Jesus saying at the crucifixion, "forgive them, dad (abba), since they don't know what they're doing." (Maybe you have 'pap' in Yorkshire instead of 'dad,' idk, that would be good Anglian). Well, Jesus knew their motivations better than they did because the Spirit was informing him; God knows all motivations. The Spirit, to me, is a person of communication, a living interface between God and human, and is mainly experienced as information... the love, joy, peace and so on derive from knowing God's love is there, understanding what's in the hearts of our fellow humans and other things that require a perspective that would otherwise be beyond us.

So this information may evoke a number of feelings, and people will thus experience the Spirit differently. Maybe you experience him in some of your joy of learning all this.

Now, because you're so interested in metaphysics, you can see from mathematical information theory and thermodynamic theory that information is not disconnected from physics. In fact, any information can be given an energy value -- that's real spacetime energy, the same stuff that forms atoms and light. Therefore, if the Holy Spirit is giving you any information that is not just directly sorted out of your own wealth of verbal and non-verbal thoughts and insights, then you are receiving new creation of spacetime, which does break the law of cause and effect as we ordinarily encompass it. Actually, even any sorting done by the Holy Spirit among your own thoughts (this also relates to some mathematical information problems, since sorting = making order = increasing information, decreasing entropy)is a new contribution to spacetime unless the Holy Spirit himself is somehow completely embedded in spacetime with all of his up-to-the-moment divine information.
