Yeah. That's the kind of power, motion, function, I was asking after.
If there is any tradition/precedent for viewing the holy spirit as a kind of raw 'knock your socks off' power.
Like in that book you recommended me to, a dangerous dance between illness and the spirit. Could it be the holy spirit bringing those conditions? I was wondering when I started this thread if raw rushes of non-ordinary experience are part of the vocabulary of christian experience, if there was a name for pointing to such. This spirit power thing would seem to be the place to describe it, if there is one.
