A description of the experience
Jacob Boehme – Aurora – Chapter 3
62 The Holy Ghost is the third [concept] in the triumphing holy deity and proceedeth from the Father and the Son and is the holy moving spring or fountain of joy in the whole Father.
63 It is a pleasant, meek, quiet wind or whispering breath, or still voice, out of all the powers of the Father and of the Son; as on mount Horeb with the prophet Elijah and on Whitsunday or the Day of Pentecost with the Apostles may be perceived.
64 Therefore if we would describe [this concept] substance and property from the true ground, it must be represented in a similitude. For the spirit cannot be written down, being no creature but the moving, flowing boiling power of God.
