Because I know the Spirit, I don't have an issue here.
Why do you reject that the Spirit dwells within each Believer?

This is a short list to get your feet wet.
The whole of Scripture, Old and New Testament, speaks of the Spirit being within us... not floating around us.
1 Corinthians 3:16
16 Do you not know that you[a] are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?
1 Corinthians 6:19
19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
Ezekiel 36:27
27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.[a]
2 Timothy 1:14
14 By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.
Acts 6:5
5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch.
Romans 8:9
9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
Romans 8:11
11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus[a] from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
1 John 2:27
27 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.

However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
(Romans 8:9)
Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
(Galatians 4:6)
As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
(1 John 2:27)
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
(Romans 8:11)
Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.
(2 Timothy 1:14)
I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.
(Ezekiel 36:27)

like physiologically? Well, He is not physical, but spirit, so it is not a physical thing.
We used to be owned by our own spirit, but now we have the Spirit of Christ, which is the Holy Spirit.

I believe that the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit come to us directly from the Holy Spirit Himself and not as some believe coming through faith and repentance.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
(John 3:6)
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
(John 14:16-17)
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
(Romans 8:5-10)
Christ is not talking about a floating ball of light you can photograph or put in a jar, and Paul isn't writing about something that is omnipresent floating around in the air all over the earth - as though it were dust in the air. it is something that the world cannot see, because the world sees with eyes made out of flesh, which is like grass, rising out of dust, blooming for a little while and then turning back into dust.
but how great is our God! how great is our redemption in Christ!
Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise.
Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust:
for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
(Isaiah 26:19)
(John 3:6)

I cannot believe that this thread is still going. Look, we were created in the image of God. The Holy Spirit is God, Just as the Father is God and Just as Jesus is God. I have never seen a human that looked like an orb, maybe a pumpkin with legs and arms but never an orb. This need to stop, it is nothing more than a distraction or a false attraction. there is no biblcal terms to back it up. Enough is enough. Mods please shut it down.
Ephesians 3:16-17 mate. I already posted this scripture on page 29, I think it was mostly ignored.

Are you for real? You claim so much about the Holy Spirit being an orb and yet you don't know the very basics from the Scriptures? No wonder you believe this nonsense about dust on lens being the Holy Spirit!
