If the Holy Spirit is parallel to what MMY calls the impersonal God (the Absolute, or Brahman), it would be metaphysically impossible for it to be "with" you, because you are It, and It is you, no? I'm not sure the Holy Spirit *is* parallel to the impersonal God, but I'm certainly no expert in Catholicism. FWIW, in Protestant Christianity--not sure about Catholic--the Holy Spirit is (among other things) said to be what enables one to perceive the truth of Scripture. I *think* the Holy Spirit would also be parallel to the Shechinah of Judaism, the divine presence that dwells within (Shechinah in Hebrew is a feminine noun, interestingly).
