[... It really doesn't matter what we grasp, for none of it is of any consequence to the Creation. We are a bunch of primates with souls, wholly incapable of intellectually absorbing what we are faced with, with or without Spirit. The Spirit doesn't give us facts that we can use to make a "working model." ..]

I agree with you basically but not specifically..

The Holy Spirit does visit with "visions".. which are not actual facts.. They are more personal and long lasting than a fact.. Because that is WHY Jesus' left the Holy Spirit with us.. As a/the paraclete(a helper, one that comes alongside to help.. a comforter)..

The Holy Spirit does visit with "visions".. which are not actual facts

In a spiritual sense, they are (spiritual) facts. We all know what love is but we cannot put it in words adequately or all inclusively, we cannot give a shape, color, dimentions. Love and mercy did not come from the rocks or the clouds. It is something we don't encounter in nature, where necessity justifies everything.
