Claiming indwelling Holy Spirit or some divine presence or guidance within us is an esoteric statement which, whether subjective or objective, ends any discussion because it can either be a prior accepted or rejected.

Furthermore it isn't hidden, because His WORD also reveals His indwelling to us.
