Holy Ghost or Pleroma?

As I sat today re-reading an earlier post an idea occurred to me and I wanted to run it by you to see what you think. Here's what triggered it. I wrote: 
"When I was a Christian in the dogmatic sense, I never once felt the Holy Ghost. I did feel(what I now recognize) pleroma trying to bust down my mental doors, but there was nothing Ghostly about it, not in anyway the Holy Ghost has ever been described as a spirit or essence of god."

With the vibrancy and overwhelming love and sense of completion people report feeling when the "Holy Ghost comes upon them" do you think it's possible that the Holy Ghost for hylics/somatics, for your typical literalist Christian is really pleroma?!! 

Is it possible? Has he been trying to sneak in like this all along? Is this just one way literalists are waking up? 

Maybe the people who dogmatically read and study the Holy Ghost are only looking at the tip of the iceberg. Maybe, just maybe, those people who actually experience it are tapping into something those dogmatic intellects aren't seeing at all. And maybe it's not what they've been told it is at all. 

What do you think about this?
