The Holy Ghost arrives as a trip through heaven, hell, good, evil, pain, joy, and divided thought, yet somehow binds the world into one shared dream.

Calling the Holy Ghost a trip risks irreverence, but the poem uses that language to stress intensity and total psychic involvement. Thought separates under life's murmur, and pain and joy come out of the same trap, so spiritual experience here is not clarifying in any simple sense. The last claim that everyone dreams the same way pushes toward a collective human condition rather than private revelation.

Segues into the Holy Ghost as trip, 'some of our Heaven and all of our Hell,' the murmur making thought go separate ways. Five friends: pain and joy 'from the trap,' and everyone in the world dreams the same way.
