Can you explain please what the above has to do with the Sacraments?

baptism is immersion in the spirit, by having it poured in
eucharist is filling with the spirit, by consuming
bridal chamber is union with the spirit, by contemplation
these seem to me different ways of sacramentally achieving something similar, the end result is a kind of permanent connection to God through the Holy Spirit
what is the point of sacraments if they don't bring something like this?
I think that originally Jesus connected these with levels of attainment to his teachings, even the early church didn't admit converts till they thought they had good reason to want baptism
