Jesus is the Express Image of God who is the Holy Spirit Father .

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
This is an amazing verse!     Let`s enumerate the points it makes:
    Jesus is the epitome of God`s glory
    Jesus is how God looks
    Jesus holds everything together by the Word of His power
    Jesus has purged all sin by himself
    Jesus is seated at the right hand of Majesty
This profound statement speaks to the fact that matter exists and is ordered by the command of the eternal Word by the eternal Spirit.     

It explains why science is unable to fathom the essence of matter.     They have reached the point where the energy to inspect the smaller particles moves them (Heisenberg uncertainty principle).     
If they were able to keep delving they would find nothing material, only Jesus` spoken Word!     

The Holy Spirit is The Majesty.     Jesus is His physical form.     The Majesty is not defined by dimensions.     He is infinite.     Jesus` body is finite but He is the focal point of The Majesty.     We cannot `see` His Holy Spirit in the same way we `see` Jesus.     -

No man has seen the Holy Spirit at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Holy Spirit, he has declared him.
Keep in mind:
    God is a Spirit
    Holy Spirit is God
    Holy Spirit is Father
    Holy Spirit is the Spirit Of Christ Jesus.     

I rather think that the Holy Spirit has not ever been `seen` and cannot be `seen`.     The fact that He is omnipresent means that there are no edges to His form.     Without edges a thing cannot be distinguished.     There must be something next to it with which to contrast it.     

Jesus revealed the Holy Spirit by operating in the Holy Spirit, speaking His words and doing His works.     

Jesus is Spirit Soul And Body.     

Jesus` Spirit is the Holy Spirit who gave birth to Him.     Jesus is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit and so He, in a sense, is His own Father.     

Jesus` Holy Spirit begat His body and fills Him, and crowns Him and manifests Himself (Holy Spirit) physically in Jesus.     

Being in the bosom of the Father speaks to the Soul and Body of Jesus resting in His own Holy Spirit.

If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him.
To know Jesus is to know the Father.     To not know Jesus is to be unknown to the Father.     Jesus is the express image of the Father who is the Holy Spirit.

Philip says unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us.
Philip was not satisfied with Jesus.     
He wanted to see the Father.     
This was a terrible insult to Christ and reflected the Carnal Minded nature that was still in His disciples.     

Those today who persist in calling upon the Lord apart from using His name, Jesus, waste their time.     How is this?     Because all power in heaven and earth belongs to Christ Jesus who is the express image of the Father, the Holy Spirit.

Jesus says unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip?     he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you then, Show us the Father?
Jesus states categorically who He is - the express image of the Father.     

You can hear the hurt and amazement in Jesus` voice as He responds.     

Jesus tells Philip that He is the Father.     He then rebukes Philip for even doubting that He is the Father.
