I like the Holy Spirit described as a woman named Wisdom (of God) in Proverbs 1:20-23:
Wisdom cries aloud in the street,
in the open squares she raises her voice;
Down the crowded ways she calls out,
at the city gates she utters her words:
"How long, you simple ones, will you love inanity,
how long will you turn away at my reproof?
Lo! I will pour out to you my spirit,
I will acquaint you with my words."
With love in Christ.

The mind is like a computer. The brain is the hardware. The
spirit is the software (the programming). Both brain and
spirit are required for consciousness.
There is a spirit in man (Job 32:8). This spirit allows a
human to have understanding superior to other animals. There is
a spirit that can be given to humans that is superior to the
spirit in man. That spirit (the Holy Spirit) is the extra
software the mind needs in order to understand the things of
God.
The Holy Spirit is not a person. It is
the presence (Psalms 51:11, Psalms 139:7) and power (Romans
15:19, Micah 3:8) of God, which establishes a sound mind (2
Timothy 1:7). The Holy Spirit seals us for the day of
redemption (Ephesians 4:30). Although the Holy Spirit is
a motivating (moving) force (2 Peter 1:21), it does not
push. It leads (Romans 8:14).
Christ causes
the Holy Spirit (the presence of God) to flow through us
(like water) to others.

Acts 2:2-4--" Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues(languages) as the Spirit enabled them."
1 Thess 5:19--"Quench not the Spirit."

Isaiah:44-3
3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring,
and my blessing on your descendants
Zechariah 12:10
Mourning for the One They Pierced
10 "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit [a] of grace and supplication. They will look on [b] me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
Matthew 3:16
16As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him.
Romans 8:9
9You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
