The Holy spirit is not important, God is important and i feel God when I am really calm and relaxed, simply happy. I think thats what heaven is like. Its kind of just a state of mind, its not just in your feet or your stomach but its an emotion. Anybody can feel God if they just let Him in.

No, the Holy Spirit lives within those who have been born again of the spirit of God through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Life is from God but the Holy Spirit is given at the second birth.

The feeling of the Holy Spirit is a warm and happy feeling in your chest, heart. Usually when you tend to act more like Jesus, when you do right and feel compassionate.

You either know how you feel it or you don't, some sociopaths are born without the ability to feel compassion and union with all other living creatures some feel it more than others.
Go feed a starving child then you will know where you feel it.
IT is all metaphor. None of it is concrete when you look at it as prose and not poetry then your off the track. No one can explain a feeling it transcends human art and speech.
Artists and poets touch it when art and poetry are great. Its when we take that art and turn it into fact (theology) then we are off the path.

The Holy Spirit is a real person who came to reside within Jesus Christ's true followers after Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to heaven (Acts 2). Jesus told His apostles...
"I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." (John 14:16-18)
The Holy Spirit is not a vague, ethereal shadow, nor an impersonal force. He is a person equal in every way with God the Father and God the Son. He is considered to be the third member of the Godhead. Jesus said to His apostles...
"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Matt. 28:18-20)
God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And all the divine attributes ascribed to the Father and the Son are equally ascribed to the Holy Spirit. When a person becomes born again by believing and receiving Jesus Christ (John 1:12-13; John 3:3-21), God resides in that person through the Holy Spirit (1Cor. 3:16). The Holy Spirit has intellect (1Cor. 2:11), emotion (Rom. 15:30), and will (1Cor. 12:11).
A primary role of the Holy Spirit is that He bears "witness" of Jesus Christ (John 15:26, 16:14). He tells people's hearts about the truth of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit also acts as a Christian's teacher (1Cor. 2:9-14). He reveals God's will and God's truth to a Christian. Jesus told His disciples...
"The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." (John 14:26)
"When He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come." (John 16:13)
The Holy Spirit was given to live inside those who believe in Jesus, in order to produce God's character in the life of a believer. In a way that we cannot do on our own, the Holy Spirit will build into our lives love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Gal. 5:22-23). Rather than trying to be loving, patient, kind, God asks us to rely on Him to produce these qualities in our lives. Thus Christians are told to walk in the Spirit (Gal. 5:25) and be filled with the Spirit (Eph. 5:18). And the Holy Spirit empowers Christians to perform ministerial duties that promote spiritual growth among Christians (Rom. 12; 1Cor. 12; Eph. 4).
The Holy Spirit also performs a function for non-Christians as well. He convicts people's hearts of God's truth concerning how sinful we are -- needing God's forgiveness; how righteous Jesus is -- He died in our place, for our sins; and God's eventual judgment of the world and those who do not know Him (John 16:8-11). The Holy Spirit tugs on our hearts and minds, asking us to repent and turn to God for forgiveness and a new life.

if you have received Jesus as your savior then you have received the Holy Spirit, it is a still quiet voice that you have to learn to listen to.
if you spend time seeking his counsel, then he will become more apparent to you, he will never force himself on you, you have to invite Him.

You feel it in the drive and desire to go forth and teaching others about the Bible, just as the first Christians did, house to house, town to town.

Its's in everyone, but those who are weak believers or not believers don't feel it as strong as it should be. You feel it in your heart, and it starts helping you make better descisons, etc. You have to accept Christ into your life first.
