Question While we're on the topic of mysticism

What is 'the holy spirit?' Is this one of many 'things' in Christianity that is not agreed upon by various churches and their respective traditions? Or is there general agreement about what it is? And WHAT is it?

Is it an element? Does it have properties?
Is it considered alive? Is it considered to be part of God, or Godself, or just what?

What does it do? How does one recognize it and discern it from other 'things,' properties or elements? Does it influence human life a little or a lot, and is it difficult to live with?
