The HS can appear in many different ways. He will appear to you in a way that is most helpful to you specifically. Ascended Masters or angels might be sent to help you, or perhaps a Voice. The realized Son of God, or the Christ, takes on the role of the HS as well. This makes the HS the "go-to-guy" for all of your problems.
A unique teaching from ACIM (A Course in Miracles) explains a lot about the HS and time. You can imagine the HS standing at the end of time, walking as fast as he can towards you without frightening you. The HS will give you as much time as you want to reach eternity, but the question is: how long do you really want to wait? Time is really a tool for the ego while eternity is of God, the HS's job is to guide you into eternity. This means that there are two options in time: choosing the ego's script, which plans to extend time, and the HS's script, which plans to shorten it.
Your actions in this life are not really being decided upon in the present moment, but were already planned out by the ego. The only thing that you can do is start listening for the HS and forgiving. Here's the catch: there are alternate time lines that you can move through, those of the ego being longer and those of the Holy Spirit being shorter. Through forgiveness, you will learn lessons that might have taken much longer to learn with the ego, but since you have learned them through forgiveness, you will switch over to the HS's shorter script.
As you can see, there are really only two choices, even though it might seem like many: its either the ego or the Holy Spirit. The HS is any voice that calls for unity and the ego is any voice that calls for separation. Here is J (Jesus) hinting at his relationship with the HS:
John 16:5-15 "Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief. But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you."
I will briefly talk about how the HS works versus the ego. The Kingdom of God works through knowledge, and both the ego and the HS bring about different perceptions. The ego offers false perception, and the HS offers true perception. True perception works brings you closer to knowledge, and false perception brings you closer to illusion, and away from knowledge. Therefore, the HS is your only guidance towards God's reality.
