Whats the difference between soul and spirit?

Soul food, soul music, alcoholic spirit.

The following is just my opinion; my own twist on the subject. I could be mistaken, but I don't think so...

Spirit -- the driving enegry
Soul -- the concious identity

Today these are often thought of as interchageable. However, I believe "spirit" represented merely a non-religious driving energy, analogous to battery power. To supernaturalists, residual or leftover power persists as is what a "ghost" consists of, much like an echoe.

With that consideration, the "Holy Spirit descended" might be rendered as "the energy of holiness was directed or channeled from the source of such energy".

"Soul" was a religious representation of the identity that survives death, usually with a destination that is determined by its purity or stability, and not seen or experienced by the living after its departure.

We can see/hear/feel Aunt Marsh'a ghost (spirit), walking the upstairs hall as she did in life.

We do not see/hear/feel Aunt Marsha's soul.

Regarding previous entry, please pardon a few typos. By the time I saw them through my early morning no-coffee-yet mindfog, it was too late to edit them out.

Soul is man's higher intelligence, is the Wisdom of the Father who came forth through the divine light of the only begotten Son. Soul cannot keep life alive, the spirit does this. Soul is what separates man from all other animal kingdoms. Soul is located in the heart area, mingled with the lower nature of man, the instinctual spirit located below the sternum bone.

The mingling of soul (female in essence) and the instinctual spirit (male in essence) manifested ego (the illegitimate son attached to the flesh) from the psyche of the flesh.

Ego is mans personal gods, in all religions, wears many hats, has many names.

A few of the names are, Angel of light, Satan, the devil, Lucifer, the double minded, the blind one, copy cat, the god of this world and so forth.

Ego uses soul like his personal secretary, and soul sleeps imagines its spirit having a. human experience so ego takes credit for souls wisdom calls himself both father and son, having no respect for and forgetting the Mother and daughter. We're in the II coming of Christ. This is the part where soul is redeemed within man, raptured up through the light of the Father who is the Christ within, transforms by the renewing of the mind.

Who is able to understand the hidden mysteries of Christ?
