Soul - the deeper voice of our deeper self
Spirit - the highest, most true and clear voice of our loftiest aspirations
Given the Padgett messages, it seems to me to be the other way around, and out of curiosity, I checked on what Christianity says in general about soul vs spirit, and more often than not found something like this:
Again, backwards from Padgett.While the two words are often used interchangeably, the primary distinction between soul and spirit in man is that the soul is the animate life, or the seat of the senses, desires, affections, and appetites. The spirit is that part of us that connects, or refuses to connect, to God.
I did find this article on the subject of the original Greek and Hebrew in the Old and New Testaments, so bookmarked it for myself in case I really want to go down this rabbit hole (probably not a productive use of my time). But I thought I'd post here just in case someone had a thought. Eva maybe?
