Terminology can be so confusing.  I have read (from a variety of sources) that the soul and the spirit are one and the same, i.e.
that they refer to the same thing.

Whether they are different perhaps relates to overall context, what one person means by it compared with what another does?  Similarly 'medium and 'psychic' or 'spiritualism' and 'Spirituallism'.  


The older I get the more I'm aware of just how tricky effective communication can be, even when both speak a language that's nominally the same!  Here in the USA I'm constantly aware that my English-English may not be understood as I intend by American-English speakers - and vice versa!!

pants and purse lol

I have read that they are different lol. But then I have also written that they are different and explained why.

One of the reasons that some versions of spiritualism believe that spirit and soul are separate is so that re-incarnation can occur at the original person's spirit can still be contacted..

pants instead of trousers (which are seen as underpants by some)  purse instead of handbag. hood instead of car bonnet, fenders instead of bumpers...  and on and on it goes but they're the easy ones!   What about 'charlie horse' for a cramp?   And 'lucking out' when you're luck's in or have been lucky?  Oh what fun we have!

Lol, it's a wonder any of us can ever understand each other

Thanks for clarifying what these terms mean to you.  I do not doubt that you are a nice person and spiritual too!  Also wise
 
Yes it is a wonder sometimes but we are dealing with the intangible although dictionary definitions offer some help/guidelines,
e.g. that is where spirit and soul can be seen to be defined as one and the same thing.

If we are making our own definitions, then this needs to be clarified/explained as and when we do so else it gets highly confusing.

Amy that sounds condescending "making our own definitions"? Isn't that what belief and experiences teach us? Just because a website, book or person says one thing is the truth doesn't mean we should all just accept it if we have proof of otherwise?

Beliefs are mostly shared by other people, i.e. not of our own making/definition.  Of course there can be personal add-ons to a specific belief which, if that is the case, need explanation if clarity and understanding is wanted.

Like I have said, I have heard that the soul and spirit are one of the same from MANY different sources, i.e. very, very far from being a single incident.
