bodleing: When the ego suffers hurt, we may become dispirited, lose the energy for the journey. If we say he's a spirited person, are we not usually talking of someone who's ego drives them forward. I think spirit and ego are intrinsically bound together.
I stand right behind you, but spirit has to learn to overcome ego in order to be set free and join LIGHT. All our spirits, from reencarnation to the next ones, or say from body to body, are on a long path of learning towards Light...or as I call it, towards our true home.
bodleing: If soul is the purposiveness of life, the investment by nature in the individual, then is spirit the energy, the libdo, the eros for the journey?
I mentioned this before. A soul and spirit are the same. The spirit in our souls is the life force that energizes us either positively or negatively. Depends on our vibrations and personalities that shift from time to time.
Energy is the human being. Our energy is our consciousness, spirit, soul, and unconsciousness charged with positive and negative vibrations which constitutes our life force that is the essence of our spirit.

I believe thats a possibility too. But then in some religions its believed the spirit or soul can take the body of an animal , human or any life form till its liberated ..
ohh one min .. if u talk of spirit in the sense of the human spirit .. umm i think its synonymous with soul.
Otherwise spirit could also be the spirit or zest with which u lead life ...
As such talking of spirits can also be talking of ghosts which again are considered lost souls.
Further , my belief so far ... all life form thats alive is actually some soul in its cycle of liberation . I mean based on the philosophy of Karma , ur soul occupies a higher or lower life form on its journey towards liberation.

Yes Riya, thats what was meant by spirit, zest for life, vigour, motivation. How far and with how much purpose can we travel when our spirit suffers hurt? Our spirit drives us forward, but can be fickle and can be sensitive, especially to the sometimes unrealistic demands of the ego.

Your Soul is your life being, all of your good. Your Spirit is what keeps your soul going, both good and bad.

That's simple enough! The soul, is our entity who dwells inside a earthly body. The spirit is invisible to the naked eye, like a atom, it is what drives our thinking and doing!
