G-dly soul the same as spirit?

Thank you for your question/comment. The word "spirit" is a vague word to describe G-d's animating life-force within everything. When we talk about a G-dly soul, we speak specifically about the G-dly spirit within the human being. As Rabbi Isaac Luria teaches us that even a stone has a spirit that keeps it alive. When using the word spirit, we can also refer to the G-dly force that drives us towards negativity. The term G-dly Soul is that G-dly spirit that seeks spirituality and G-dliness in our lives.

G-dly soul the same as spirit?

To me many new things or maybe just different definitions of words. One of them: I thought we have body, soul and spirit, and that the spirit is the part that is the image of G-d, since, as I`ve understood g-d is not flesh but spirit, isnt that so? Maybe it is an other defenition of the words and that when you say G-dly soul, it is what I call spirit so in fact we mean the same?

death and the afterlife

this is great stuff. you need to go mainstream so that people don't think that all there is to judaism is what Hollywood says.
