All life possesses, or is part of, spirit. The spirit is more "distinct" or "unique" in the case of higher organisms.

Sounds like Satanism to me. Class divisions, uniting with the earth's spirit which is part of the universe etc.
As for the distinctness or uniqueness, that sounds like Zen. Out of millions, only a few flower.
Wikipedia has another viewpoint on this. It's called outgroup homogeneity bias. Everybody has the tendency for it, I think. It just depends how much it holds sway over you, so you can't see anybody's worth except for your high-class best friends.

Define higher organisms...
Don't make the mistake of thinking just because humans walk and talk and appear to be the dominant form of life going around that that makes us 'higher lifeforms'.
Considering that 14 odd billion years ago we we all in the exact same location (pre-Big Bang) we're all made of the same stuff, and that includes the planets, stars and every lifeform, so it's a distinct possibility, when discussing the spirit, that planets themselves could have this (Mother Earth, Gaia?). If this were the case one would have to think we are well down the food chain there...

Yes, I totally agree. The spirit is what makes us all unique. The smallest creature has a spirit(I KNOW my cat does). You can feel the spirit of a bird when it's singing...When my Mama had a stroke and went into a coma, the doctor said, "what makes her who she is, is gone". He was talking about her spirit, her soul. As I watched her laying there in the coma, I could still "feel" her spirit. It may not have been in the contorted body, but "she" was still in that room...12 hours later...the body gave up. I still feel her spirit. She was truly "unique". Thank you for asking this question.

Yes, I believe that all life, from micro bacteria to the earth we live on has a spirit. Energy is spirit, if there was no spirit energy, then all life would be nothing but endless black nothingness.
It is much more complex than this, but hopefully you can grasp an understanding.

I believe that spirit is what inhabits life-forms, that's just me I suppose. I think that each spirit is unique, but not just to "higher" organisms.

i think we are like radios picking up signals from the consciousness that is behind all matter
because each of our "radios" are unique
our "selves" appear as separate unique instances
when actually we are one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively
therefore there is but one god, one spirit, one soul
no "selves" to go to heaven or hell
or to come from some place before our birth
our birth is not the beggining of our true self
only the beggining of a temporary reflection
if you see things this way it clears up quite a bit
of confusion
but its hard because we are so sold on the fundamental
notion that we exist as an observer
were stuck on seeing the world
in terms of subject/object
like we are on the outside looking in

No, but higher organisms possess ego which is misinterpreted as spirit.

Nothing like a soul or spirit exists.

No, the only created beings that have a spirit are human beings. God made humans in His image, in three parts. Body, soul and spirit. This reason alone testifies to the fallacy of evolution.

No, all organisms contain the same amount of "life force" or "spirit" as you call it, no matter how important or not they are.
