The Soul is fixed firmly in the human body.....(The Heart)
If the Soul leaves the body, the body will die......... like unplugging a computer. The soul only leaves the body upon
the passing of a human being.
The Spirit is a flowing form of energy (We will call it that for now), that is used as a form of transportation between man and God, and God and man. Kind of like the operation of a
fiber optics array in a sophisticated telecommunication system.
The spirit can move freely outside the body and the body will not die.
This is the difference between the Soul and the Spirit in a three dimensional world.

Soul : Which makes a person the distinct person they are. This would include our sense of identity, but also what makes up that identity, most especially what arouses our emotions, or awakens our spiritual or moral force and sense of destiny or purpose. It is where our freedom is rooted.
(This is a Greco-Roman way of putting it. The Hebrew terms usually used in the Bible for soul and spirit have broader meanings, almost like the later idea of 'self'.) In many religions(also including Hinduism), the soul is seen as immortal -- that is, it's a side of you that does not come to an end. Christians believe that the soul is brought back together again with its body when God's Reign comes in full.
spirit : That aspect of our being which animates us -- makes us live, move, change, do, be active, feel, think, interact. God put that into us. To be 'disspirited' is to hide ourselves away and let it just ebb out of us, like an untended wound leaks blood. To be 'inspired' is for the Holy Spirit to quicken that aspect of us, to power it up and get it going at peak effectiveness. God is a spirit, and is the source and creator of all other spirits.

The soul and the spirit are not the same.
The “spirit” (Hebrew., ru´ach; Greek., pneu´ma) should not be confused with the “soul” (Hebrew., ne´phesh; Greek., psy·khe´), for they refer to different things.
Hebrews 4:12 speaks of the Word of God as ‘piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and their marrow.’ (Compare also Phillipians 1:27; 1Thess 5:23.)
The soul (ne´phesh; psy·khe´) is the creature itself and not a separate part of the body that floats off after death.
The following scriptures show that the soul can die
Ezekiel. 18:4
Matt. 10:28
Acts 3:23
Genesis 2:7 shows that Adam became a living soul (notice he wasnt given a soul) So man is a soul. Soul is the creature itself
The spirit (ru´ach; pneu´ma) generally refers to the life-force of the living creature or soul,The body needs the spirit in much the same way as a radio needs electricity—in order to function. To illustrate this further, think of a portable radio. When you put batteries in a portable radio and turn it on, the electricity stored in the batteries brings the radio to life, so to speak. Without batteries, however, the radio is dead. So is another kind of radio when it is unplugged from an electric outlet.
Similarly, the spirit is the force that brings our body to life. Also, like electricity, the spirit has no feeling and cannot think. It is an impersonal force. But without that spirit, or life-force, our bodies “expire, and back to their dust they go,” as the psalmist states.
Psalm. 146:4: “His spirit [Hebrew, from ru´ach] goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.”
Speaking about man’s death, Ecclesiastes 12:7 states: “The dust [of his body] returns to the earth just as it happened to be and the spirit itself returns to the true God who gave it.”
When the spirit, or life-force, leaves the body, the body dies and returns to where it came from—the earth. Comparably, the life-force returns to where it came from—God. (Job 34:14, 15; Psalm 36:9) This does not mean that the life-force actually travels to heaven. Rather, it means that for someone who dies, any hope of future life rests with God. His life is in God’s hands, so to speak.
Only by God’s power can the spirit, or life-force, be given back so that a person may live again.
How comforting it is to know that this is exactly what God will do for all of those resting in “the memorial tombs”
(John 5:28, 29)
At the time of the resurrection, God will form a new body for a person sleeping in death and bring it to life by putting spirit, or life-force, in it.

My understanding is that Our Creator made this World for the enjoyment of His Spirits. To see the colors, watch the animals play. Our spirit can bond with, or live inside other things and see what it is like. And some stayed too long and got trapped by the forces that create our material level.
The soul is a heavier spirit body. It looks like us when we first leave this world. And is subject to baser aspects of spiritual things like magnetic forces. The spirit, is a light body, that once we regain our spiritual heritage. Is not affected by the baser things, and can travel freely throughout Creation.

The "spirit" and the "soul" are terms that can be used interchangably to mean the part of a living being that is aware, and which lives on after the death of the body.
I have also read the soul referred to as "the spirit and body of man".

Technically they are same.
Soul refers to the inner and centre of the heart. When a person is alive, you can feel the soul. Soul travels from one place to another after the physical death of a person. As per Hinduism, soul takes 7 forms before reaching heaven or hell. When the soul is in intermediary stage, i.e in transition from one body to another, the soul is referred as spirit.

It depends what you mean. We the spirit soul are different from the Supreme Soul also known as Krishna,Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu,etc. He is great we are small. We have all the qualities of God but never in the same quantity (we never become God) Just as a drop of water has all the qualities of the great ocean but never becomes the great ocean. So we are simultaneously one with yet different from God. That is the Vedic Conclusion. Read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta PRabhupada go to harekrishnatemple.com tells all

Our soul IS our body.
The spirit is simply energy from God, on loan to us while alive:
