Do we have a spirit and, if so, what role does it play in our relationship with God?

I have a rather Buddhist view of dreams, so do not necessarily read them the same way as you.

The point I was trying to make in my pointers above, is if you wish to understand the spirit and the spiritual realms, then one can do a lot worse than look to the Spiritual Traditions for, if nothing else, a grounded anthropological context.

It does seem to me you're trying to feel your way blindfolded through territory already well-mapped by others, or, as another analogy has it, cross the ocean without chart or compass or any sure idea where you're heading.
 
That is contradictory.
You imply that Lucifer was "kicked out", but you are not, merely because Jesus "paid for you".
Makes no sense .. we are all responsible for our own sins (crimes), regardless of belief.
Yes, lucifer was kicked out, I have never been in Heaven, so how can I be kicked out? Yes, we are responsible for our sins..... that is why we will all go to hell as our punishment.
 
That is so in Hinduism also. For a small good deed, perhaps half-a-day in heaven. For a small evil deed, perhaps half-a-day in hell.
One gets what the deed deserves. Total proportionality.
Even Gods cannot interfere.The Lord of Death, Yama has his rules. No partiality, even when it concerns souls who were not Hindus.
Well, Hindu Gods have no problems with sinners. They are allowed further births to improve after they have served their time in hell. Gods cannot do much about that. But sinners get a total of 8.4 million life-times (Lakh Chaurasi). Gods are kind. :)

So too in Sikhism:
"Chaurasi Lakh refers to the concept in Sikhism of 8.4 million life forms or lifetimes that a soul can experience through the cycle of reincarnation. It emphasizes the importance of human life as a rare opportunity to achieve spiritual liberation and connect with God."

Does all your gods have different rules?
