I don't know exactly what it is, but I can tell you what I feel.
My soul is who I am, the chemical make-up of my brain, my DNA, my thoughts, whatever. It seems to me mostly physical, and can be damaged.
My Spirit, wasn't awakened until about 2 years ago, and that is when I felt something different inside of me. No doubt, someone will say it is just my mind playing games with me, but that's ok.
About a month and a half ago, I had a strange experience, that was probably caused by a severe migrain headache. I actually did not know who, what, or where I was, or what time of year it was. It lasted all of 1 second, and then my head was screwed up for about 2 weeks afterward. It happened the night I got a pretty bad headache.
Yea, I had every test in the world done to me, from MRI's, EEG, blood work, x-rays, you name it. They never found out exactly what it was. They even thought it was a seizure, and gave me medicine for it. I took one pill, and said forget this crap. What a bad experience.
The funny thing, is when that moment happened, and for that split second, I did not know who I was, but I knew my spirit. I felt like me, whoever that was, and I knew I was me, and that would not change. I think that was my spirit.
The next week or so, I had trouble maintaining thoughts is my head. You know in a chess match when you think several moves in advance, well I do that on a regular basis, with everything, since I am into so much, running my own business and everything.
I couldn't keep the first move in my head. The next day, I couldn't remember the easiest songs when I played in the church. I was putting wrong words in my sentences, and I knew it. But my spirit was there, and I felt like me. I was not scared, I felt like God was going to handle the situation. Funny, I felt like God was trying to show me something, maybe about my spirit, and how separate it is from the physical being?
Oh and just becasue I felt like God was going to handle it, doesn't mean I should ignore technology in the least.Everything is from God anyway, so it was a learning experience to go through. From the begining, I thought they wouldn't find what was wrong, and in time I would be fine, and that is what happened.
I know this is all subjective, but it's what I went through.
Lol, I thought it was Christmas when I lost mind, and it was spring. Funny how I thought it was Christmas.

I believe it was a headache that caused it, and there was a tingling in my head for 2 weeks that followed, and headaches.
It affected my memory.
I feel fully recovered from it now.
My point was, I guess that even though I lost all that memory, I still had a feeling "of", or a sense of being? Which even though I couldn't relate it to anything, I knew it was me.
