Where'd He come from? It seems there is a step missing somewhere.
Perhaps he is referring to what we might call the "argument from incorporeality." The mind is incorporeal, and thus could not have come from nature. So there exists something beyond nature from whence this incorporeal thing, the self, came.

No, I am not saying that. The mind could have very well have come from nature, but nature came from God, is my belief.
But it is more the spirit, the one I feel God gave me, and my soul.
It might be better for your argument if you didn't multiply all these entities. Just settle on one. "Mind" will do as well or better than the others. The Mind is the self is the spirit is the soul.

It is not an argument. It's a question, and everyone can answer how they choose.
Oh, well, in that case my answer is that the "self" and "free will" is illusion.
yet some people try to objectively explain feeling of self here.
Sidlined says the brain doesn't have any feelers. So if somebody sticks a needle in your brain, you won't feel anything. I've never had a needle stuck in my brain, as far as I know, so I can't say for sure. From this lack of feelers comes the aura of incorporeality. The "self" SEEMS incorporeal.
