Stile,
The junk drawer idea is cute but a little stupid.
Who exactly owns the junk drawer?
Now if you answered, "I do", you have a key to what the human spirit is.
You are not the things you observe. You are not your kitchen stove, the living room chair, your wife, or me.
Is your body in good shape, or is it fat? Can you always make it do what you want, or is it sometimes too tired? BTW if you can objectively look at your body....that can't be you......you are the thing looking at it.
How about your mind? Are you able to look at that? That junk drawer in your mind is filled with crap you have forgotten about. You close one eye and still see 3D, that's not possible unless you have software running to do that. What is all the stuff in your mind or junk drawer?
You need to see what all that is so it doesn't affect your thinking or physical well being.
You can objectively look at your thinking which is your mind so you are not that. You are the thing looking at it.
You, as a spiritual being, are that thing which looks at your body, and your mind, and all the rest of existence.
Stile, you are not God, but you are the same kind of thing that God is. A spiritual being able to observe the universe using a body and mind to do so.
Go and look yourself. I don't sell salvation and don't like the people who do.
Don't believe me, go and look yourself.
The human spirit is YOU!
