from one's own perspective, you only know for sure that you exist and that you have a spirit.
Uhm, we don't know if we have a spirit or soul at all.
The following;
the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life would be the definition of 'soul' or 'spirit' .. People say our souls or spirits are responsible for our actions, the 'controlling mind' behind it all, but why would it be something different from our brain? We can't proof that it actually is, so it's definitely not a fact.
Do we even know for sure that what we decide to do is really our own decision?? No, hence the theories of people in caves and life being an illusion projected on a wall and the dozen other similar theories.
Personally I believe I have total control over my life, but it's a belief, these kind of things aren't per say facts or can really be proven because there's no possibility of doing something over a second time in exact the same situation. And even if there was and you'd do the same over and over again, what does it prove?
Cheers
