If you read deeply about your existence and your spirit, you will conceptually find that they're identical. Reaching a conclusion is something the mind does. Meditating on it, however, is another beautiful topic altogether.

I seem to be having trouble understanding exactly what it is you are getting at, here. You claim that, because I exist, I have a spirit...is this not so? If this is what you are saying, then do dogs and bugs, trees and rocks, also have spirits? They exist, so by the reasoning you give, they must also have spirits. Does every grain of sand on any given beach have a spirit, too? If you smash a rock in two, do you create another spirit? Or is the spirit something restricted entirely to humans? You have some s'plaining to do.
