How Do I Know that I have a Soul?

I would like to understand what is soul.
How I see it is that the soul is a combination of body and spirit. That is when God breathed His Spirit into Adam he then became a "living" soul (i.e. combination of body and spirit such as flour and water making"dough").
I look at the "breathing of His Spirit" into Adam as "Birthing a Spirit into Adam" so that the Spirit in Adam was the real Adam whose body that God made from the slime of the earth would not have been able to move and have its being.
Therefore, how is it that the "soul" can die does it mean that the "soul" that came from God to inhabit the "body" can experience death.
This is still confusing me.
If my assumptions are wrong I stand to be corrected.
Please help.

Tzvi: Do you agree on Yanki Tauber´s definition of soul?
Have you read Sholom Lipskar's definition of soul?

Kindly enlighten me,

You don't have a soul... You ARE soul/spirit/infinite conciousness. Your body is a vehicle for this experience on earth. A lot of religions lead us to believe that God and Heaven is some place far away and to get there you must follow so many rules but god/heaven/enlightenment is within everyone's heart. Everyone has their own unique way of going into their heart and finding "God"... Of course this is only my beliefs, I'm not saying this is true, I'm just giving my opinion :)

Your soul is the quintessential expression of feeling joy, sadness, sorrow, despair, passion, and love. Your soul’s purpose is for you to be happy, experience your true self, and to evolve into all that you are.
Your soul is your personal history book of all your memories from past lives. They remain in your inner consciousness until patterns of mental, emotional, or physical pain kicks you out of your comfort zone into fear or healing.
The essence of your soul is the basis of all knowledge and awareness. Your knowledge comes from your life (s) experiences, and nothing happens to you without your permission.
Your soul gains wisdom from experiencing the fragility of your personality. They are misunderstood and judge by many. Human frailties are mistakes we make, and we pray that we do not have to suffer because of them.
Your soul loves and accepts you the way you are, and holds no judgment on how you experience your life. It provides you the opportunity to change

Sorry but I don't really understand the arbitrary comments on this thread, which is probably dead anyway, but a lot of anything about the soul posted on the internet is just completely unsupported. It has been realized that the brain is simply a big mesh of molecules that can tell their fellow molecules if they're in an on or off state, 0 or 1, like binary. And the state of these cells can also be influenced by the cells around them. So given all this - my interpretation is that the brain is just a nice big complex computer that has been programmed through evolution to do the things that are beneficial to itself and man kind. Now I would just like someone to tell me where the idea of a soul is supported in any of this or in a topic I haven't grazed.

I guess technology is helping us connect our wires inside so we can properly focus

So from what I can tell from this conversation is that a soul isn't what thinks and makes decisions for us but its simply an observer of the brain and what it does. So our soul takes the information and feelings from the brain and then expeiriences it but has no say in what the brain does? So free will is simply an illuision created by an overly advaned decision making device called our brain, and it is just displaying its processes and sensory input to our soul? That would mean that as my brain is writing this (ironically) the only true concious part of me that isint just an evolved replicating robot is simply watching with no way to alter it?

That would be one way to look at it :D. Maybe our soul can influence our brain with moral judgement or something... Or maybe our soul is just lent to us from god :D

We have to agree on the definition of a soul to be able to talk about it.

Each jewish denomination has its own definition of a soul. That is the reason why you hear such a variety of opinions concerning the soul.

Like everything else in judaism before you embark in a debate about a soul you have to refer to the talmud and quote the authority who wrote about it.

I do not believe that the members of the Hevra Kadisha (burial society) have seen a soul.

Anon - tell me how you know what a soul is and why animals have one.

If you can not identify what a soul is, and what constitutes having one, how can you claim that you know animals and we have one?

Which animals do not have one? Why?

Please define and locate a soul, so I can find out what one is.

Oh My Word. All animals have souls. They think like us. They speak like us. They just don't have the power to overrule us! Remember, we are animals aswell! Think of it like that. Hinduism is the root of religion but has been reaaaaaaally adopted i believe - why not adopt one more thing?
