Ah, but I 'had' such an experience once too, although I 'saw' myelf still
walking down the street below 'me' & it didn't really change my sense of
'self' all that much, although it *was an interesting experience for the
few moments it lasted. Was that 'me' in my 'soul'? I couldn't really say.
Was it a memorable experience? Well, yeah...
On the other hand, I do agree, this exchange is great fun, & I'm enjoying
reading all the various takes on the 'matter'...

edge of greater length, this
lyric forever error, this
something embarrassingly clear, this
