No, I already explained why I don't think there is a soul - and logically if there is no soul, there's no point in looking deep within to find it. Your rejoinder was "I can't explain how it works, only that it does", which is pretty well the end of the debate, isn't it? What do you want me to say, "Oh well, ya got me there"?

Refute my first argument with something other than saying "I have no idea why I'm right - but I AM!", and then I'll go further. Otherwise, there is no common ground to debate upon - mostly because you are not interested in debating in the first place, you are too busy proselytizing your creed and inviting others to buy into it, much like peter12 prefers bemoaning our corrupt materialistic "liberal" society and pimping some kind of uber-Stoic renaissance.
