If my Spirit were my own personal Holy Ghost, it would imply my thoughts are separate from my soul, rather than deriving from it. Looking to my own Spirit for guidance in the darkest times implies my Spirit is separate from my body.
What about our subconscious minds? Are they separate from our souls? Are they separate from our bodies?

It suggests the GIFT of the Holy Ghost is meaningless, as that Spirit is already with me, from before I am born.
Are we GIVEN the Holy Ghost during the confirmation ordinance or confirmed to RECEIVE the Holy Ghost? Can a gift be given earlier and not received until later?
