In truth, there is no individual soul, what we perceive as the individual soul is the result of falsely attributing the nature of our observing consciousness (sentience) to the non-sentient things which it observes such as the body, thoughts, memories, emotions, sensory perceptions and so on. When we isolate sentience from the things which it observes we find that it turns out to be not individual.

>but surely even when we remove all the contents of experience/sentient, surely my sentience differs from others by the very fact that it has a different set of images appearing to it than other sentences
This objection to the soul or sentience being non-individual is not sound, because when you isolate sentience from its objects, there are no distinguishing features remaining which can be used as proof of its difference from the sentience or soul of others. Every distinguishing feature is really a non-sentient thing observed by your sentience which you are describing. But sentience itself is formless, homogenous, without partitions, transparent and immediately self-revealing knowing.
