The very fact of self-awareness would bring with it a sort of "doppelganger" - you are observing yourself - that's two people! I think it is this oddity of conscious existence that has helped to produce the idea that there exists a sort of "essence of self" that has an independent existence -soul?

I really like such concise arguments. The only thing that still puzzles me is this asymmetry: Against all odds, the self-aware person which I experience is no one else but I, and this could just be not so.
Anyway, thanks for taking out of James' all-in-one-breath post some parts which can be handled.
