So it begins(?)...

Something has definitely happened to me. I still HAVE an ego, but now it's "over there." I haven't completely dissociated from it, but now I see that besides an ego, I also HAVE a Soul (or subconscious mind). I always thought I was a "me," but I'm something else, apparently.
This particular "new" me uses the subconscious and the conscious, the right and the left brain, the Soul and Spirit. If I use both, I AM neither....
Now what? Is this enlightenment? It can't be, or I wouldn't be questioning.
But still, it's the beginning of something big.
The new realization is that I have to integrate these two halves of myself because, up until now, I had thought they didn't belong to me. Or at least that my emotions had one job and "I" had another. I was (and still am, but to a MUCH lesser extent) identifying with my function of reason. How could I if I can examine it?
What/Who am I? What's the next step?
