Okay, this is what I believe too.
But some describe it as if we all were literally one – in so far as that the thing that makes my conscious experience is the same thing that makes yours or anyone else’s conscious experience. How can I refute this assertions?

So then we are not actually ONE but rather the individual parts of ONE.
Like the parts of a car are not one but they together make up one car.

In what way?
And what do you understand by a soul?

In the mood for something far more simple? In Africa they have the phrase "Ubuntu", which means "I am because we are." That's the 'seed'.

I do not think much of any other approach than logic and inner and outer observation.

I would be grateful if would use a more universal terminology. What is “form”??
The term "form" is normally understood synonym to the term "structure".
So why should I think that the “soul [as] an energetic structure exists independently of form” since form = structure?

If you refer with form to our perception of matter the answer is:
It’s highly plausible that the soul can exist independent of matter because I found evidence that there is reincarnation. If there is reincarnation there necessarily has to be something that outlasts our biological body (=matter/form). The thing that outlasts (and therefore exists independently of) our biological body is what I call soul.
