Hi there,
So I am not sure where to take this belief, but the Holy Spirit has come to reveal to me, that His soul dwelt in the flesh of Christ. When Jesus died on the Cross and was speared, blood and water coming out of His side, was a sign that the Holy Spirit's soul was leaving His body. This is what it means when it says the three (of the godhead) are one. Jesus heeded the Word and became flesh and dwelt among us, under the power of the Holy Spirit to bring the flesh to life! There is power in this!
When we address Christ as if He is going to do something for us, actually He does not have His own soul, that He might do that. That's because we are asking from a position of selfishness. We are asking as if His soul will give power to ours, when we should be praying in the power of the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit can bring Jesus' flesh to life, then surely the words of our faith in us can be brought to life in the soul of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus says "may they be one" He means "may they have one soul".
Just remember that when Christ started to bring you to life, with the power of the Holy Spirit, what He was doing was empowering you to live by your word, with His Holy Spirit's soul in you. When you are praying for others to be converted, you are praying that the Holy Spirit's soul be in them - that they also live by their word. God is able to move through the soul of the Holy Spirit, if we have the soul of the Holy Spirit in abudance, all things from God are ours!
I hope this has been of some encouragement.
God bless.
