If your memories are stored in your brain...how will you remember who you are in the afterlife?

memories are stored in the "cloud"

Where is that?

idk bout the christian idea..but lobotomy did nothing for me..lol jk.. because memory is in the mind...there is a difference between brain, mind, and soul...but christianity Im afraid already divided that up for you, so I cant give you the answer your looking for, without talking about all the things your not allowed to believe in..huh, I didnt even mention ego..damn..

Whoever said i was Christian dick wad.

youre not really a dick wad ive just been waiting to use that word all day.

Ego is related to memory.

Maybe that's why they say after you die you are shown your entire life in detail on a big screen, and can even feel what you felt at the time of an incident and how the others around you felt or were affected by what you did or said at the time. Maybe that's the only way we can remember, by some spirit technology of recording everything that ever happened in our life.

Memories are only processed by the brain, not stored.

the problem is remembering who we are in THIS life

Maybe you won't. Maybe there is no afterlife.

Memory is non local in the brain, it does not mean they are not "stored" there. The brain does function like a cloud network.

Maybe.

Memories don't exist that's just your imagination making them up

sorry, wrong dickwad...relax..I got three kids here Im chasin...

did anyone watch walking dead ts 19 episode?

everything you were or ever will be is dead when your dead

just the moment at crossing we will get USB sticks to download all info on. I heard that USB stick can hold 1million TG. usefull memory is selected at downloading. things like "where did I put my keys" and "must remember to lower the toiletseat after pissing" will be deleted since these are no longer usefull data.

Come on now dude. Your not Morpheus. I'm not Neo.

Memories are just details used for learning "feelings".

In this life you learn to love... can't learn the feeling of love without experiencing the opposite.


So, your soul 'remembers' strong feelings. If your feelings are misplaced or you haven't learned 'love', you either come back for another lesson or get stuck here attached to some sentimental object you 'love'.


In a nutshell....
The knowledge of the universe, which we are all adding to every day becomes known to us when we pass... details (memories stored in your brain) are trivial and useless.

dickwad LOL.

meant to quote it...sorry op...really sorry...got bedtime and complete chaos behind me..signing off for a bit, got a real job to do...but thanks for the reality check ...I appreciate it..

Memory is all to do with the subconscious, and it is not stored in the brain. It is however "expressed" through the brain, hence why when a part of the brain is damaged people sometimes forget who they are completely, since the damaged brain can't receive the information from the subconscious to remember..

Secondly, you don't remember who you are in the after-life anyway. You aren't even conscious of the fact that you are dead.

You are however re-united with your memories to a certain degree, family members probably will be apart of that, as well everything else that you can think off.

yes so either way, if you believe in an afterlife or not, the actual objects of affection will be left behind when the brain rots.

imagination is where mind and brain meet with soul and fight ego..

No I was kidding. be safe dude. Watch those kids!

Your "I" - or ego will be gone. No more I?

This must be devastating to the devout religious.

Meditation may significantly impact brain regions that are associated with memory, sense of self, empathy and stress, according to a study published in the journal Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging.

A team of scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found that meditating does not only lend a sense of peace and physical relaxation, but it may also provide cognitive and psychological benefits that persist throughout an individual's day.

"This study demonstrates that changes in brain structure underlie some of these reported improvements and that people are not just feeling better because they are spending time relaxing," said senior author Sara Lazar of the MGH Psychiatric Neuroimaging Research Program.

Images were taken of the brain structure of 16 participants two weeks before and after they enrolled in the eight week-long Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program. These images revealed that their gray-matter density increased in the hippocampus, a region that is important in learning and memory.

The researchers concluded that meditation can improve brain structure, and that such a practice could also ensure mental and emotional well-being.

Memory problems are common among those with Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects more than five million Americans, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
