Just to confirm I do not believe memories are stored -- so possibly I may disagree with Open Mind on this. Makes a change from skeptics though who all seem to sing from the same hymn sheet!
I would hypothesise it's not the case that memories are somehow etched in the brain in the form of information which the mind interprets. I think this is nonsensical. Rather I would hypothesis that memories are a direct perception by the self of past events. Most memories are however completely blocked by the brain. In the afterlife realm we will have full access to all our memories i.e our perception of our memories will be unimpeded.
Possibly memories may be stored, but not in the form of information i.e not in the form of an effective string of 0's and 1's. But I'm not sure what that would mean although I'm certainly willing to listen to peoples' ideas. |
