How could a non-physical spirit store, physical memories?

Question

Spirits are not physical entities.
Brains are physical entities.
Past experiences are stored in our physical brains, we call that, Memory.
Injury can damage portions of the physical brain that store memory and can alter or erase memories completely.

If human spirits exist... after death, spirits can have no memory. right?

Answer 1

All reality is one thing. Not one thing is separate from any other.
Right now you are a spiritual being having a physical experience. When this physical experience is over, you will return to that spiritual consciousness that perceives "All" - past, present and future.

Answer 2

You are right but what spirits do have, are impressions. That is why ghosts, if you believe that sort of thing, resent change.

My aunt and uncle who live in a very old home in Hamilton, Ontario, claim that their home is haunted. They have slowly, over the years rebuilt their house. They claim that the presence in their home, does not go into the newly remodeled parts and only stays in the original one's.

One time, they wanted to record the sounds the entity made while they were not home. They left a cassette player on record while they were gone. When they came home, the tape was gone. Not the cassette now, but the actual, magnetic tape inside the plastic cassette was gone. This same ghost once sat on my cousins' bed, until she said, "Get the F out of my room"! Then the weighted feeling of the presence disappeared.

This explains why, when I was a little kid going there, they never let me in the basement, only just once with my uncle to see his train set. And never, ever again.

Answer 3

Wow
Good one.
Sure, brain is matter, and mind/spirit is immaterial...
Or is it?
Many would maintain that your mental and spiritual construct is nothing but seemingly random electrical activity,
but...
Energy fields are capable of existing in a host of states, all in superposition. Were the energy field that is your mind to collapse...is that death or just what happens naturally when you, say, dream?
Dunno - every emotion you feel, every memory you record changes the state of your personal field..
If energy can neither be created or destroyed, a bunch of you goes somewhere...
Discharge into the great beyond.
I do imagine that the part of you known as your personality, being useless in the spirit realm, just grounds out because it is useless, but your memories...
Your memories are of value to the collective soul

Answer 4

I wonder if the human spirit, or soul as I would call it, still has the impressions of all these memories upon them. Isn't the spirit built out of emotions, and would thus know who it loves or hates, what to fear and what not to fear? Maybe you're right, maybe it won't know the specifics of *why* it learned to hate or love this or that, but maybe the impression of those memories are still apparent.

Answer 5

This testifies to the connection between the physical, and the spiritual. When our spirit is confined to a physical body, as we all presently are, our consciousness is limited to physical things and experiences. When our physical body dies, and we are set free from it, we still retain the memories we accumulated in our lifetime.

Answer 6

A non-physical spirit, that is every where, all the time doesn't use memory. It uses it's eyes...the word is omniscient...

Answer 7

Consider Jesus Christ. Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Answer 8

i dont think brains are entities, but no, you are right in your logic path there, except that if you lost all of your memory, would you still be you? i think the answer lies in that question.

Answer 9

They can't. They don't even exist in the first place.

Answer 10

Because He's God and you are human, therefore, your limited mind cannot grasp much about God.
