In what part of your body do you keep your memories? Do you know? Do you find them in your thumb? Are they in your nose? Maybe lodged in the mucus membrane? Even if they were, how could you perceive them if you didn't have a mind to do it with?

When you say "when your body goes you ain't coming back," who or what is the "you" you refer to there? I don't understand what you are saying your experience is. Your body is gone right now? Where did it go? Your mind is left here, but your body is gone?
