It is misconception to assume that there is a soul living in a body in the first place.
Is Beethoven inside the radio when we are listening to Beethoven sonata in the radio?
Is there an actor moving here and there in the television set that you watch?
There is no solid proof that memory are stored in the brains. Brains are just like a radio and television. If a surgeon went inside your brain, there would be no trace of information about what you eat last night for example. Memory resides at the level of the soul until we call it up. Once we consciously decide to recall our dinner, electrical activity and a release of chemicals signal that the brain is at work. But before we pull up the memory, it has no location in your brain. Simply asking a question or trying to recall an event converts a virtual memory into a real memory.
