Thats exactly what I thought when I wrote it. Explaining just why you can remember biologically stored memory from a body that doesn't exist would require me to invent some kind of external memory, or spiritually bound entity where memory exists outside of my physical body. Unless memory actually isn't bound physically. I'm hoping neuroscience can help me out one day. I don't know.

It could be that memory as we know it changes as well, and we carry our lifetimes with us in forms like karma, but thats all useless speculation. I'll try to let you know when I get there.
