thank you ok so question is why do we remember things from our previous life and where is the memory stored actually our existence is three dimensional body, mind and soul gross body, subtle body and soul so when we go from one body to another body it is we go from the gross body to the next gross body the subtle body also goes so it is not just the soul the soul along with the mind goes because the mind is filled with desires and those desires the soul is identifying with those desires the soul is to fulfill and normally speaking the transition from one body to another is so traumatic, is so disorienting that most of our memories are wiped off however just as in day to day observation we see that different people have different capacities of memory so some people can remember what they did when they were 5 years old some people can’t remember what they did 5 minutes ago so we all have different memory capacities, now why is that that’s just because of past karma so like that there is variety in memory capacity based on past karma so some people by a peculiar brain blend of karma can remember their past lives now remembering a past life for us from a third person perspective might seem exciting who was I in the past life but actually for that person it can be quite disorienting, who am I? am I this person, am I that person so it can be disorienting so by some peculiar karma sometimes the soul remembers the past life one thing that happens is many memories of past life are when there is sudden death when the death is sudden at that time the soul is not able to process the event of death because it happens so abruptly and then because that event is not processed well so in a sense the soul moves to the next body but its thoughts its desires its ideas still remain connected to the previous body and that’s why the soul has memories of its past life and that is also why because the soul has that, oh I was shot I was shot and a bullet went from here and came out here that impression is there in the head and it is that impression, not in the head in the subtle body, in the mind that is there that impression causes the birth mark or the birth defect so the soul becomes scarred not physically but mentally and that mental scar comes out as a physical mark so the memories, where are they stored? they are stored in the brain as well as in the mind that means that the activities that we do each activity that we do, certain neuronal connections are formed, activity that we do again and again, those brain cell connections become tighter stronger, that’s how the brain memories are stored but they are not the only place where the memories are stored our memories are also stored somewhere else, that is the mind, because now scientists have found that even the brain cells are regenerated that means not only the cells die but cells are reborn also so the brain cells also get replaced periodically so if a memory was stored only in the brain then say, somebody give me a chit time is over, end the class somebody gives me a chit like that and suppose we remove all the molecules from the chit one by one by one and find all the molecules are replaced and still the message is there how is that possible? so all the brain cells are changed but still our memories remain that means our memories are not just stored in the brain, they are stored in the mind and from the mind they are represented in the brain and then from there they are manifest did I answer your question? thank you
