Consciousness is magical. All memories from the past are retained in this non-physical spot and cannot be erased. Each and every life uses these memories to plan and organize their lives. For instance, insects and animals know what to eat and where to live based on their memories. Human beings use their memories the same way. These memories have brought our planet earth to what it is today.
How consciousness works, no one knows. But what I believe is that memories do not reside in physical bodies. And if they don't have a physical home, then, they forever exist. This is the magical part of our world.
Speaking of consciousness isn't complete without speaking of mind. As mentioned in other post, mind is similar to central processing unit compared to computer. Without mind, consciousness cannot exist - they are, sometimes, used interchangeably. Mind saves new information and updates the old information in this very consciousness. Mind, too, does not have a physical home. Once born, it lives and grows forever. Mind is unique and has its own consciousness (memory storage).
This topic will lead us to explore the concept of reincarnation.
