British biologist Rupert Sheldrake has long advocated his case that memory and mental functions do not occur within brain matter but are transduced from neurons to an ether-like storage medium that underlies all matter, possibly the Zero Point Energy Field described by quantum mechanics, also known as the Dirac Sea.
If this energy field is a storage medium, then there is a potential that the content of our mind, our entire life history, could be downloaded at some point, making for a form of immortality. But rather than being download onto robotic computer chips, a better likelihood would be to download into an artificially grown ripped, buff and hung body...lol! Seriously, Sheldrake’s ideas are supported by his experiments and bear looking into.
Have you ever read, damn I forget who it was, but he said something to the effect that if we didn’t have memory time and space would be non-existent because how could you prove it much less be aware of it? Everything would be in the now and you wouldn’t be able to differentiate change. For example looking at the ticking seconds on a clock it would always be in the same position because you wouldn’t remember where it was before. So time and space were an illusion, damn I wish I saved that, it was really mind blowing I read it a long time ago, but I was like daamn that is so right. We base everything on memory so how do we know that memory isn’t messed with somehow? How do we know we are aging? Going forward? Like light passes through our eyes upside down but our brain makes it right side up. How do we know time goes in any direction? Maybe a second ago I was 90 years old now I’m 50 and next second I’m 10.
