WHAT WE MEAN BY MEMORY? Memory is the mechanism by which world information is collected in our brain, to give us an understanding of who we are.

Indeed, strong emotions like love and hate emerge from the brain, quite the reverse of the ancient stories that tell us that love emerges from our souls. Sex drive and the impulse to bear children often emerge from the brain, in addition to desires and body functions. All of these actions, processes and impulses arise at an unconscious level, because our brain does not have to
