Its much easier to explain the vast depth and abilities of our minds if you look at it with this broader perspective.
Memory is one of the clues that leads me to believe its not actually stored within the physical body, but offsite in the realms and dimensions where souls operate. Just look at a human brain. I can't accept from a visual analysis standpoint that all of our knowledge, reasoning, memory, creativity, etc. can all be coming just from that blob. No way.

They can fire up random memories by stimulating synapses in the brain.. memories are stored in the brain. Thats pretty much all there is to it.
Consciousness is tied directly to the brain... as is memory, personality, knowledge, creativity which are all altered by damage to the brain. If it wasn't, someone with a gradually increasing brain disorder like Alzheimer's Disease wouldn't slowly lose their personality memories etc.
Don't underestimate that blob, don't judge a brain by it's cover, we will no doubt not fully understand it for centuries.
