These statements seem to be nothing more than a collection of assumptions and opinions, including the first two statements "your memory/thoughts are in your brain" even though they are presented as fact. It is quite possible that the brain is simply a medium between consciousness and the body/physical reality, and that thoughts and memory are functions and attributes of nonphysical consciousness that the brain decodes and transmits so that one may utilize these mental functions in the physical world. Perhaps the mind resonates on a much higher frequency than the physical dimension and the brain in a conduit that allows one's consciousness/mind to interact within a lower vibrational body.

I like that way of looking at it. While we can figure out physical ways the brain works, there are parts of a person's self that may not be directly because of the brain.
