...so long as one has their memory, and knows who they are, they are always themselves. That is the core of the being, I believe-- without memory, we may turn out quite differently, but even with external influence affecting some change... if we are aware of who we are, there will never be a complete alteration.
I think you must be right. [So where does that leave her dumb swiss cheese brain.] For all that my studies emphasize the soul, it is hardly immutable. I can. . . imagine waking up empty of any experiences, and filling oneself with new ones, and becoming an entirely different person that one would have been otherwise.
