Question: Through what vehicle does the memory function after death.
Answer: The mind is distinctly different from the body; it is something apart, standing independent of the body. The mind depends on the body for perceiving the outer experiences which it takes in through the senses, but the mind is independent of the body for holding its treasures which it has collected through the outer world, and retaining them. As we are accustomed to experience everything through the vehicle of the body - even our feelings - this makes us dependent for some time upon the body. But this does not mean that we cannot experience all that belongs to the mind without the help of the body.
