Your idea that memory is stored in the soul -- in what I'm calling the Universal Consciousness but which might be (as some believe) just one of an infinite number of individual Soul entities -- certainly would allow for "life after death", although I've yet to see a believable mechanism for the storage of useful information in that scenario.
