Philosophy - The Diamond Approach - Individuality as Memories

Memories Compose the Sense of Oneself as a Separate Individual
The sense of oneself as a separate individual, which as we have seen depends upon the development of a cohesive self-image, can be seen as composed of memories and, in fact, cannot exist without its connection to memories, to personal history. But the memory of a person is not the same as a person. The memory is of something that supposedly existed at some point in the past.
