Store consciousness

Okay kiddo, great question! Store consciousness is a really interesting idea from Buddhism. Do you know what consciousness means? It's when you're aware of things around you, like when you're listening to me right now. Store consciousness is like a big warehouse in your brain that stores all of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It's like a big filing cabinet where your brain puts all the things you've learned and experienced throughout your life.

So, let's say you see a beautiful sunset. Your eyes see the colors, your brain processes the information, and then it stores that experience in your store consciousness. Later on, when you see another sunset, your brain will remember what it was like the first time and you'll be reminded of the nice memory.

But store consciousness isn't just about happy memories. It also stores things like fears and traumas. If you have a scary experience, your brain will remember it and store it in your store consciousness. This can affect how you feel and act in the future.

So, think of store consciousness as a big library in your brain. Every time you learn something new or experience something, your brain puts it in a book and adds it to the library. And when you need to remember something, your brain goes back to the library to find the book that has the information you need.
