I wanted to know everyones opinion on this.
So to those out there, which is the one you personally feel is correct, and why? Hi musicizgod,

IMO, neither of the two is correct. For consiousness to exist it is needed its object of consiousness. Once this object of consiousness fades, consiousness fades too. We can verify that in our daily life.

If the object is remembered by mind it is just that: a mental fabrication held by the mind as an idea of what was the object of consiousness. In neuroscience this is a property of brain function.

The influence of a person in the world is not consiousness but social construction of historical events. The social influence of an important person is only possible in accordance with the social agreement of what has to be remembered or what is possible to be remembered but is not about the consciousness of that person.

The case of the flame is just about the rise of temperature that provokes the other flame to "appear". If you keep at a distance both candles the one will never light the other.
