In chapter 27
Locke says that we are the same person that we are conscious of our past and future thoughts and actions in the same way as we are conscious of our present thoughts and actions. If consciousness is this "thought" which doubles all thoughts, then personal identity is only founded on the repeated act of consciousness:
It means you are who you are...your memories reflect who you are in everyday life...this is what it means when you are conscious in our present thoughts. Its how you refelct from the past use for the present and future.

Our self identity is our memories and thoughts. Without our memory, we couldn't remember who we were; we'd be lost. Our memories is what makes us who we are. If we couldn't remember our parents, we wouldn't have a family. If we couldn't remember what we learned in school, we wouldn't have an education. All these things have built us to be the person we are today.
