Heart Transplantations Have Much to Teach Us About The Nature of Consciousness
A Midwestern Doctor – A Mid Western Doctor.com Aug 14, 2023
Story at a Glance:
•Organ transplant recipients often experience inexplicable personality changes and memories that appear to come from donor of the organ.
•In many of those cases, it appears that emotions which were trapped in the donor (e.g., because of the donor’s sudden traumatic death) transfer into the recipient.
•This transference provides critical insights into both the nature of consciousness and ways to mitigate many of the struggles transplant recipients face.

Modern science is founded upon a materialistic paradigm that rejects anything which suggests there is more to each human being than just our flesh and bones. Yet, as medical science finds more and more ways to pry open the doors between life and death, evidence always emerges suggesting the spirit is just as much a part of the human experience as our bodies and minds.
For example, cardiac resuscitation, a modern scientific miracle, made it possible to bring individuals who had died back from beyond the grave. In turn, there are many cases of resuscitated individuals reporting experiences (such as one witnessing and then recalling events that happened while they were clinically dead) that challenge medical science’s conception that conscious arises from electrical activity within the brain.
Organ Transplants
Organ transplants are another example of how medical science, through attempting to break a fundamental constraint of nature in order to save lives, simultaneously opened the door to an understanding of consciousness that challenges the entire materialistic paradigm modern science rests upon.
My interest in this topic first emerged from a conversation years ago with a very innovative mentor who had a knack for finding unconventional solutions to otherwise unsolvable medical issues. The topic at hand was organ transplantation, something which typically suffers from the following issues:
•Recipients can experience a variety of unusual symptoms from the new organ which significantly affect their quality of life.
•There is always a high risk the transplanted organ will fail. Likewise, there is a high risk of death for individuals who received transplanted organs (e.g., 15-20% of recipients die within a year of a heart transplant, and after that, there is a constant 4% death rate per year, which results in only 50% being alive after 10 years).
- Many of the issues with heart transplants arise from the immune system viewing the organ as a foreign invader and attacking it. Preventing this requires taking heavy doses of immunosuppressive drugs which both create symptoms from their intrinsic toxicity and from the immune suppression that they create (which in turn requires taking even more medications for life). To share one story from medical school, I spent quite a bit of time with at the hospital with a classmate who had a kidney transplant, was repeatedly hospitalized for recurrent urinary tract infections, and when hospitalized, required somewhat dangerous intravenous antibiotics.
Note: Because of how problematic transplants can be (yet alone how difficult it is to get a donor organ), I believe anything that can be done to avoid needing a transplant should be the number one priority. Often when organs fail, the failure is preceded by a gradual decline which can potentially be halted if appropriate steps to reverse that unhealthy momentum are taken early enough in the disease process. Once a significant loss of function has occurred, the only approaches I have ever seen bring those organs back were correctly administered systemic regenerative therapies.
I hence asked my mentor if they had ever found anything which helped and their answer was immediate:
“You have to clear the trapped emotions.”
At the time, I didn’t really know what to make of this response; I trusted my mentor’s results but this really was quite the odd answer. Years later when I came across Paul Pearsall’s The Heart’s Code that response began to make a lot more sense.
Note: much of what follows is sourced from Pearsall’s book. Due to graphic nature of some of the stories within it, I chose to present summarized versions which did not explicitly restate those details. For those who are interested in the full versions, they can be found within his book.
The Heart’s Code
Personality changes are frequently observed after organ transplantations, especially with heart transplants. Since the existence of this phenomenon challenges the materialistic paradigm of where consciousness comes from, very discordant views exist towards it within the medical profession. Many adamantly deny it happens, some attribute it to other factors (e.g., the extreme stress of waiting for a transplant as your life lies in the balance while always needing to be ready to go the instant it becomes available, the experience of the transplant surgery or the psychological effects of the immunosuppressant drugs), but in face of the overwhelming evidence something we can’t explain is happening, there have been those who were compelled to study it.

I remember the story about lamb who received a heart from another lamb. At school they noticed the recipient’s art was disturbing, and eventually the police were called in.
The lamb, with no prior Knowledge was able to give the police enough evidence which led to the prosecution of the doners murderer.
So memories arent stored in the brain. Memories are likely stored in every bodily cell, and sleep is the period where these memories are updated.
Memories that are considered important, are probably stored many times in different cells.
I’m no expert, but Ruppet Sheldrake is a leader in this field and other related fields.
Modern mechanistic science doesn’t want thicko sheeple to know there’s more to life and death than trinkets and baubles.
I met a man who had had a heart transplant; it was the first thing he told me, and then on his face appeared the expression of a dead body, as if he wanted to show me the donor, or the donor wished to reveal himself
people ask why is the BLM and black gangs allowed to rob stores and super markets ?
first in the USA then now in the UK where gangs of blacks have fulfiled their promise for
summer riots.
The Black gangs claim they have discussed with UK ministers on stopping the Migrant swamping,
e g the allowing in of hordes of Euroean gangs which are now competition
with the black gangs, drugs in london alone annualy cost the economy £16 billion
Several big supermarket chains are clossing branches in the Greater london area,
such Wilco Coop and other food suppliersBefore every major war there is a great depression as the banks grab in every oenny they can to loan out at interest
The basis behind allowing this is simple.
According to Wayne Dobbs the UK government needs an excuse to shut down food supplies
Michael Gove is just one minister consulted, and several point to that arch villan Tony Blair
They promised they would starve us, and Black gangs may be the means to that end
this is why they closed over 600 police stations last year

Because the rest of this piece is behind a paywall, I decided against reading it, despite the fact that I have a huge hope vested in the possibility that consciousness survives the physical body. But I shall probably read the book.
The curious thing in this topic is that nobody has succeeded to locate the centre of consciousness in the physical body, despite the many efforts, especially of neuroscientists, to locate it. (The efforts at locating it by neuroscientists are often just plain risible.)
I have found Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of Morphic Resonance the most persuasive explication of the independence of consciousness and the physical body. But the Midwestern doctor’s tenet (if that is his tenet) that traces of consciousness remain as emotions in physical organs is indeed very interesting. And it does not gainsay Rupert Sheldrake’s theory.
Mankind knows nothing and the reason is because we’ve defaulted all consciousness to language. We literally ignore deeper sensations and perceptions and substitute wordy explanations for everything, like me writing about this right now. It’s a complex thing really, because we need language to share thoughts, yet in boxing thoughts and feelings up in this way, we lose a certain truer depth of experience that comes from our actual being. Who the hell knows what happens when you take the heart from one person and put into another. If all ancient bloodline memory is encapsulated in a person’s cells and given to a stranger, is it really INJECTING some bit of the donor’s perceptual history into the recipient ? Is it a gracious form of contamination ? Whatever is discovered, you can bet that if the Jews get their hands on it, they will use it for pure evil, but for now, within yourself, within your private world, give yourself time to go completely silent every now and then. Shut off the internal dialogue, the language descriptor, the one who NEEDS to use words to fashion reality and judge it accordingly. Go quiet. Feel the universe. Revel in your being and essence. The greatest and truest knowledge CANNOT BE DESCRIBED USING WORDS.
you only need to look the bloody eyes + cynical grin
of this satanic david Rockefeller fighting down +
ignoring the pain agonies of 6 heart plant donors .
And what king of memory/personality change may happens to those who had a cardiac transplant from… pigs ?
And what kind of memory/personality change may a patient expect from a cardiac transplant from… a pig (the most sought-after animal for human organ transplant because of bio-compatibility, by those medical sorcerer’s apprentice unhinged researchers) ?

A heads up for Carl Jones’s mention of Sheldrake’s. Sheldrake’s morphic resonance idea is perhaps a more plausible idea than those exhibiting “experience of past lives”.
It suits my own philosophy. Vis-a-vis, the whole universe is one entity; that mind and matter are inseparable; and that the ancient notions of the individual self and the universal Self (God), can be accommodated by morphic resonance.
It occurs to me that this corner of the universe we live in represents the “divine” in a sort of infancy that might eventually become more harmonious as adulthood is “achieved”; less injustice and that sort of thing. This notion accommodates the idea of “free will” that has been articulated in belief systems that have hijacked spirituality for political ends.
The writer Stanislaw Lem wrote in “The Cyberiad” how a collection of (artificial) lifeforms were created for the purpose of warfare, but as they were connected in greater numbers they evolved into philosophers and artists, and confounded their creators by refusing to indulge in warfare. The collective conscious they partook of made primitive behaviour unthinkable. Returning to the condition of earth as it is now, I think this is an apt metaphor for the infancy of humanity in so far as it represents our present condition and connection with the universal.
I might add that the reason the current artificial drive for universality — aka globalism — overseen by the banksters is incapable of achieving that goal because lies and injustice are an aberration from that harmony that will otherwise eventually be achieved. “When I was a child I thought as a child…”
All I know is my sphincter has a panic attack whenever I go near a vindaloo curry! 😂

Many thanks, Frank, have taken a note of the advice contained here.
Back in the 1980s I went to the cinema and saw a film called ‘Mr. Frost’ , featuring Jeff Goldblum as The Devil.
The line I have never forgotten from that, that has always intrigued, is when he said something like, ‘Ah yes, language – one of my greatest inventions’ –
@Sophie Johnson
The real curious thing.at least with the commentary, is how/why the indifategable Carl Jones failed to squirrel in the usual ‘Nazi’ term at all into his responses ?
‘Abstract
Personality changes following heart transplantation, which have been reported for decades, include accounts of recipients acquiring the personality characteristics of their donor. Four categories of personality changes are discussed in this article: (1) changes in preferences, (2) alterations in emotions/temperament, (3) modifications of identity, and (4) memories from the donor’s life. The acquisition of donor personality characteristics by recipients following heart transplantation is hypothesized to occur via the transfer of cellular memory, and four types of cellular memory are presented: (1) epigenetic memory, (2) DNA memory, (3) RNA memory, and (4) protein memory. Other possibilities, such as the transfer of memory via intracardiac neurological memory and energetic memory, are discussed as well. Implications for the future of heart transplantation are explored including the importance of reexamining our current definition of death, studying how the transfer of memories might affect the integration of a donated heart, determining whether memories can be transferred via the transplantation of other organs, and investigating which types of information can be transferred via heart transplantation. Further research is recommended.’

Further research is always to be recommended.
That’s what being a ‘Truthseeker’ entails
Meister Eckhart also notes how indescribable & unexplainable the almighty God is- that we stammer, stutter & reduce Him with the inadequacy of language.
Eckhart would have us so concentrated on God’s Son – without words- that each of us would be Christ in his earthly ‘suit & identity’.
Cambridge Don: because I wasn’t talking to you! Good to see you’re still paying attention.
Sophie Johnson:
“The curious thing in this topic is that nobody has succeeded to locate the centre of consciousness in the physical body”.
That’s because they don’t want to find it. It doesn’t fit with their belief that sheeple are machines.
does anyone still read carl jones ?
his natzis natzis natzid cries show great instability and psychosis
time for treatment carl
Bravo Western scientists – yet again ‘discovering’ what other parts of the world have long known. Any Hindu could have told you this.
The son of a friend had a heart transplant some years ago – The father told me that this had resulted in big change to his son’s personality to such an extent that he told me that he no-longer knew him. His son was originally a nice, gentle person – but post operation his son became aggressive and obnoxious – a completely different persona.
It’s not behind a paywall, Sophie. If you click “continue reading” the remainder of the article is free. It’s a long but very satisfying piece; considered and intelligent.
When you’re confronted by an impossible choice emotionally, you can ask your heart for direction by putting the palm of your dominant hand to your chest and asking yes/ no questions. If you give out a gasp, the answer is “no.”
I learned this valuable technique from the mage, Gregg Braden.

Thank you, I will bear this in mind and report back if something transpires.
The personality changes are more likely from the toxic drugs needed to tolerate a transplant operation
may I calculate that a positive god has given
David Rockefeller a heart problem to kill him
early for humankind seeing what evil he would
do in later live . but DR did not change his evil
ideas + looked for other donors . satan JHWH
offered him the donors to do more evil things
like he has authorised the jews to do evil in this
world . so there must be different gods somewhere .
evil once + good once . I dont look for this jinjang
powers . I only look for the ONENESS .
anti JHWH–there were a few years when, whatever I looked at, I would determine whether it was yin or yang, and at what level: it never took more than seconds to make a decision, so nothing escapes this interpretation. You write: here, the yin-yang is writer and reader
@ lewis jones
Yin is receptive and would be the reader; yang is proactive and would be the writer. However, neither have tenure, without a medium to exist through.
In your analogy, without the tertiary presence of the internet, the yin and yang cannot express.
In its classical depiction the yin-yang symbol is always encompassed by a circle. Without that circle, yin-yang isn’t geometrically bounded and would not resonate with its intended algorithmic aspecting.
If yin is air and yang is fire, both proceed from water or the “living waters” (as opposed to the inverse, the inert Void, in Chinese philosophy.)
I know that I’ve tried to convince you of it before but all matter is of trinary faceting. The ancient Chinese certainly thought so, informed as they were, of the tenets of the perennial philosophy.
