Death of Body and Organ Transplants

Recommended Posts

Q.

 

I noticed in some traditions it is forbidden to touch a dead body

 

many different rules... I think Tibetan monks say 3 days?

 

I know of Native American (not well researched) that refuse organ transplant + won't give their own organs

 

I agree with this

 

as a result of cellular memory + cases of people getting organ transplants and their personality changing...

 

I feel that this may bind a spirit to the earth?

 

... somewhat spurred by the meat eating thread going at present... and Shenlung's proposition // of the Priest Botantist and Officer

If you were dead, and someone fucked your body.. what would that be like for you. what would it be like for them?

 

I'm responding to the question inherent here as I see it, in your OP....

 

 

where do we reside?

 

 

apologies if I am not on point.. I havent been following the other discussion to which you refer.. perhaps I should go and catch up on it. :huh:

Thinking more in relation to the Tibetan Book of the Dead

 

the transition from... this life to the next etc

Things such as... do not cry for the departed... as it confuses them in the bardo state?

 

If you found your organs to be in 7-8 other people on earth walking around... are you really dead? (in body - will the spirit have some attachment to these organs)

 

I think of the movie Casper... and the ghosts with unfinished business.

yes that is the question

 

In terms of cellular memory it would appear... that this can change consciousness

 

particularly with organs such as the heart...

 

they have also found the heart to have neurons too

 

... having seen documentaries of people who have heart transplants... + personality changes

 

there would be residual consciousness of the departed within the cells

 

in terms of the absolute self...

 

in terms of relative self ?

 

Other traditions say not to even speak of the name of the departed?

 

So (From memory..or guess I don't know.) as not to bring them back to the earth plane

 

perhaps all unfounded
