Hi Cara! That is a terrific question. I think that Silverflow said it perfectly! Every atom has it's own conciousness, and carries with it the memory of all that it experiences being. Very cool indeed! For example, I once had a friend who was a son of the tribal chief, and he had the skin of a bear that they used in ceremony. Another tribal member was the one who hunted this bear, and I got from him the location of where it happened. That spring, we took her skin back to her home, and made a small ceremonial fire for her. It was a little difficult because it was snowing lightly, and it was hard to find any dry tinder, but I managed to get it going with a few dry oak leaves. Anyway, the reason for doing this was because I felt strongly that even though the spirit of the bear had moved on, every cell that made up the skin of that bear remembered living in the forest wild and free. It just felt right.
As for your question Jeffrey, yes, I am a donor. There are many who do believe that a new organ will give them new life. As long as they believe it, it will be true for them. There are also many people who don't understand the concepts that we do, and don't realize that they are creating what they experience. Are they to be penalized for not understanding things the way we do? When I am finished with my physical vehicle, I hope that it can benefit someone else, even if they have different beliefs. Not only that, but I am considering donating my body to science, which is difficult for me, as I'm a pretty modest person. Like my mother, I don't want any kind of services or memorials, and don't want to leave anyone to have to deal with remains. When my mom was in the hospital, her doctor came to with tears in his eyes, because he was so thankful to her. Yes, once I've moved on, I will be glad if anyone can use what remains behind.
Love, Cyn
