Perhaps we have out of body experiences while sleeping and do a kind of test run on the day ahead, which we don't remember upon waking.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoy the phenomenon, and I also dream often of things which occur later. Edgar Cayce said that time is a river and there is no absolute sequence of events; we just arrange them in a linear fashion so we can process and try to understand them.<BR/><BR/>I've read the book you mention. It would take a heart transplant for me to like beer.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-72333795067593618242009-03-31T02:03:00.000-07:002009-03-31T02:03:00.000-07:00The conclusion that my friends and I arrived at is...The conclusion that my friends and I arrived at is that bits of memories from our predecessors are stored in our DNA. Well, I know this sounds as silly as the other explanations, but could cellular memory actually be possible?<BR/><BR/>There is anectodal evidence that people who receive transplanted organs from transplant donors display a strange change in tastes, opinions, cravings, and other mild personality changes. This gives rise to the theory that the donated organ had some part of the donor's memory left within it. A woman named Claire Sylvia, who was a transplant recipient, wrote a book called "A Change of Heart". She had received a donated heart from an 18 year-old boy who had been in a motorcycle accident. Claire suddenly developed a craving for beer, chicken nuggets, and green peppers, all food she didn't enjoy prior to her heart transplant.<BR/><BR/>The mind and body are all one; they don't exist separate and apart from each other. I believe it is possible that memories are stored in the tissue in other parts of our bodies as well, not just in our brains. It's an interesting thought. If so, it could also be possible that memories are stored in our DNA. Will one of our descendants, years from now, have a déjà vu of something we experienced perhaps this very afternoon? They may be walking along a street you walked along today, and suddenly experience that familiar feeling, "I have done this before..." <BR/><BR/>There are many theories of de ja vu and they each contain an element of truth.The explanation of the rishis of the East that there is soul travel and reincarnation and that of Isaac Luria concerning the reasons for soul attachment from other worlds (IBBUR HA GILGULIM) are compelling. We each have a piece of the cosmic truth and as we evolve we will learn more.Of this I am convinced.Edward Yablonskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10013345997672210570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-67702015783228285122009-03-30T20:18:00.000-07:002009-03-30T20:18:00.000-07:00♦ LoverOfLife, of course!

I had never been to his place before, but it was familiar. My dad had played there as a child.<BR/><BR/>♦ LGS, yes, I have read that we can actually alter the DNA in our genes, and pass that alteration to our offspring.<BR/><BR/>♦ Firefly, I think deja vu is a very common occurence to everyone.

That’s cool...Oh, I like the heart transplant story. That’s cool. And I could totally see how some “sense” memory could be stored in our DNA. However, a lot of déjà vu experiences are so mundane – a conversation about toilet roll and you know what the other person is going to say next?? THIS is what our DNA remembers? For one thing the experiences are often too anachronistic to have been stored from an ancestor. Perhaps things like an odd fondness for the food or culture of another country; or being drawn to a certain person; or love of a type of music – these could be explained by DNA memory. My favourite explanation for the mundane déjà vu experiences though is that at that time there’s a short circuit in your brain and it processes information much quicker than usual, so that you are hearing things at the exact instant the other person is saying them instead of experiencing the usual delay. This makes you think you are hearing them before they actually say them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-52899693534843871492009-03-30T12:56:00.000-07:002009-03-30T12:56:00.000-07:00And of course there is always a "Parallel Universe...And of course there is always a "Parallel Universe"Mclndesmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10819930778278618034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-81912419972419551072009-03-30T12:55:00.000-07:002009-03-30T12:55:00.000-07:00I agree that we have memories stored in other part...I agree that we have memories stored in other parts of our body besides the brain.

I have never had a transplant of any kind, but the thought of reliving a moment a past family member might have had is intriguing. <BR/><BR/>Usually my experience with Deja Vu is something I personally did, but had forgotten about. I might have done the exact same thing years eariler.
