Could be a synchronistic event happening right now. Perhaps I should watch it.
And I say synchronistic because metaphysical "things" highly interest me.
one story i remember is a woman had a heart transplant. the first thing came to her mind after the operation was "i sure could use a drink"
she was a non drinker of course and the doner was a drinker. i remember he died in a dui motorcycle accident
the story i always remembered because i was a drinker. and wanting a drink was like the whole body wanted a drink and when i would drink it was like the whole body got what it wanted.
whats weirder is when i was delivered from alcohol it was like the whole body was changed.
heres some other stuff
Many heart transplant recipients report experiencing changes in personality, preferences, and even memories, which some attribute to the phenomenon of "cellular memory."
What is Cellular Memory?
Cellular memory is a controversial concept suggesting that organs can retain memories or traits of their previous owners, potentially influencing the recipient's personality and preferences after transplantation. While scientific evidence is limited, numerous anecdotal accounts have emerged from heart transplant recipients who believe they have experienced such changes.
Notable Stories of Heart Transplant Recipients
Claire Sylvia: One of the most famous cases, Claire received a heart-lung transplant in 1988. Post-surgery, she developed cravings for foods like beer and chicken nuggets, which she later discovered were favorites of her young male donor, Timothy Lamirande, who had died in a motorcycle accident. Claire also reported changes in her personality, feeling more assertive and adventurous after the transplant.

Anne Marie Switzer: After her heart transplant, Anne Marie noticed a significant change in her emotional responses. She described a loss of the "squishy feeling" of love she used to feel for her family, stating that her emotions became more logical and less warm. This change left her feeling a profound sense of loss, as she identified strongly with being a "heart person".

Kristy Sidlar: Following her transplant, Kristy had an intuitive sense of her donor's background, feeling as if she had the heart of a woman in her mid-30s who had faced a tough life. This instinct was later confirmed when she learned about her donor's age and circumstances, raising questions about how such insights could be possible.

General Observations: Many recipients report changes in tastes, hobbies, and even fears that align with their donors' preferences. For instance, some have developed aversions or cravings for specific foods or music genres that they had no prior interest in, suggesting a deeper connection to their donor's identity.

Scientific Perspectives
While the idea of cellular memory remains largely anecdotal, it has sparked interest in the scientific community. Researchers are exploring various mechanisms that could explain these phenomena, including epigenetic changes, molecular encoding, and the heart's potential role in emotional processing. Some studies suggest that the heart may have its own neural network, which could contribute to these experiences.

In conclusion, the stories of heart transplant recipients who report changes in personality and preferences raise intriguing questions about the nature of memory and identity. While more research is needed to understand these experiences fully, they highlight the profound impact that organ donation can have on both the recipient and the legacy of the donor.
and i will add this before i forget it again. i have seen stuff about people getting a bump/concussion? on the head and it actually rewires their brain? like a construction guy will become a concert pianist? crazy stuff like that
