assassin, Transfusions, muyrder's hand and reincarnation _ Krishtar

Friend Dal

Hi everybody.
Glad to hear from you again and glad that you overcame the illness.
This e-list is not the same without your messages...
I cannot comment this email entirely now but I wanted to say that i once watched a trash movie in which the hand of an assassin being transplanted into an innocent man and then caused him acting so strange... and I cannot remember if he became or not a murderer...
I also know that some people need a psychiatrist after a liver or heart transplant.
Is it psychological influence ( living with an alien part in your body ) oroccult laws in action?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I once had an argument with one of those Jeovah´s Witnesses sect ( Watchtower International I gess) about their non- permission of blood-transfusiondue to certain interpretations on the H. Bible.
At that time I found that POV so unhuman and selfish that it made me mad.
Dallas, doesn´t the karma attached to a body that has no life anymore finish when the physical ego is released to the other spheres and won´t the earth decompose the organs anyway too?
And once the organs are left they are transformed in organic matter, non-organized again.
So the karma from the body parts are also transferred to the worms and bacterias, since everything is alive.
Won´t the useful organs be more useful to someone who has the necessity of transplant than to the decompositors?
Just views...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Re: Blood Transfusions, Organ donations, etc.
Transfusions and reincarnation

Dear Perry:

The application of technical medical processes is one thing. The motive
behind the application is another.

The processes of asepsis in hospitals and clinics are well known but not
always applied meticulously.  

But who knows the effect of the moral contagions inherent in another's body
as a result of their life and karma? If and when this (a portion of
another's Karma) is injected or introduced into another living body, a
portion of the Karma comes along with the physical blood or organ There are
enough cases on record of the subsequent feelings and problems that have
been found to be consequent on the use of these processes. 

THEOSOPHY deals with laws and explanations and observations impartially.  

It shows the astral structures and the "pranic-life currents" underlie the
physical organs, blood and other structures. It says they impart their own
imprint in terms of life-memories and strengths (or weaknesses) wherever
they go. The physical blood or organ conveys them. They are also conveyed
by massage, and acupressure for instance, and above all by the inner and
powerful WILL of the doctor, nurse massager or practitioner. 

The blood or organs of another person, no matter how closely related, are
different from ours.  

THEOSOPHY does not recommend such exchanges. I know this seems to violate
current rules and attitudes. Next question is WHY ?

How we make application is another thing altogether, as the moral aspect is
involved and Karma is formed there, based on motive always.

Lets ask another question. If THEOSOPHY is right in this, what effect has
such an exchange on the karma of the two Egos involved -- for their future
in their present life, and in a future life upon reincarnation ? Is this
intimate relationship continued and desirable? What will be the karma of
those who facilitate or participate in these processes? Is that not to be
thought of? 

I know this all sound vague and fuzzy, but that is because the matter is yet
to be seized and made a part of investigation. Who believes in
reincarnation anyway? The Chinese systems of the meridians in the body,
whereon is built their system of acupuncture and acupressure; the Indian
Ayurvedic lore is well aware of bodily meridians and interlinks, and
practice here in the West of several kinds including Chiropractic is also
built on this knowledge. Who has made a systematic investigation of these
systems and ancient knowledge? 

No one "likes" fire to burn, or water to "drown." However, if misused they
do that impartially and without malice.

None of us are yet able to determine the future of another, in this or a
future body.. If however we can use and apply the best techniques to save
life we do that with the motive of assistance.

As for myself, (not a child) I have given strict instructions that no blood
transfusions are to be made in case I need them medically, nor are any
"heroic measures" to keep the body "alive" are to be used in case of comaor
other determination of the passing away of consciousness. I do this in
advance of any situation where I might be unable to assure medical or legal
authorities that it is my desire to let my body die if it cannot heal and
revive itself . But I am an adult, and, taking full responsibility, I can
decide for myself what I will accept or not as treatment for my body.

It is quite ridiculous to fear death. We don't fear sleeping, do we? And
who is to say that our consciousness will return on awakening to the same
body? In case of continued wakefulness under forced sleep deprivation it
has been demonstrated that eventually these cause sleep or death. 

But to decide for a child -- that is a matter for parents to consider as
they have that duty, under Karma. I know this is an "open door." But again
THEOSOPHY does not dogmatize for specific cases It says in effect: Use
your common sense. Discover the Principles that are operative in all cases,
and apply them.  

In these days, to maintain a sure and fearless belief in reincarnation is
rare. But then, who has yet seen or discussed the matter with the REAL INNER
SPIRIT of any man or woman so far ? [ Or even in meditation with one's own
Inner SELF ? Only THEOSOPHY speaks of this, and indicates ways in which it
may be done.] 

No, our sole knowledge is that the INNER SPIRIT, our Real Self, requires
specifically a continuity in a single body; and its condition, before or
after the death of that present body, is quite unknown and unprovable so
far. Current beliefs state that the body and the indwelling SPIRIT are the
same thing. But are they? 

No, THEOSOPHY does not dogmatize, but it does offer the rules and facts of
life, as it know it too be.

Hi Dallas,

I hope your well ,

As with all things we as individuals need to try and use wise
discernment and certainly when it comes to ourselves our choices are
our own based on our knowledge and understanding of occult principles.

But when it comes to children who lives could have been saved by a
blood transfusion, I simply find it outrageous that these children
have been allowed to die over a discission made by the parents because
of the blind following of dogma.

I hope no theosophical student would ever follow any theosophical
statement blindly no matter who wrote it.

Theosophical study is one as you know that takes lifetimes of work and
is not meant to be followed blindly but rather Self realised.
The information may or may not be correct we can never presume that it
is correct especially if a persons life other than our own hangs in
the balance.
What we choose for ourselves is another matter.

Sorry to hear you've been in hospital hope alls ok!

Regards

Perry
