last week which presented evidence of heart-transplant recipients who have
acquired the memories and personality characteristics of their donor. I
didn’t see the documentary, alas, but I’m sure it’s true.
I believe that memory and personality are not local to the brain.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Another resource is the book "Blink," by Malcom Gladwell, which is
filled with many examples of "body knows before brain," reports of
lots of research confirming that concept, and some interesting examples of
training to help people use this facility more deliberately in particular
circumstances.<br>
<br>
Reading it, I felt affirmed in my belief that there are definitely parts of me
that process information more quickly than my cognitive brain.<br>
<br>
One exercise that I have experienced is to pair people with a partner.
Each in turn either holds an object belonging to their partner, or simply
focuses their attention on the partner. After a period of silent
attention, they report to the partner any images that arose in their
consciousness. It is uncanny what comes up!<br>
