What are the problems and potential downside for long-term health and well-being of having an organ transplant, and to what extent can this affect subsequent lifetimes?

The problems with organ transplantation are similar to those with blood transfusion, which is essentially a cellular transplant suspended in a fluid and free-floating rather than a solid organ transplant consisting of cells in a matrix.  In this case, the metaphysical considerations are more serious because the solid organs contain large numbers of cells, all of which contain DNA and are therefore more of an insult to the body in terms of mixing soul and karmic histories via the links to the akashic records. There can be real confusion and perturbation of the body in multiple ways, potentially, as well as more profound expression of unnatural soul characteristics for that recipient to have naturally. The consciousness of those tissues will be communicating with the akashic record and will bring forth many characteristics and memories as well of things that have happened to the donor, and these may well impinge on the consciousness of the recipient, if only in the deep subconscious level of the mind. But there will be an expression of things, potentially. This may include changes in their personal habits, in their personal preferences, in the characteristics of their personality, and so on. It will depend on many variables. In effect, the major source of liability is when there is a confusion within the body of the transplant recipient as to whose DNA should be listened to for instructions and to express the needs of the soul. This is demonstrated vividly by transplant patients who suddenly begin to act differently, and those differences are found to be characteristics of their organ donor. This is a demonstration of the potential for altering the recipient in unexpected ways from the transfer within their energy of foreign tissue—their soul characteristics coming forth via the akashic records and contained within the cellular memory as well of the donor tissue. As with everything that happens in life, those changes within the recipient that alter their behavior and their conduct, their choices in life, and so on, will indeed influence their future and will change the karmic energies that carry forward as well, so that even subsequent lifetimes will change to some degree depending on the impact of the clash or variation in soul characteristics that impinge on the recipient and all that happens as a result. Again, this is a matter of individual cases. The effects may not be large in most cases, but can be, so there is a potential liability for taking on an unnatural way of living. This is why we would not be in favor of prolonging life through this means. In addition, there are surgical alterations of the body as well that will have adverse consequences to the recipient. It is unnatural to be cutting up the body and splicing things and rearranging organs and tissues. This always disrupts energy circuits and will have consequences also. If for a good purpose, the trade-offs may well be viewed as worthwhile. We would rather see healing applied to prevent the need for transplantation.
