CHANGES IN HEART TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS
DR PAUL PEARSALL's THE HEART'S CODE
New findings about cellular memories and their role in the mind/heart/spirit connection by Dr Paul Pearsall - this book challenges one's mindset about life and what it entails. It seems as if his thesis is that the heart is a more powerful organ than the brain. I suggest that you get your own copy to read. The ISBN Number is: 0-7679-0095-2; the soft cover book was published during 1999.
Just to wet your appetite please download this study by Paul Pearsall, Gary E.R. Schwartz and Linda G.S. Russer. It is only about 8 pages but loaded with mind boggling information by both recipients, their family and friends as well as some families of the donors. The authors are careful in their presentation to make categorical statements; they conclude by saying that it is advisable to conduct further research and study into it. Cellular memories? Well - it might be cutting edge thinking.
Of course there is the contra viewpoint as well - read it here. It is obvious that this author does the normal thing: he does not deal with the evidence produced by Pearsall and his colleagues. He just makes allegations to cast dispersion on them.
I am re-reading this book. I assure you that the book is not easy reading; it challenges my normal way of thinking about what and who I am and what goes on inside my body. If science cannot proof it either right or wrong, it does not mean that it does not exist. It only means that it is not proven by science either way. The same way that science cannot proof nor disproof that God exists. It calls for a new way of thinking. Joanna Lumley recently said when she was interviewed by Monty Don at the Chelsea Flower Show 2017 that this extravaganza of plants forces you to believe in a Deity.
Maybe, maybe one day in the future it might be just that ...

What makes a good life? Lessons from the longest study on happiness
Robert Waldinger - the chief of the research team
It is a remarkable study over a continuous period of 75 years - the longest in history. And the insights they gained can change your life - if you are prepared to take the risk. It is a risk to cultivate personal relationships. He says in so many words that personal relationships are "... messy ..." Don't I know this from very personal experience; it is an ongoing saga in my family.
Click on this link. He regrets that there are too many ugly messy family feuds in our lives! And do I regret that as well.
I urge you to listen to this gentle man - because Robert is so gentle. A gentle giant.

HOW TO TRAVEL IN RURAL ZIMBABWE: PLUMTREE
One way of travelling in the 21st Century!
I visited Plumtree in Zimbabwe the other day and traveled into the deep rural areas. Please watch the videoclips of the different modes of transport I found during my very brief visit there.
I often heard people shouting at the top of their voices: "Mlungu!!" My companion explained that those people have never seen a white man. In the village of Plumtree a Zimbabwean approached me and asked if he may take a photograph of us together. His reason? He wanted to show his mother!
And yet I saw small kids walking about with a cell phone.
My goal was to visit Gwamagwama in deep rural Zimbabwe and I also created a short video clip about that trip. Here's the link to that one.
Please write me a letter at neelscoertse@wirelessza.co.za and tell me what you think.

START WALKING - GENTLY AND DON'T OVERDO IT!
Start walking - gently don't over do it!
I read this very interesting article and it appeals to me -
A leisurely walk can boost mood, psychological well-being - click this link.
Too much strenuous exercise it not good for your psychological well-being. I am fascinated when the health fanatics who participate in for instance ultra-marathons tell you about how many time they get ill. Is it not perhaps related to their training schedules? I am asking.

HOW TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS IN LIFE - ACCORDING TO ERIC KIM
SOAR LIKE A BIRD
This is an interesting viewpoint by Eric Kim - more or less like Nike's JUST DO IT.
I took this image in Rome last year [2016]. This seagull latched onto our small group when we came out in the open on top of the Cupola of St Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. He followed us for nearly 10 minutes or so - coming and going. He was fascinated by us and we were blessed by this experience.
Enjoy Eric's write-up.

BROUGHT UP BY BOOZE - GEORGE BEST'S SAD LEGACY
This is the very sad story of soccer legend George Best. Watch the YouTube video here. It is his son Calum Best's story - and ironically it is not the best of Best. It is really very sad. I don't even know if I want to put up any graphics. Maybe this one?
