JMG, I don't recall what, if anything, you may have said about the occult or metaphysical aspects of organ transplants. Recent developments have brought in a new aspect--the first successful transplant of a pig heart into a human being. I know there have been transplants of heart valves and perhaps bone or cartilage from pigs and maybe other animals, but this is the first actual living organ to be removed from a pig and placed in a human. I don't imagine traditional lore has anything to say, but I wonder what your evaluation of this may be.
A second, more personal question. When I sit down to meditate I find I have to consciously correct a tendency for my head to cock slightly up and to the left, as though I am looking toward the corner of the room. I have considered that there may be a physical cause, muscle tension or something of the sort, but I also wondered if my subconscious is trying to tell me something.
