Ha ha! Where did you get that from? I'm reminded of the stories of indigenous shamanic initiatory illnesses from around the world -- grueling, weird, physical and psychological symptoms, last a long time........And they do come to an end. Finally. And the person returns to normal functioning *plus* they have new, enhanced abilities.

"An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."
