    Yes, it's true. But, think of it this way -- our suffering sends a signal to the brain to start repairs. The system is designed to heal itself. It is designed to learn from experience.

    Meds free since June 2005.

    "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."
