Shaman Sickness (NTS)

Thank you so much for sharing, White! I definitely think it was still on topic and it's cool to get to know a bit more about you and how you came to be where you are now. :)

Thank you Personified.

Wonderful post personified! Many would not think that a shaman goes through such atrocities in order to help them and others. Personally i believe that when on the path to our higher level of conscienciousness, we all face states similar to these.perhaps it is necessary in order to break through the mental, physical and social trappings we develope in todays society. Anywho, lovely work :D

I definitely agree with you, Light. Thank you :)

You're right Light, it is a way to break the mental, physical and social trappings. Well said. They say that heartbreak cannot be distinguished from real pain in the brain. If this is true, than perhaps shamanic sickness is the transition of our mind expressed physically within our body due to the brain's inability to process what is exactly happening.

thank you so much

I have always wondered on the term Wounded Healer .Right now i start to understand its true maning .We have been told and teached that the true healer is perfect and shiny like the sun kinda of creature .Think of a being that had never tasted death and pain and desperation .Since such ideas have been planted already in our heads we do not expect that in our path we will have to taste them and i am sure if we could escape we would (i would for sure if choice has been given to me ).Then once we have started walking the paths it comes in your mind the phase of pity in which you wonder day and night why on the earth you started with good intention to help and end up in some road of maddness in Painland .After all you supposed to be this perfect creature not a merely lost soul .Then nothing really matters , the answer is kinda slipping away from you because the ordeals are too much to bear .Eventually you shed all expectation ,all terms and conditions given to you ,all bad emotions and you understand that the only way to heal something is to be able to understand it .We understand things only through experiencing them to the full ,and living them to the full.We need to let go of the world that people have created in us, but of course we will not do that without putting good fight.Everything teaches you a lesson even pain and maddness as long as you can separate your understanding for why from what you are feeling .
The key is to learn to break the chains that got you restricted ,but you did liked them because they were well known to you and they felt familiar .However we do not like to break habits ,but you get to know your own inner demons when you try to escape from them once you realized they are there .Spirits do not let you choice to grasp for familiar things till all that is out there unknown stops to be existing for you ,and in that matter all that is in you too .In way all that has been holding you hostage is shaken away ,and it is not like we did not holded on what we thought the world is .Indeed ordeals are lied upon our path so we can get to realize we have gotten ourselves in the deadly trap to assume we know it all .When you are lost you obviouslly need to find yourself .
