Think about what I said. It is all in your head.
If you had a lobotomy you would then have no chronic pain.

I'm sure eits will have something to say about this.

Well, technically every sensation we experience is all experienced in our head... So, yeah, the pain really would all be in your head. That doesn't make it less "real". Nor does that mean that through hindu training you can control it. Just that the brain is responsible for interpreting signals from the body to indicate pain.

Where do you think it comes from? Severed nerve endings cause the main nerve to say "Hey, this hurts!"

Chronic pleasure is all in my head too... no the other one :awe:

Well, duh.

Cut out the important sections in your head and essentially zombifi yourself, sure... you'll feel things like never before... like nothing! Yay! No feelings, yay!

Sign me up. Just, keep the thinking parts in tact, I'd like to remember who I am while craving flesh.

Exactly. Without your brain you aren't going to experience feelings of anything. What was the purpose of this seminar? Techniques on controlling chronic pain?

Bruce Lee actually studied that a lot. He truly was able to subjugate pain.

Well, at first, I figured ppl wouldn't make the correlation as evidenced by the first response post. Saying something is in head doesn't mean it isn't real is the point in this case.

Yes that was part of it.
