That Unbelievable Pain is Real
On the surface, spilling a hot cup of coffee on yourself and the feelings of rejection you feel when you look at the picture of a person that recently left you may seem to elicit very different types of pain.
However, MRI researchers at University of Michigan found that intense personal rejection activates the same regions of the brain that are involved in the physical pain sensation of being burned.
These findings are consistent with the idea that the experience of social rejection represents a distinct emotional experience that is uniquely associated with physical pain.

—Richard Tarnas, author of Passion of the Western Mind and Cosmos & Psyche
“I was deeply moved by the force and effort of these personal revelations that show that in spite of the alarming and painful character of the visions, they may represent something more than the bad effects of childhood, past lives, or defective genes...they indicate the emergence of a dark, descending spirituality, like the lower worlds of the shaman, which is absolutely necessary to balance the recent emphasis on ‘light.’.”
—Don Sandner, author of The Sacred Heritage:The Influence of Shamanism on Analytical Psychology
