The very act of reinventing, revisioning, creating, innovating, and awakening to a new soul-self may be the most effective and most direct escape route out of the hell of suffering. Such transformations of the deepest soul-self may not cure a disease, although we should be prepared to be surprised once in a while, but they can definitely heal our lives, transform the experience of severe pain, and eliminate a great deal of suffering.
