Shaman: "None, why would I lose anyone?"
Two questions arise here that, unsurprisingly, were never asked:
How can a man with no thinking part of his brain left not only survive but become a genius in the aftermath as well as other men, becoming better adjusted, better fathers, better husbands, better contributors to the community?
The other obvious question is:
How can complications otherwise incurred, not exist at all...especially removed from surgical techniques whose science is based on dealing with complications?
I have my own theories on that but let's stick to the issues at hand.
These questions are not asked. Why?
You know why…
Those that might ask them know they're not ready for the answers. They're already shaken by a few honest replies from the shaman.
Their minds are turned off out of an acquired incredulity they are taught is desirable. Just like to have a divided mind, one with a conscious mind constantly at war with its subconscious.
The fear that we will be caught dissembling is why we labor so hard and spend so many hours of each day suppressing the subconscious into not giving us away. And it will.
Ever hear of Reverse Speech?
Our shaman does not teach his patients fear. Building in them a power of expectation, tens of thousands of years old (perhaps hundreds of thousands), they don't build any negative model of their outcome. So they don't have any.
The shaman goes the other way.
And, when the mind can, due to the severity involved, dislodge acquired "junk"… Just like a computer that has a file registry restored, it might rebuild better, perhaps, even astoundingly so.
As did our UN officer.
Do you think the brain surgeons learned anything?
If so, it was probably nothing more than they permitted.
In time, back at their O.R.s, it will become passed off as "undocumented," "unproven," "exaggerated," "misidentified," like another UFO whose clearly anomalous operation once noted will come to fade into oblivion when debunked as "perceptive delusion," something perhaps for which Homeland Security will one day have a treatment.
