1. Why is paying of bride price such an important issue among us?
2. Why is burrying a dead person such an expensive task?
Then another question is, if we do away with these practices, will we lost anything?

It's known as a " Mental Groove". It births culture and tradition.

Only the light and sound of God can break this psychological loop and allow the sufferer to move on.

Before this happens, the person must learn the lesson involved in the fixation.

----------------------------------------------------------------

My sister when she was 3 years old picked up a heavy stone we used to keep the door open. After holding it for a long while with both hands, her brain didn't have the right information to drop it.

Tired, she began to cry. I and my little cousin on the other hand decided to enjoy the show. How can you be the one to pick the stone and not know what to do when you're done? We allowed her to suffer it. We were nasty little boys.

After noticing our parents will notice the event and we will be in trouble for this, we commanded "Just drop it", but she couldn't do this to our amazement and kept holding on to it.

We collected the stone from her anyways but not without prolonging her suffering.

Her suffering sprang from her brain as I stated earlier not developing the mental code or command for 'drop' after learning 'pick'.

These commands and codes are actually how we run the body and our lives. We have the codes that seem to run automatic. That's what's referred to as "Mental Groove".

This plays out as addictions, fears, cultures, etc.
