Of course, it's a trick to put words together incoherently (plus then add "matching" music). We do this trick all the time. However, we don't realise that it's a trick, this constructivist way of thinking together.
We're constantly putting things together that don't belong together. No emoji from my partner = she doesn't love me anymore. That person smiling at me = he wants something from me. No photo of my grandchild = their parents don't appreciate me. Special experience while meditating = I'm great. And so on.
That's how our normal mind ticks.

Painless, is that possible? The question is how long the pain lasts and what significance I attach to it. Going through pain can be a path. When Mingyur Rinpoche got massive food poisoning while trying to escape from the Rinpoche life, he was ready to die - and was miraculously saved by a man.
Dramatic, well. I can make a drama out of any situation. Does that help me?
Relax. Yes, that's the point. Not taking myself and my perception and my brain stuff so terribly seriously.
