An engram is a moment of pain and unconsciousness.

A secondary is a moment of loss.

This implies that sorrow is so hard to cry out and confront
because of a physical engram underlying it.

This implies that sorrow over loss has no serious ontological
status of its own without the prior impact.

Either this is complete bullshit, or it is an astounding
statement beyond measure.
