That ritualized suffering is in one sense voluntary, but given cultural expectations, it really is forced upon them. The saving grace of that experience is the entitlement it gives them in the community afterward. I'm thinking that maybe the "reconnect with the light" for the persons whose stories you have recently been listening to could come from being subsequently entitled to speak to and with the community, as apparently they are. I know that isn't the whole answer, and it leaves out many who can't (yet) speak. But maybe it is a start.
