Are you saying Brand is willing letting this happen or is it out of his control but he's aware of it and he's trying now to stop it?

There's no need to suffer, suffering is not a fundamental aspect of the human experience despite what some religions would tell you. Once you reached a state of true enlightenment you will feel a constant sense of warmth and bliss, which varies in intensity but it always there and constantly makes you at ease and just plain happy. Reaching this state is difficult to explain with words, really its about overcoming your fear of death and embracing life, this quote from Dune sort of sums it up for me "I must not fear, fear is the mind killer. Once fear is gone I will be all that remains". The negative feelings inside you are not you they've been implanted there by the culture you live in and whatever negative life experiences you've had, rejecting these feeling, recognising they are not you is how to reach inner peace. True healing is realising your were never sick in the first place
