During my training in psychiatry I was taught the symptoms and possible causes of what many refer to as Major Depression. What was left out however is what Depression represents on a spiritual level. This, I have learned is much more significant than the treatment of the symptoms themselves. The latter approach unfortunately misses what I consider to be a crucial spiritual crisis in the life of anyone experiencing this problem. So what is Depression from a spiritual standpoint? Well when you look at the experience itself you see a state characterized by: tiredness or loss of energy, hopelessness, lack of motivation, loss of joy, self loathing, feelings of low self worth, guilt, a tendency to give up on life and along with those suicidal thoughts. In my view this represents a Being who, for whatever reason is being "forced" to leave their physical body i.e. to die against their own wishes. What is causing this to happen? Well some might think that leaving the body is a normal process, albeit aberrant in this condition. My view is that anything that causes one to leave the body is aberrant. The case of Depression is actually no different that any other illness that forces the Divine Being whose body it is out. In all cases the "force" is the result of an accumulation of negative energy imprints in the form of traumatic memories (from present and past lives) that have become embedded in the energy field of the individual and which then cascade down into the mind/body resulting in an inhospitable environment for that Being. Such imprints are parasitic to one's vital life energy. Hence the severe energy drain seen in Depression. What is more significant however is the tendency for the Being to identify themselves with the negative imprints. For instance they may "think" that these negative memories are their fault, that they are therefore bad, unworthy, inadequate, cruel, and defective and so on. Such identification essentially dishonors their true nature as the Divine Being that they are. In other words to say to one's self that one "is" the negativity is an out right lie! So what is happening here is that these Beings have been "seduced" into lying to themselves about who they truly are. I say "seduced" because no one would ever desire to lie to themselves if they were conscious of what was happening. From this perspective releasing the individual from their depressed state becomes a matter of exposing the lies to the Being who is entertaining them. This can be done with a new modality called the Mind Resonance Process(TM) (MRP) that I have written extensively about there in this ezine. I must say however that it takes courage from the individual who is choosing this state to be honest with themselves about their choices. There is often a fear of taking full responsibility for owning their destiny and thus many shrink back into the seeming comfort of "giving up". Of course "giving up" is anything but comforting. You just have to feel what it feels like to be depressed and that will become obvious. To learn more about MRP kindly visit the web link below. |
