Depression Compression

Overcome depression using your mind

The language of 'overcoming using the mind' can be unhelpful because the mind's 'overcoming' of the feeling being that is actually a kind of self-denial masquerading as a presentation of control - is a fundamental root of the sense of being denied, cut-off, enraged but squelched, conflicted but stuck. The mind that can help is not the mind of denial that 'feels validated in presenting control' but the opening of the mind to a perspective of true consciousness that is of a wholeness of being rather than a divisive attempt to get or get away from something.



Self-honesty is key. If one doesn't align in self-honesty one is choosing to lock away parts of the self from conscious awareness and responsibility - which can be feared as blame or embraced as freedom of choice.

There are many perspectives - as many as people as ways to uniquely experience - and what works for you is what serves your active purpose. Killing oneself on any level is an act of assumed or desired power and thoughts of power arise from a split mind of victimiser and victim. The mind can deceive and be deceived. It is not the voice of a wholeness or relational discernment of being. Allegiance to a false sense of self can ONLY be depressing whatever distortions are inflated and asserted to offset with promise of power or self-specialness.

The role of our definitions is generally overlooked or trivialized - as if they are added on afterwards as 'justifiction'. But how we define ourself over and against anything is THE act by which that experience is generated. However, the experience becomes the conditioning 'reality' as if one is victim or subject to it - as part of the outcome of believing in our own judegments.
Believing/experiencing our own judgement is the way of experiencing Life in terms of rejection.

Opening to hateful or 'negative' feelings in a way that doesn't merely self-harm or attack others (passively or aggressively) - is necessary territory to any true healing into presence or wholeness of being. One cannot transform or transmute what one is unwilling to own because of attempting to deny, disown or eradicate it.

The separating from the identity-in-separation involves all the same crap as any addiction-release. However the crap cannot be released truly by using Spirit or spirit/mind polarity to split off from it. True spiritually transcends by active embrace. How does one embrace self-hatred? Perhaps by acknowledging and owning the feeling and then finding an essentially safe way to open some relationship with the movement of that feeling rather than lock up in thinking about - or trying not to think about - the triggered circumstance or recalled and anticipated conditions that equate to something that might wordlessly SHOUT 'I hate myself and want to die!' - with great intensity. Amidst such may be felt "I WANT IT THUS!" as the movement of one's core identity. Feeling what we feel in a vibratory energetic movement (and perhaps embodying it in ways that give it acceptance for being but limit access to harming self or other) IS the transformation because who you are IS the capacity to discern or recognize the true of you - often as a result of encountering what is NOT speaking for or representative of who you (presencely) feel and know yourself to be.

Normalising depression does not make it our true nature. If Life is being denied its freedom of being - then one's own participation at all levels of our consciousness cannot be escaped by demanding Parents to make everything align with asserted demands that inherently override or refuse relational honesty.
On the other hand a relational honesty extending is the call for true response. So there is no honesty in dumping 'problems' on those who are the messengers of a deeper shared breakdown of communication - and thus of the Call to correct it in a truly shared sense of worth.
If we reject and devalue our own experience - we will certainly and automatically reject and devalue others.
If the canary stops singing - then there is a call to attend to what the conditions are that disallow the songbird's breath. This communication has to find willingness for what is beneath the surface political assertions of wilfulness and open the feelings that are thus denied in ways that recognize common ground.
Being grounded feels like limitation to reckless 'freedom' but is Sanity to the integrative joy of being in which flying free can be found without riding roughshod over others.

Depression as a healing movement

Robin Williams found dead in apparent suicide after 'battling depression'

(I wrote this into a reply to a comment on the page article- shown at the bottom of this post).

Your Spirit is naturally and innately free. What depresses is a dis-spiriting self-definition. Much that we do in thought is hidden or made unconscious. Forgive that which knows not what it does in order to come fully into the realm of true choice. In other words abide in an active willingness to be shown what it is one is already engaged in that sets up or reinforces self-negative conclusions.

Periods of depression can therefore be seen as a process of releasing the outer in order to uncover a fresh inner movement of being.

Healing can be resisted as if it is disease when we identify exclusively with the negative self definitions of the personality structure. But fighting one's self is simply an absurdity given gravitas.

To be aligned with your true desire is to be single in purpose and whole in desire. Imposed wishing cannot substitute for your true desire - nor can it ever deliver a true happiness. An insane society reflects the frequency of our focus. It is up to us what we choose to give focus to... not the media... not advertisers... not those who are conditioned by corporate agendas.

For sure there are all sorts of ways to help ourselves and each other in a true alignment and that is what is actually going on the instant we attune to that frequency. A mind deeply conditioned to its subjection cannot suddenly accept its power, and so there are stepping stones that enable a shift from a fearfully asserted grip on what seems to be alone and threatened to a capacity to flow with and feel one's way as part of the whole.

Thoughts cannot trap the mind that thinks them... unless somewhere we are wanting that experience to be true. The territory one opens to in the willingness to awaken is indeed at times very hard to abide through - but understand that the structures by which one covered over, hid or ran away from one's self-as-believed-negative power were called upon to hide or mitigate these feelings. Coming out of anaesthesia in order to choose from a different foundation, is itself guided and supported BY that foundation.

As we live and grow from whole thinking, the susceptibility to old triggers fades.

Honesty is open minded. If we honestly get in touch with our feelings, why then force them into the thoughts that brought those feelings into experience? Owning the feeling fully releases the need to fight it. Humour can be employed as a manically driven attempt to overcome darkness within. It isn't then free to be loose and happy in the belly. To look at something that seems in its moment to be seriously threatening or seriously something it is not - and then to suddenly see what it is from awakened perspective is to laugh at what is not in the flow of what is.

And yes many tend to idolize externals as if to use them for proxy symbol of power in a fantasy life. This reinforces the belief we are powerless in the herd of personae seeking to make the mask real. The persona operates as a communication device for Life to communicate through. Worshipping one's self in such a limited reflection takes one's eye off the Ball. It is what lives and gives through us that re-minds us of what we truly are. Trying to be what we are not is much ado about nothing. We all come Home to recognizing we never truly left. (Backstage sounds of laughter and warm conversation).

In reply to

jodid I think there are a couple reasons for depression. One - we live in an insane society, a prison for our minds. Where up is down and down is up. We worship people like gods and poison people's minds with lower consciousness and fake spirituality. It brings sadness and un-fulfillment.
Second reason for depression: ....I think that depression is caused by chemicals in the brain. I think a lot of people have ammonia on the brain. I think this because when people die of cancer, they usually die not of cancer, but ammonia poisoning according to Dr. Hulda Clark. Ammonia causes the brain to fire continually due to cholinesterase inhibition. This causes depression, and continues repetitive thoughts over and over. Sadness, fatigue etc. To test for this I have purchased ammonia testers that are used for fish tanks. Above .5 is high..i tested off the charts The remedy for this is to take ornithine/arginine and egg lecithin to coat the nerves..

PS: I have no comment on an event in which conjecture enters before a communication of the facts has been given.
