The Cure for Depression

Below listed is a transcript of a conversation, or rather, advice given between myself one another going through a depression.

See what I had to say:


Subject: [2012Scenario] Re: depression setting in

I also go through depression.

I must admit though, Daphane, that I dont experience Love while being IN my depression. I do not try it run around and avoid my depression either. I sit in it. And I let it simmer. I would definitely believe that in past life, I was a chef, or a cook.. I think Indian and Italian in two separate lives.. besides being a house-wife numerous amounts of times...

Anyway, listen, my point is that I have learnt how to cook from past lives, and I treat my depressions the same.

Imagine a DARK black bowl, maybe even a FRYING PAN if that imagery works better for you.

So this dark bowl represents your depression. And you're the cook, experiencing being ONE with your depression. The Creator and the Created are one. No one caused depression unto you except your allowing it to.

So, back to the dark bowl of depression...
What I do is just sit in it. And I sprinkle some loving salts (basically another way of saying, I just pour love into me). 

I turn on the tap that is connected to my heart, the source of an ever abundant supply of LOVE, ALL YEAR ROUND! EVERY DAY! ANY DAY!

Anyway yeah, so I visualize opening this tap connected to my heart, and let the love flow out into this pan. And then I sprinkle a little bit of compassion here and there to create light like nothing you've ever seen being created so quickly by the grace of compassion.

Yes, I give this experience to myself, and I just sit in the depression. 

Depending on how often I do not maintain my life through daily 15minute meditation, it usually clears up minimum 5minutes. After that, it feels like the kettle just finished boiling and I'm GOOD TO GO for the rest of the day. That's it. Done and klaar! (Klaar = 'finished' in our local South African Afrikaans language)

Try it out, see if it works for you.

Don't forget about the tap!!!

You can even use it as a vacuum cleaner :D

Peace,
Jacques

and the reply ?
Here it is.


> Great advice. I will try it.I am resisting my depression and that layer of
resistance makes it worse.Its easy for me to visulize so I will do as you said.

> Thanks!!

To which I replied.. which MAY or MAY NOT help those who are feeling suicidal.

Here is some information for those considering suicide:

You know what?

It's perfectly ok to resist something.

If the banks wanted to increase the amount of money they percentaged received
each time that I swipe my bank card, wherever, whenever, well, I would (I wanna
swear now omg) resist it. Like my resistance to wanting to swear on these forums
with all these decent people and moderators LOL sorry, suck up session :D

But yeah, resisting depression.. lol you can see for yourself what that causes..
:)

Just remember. Those out there that have chosen suicide to end their life,
instead of allowing life to naturally play out it's own consequences (like,
eating unhealthy food - that would simply make your life, and consequently your
body, harder to life a healthier, free-er and more Joyful life. Luckily we have
free will and all that..), as I was saying.. choosing suicide yes, ends the
current life time. But with it goes with you what you wanted to leave behind in
the first place.

Let me create a more local example for easier understanding.

Imagine this. You decide one day to go to a new shopping mall to buy some
groceries. You get all the stuff you think you need, chuck it in the trolley, go
to the tills to pay and so now after all that stuff has been completed, you
wheel your trolley with your bags of items inside of them to your car and when
you arrive there, you discover that you have too many items to fit in your car,
let alone your boot.

So suicide is like trying to remove yourself from this scenario, because you
have absolutely no hope in hell or heaven or whatever, to make an alternative
plan (even though a miracle may possibly be brewing for you as you read this - a
friend with an empty trailer just so happening to be riding by, for example).
But what suicide does, is you TAKE YOUR SHOPPING BAGS WITH YOU!

The trick is to detach, my friends.

You can experience whatever you want, whenever you want, lifetime through
lifetime through lifetime.

We can drop the beliefs of multiple lifetimes, but I believe todays quantum
physics will soon be sharing new light on all of this.. but still, live your
dreams, follow your heart, dont be afraid.. and ESPECIALLY this one!

COLOUR OUTSIDE OF THE LINES!!

:D

Wonderings of the Creative mind

Mmmmm yes I see myself once again wanting to start off a post with a referral to what date and time it is.

YES it is 07:31 in the morning, and no I dont have much to do today. Except drop a CV off at this shop in Springfield, so I can work with animals. Oh yeah, and maybe that cute girl that feeds the birds may be a motivation too. Maybe not...

Anyway so, LONG TIME NO SEE!

Yes, I have been around consistently inconsistent at posting entries, HOWEVER, that is all about to change right now with this post. Welcome to Life!

One day it might be this big ass storm cloud on the horizon, next it'll be clear skies for dayyyyyys on end.
This is how I'm running this blog right now. Like changing clouds. Yeshhh. So, whats the weather like your side?


I'd like to share some musings of the mind that I had a few days ago. I was up at an unearthly hour of 4am after not being able to fall asleep, and so I decided to rummage around, devour a can of pear halves (mmmm!) and, well, play some Sudoku. Yes I'm very much liking Sudoku these days. An odd, difficult game here and there.

It puts things into perspective. Yes, because as I see some patterns in the puzzle, I see the same patterns applying in our day to day lives, too. There's no separation in life of course. Everything in life IS life, of which there is nothing else...So yeah, separation? It's an illusion. Yes yes, it definitely feels real, especially if you believe that you are your physical body.. what? Anyway.

So yeah, I'm playing Sudoku right, at 4am in the morning (I just had to say it like that), and I'm like.. Well, if that candidate is there, then that one CANT be there! YES! Ok, so, then it carries on like that until I'm nearing the completion and *&%$! Conflicting numbers!! darn..

I put down the iPad (or Sudoku puzzle, however you look at it), go attempt to sleep in my bed again and while I'm lying awake from an added logical stimuli, I come up with these questions that I'm going to share with you.


What is the difference between..


I believe I am amazing.

and

I am amazing.


What is the difference between those two ?
This is what I came up with..

The first is a belief.
The second is a state of being.

Or specifically, the first is announcing and declaring a belief. The second is announcing and declaring a state of being.

So I went on to ask: Does a state of being require a belief for it to exist?

No.

Ok then I asked: Does belief create a state of being ?

No was my answer. However, beliefs create behaviours!

How one behaves is a direct demonstration of the beliefs about Life and God that one holds. And beliefs, I mused, are governed by the mind. 'I am amazing' or sad or happy or ecstatic, as a state of being, is not dictated by the beliefs held, although it may create a new set beliefs through experience and observation! Anyway!

Belief AND the a state of being, I further mused, is chosen with the mind, in conjunction (hopefully!) with the Soul and the heart.

Right, I then ended the process with a question, What is doubt? and then fell asleep soon after. lol.


What it boils down to, is that we all have a choice. With everything. E.V.E.R.Y.thing! Everything that you experience is a result of a choice. More often than not, it is an unconscious choice. Yes, you probably not did consciously chose to get bitten by a dog. But if you didn't, at some level of existence, want it to happen, it wouldn't have! The event and experience would have been replaced by something else that was chosen in its place.

No, you are not a victim of life and your circumstances. Life is happening through you, in you, AS you.

Don't you feel like God now ?

Don't you feel like a creator?

Or do you feel created ?

Guess what? There is no separation between the creator and the created. Boom.

If you create a feeling of happiness, are you separate from that feeling?
Noooo, you are definitely at one with it.

But what happens when you (we) create something you (we) DON'T like ?

We generally separate ourselves from it. We resist it. And boy does it persist. Boy it sure does not go away. And so we suffer! Eish, too much suffaring going on here. (In my best South African accent - one of the 11 we have here).

Anyway, we don't want all that is unwanted to come up now, do we? :D So let's move on, with a goodbye.

It's time to go buy some catfood. Kitties are starving.

OK LAST PROPOSAL!

I will pay up to R500 (equivalent of +- $60) for ONE razor blade that does NOT go blunt due to shaving.

Seriously, don't give me bullshit and say we do not have the technology today to create such a thing. It's Gillette and all these BS companies that continually feed off of us and our incomes to keep themselves rich, leaving everyone else with 'less than'.
COME ON! Go eat a freakin' banana, you scum sucking profiteers! Grrrr!!


Ok peace out!

Unique Expressions of Wholeness

We Are One.

Unique Expressions of Divinity.

Oneness is not sameness.

Our individuality and uniqueness are not taken away from when from us when we realize the belief that we indeed are all one, made of the same stuff, that separateness is an illusion.

Duality is a tool of which we have given ourselves to practice discernment through choice.
To chose something rather than another through the availability of an infinite variety of Life.

These choices made consciously or unconsciously, and through our actions and reactions that spur forth from our intentions that we send out into the Universe before us, define our Selves as Who We Are or Who We Want to be, do or have.

To want to be compassionate is to identify pain without giving into being the identification of it, and fully loving the Self, through acknowledgement that pain is temporary and through the healing of it, builds the path that leads to our Evolution, and ultimately, our Salvation.

This process is occurring with or without or willingness to be a part of it. To be conscious and aware of the process will speed it up, and catapult you towards enlightenment.
The truth is, we are all Enlightened. We are all Saved and Saviors.
But what is the action of Enlightenment? What needs doing for this to occur ?

To be compassionate is to provide loving conditions, without conditioning Love for another.

Deep within ourselves we know that separation does not exist in ultimate reality and parts of ourselves would tend to disagree.

Fair enough. I am sitting here and you are sitting there. We are not joined. We are separate. Therefore, separation exists.
But at what level does this appear ? The physical ?
Life is everywhere. There is nothing or nowhere that Life is not Life. The moment you think of what Life is Not, it becomes Life. You have given it life through the power of your consciousness. That is how powerful we are. Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient, the three O's to what God is.

Is God not a part of Life?

God IS life. Life is the process of God, and we are living it.

The parts of ourselves that disagree with separation have simply learned through misinformation, from conditioned and learned upbringing. We are brought up believing that what I do to another does not affect my Self.

This is not True. What I do to you, I do to my Self. What I give to you, I give to my Self.

Do we feel loved when we hurt another?
Do we feel loved when we love another?

We all want to be Loved. It is completely natural to want to be nurtured. To be more whole, to be more at One with another. To be more Loving. We want more of what Life has to offer, and the best and fastest way is to give it away. It is a proclamation to Life ,saying that I have this and I give it to you! You then, give it unto your Self.

To Love Sensationally.
To Breathe Peacefully.
To Walk Gently.

These are qualities of Life that bring fulfillment on a day to day basis, a moment to moment experience. The Joys of Being!

The Passion of Life!
