Depression from a Spiritual Perspective
This article about the intense subject of depression anticipates
two ways of reaction. The question is: Will it be - in your case
- shock or relief?
When you read about depression, you will encounter many passages
like the following:
"These brain chemicals--in varying amounts--are responsible for
our emotional state. Depression happens, when these chemical
messages aren't delivered correctly between brain cells,
disrupting communication."
What could be probably wrong with that statement?
It is based on the unquestioned belief that human beings are
machines. Although this assumption is widespread, it is simply
not a fact. Machines are built, operated and cared for by
conscious human beings. In an analogous way our body and mind
exist because of our existence as conscious beings.
It is not matter, which builds consciousness, but it is
consciousness, which forms matter. That is actually our
observation everywhere.
The matter of depression must be totally reevaluated from this
new perspective. It is not a fact that brain chemicals are
responsible for our emotional state, but vice versa. Our
emotional state leads to the production of certain chemicals in
our brain and body.
Of course there is an interlink between the two planes.
Emotional states can definitely be influenced by certain
chemical substances. But there is some substantial loss of
information, as the "positive" state induced by chemicals cannot
be compared with a natural positive state derived from the firm
foundation in the conviction that life is wonderful.
Here we have arrived at a crucial point.
Depression is not caused by
chemicals in the brain, but rather
causes chemicals in the brain. Depression is a state of mind,
wherein the affected human being has lost his/her connection to
the original quality of life, which is bliss, knowledge and
eternity.
Neither will medication help to overcome depression, nor
superficial psychological treatment. The only way to help the
depression sufferer is by unalloyed love, which is rare in this
world. This sort of love will not further push him into the
state of a helpless and powerless victim, but will empower him
to take his fate into his own hands.
In this way the person suffering with depression will be given
the chance to see live from a new perspective. He will learn to
love himself despite of any shortcomings, because - by feeling
appreciated and loved - he will come to love his real spiritual
personality, which is always beyond the polarity of material
despair and happiness. When he finds shelter in the ultimate
quality of pure consciousness, which is unconditional love, he
will feel the natural bliss of life.
Consequently this article ends with a request to doctors and
psychologists: Become unconditional lovers! All other cures are
temporary, like shifting a hurting heavy weight from one
shoulder to the other. If you want to solve the root problem,
you have to solve it first and foremost in yourself.
