letting go of depression

[Guest guest]

The following is a quote from the book, " Sixth Sense, " by Stuart

Wilde:

 

It's very fashionable nowadays for everybody to be in some kind of

childhood pain or past-life trauma. They've been abused and used,

and as soon as you sit down next to them they have to tell you about

it. Of course, it's good for them to be releasing their pain, but in

our society there aren't enough listeners. It seems that there are

more pained people than there are happy listeners.

 

Get rid of the pain, pronto. The emotions wreck your etheric,

wobbling it, and that messes up your chances and your perception. It

forces you to dive down a black hole within yourself, one that is

often a bit self-indulgent. You can't see properly from down a hole.

 

The simplest and easiest way to go behond your pain is by working on

and concentrating on your strengths. I know that psychologists will

tell you that you have to take your wounds, your inner-child traumas,

and the various psychological fractures within you to a therapist,

who will help you identify them. Then you have to relive them in

your mind's eye and act them out, thereby releasing them. There's

nothing wrong with that system, but it has one drwaback. By dredging

it all up and talking about it, the ego rises up because it's being

noticed, and it focuses on the injustice of it all. The ol' ego hops

up on its righteous soapbox, beating its chest, calling for attention

and sympathizers: " Look at me, what a horrible life I've had. I

need help and care and special treatment. I need attention, and

people should commiserate with me and cut me a lot of slack... "

blah, blah, yawn, yawn.

 

It's hard to finally get rid of your past experiences when you have

to dredge them up twice weekly for the therapist. It takes years and

lots of moolah, and it stops you from going forward at any decent

speed. As you regress back to the dimension and time frames of

childhood, or when things happened to you in the past, you stall,

treading water, locked in a time'regressed warp of the memory for as

long as it takes. Age regression that comes with inner-child work

can make you very dysfunctional when it comes to outer, grown-up

stuff like getting on with life and making a living.

 

Time passes, and all you're doing is dis-ease. You can grow old

sitting in a puddle of pain. Love affairs, fascinating experiences,

and great opportunities go elsewhere, saying, " He's in a smoky fug of

his own; we'll come back later - much later - like the next

incarnation, or maybe the one after that. Maybe he'll be ready for

new opportunities then. Right now he's too busy with all his old

stuff; better to leave him alone. "

 

There's a middle road. Yes, hire a therapist, go into your

childhood, rediscover and understand what happened, release the

trauma, set yourself on the healing curve, and then drop it. If it

goes on too long, you'll lose your momentum energywise. If you can't

work it out with a good therapist in about six months of regular

visits, then something is wrong, and maybe you're using the therapy

as a crutch. Or, maybe they're using you as a meal ticket. It's our

karma as humans to suffer setbacks; we seem to be innocent victims of

life, yet we can't know in the infinity of things why certain events

happened. Maybe there's a certain justice in it all that we just

don't comprehend as yet.

 

.....From weakness comes strength....Understand your karma and your

pain, then file it. Come to serenity, detach, and work on your

strengths. Bit by bit, the pain of your life goes away. We didn't

come here for a perfect life. I wish we did, but we didn't. we came

to learn. Each one of us was given something we had to go behond.

That is the nature of the journey - working on oneself to go past

weakness to reach the Holy Grail within. You'll get there.

PS: There are helps for emotional pain. I have used such things as

nutrition, homeopathy including Bach remedies, Neuro Emotional

Technique, and just getting on with life and the exciting things one

can do, to lift myself and others out of their despair. Don't waddle

in pain. Rise above it!
