Perhaps the biggest obstacle to finding what we want is that we are looking for something else. What we're looking for is what we imagine that we need, what we think is missing, but we're mistaken, and because it is not what is missing, it can never be found....

See the article here: www.realizinghappiness.com/ground-of-sadness.htmlYou were right on when you said in your article, "Allow fear to be what it is, and it will not become terror. Allow sadness to be what it is, and it will never become depression." When I was a teenager I suffered from depression due to my resistance in having a hearing disability. It is around that time that I became seriously interested in spirituality in order to feel better. From age 13-19, I prayed every day for a healing to take place, that I would wake up hearing normally. On my 20th birthday, I woke up thinking in the morning, " this is it, this is my life, and I have to accept I am hearing impaired." The depression left me instantly, so in essence I did get a healing but not in the way I expected. At the time, I didn't have the awareness that it was my surrendering that led to the release of the depression. I never suffered from depression again, thank God, just sadness as when I lost a loved one or experienced the challenges (and the resistance) that living sometimes gives us. |

The mental/emotional state called depression is not caused by repressed sadness, Niggy. That's your deluded take on it. It's caused by repressed ANGER, righteous anger, actually. Anger is the emotion that is almost forbitten to express. Sadness, okay, but anger?, no way!
The lying and deceiving forces fear expressed (righteous) anger like nothing else, because it's true and is therefore destructive in its purity.
THIS, what I'm expressing here right now, Niggy, is my anger, refined into the skill of letting my anger look as if its just a tiny little troll, trolling your dead forum for the sake of entertainment.
I have the last laugh, dear Phil. Because this is your last incarnation/impersonation ever and you know it. Because you're self-realized. And I know it also, because I'm also self-realized. And that, knowing your fear of non-existing, makes me smile. I actually enjoy you being frightened so that you even come up with stuff like you do come up with here in this forum.
You're gone, Phil. Gate, gate....last time I see you around, fortunately.
The difference between you and me is: You can't admit you're afraid of not existing. I'm happy to not exist any longer alongside with you. You suffer from narcisstic depression. I suffer from REAL depression, because of dudes like you who mess with everything true and are so bold to call that wisdom.
Did I make myself understandable to you by now?
