The problem .....
isn't that a person is depressed
THE PROBLEM IS THAT DEPRESSION KILLS
AND THAT THE DEPRESSED PERSON IS DYING

~~~~~~~
if you are willing to take COMPLETE RESPONSIBILITY
for the healing of the depressed person
Please do so
If not .... Get out of the way
///
As all religions
All philosophies
All sacred teachings
State ( in some way )
There is a Power
A Logos
A reasoning essence
At the heart of creation
In the beginning was the Word ( logos )
And the Word ( logos ) was with God
And the Word ( logos ) was God
::::::::
And Jesus was the Word ( logos ) made flesh
//////
Now
I am not a Christian nor a bible thumper
And I am only using these terms because most of us
Are familiar with them
••
The creation itself is being described as a movement of
Pure reason ( logic )
Moving in the direction of the creation of pure man
With ( like the immune system of the body )
A BUILT IN healing mechanism ( Jesus )
That can be activated by MERE DECISION
( he who had ears to hear
Let him hear )
So
If you listen to the Word
The very act of listening
( triggered by your decision to listen / to hear )
Will reveal unto you a path toward healing
And an awakening notion of your true IDENTITY
and the truth that you were created
Out of LOVE
As LOVE
feeling LOVE
for the sake of LOVE
but !!
IT IS A CONSCIOUS DECISION
THAT MUST BE MADE TO EMBRACE THIS WORD
/////
This is as simple as I can express it in the absence of
Any feedback on the subject
••
Now
When I offered this simple truth to a depressed person
On this site I was roundly condemned
The gist of the complaint was that by offering advice
Concerning the depression
That I was violating her sacred right to be depressed
And to express her depression
I was told that
NO ! LIFE IS NOT OF THIS LOGOS
LIFE IS IRRATIONAL !
LIFE ( logos )
Is just something or other doing nothing in
Particular
Just ( you know ) something we gotta just put
Up with
Suffer thru and then we die
( THE VERY THOUGHT THAT CAUSES
ONE TO BE DEPRESSED ! )
and that she had written a poem she should be proud of
And we are all depressed
So ( hey !)
Let's all be depressed together !!
••
Now ( obviously )
NO ONE ACTUALLY SAID THIS
IN THESE WORDS !
But that's what they said
///////
And of course the depressed girl agreed with them
//
Now
I would say
The depressed girl was over -whelmed by the
Unity of the lies and the liars
And ...... (?)
And what ?
Now believes the best that can happen is that
Sometimes she will feel less depressed
And all her " friends "
Will continue to writes praises for her expressed depression
••
NO ONE ELSE EVEN SUGGESTED ANY SOLUTION
BUT STUBBORNLY MAINTAINED THAT THERE IS NO
SOLUTION
THAT THERE IS NO SPIRITUAL POWER
THAT NO DECISION ON HER PART CAN
CHANGE HER EXPERIENCE
THAT ANYONE WHO CARES ENOUGH
TO ATTEMPT TO CURE THE PERSON
IS TRYING TO CONTROL HER
THAT LITTLE
TOOTSIE - GOOD - SHOES
Expressions of solidarity in the pain
Are the best she can get
And these good souls who are telling her
IT'S ALL RIGHT TO BE DEPRESSED
IT'S NOT A DANGEROUS CONDITION
JUST TRUST US !
WE KNOW !
Do know
••
So I end as I began
DO YOU TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY
FOR YOUR STATEMENTS ?
if so // good
If not // get out of the way
•
I am not preaching god or religion
But I must say
( with absolutely no anger
But with heart felt concern )
That to deny the healing power
That to divert one from the understanding
Of this power
Is bad karma
REALLY BAD KARMA
