You are about to read something that will both SHOCK and empower you. It goes against what popular mainstream Western society believes in regard to why we get depressed and proposes an incredibly compelling argument that can facilitate one of the greatest paradigm shifts in your life.

So get ready for some amazing information about depression that will help you not only learn effective and meaningful ways of managing it, but also learn how to use it as an incredible tool for constructive and productive change.

Depression Definition

Depression is best defined as a state of low vitality and force. It has been further adapted to describing the emotional state of someone who is unhappy and feeling hopelessness. Western society has transformed the descriptive term into a label. It is now commonly known as a psychiatric disorder with symptoms like “persistent feelings of hopelessness,” “dejection”, “poor concentration,” “lack of energy,” some degrees of insomnia and a total withdrawal from action. (Encarta® World English Dictionary)

So what was simply a description of a persistent undesirable feeling became a psychiatric label that isolated the experience as a condition. As a result, this prevented us from understanding the causes beyond the simplistic assumption that the person was unhappy or unsatisfied with their circumstances.

It’s important to note upfront that no professional attention was given to the possibility that their circumstances may be a product of misguided beliefs and perceptions that are changeable through knowledge and understanding. Furthermore, anti-depressants have become the biggest selling drug in the World. Prozac has become a common household name. A friend of mine is a pharmacist in Perth Australia and he estimates that 1 in 8 of his clients are on anti-depressants.

When we break down the word into its meaningful syllables, we begin to understand the function of depression: -
DE – PRESS means literally, “to cease to press.”
DE – PRESSED means literally, “ceasing to be pressed.”

So who is doing the pressing and what is being pressed? There are two questions that will take us down an incredibly enlightening path about how the state of depression can be turned from a destructive to an empowering experience.

It is understood that constant pressure in our lives is likely to make us feel like we are being pressed against circumstances that are stressful and emotionally draining. When we are repeatedly trying to solve problems and these problems persist, we can end up feeling defeated and deflated: the result being, we de-press from our efforts.

It’s like we press ourself against the situation with our way of perceiving based on our beliefs/ideas/communication skills and when nothing happens we de-press. The act of depressing in effect is the experience of our energy levels dropping so that we no longer have the will or means (i.e. energy) to express our perception.

We know when we are depressed because we become disinterested and emotionally cut off from the situation: we literally lose our ability to empathise or care while we are in the depressed state; our physiology slumps as if our batteries have died. Even breathing can be an effort as we become unmotivated and disinterested with everything around us.

As we are pressed into life we find it hurts too much so there seems to be a self-administered state of depressing from that pain. Anyone who suffers depression understands that when you are truly depressed you do not care about anything because it hurts too much.

Moving Out of Depression
There are a few ways we seem to move out of our depression.

1. The first is through the pressure of family, friends and colleagues who give you reasons to feel your state is unacceptable. Guilt becomes the emotional motivator to press you back into your situation.

2. The second way we get out of our depression is through prescribed drugs that chemically imbalance the brain. This drugged state helps us perceive our life without as much draining emotions. Our highs and lows are evened out to the extent that both negativity AND positivity no longer affect us.

3. The third way we get out of depression is by finding solutions to our problems that inspire us. As soon as this is accomplished our energy levels are ignited and our optimism influences our perception. The glass is perceived as half full rather than half empty.

4. The final and most tragic way is through suicide. Contrary to a popular assumption that people commit suicide when they a deeply depressed: this is simply not the case. The belief of suicide goes against the very definition of what depression is, i.e. a total withdrawal from caring and action. Therefore, we find, a suicidal state of mind neither cares for life, the idea of ending it nor being bothered about doing anything about it.

The best explanation so far for what causes suicide is when a person comes out of their depression and realises that they are being pressed against the predictable set of circumstances that have hurt them deeply. In this situation the emotional pain is so overwhelming it overrides all common sense perspective and makes them see only ONE WAY out of their desperately painful situation.

Here is the cycle chain of choices we can observe for someone who experiences frequent bouts of deep depression:

Experience persistently stressful situations –> DE – PRESS –>FEEL GUILTY for abandoning their environment –>RE – PRESS into their persistently stressful situation –> DE–PRESS –> so on.
OR
After you depress; Consume Anti-Depressants –> RE PRESS into your same situation –> NO LONGER feel highly negative or positive emotions –> potentially experience side affects of the long-term usage of drugs –> Health deteriorates –> Cease DRUGS –> Repeat DEPRESSION CYCLE.
OR
After you depress –> Use this space to create inspiring Solutions –> RE-PRESS into your environment with a new perspective and approach that improves your experiences –> No longer a need to depress because of the same circumstances.
OR
After you repress from a long-term cycle with no solutions –> end life –> Depression ceases.

IMPORTANT NOTE: -
We are not advocating suicide. Nor are we advising you to seek anti-depressants or cease what your doctor has subscribed. We are bringing you information that we hope will open your awareness to the constructive, self-enlightening pathway out of depression. The effectiveness of medication combined with self empowering knowledge could create a balanced approach to managing the challenges of depression.

Carefully prescribed medication from an accredited professional could deliver a much needed reprieve bridge from the fear driven thoughts that distract us away from the information and tools that would help us evolve through the difficult times. This reprieve allows us time to focus on the knowledge and understanding that would facilitate change of perception, build confidence and self esteem.

The Metaphysical Definition
Lets explore the idea of changing our perception/mind because this sits at the centre of how depression is meant to serve our needs. Whenever we are wrong about something we come to a point where we acknowledge it, which is the start of the process of evolving our perceptions. At that point our mind is changed from seeing something as wrong to seeing something as the exact opposite.

Many times we have misunderstood people and misinterpreted situations to finally have a realisation that helps us finally understand it. We all have had these “aha!” moments yet we do not take the overall experience to help us become more open-minded and better able to explore new perspectives. So, what prevents us from going further into new thought constructs?

We find in psychology the idea of “schematism,” which describes the human tendency to want to arrange ideas in accordance with preconceived ones. In other words, once we have a belief about how something is or works an overwhelming amount of information would have to present itself to contradict our belief before we are willing to change it.

On the other hand, schematism is not a negative state; it is also positive where many great beliefs can make one immune from manipulation. Great beliefs also empower and uplift our self-esteem, and great beliefs support our self-worth and deserving of greatness!

The essential biofeedback mechanism of depression says that whatever beliefs you hold are undermining your self worth which is why you have been de-pressed from expressing them.
“He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed” Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Yet, we do not seek to understand alternate beliefs because we have been taught to defend our point of view first. We have become so good at it we have learned to defend the most limited points of view. You only have to look at many opposing views of our so-called global leaders causing genocide to see the dangers that come with having rigid belief systems.

High Intelligence
So what does it mean to have, not simply intelligence, but “high intelligence” where we not only acknowledge problems but also challenge and change our beliefs and assumptions until we have expanded our perception to a level that instantly can recognise the solutions? It means genius, but it is also normal! Albert Einstein recognized that aspect of our intelligence when he said: “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it”.

The idea of being stuck in your existing line of thinking means you cannot see things differently in order to change your circumstances. So becoming depressed is a metamorphic catalyst for evolving how we think and respond to our existing set of circumstances. In order to evolve, we are meant to contemplate our existing way of thinking in our current environment.

The powerful Quantum Evolver Process is to contemplate a different state of perceiving which is aligned with experiences we desire rather than arguing for our existing way of thinking that has not solved our problems and is most likely contributing to them.

Even if you’re not depressed we activate the process of becoming depressed, which many call meditation, so you can master it! It goes way beyond the Western view that treats depression like a condition or mental disease where the degree of negativity and judgment placed on the individual who is depressed is enormous. This is why the majority of those that experience persistent bouts of depression feel inadequate, confused, guilty, frightened and judged for retreating away from what hurts them.

Furthermore, the individual receives very little guidance in identifying the parts of his or her belief systems that are contributing to the problem. Drugs and suicide have been growing exponentially for the past 30 years and thus seem to be part of the problem.

The Magic of Depression
One of the symptoms of depression is frequently falling into tranced states, suspended in a non-judging, highly neutral space. It is this state that allows the ability to bring the left and right brain together so that we can benefit from BOTH creativity and logic.

A reason why we do not draw great inspiring and effective solutions from this space is because we become caught in a toxic cocktail of emotions that move us away from that neutral space. Feeling guilty for not being productive, feeling resentful for the lack of understanding from our family and friends as well as the anti-depressants which press us right back into the very circumstances we would rather not experience. It’s almost as if the drugs help us put up with what we do not want!

The magic of depression comes into play when we can be in a depressed state (meditative state) without judgment, guilt, resentment or anxiety.Would you like to know more about depression? Please let us know! We welcome your questions and can point you to a drug-free solution.
