The Real Nature of Depression and it's Spiritual Cause

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?

Your aren't a Machine

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.

Chemicals Do Not Cause Depression

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.

Love is the Cure

Only love can cure depression. All other cures are temporary, like shifting a hurting heavy weight from one shoulder to the other. Therefore there is only questionable gain in treating depression in all its varieties with medications of all kind. Although in every psychologists handbook there is a list of many types of depression, their root cause is always the same. A depressed person somehow or other has lost his or her ability to receive love, particularly from themselves and from their divine origin.

Taking this into consideration I have found that the best working processes to regain one's original happiness, peace and bliss are all programs that work on a very basic and holistic level. They always address the root cause. It is not surprising that they all bring a wide range of positive changes in all areas of one's life.

From the spiritual perspective, from the perspective of pure conscioiusness, all these seemingly different areas of life are actually ONE. They are all YOUR areas as a conscious individual entitiy. Even the word "indivdual" (from Latin "individuum", undivided thing, unit) makes it crystal clear: There is no way to divide you. You are one! You are the unifying factor of all your life's experiences, in whatever area they may appear.
