THE HIDDEN ROOTS OF DEPRESSION: HOW A MOTHER'S UNHEALED SADNESS INFLUENCES HER CHILD - Brian Schulz

Dear Brian,

      Thank you for that.  It is true I am sure what you say but doesn't it also hold true that all mothers are depressed to some degree, as all human beings on the planet throughout the dark ages of time?  It is only a matter of degree, there is also post natal depression and the normal rough and tumble of coping with the demands of relationship, the 3D world one's, own anxieties and insecurities, all at the same time.  Too almost all relationships have secrets and challenges and in my parents' day much was brushed under the carpet and not discussed.  I can still feel in my body my young parents' arguing in the evening when my dad came home after a hard day at work.  No doubt all this went into my cells and helped to form the person I am.  But then 'depression' is a mysterious thing, I have suffered from levels of it on and off all my life - I certainly do not blame my parents for it I would say it is more a universal undercurrent or emotional tone in 3D human life because boy you take a real hard look at it and there is a lot to be depressed about!

      Also depression helped spur me onto the spiritual path, the Buddha's noble truth:  life is suffering;  in its present form anyway  - hones and cuts us and drives us to seek beyond this world for our true happiness which lies not in any conditioned thing  - so this is the beautiful gift of quest and seeking wrapped up in the grey parcel of our depression. Of course depression can also destroy people and lead to addictions and abuse and insanity and even the asylum and then drug cocktail to numb the unbearable pain ( or rather the enclosed asylum as opposed to the open prison of this world!).  Depression also points me to the fact that I need healing and cosmic help or in religious terms redemption and salvation and enlightenment; that I am not okay as I appear to be - there is something missing something more.  Depression is also the cradle of much beauty and art,  the melancholy poet is a cliche but has borne some positive fruits.  Somehow we have to transmute the trauma and the sadness of simply existing art spiritual practices and truth and sensing inwardly the love of God and Spirit are the indispensable tools that help us do this.

     I pray that now this time maybe humans can begin to be truly saved and octaved to a new vibration more of our native joy and ecstasy for to my mind and i have just thought of this depression comes from being separate from God and trapped in a low vibration. 

   Love,

         Al
