Pt 2: REAL Cause of our Current Depression
PART 2: The REAL Cause of our Current Depression? (Our damn blog admin doesn't allow longer titles, useless!)
I'm writing this assuming you've read Part 1, so if you haven't, please go down to the bottom of this page and you'll be able to go back to it easily. OK, now we're all on the same page. When I wrote Part 1, I was concerned that perhaps it was a bit too strong or negative for some people, but I've gotten nothing but positive feedback, so here goes Part 2:
So, here we are, living in the 21st Century, a time when some of the most brilliant minds ever to grace this planet have created layer upon layer of labor-saving devices that take us further and further away from a host of activities and skills that have defined human being for thousands of years. Walking is one, hard physical labor in the securing of one's food supply is another for most people. And it is not your imagination that time is different than it was even ten years ago - it is! It is well known to physicists that time is elastic, but what most scientists and everyone else doesn't seem to realize is that we can perceive time speeding up and slowing down (if it ever would). Most people are not conscious of it, but they are at the very least aware that there is not enough time in the day to do what has to be done. This one effect of time's speedup is enough to stress everyone in modern society almost to the breaking point, so it is no wonder that we are depressed that there's so much going on and so little we can do about any of it.
It is said that depression is anger turned inwards and I think I agree with that. When I've felt depressed I have often been angry, my sense of humor completely gone, but it is an odd anger. It's like the rage of a child who thinks that by being angry, he will call in the parent gods who will do for him what he has been unable to do for himself. His not being able to change reality the way he wants to is obviously fueling that anger, but in my experience depression has an element of beseeching a higher power for help while being sufficiently negative about the possibility of that help coming so as to appear reasonable and to be steeling oneself for the divine forces to, once again, leave us to twist in the wind.
I believe beyond a doubt that most seemingly irrational behavior - the kind not caused by chemical imbalances - makes perfect sense to some part of us. In this case, acting depressed as I've described above makes perfect sense if you've given up on yourself and are both exposing your neck in submission to the higher forces and daring them to cut through your depressed act and rescue their little child - it's tough out here, have you who are in Heaven forgotten that?
So, we have depression as a sort of mating dance with the Divine, but the object is not to have sex, the object is to become an infant and be rescued by the all powerful forces. Now do you see what I'm driving at when I say that our personal depressions caused by feelings of being overwhelmed and powerless in the face of too much information and technology that doesn't empower everyone to feel even somewhat in control of their lives and destinies can be manifesting in the world collectively as the current economic Depression, a time when things get so bad that even freedom loving people are willing to give up some freedoms and be taken care of by the Nanny State. I'm afraid that is exactly what is happening now.
I could go on and on about this but I think I've made my point. If you'd like me to go further into this exploration, or if you'd like me to ask my psychic guides to explore any topics, please write me at info@theenchantedworld.com and I'll do my best to explore that which I think I can shed some light on, either my opinions or that of those on the other side who speak to me. And I'll even make some global (not persona) predictions. I look forward to hearing from you and I hope that this blog didn't depress you! ;-)
