Although the effects of depression may be all too obvious in your life, depression is simply not real. If you’re suffering from depression, it’s just your imagination because depression is directly linked to your subconscious mind’s obsession with useless thoughts that you took on board during your formative years. It is normal for your subconscious mind to focus on the past – everyone’s does – it’s simply that the garbage that yours is paying attention to is evidently a little (or a lot) abnormal. Of course, that’s not your fault – your subconscious mind was programmed with those thoughts by others, people and events that made you feel worthless, guilty, dejected during those childhood years.
Whilst it’s normal for your subconscious to focus on out-dated deeply-rooted programs, this obsession doing you damage – you have the evidence of it in your daily life. Again, there’s no need to feel bad about this – everyone’s subconscious mind is doing them damage – you’re lucky that you have the advantage over other normal people in realizing that you have a problem.
But that problem is solely down to what your subconscious mind is thinking about. What you have to do is tear your mind away from those self-destructive thoughts and redirect your attention to the only time and place that’s real, the one time and place that you can fully live – the here and now. If you manage to turn your attention to the present moment you’ll experience something that you probably have never experienced before – depression is an illusion, there’s no such thing as fear or worry, there’s only a world full of possibilities and potential – and quantum physics confirms that that wonderful world will respond to your hopes and dreams.
Pills or medication won’t enable you experience the difference between reality and the illusion of stress – they may well make the pain vanish for a while but your subconscious mind will always slink back to the old, out-dated thoughts that are not real but just an imprint of a past long gone. The only way in which you will experience reality – one without depression – is to learn how to clear your mind. No sweat! Because, as a child, you had a completely clear mind – that’s how those bad feelings were impressed upon you way back then. All you have to do now is re-train yourself to pay attention to what your five senses are telling you, just right now – without adding your subconscious mind’s warped interpretation onto the facts.
I know that the best way to relearn how to focus your mind on to the reality of the present moment is meditation – preferably, for starters, guided meditation. It will take you a while to get used to it, it can be difficult, but a little commitment will produce the incredible benefit of your being able to live your life to the full.
