Depression: Holding Down Your Creative Spirit

Good Day Everyone!

The other day standing the check out line at the grocery store, I caught sight of a headline that said something like, "How will Obama talk us out of a Depression?"

Instantly my thoughts went to the idea that America was suffering from clinical depression, which is reflected in the economy.

The problem is within our psyche, our minds, obscuring our Souls.

According to the World Health Organization, depression is a common affliction and when "treated" or addressed results in improved economic productivity.

What is depression exactly? To my mind, and experience, it is the exhaustion we suffer when we spend every ounce of our energy trying to NOT hear our Inner Godchip, our Spirit, Who We Really Are.

That flame of ours, that Godchip that is ising within us each and every day, is Life insisting itself in and through us. Witness the daisy that pokes itself up through the blacktop and blooms. That same Spirit is insisting that Life flow through each of us.

We resist It. Rather, our human mind resists It. We believe what we read in the papers, we believe what others tell us about who we are and what we can achieve, we doubt ourSelf, and we dwell in the land of ego and human mind.

It, our Godchip knows nothing of impossible or can't. It IS. It knows all things are possible so it keeps on ising away, insisting Life and all Possibilities. The human mind resists these thoughts, and this takes enormous energy to keep the Truth buried.

The normal treatment these days for depression is the administration of anti-depressant drugs, which can for a short time, lift your mood and temporarily make you feel a bit better.

However, the journey of awakening and living a conscious life requires your participation. Certainly you can live on anti-depressants or St. John's Wort for the duration, but you won't feel the magnificence of Life flowing through you as you will when you actually stop resisting your Greatness and become It.

The economic depression is a mirror for the enormous amount of pent up personal Greatness in America. We are becoming Who We Really Are. The ego, the human mind, puts up quite a fight.

Imagine how we will soar when we stop resisting our Godchips and allow ourselves to become Who We Really Are? Magnificent. And, by the way, the world will look so different then, because we will be transformed, first.

Thanks for reading!
