Whether or not depression manifested before knowing about meditation the solution in getting rid of it is still the same. Keep your energies up.

This is the ''learning curve'' of meditation in my opinion. That no matter how much you feel like failing, you keep going. Because there is no giving up. If you do indeed try to give up, be it for a week or a month, eventually you're going to be crawling back to Satan and start meditating all over. Again and again and again, until you stop tripping on your feet.

It does not matter how badly you feel. Even if the mental pain is so severe that you want to rip your innards out, You. Keep. Meditating. There is no such thing as ''too severe'' especially for an SS. A lesson I think everyone here eventually learns

The severity of the depression someone is feeling is defined by that same person. No one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to be depressed. You put energy towards feeling depressed and do not do anything to remedy it... The results speak for themselves. Basically, a person is depressed as long as they want to be depressed.

Instead to completely detach yourself from it, throw it out of your mind and know that it is not you, triple your aura of protection, do banishings, use positive affirmations. If need be a change of the social group you're hanging around. A change in lifestyle (example: starting to go running every day), freeing the soul workings It is that easy. Just pick yourself up

So, yeah... it is not rocket science and it can be solved practically with a snap of the fingers, provided you want to and it is made ridiculously easy when you are SS. A lot of people who are depressed and/or in pain find it easier to be in that state simply because ''this is the way it's always been'' for them. And change for the positive seems alien.

Truth is that pain of depression that has been experienced by someone is meaningless and worthless. In a sense that it does not serve any higher purpose. It does not lead anywhere in contrast to lifting weights and 'feeling the burn' which is positive pain or the birth of a child, again, positive pain that actually leads somewhere. So you have people clinging on to the pain because if they let go then ''what's the point'' right? What was the point in going through all that pain if it didn't go anywhere?

That's just it, there was no point, there it no point in it... So one can either sit there in the corner wailing about it or stand up and start to gradually fix themselves. And those who give up? (kill themselves) well those unfortunate folk will just reincarnate and go through aaall of that pain all over again, only the next time they will not know why they are suffering. So I ask... Is there really any choice in the matter?

Depression has nothing to offer. It's sole existence is to screw you over and keep you knocked down. That's just a tiny glimpse into the mental aspect of it.

tl;dr: Step 1: Keep your energies up Step 2: Detach yourself mentally from any and all depression. Just let go. Step 3: Go to town with positive affirmations, workings and whatnot.

That ''actual guidance'' enough for you?

Cold. Look, I think people know what you said it's very true but that is easy only in theory. It is not in practice. Go tell someone with severe depression to do that. They will tell you it's bullshit and that you do not understand. It involves a lot of struggle. You just don't go from the lowest frequency of vibration to the highest in one second. It's a gradual development and it involves a lot of worthwhile struggling. If you tell someone that their sufferings are meaningless and worthless, as you stated, depending on the person, you could even lead them to suicide. Past experiences shapes us, define who we are. A depressed person has to change themselves but telling them they are worthless will only make them feel worse, not better. The very fact they are still there means they still haven't given up, have they?

The guidance the guy asked about was of astrological type, not pep talks or long explanations that may or may not be counterproductive, man.
Ah. Good job my friend. Now we are on the same page. I absolutely agree that energy flows where attention goes in that we can change our thoughts and our subconscious programming. There's that.. and then there's toxic positivity. Toxic positivity is not going to help anyone.

You seem new here. How aware are you of what JoS believes about certain matters? There are many more options available to improving yourself beyond thought control, for example.

Sometimes New Age philosophies place a large emphasis on this type of "proper behaviors" leading to enlightenment, whereas we focus on using energy to create positive changes within us, which then leads to our perceptions and behaviors clarifying and improving.

Oftentimes, when we are upset or feel poorly, this is primarily an energy problem, especially in regards to specific areas of the soul, but also in a general sense.

I would highly advise you being practice on the 40 day beginner program, which serves as the basis for our advancement paths.

Please also take some time to read articles of interest within the main JoS page, which goes into further depth about our views: Main Page
