dear ameliejolie,

if i may, i would like to tell you what i do when i am depressed. i embrace it as best i can. i get into it and feel it to the bone, rather than resisting it ... which just increases and prolongs the depression. unconditional love doesn't make us wrong for feeling anything we feel. depression is part of allthatis. it has every right to exist. and what causes the pain is when you think you shouldn't be experiencing depression.

next time, instead of saying i am depressed, say: i have this thought that says i am depressed. that way you move away from it energetically, looking at it as a thought, which isn't necessarily who you are. often thoughts of depression are not even our own. we just tap into them when we are feeling lonely or down about something. once we put our toe in that stream of consciousness we can easily and swiftly get carried away. then believing it is true, that we are depressed.

when a thought comes to mind that depresses you, turn it around by saying: "that thought depresses me. it is not good for my well-being. it is not helpful or healthy. i have decided to move my thoughts in a new direction which lifts my spirits." do this enough and you will lift your spirits. depression can't exist when you move into a new way of thinking. it melts away.

here is what i call doing the dert (deep emotional release technique), which helps to clean up the psyche. in your mind, get a big piece of carving wood and carve the word depression in it with a hot iron. then light a torch to the wood and let it burn the whole carving. feel the burn, and let it burn as long as you want until it goes out on its own. then when you are left with the ashes, blow them away. people i work with love this one.

also, if you are lonely, here is a wonderful interview david did last month which addresses the topic of why so many people are feeling such deep loneliness: http://margaretwendt.com/others.php#copy -- click on where it says "review other programs" and then scroll down to where it says david wilcock -- edgar casey
