Depression is the result of an inadequate worldview

Human life is full of contradictions. He constantly strives to achieve INTERNAL comfort and joy, love and bliss (HAPPINESS), due to EXTERNAL transformations and achievements. A society focused on external values ​​deprives itself of the opportunity to achieve inner harmony, happiness and is doomed to depression. Why? 

Everything is very simple, but lying on the surface, we tend to not notice. Man comes into this world without instruction . But this is only at first glance. In fact, it is sewn into each of us and each of its items is a program that runs when certain conditions are formed. The level of implementation of the program determines the stages of evolution of human perception. Entry-level programs (instructions) determine children's openness, spontaneity and credulity, allowing the child to experience a state of happiness.

Similar programs exist in every creature, and it is they that make it possible to maintain the natural harmony of nature. A person endowed with intelligence and personality is an exception. He comes up with a lot of his own, external rules, following which, not only destroys the nature of the planet, but also methodically deprives himself of a sense of life, happiness and love. From an early age, a human being receives the following attitudes:

• Happiness lies in receiving and acquiring. Seek, buy, receive and enjoy life. Orientation on external values ​​- surrogates of happiness  can give satisfaction from the anticipation of achieving the desired. Achievement itself - an external object or state almost instantly begins to cause problems, a feeling of dissatisfaction with the nuances of what has been achieved and, as a result, a desire for more. 
• Think before you do, think! This kills spontaneity and naturalness, and also blocks the ability to perceive the current moment. We can either think or perceive. 
• Set goals and constantly work on their implementation. The goals are usually external in the future tense. Thinking about goals and working on their implementation, we lose a moment of life here and now . Planning is justified, but you should not become planning yourself.
• Follow external rules (morality, ethics, laws, etc.) and you will be fine. In society, the opposite is true - those who violate external rules succeed, and those who try to follow them help the first to succeed. Think about the moral standards of animals, plants, insects, which allow them to coexist wonderfully with all their differences (color, shape, size, communication methods, etc.). People have fewer differences, but they hardly tolerate each other ... Why? What do you think?
• Realize yourself as a person, conquer the world, prove to everyone that you are worth something. This is the way of forming a sense of individuality, the reason for fear, aggression, mistrust, hatred, the desire to have, to protect one’s self, etc. Personality - EGO is the most powerful barrier to adequate perception and, oddly enough, this is the only thing that needs protection. It comes to the point of absurdity - if you want peace - get ready for war, etc.
• Remember the past, without the past there is no future. In fact, memories completely cut us off from life in the here and now.  There is no past, but no future. Strictly speaking, there is only the current moment, which is lost forever. The memory of the past is our Person. By the way, since there is no past anymore, our personality is outdated information about what is missing. But we tend to defend this outdated information so zealously ...

What is the result? A person ceases to perceive the world as a lived sensation, turning it into a set of thoughts, concepts and personal experiences. Life becomes gray and oppressive like the sleeping areas of most cities. How comfortable is it? Most can live with it, but there is a category of people (about 20%) with an increased susceptibility. 

For them, mild emotional pressure feels like pain, stress, or discomfort. Ego attachments turn into painful addictions. Social frameworks do not limit them, but strangle and oppress. The inability to change external circumstances and realize the desire to have something associated with happiness causes despair. The world is becoming gray, uncomfortable and hostile. 

Suppressed emotions, unfulfilled desires, disappointments, the pain of loss and other destructive weaves are combined into one. It oppresses, crushes, prevents breathing and causes heaviness in the chest, manifests itself in the form of local physical discomfort, general fatigue and hopelessness. The desire to live disappears ... Meet - this is your favorite depression .    

External rules are always limitations and pressure. Unlike external - internal rules - are organic and natural. Their observance gives a state of satisfaction, inner comfort and happiness. When you are a rule, you cannot help but be it - it is natural how to breathe.  You understand? Being happy is natural and simple. But how to achieve naturalness? 

This is easier to show than to explain. When a person suffering from depression comes to me, I just show him a place in him, where silence, happiness and harmony always reign. Acquainted with this inner space, a person gets the opportunity to invite others into it. This is a natural ability inherent in all human (and not only) creatures from the moment of conception.

In the following publications, an attempt will be made to talk about the "taste of an orange," or to explain in words what happiness, love, tenderness, harmony, and everything else are, which is a natural alternative to an artificially formed depressive state.
