Something I've see more than anything else in the 6 years I've been working with clients in spiritual crisis, and which I am able to track and parallel to my own life experiences, especially over the last 10 years, is the disconnect between the idea of human beings, being here in this lifetime, on a spiritual journey, and the idea that we are actually spiritual beings, here in this lifetime to experience a human experience. When we don't make the connection in our lives that we are ao much more than 'just human', we skip and miss out on the value of what it is that our soul has come here to learn. Bigger than that, we miss the insight that everything that we experience in life, in the body and mind, is actually powered by spirit, God, the soul - something so much bigger than we are.
When we lock into the idea that we are 'only this body', or worse, 'only this mind' - we then only ever 'diagnose' the body and the mind as the source of our discomfort, our symptoms, our pain, our suffering or our disease. Viewing ourselves through this lens, takes 98% of the insights into the soul's experience in this lifetime, off the table.
In 2020 when I became interested in getting off of my antidepressant medication, I was led down the path of the most beautiful spiritual inquiry. The answers that I discovered en route, and which I continue to discover, revealed to me in sheer revery, that the extent to which we show up in life as the 'small self' (a culmination of only body and mind) determines the joy with which we are able to live, and transact with our day to day experiences.
When we know that we ourselves (as the Higher Self... Capital 'S' Self) are creating our day to day experiences, we know unequivocally that we are creating that set of circumstances to serve our growth.
We cannot look at depression as purely medical, or as a purely chemical disorder, without considering the connection between the chemical imbalance and the imbalance of the soul's expression, in human form. When we are out of alignment spiritually, we forget that we are a three way union, BODY-MIND-SOUL and not simply body or mind. And therefore when we are out of alignment with who we came to earth to BE, and with which gifts we came to express, we must as a byproduct, be out of alignment, chemically.
Why? Well because energy is the precursor to physicality. And so if we are not in alignment spiritually, connected to God Source and the intended 'signature frequency' for our walk on earth in human expression, then how we EXPRESS as human, through our personality (the most tangible expression of being human) is DISTORTED.
This distortion, in our energy/frequency, causes a WOBBLE in our energy field, which means in layman's terms, that we see life through a distorted lens. Why is that important? Well because the LENS through which we see life, creates our WORLD view. With a wobble in our energy field, or through a distorted lens, we see the world, and our role in it, as a struggle. Or as scary. Or we see life through the lens of LACK, SCARCITY or INADEQUACY.
Can you see why this would shape our life's?
Why is this important?
If our world view is distorted, because we are not in integrity with our soul's mission in this one short life, and we see life as challenging, difficult, stressful, unpleasant, fearful, etc. we start to develop a 'way of thinking' about life. This way of thinking, as I said, is distorted. And so our thoughts are essentially, warped. Warped thoughts, are usually negative thoughts. Negative thoughts, create negative feelings, and this creates what we call a 'feedback loop'. When we're not our most authentic selves, and we're not in tune and aligned with our signature frequency (our soul's highest expression) then we get stuck in a negative feedback loop.
A negative feedback loop, because everything is energy, means that we attract into our lives, everything that we fear, everything that we dread, and everything that we DON'T want. Why? Because we attract what we FOCUS on.
In a negative feedback loop, we focus on..... Negative thoughts and feelings thus creating more negative thoughts and more negative feelings. And we THINK that yhe experiences that arrise as a result of that negative feedback loop are HAPPENING TO US. Where in fact the truth is, they're happening FOR us. For us how and why???
TO WAKE US UP TO THE MAGNIFICENT REALITY THAT WE CREATE OUR OWN LIFE EXPERIENCE.
Our thoughts and feelings, permeate our cells receptor cells, and influence the quality of the body's CHEMICAL COMPOSITION - CHEMICAL SOUL.
Our cells LIVE in this chemical soul. If the chemical soup is fed by negative thoughts, negative feelings and negative energy, which creates negative life experiences, then the expression of that chemical soup will be ACIDIC. You can fill in the dots after that. Because we all know what happens next.
Spiritual depression occurs when we lose touch with our spiritual sensibility, or repress spiritual experiences because we don't understand them.
