know you are on the wrong path?

Spirituality, not to be confused with Religion, must be nurtured and exercised as does the body and mind. A weakened spirit, as with a weakened body or mind, is susceptible to illness.

Treatments that address the body and mind, ignoring the greater spiritual component, will always end in failure. Body and mind are the wings of the bird, without the spiritual tail you can not fly - destined to crash.

Spiritual understanding which enables someone to address these important issues can not be obtained through university teachings. Spiritually rooted problems require someone trained in areas of spirituality. If the medical community were able to address these critical issues, rates of depression would be declining not increasing. They are not capable - it is not their field of expertise. Admitting that would mean loosing their share of what has become a multi-billion dollar industry.

Problems With the Unseen

Many people suffering from depression are actually very spiritual people who are struggling with the emotions and experiences they have because they are spiritually very sensitive to the world around them - the unseen world. Sensing the spiritual realm without any understanding can be very frightening and lead to many difficulties. Just knowing and understanding, that you are not "crazy", is a great relief to many people who are experiencing things they are told are not real. Scientists only understand what they see with their physical senses. They are not able to provide help in areas of spiritual concerns. What you are feeling is more real than you think. Do not let people make you feel foolish. They are foolish for limiting what is possible and only examining what is perceived by their physical being.

Most of you have been so indoctrinated into believing that you can take a pill to cure most anything that ails you will be quick to reject that your depression, suicidal tendencies, schizophrenia and other conditions are related to a weakened spiritual being. The tendency to want to remain a coach potato instead of getting up and exercising your physical being is far less difficult to overcome than the will it takes to exercise a lazy spiritual being. But for those who have the will, it is the only way you will find lasting relief. The rest of you will continue to look for the easy fix, the latest drug, yet another false therapy and continue to have problems.

We have found our own methods that have worked best for us and we have seen them work well for others, but we are not hear to promote any one specific way. Search for what is right for you and beware of the false practitioners - they may be found in medical doctors as much as they can be found in spiritual healers.

Follow your heart.
