The Cause of Depression

Cause of Depression | Cause, Remedy, Treatment

What causes depression?
Depression is caused by one of two things: diet or thought patterns.

Which thought patterns?
Depression is, literally, the feeling that one is unable to be happy. The person literally feels that his/her happiness is not achievable.

This feeling typically arises because the person is under the assumption that it is her duty to place other people's happiness in front of her own. These people will dump their boyfriend just because someone didn't want them dating. These people will put their life on hold to attend to a unstable parent. They will allow others to cut in line in front of them and will feel guilty if they are having fun when others aren't.

Depression isn't so much a disease as it is an inefficient way of thinking.

The Law of Attraction teaches that each individual is the creator of his own experiences. Thus, the parent that is continually unhappy is creating that experience. A child, not wanting his father to be unhappy, attempts to cheer that parent up. And the attempt might prove successful for the short run, but will prove disastrous in the long.

Why? Because that father is attracting, everyday, his unhappy environment. And it's really not anyone's place, except the father's to change it. In fact, the father might be very happy being unhappy. Perhaps, being happy brings back memories of his now-dead mother. And thus, he's happy to be unhappy because he doesn't have to process this past trauma.

The reasons could be anything. The point is - everyone in this world is the sole person responsible for his joy, his sadness, and his existence. Another, be it a child, a spouse, or parent, cannot truly affect a long term change in another person's condition. The only thing they can do is the bless person, honor them, and allow them to be exactly how they want to be.

And, once they've done that, allow themselves to be exactly how they want to be.

It is ok to allow yourself to be happy. There is NO scarcity of happiness. Just because I'm happy doesn't deplete anyone else's happiness. If anything, it will increase other's happiness, because energetic people are contagious. But the thing that makes them contagious is the inner confidence they have in who they are.

People are happy because they like themselves. People are happy because they feel good about themselves. People are happy because they live a life of contentment. They know, when they wake up in the morning, that they will create a good day for themselves. They are excited about the new people they will meet. They are happy for the love they will share. They are stoked about the new person they will become, the exciting personalities they will get to try on, and the heart-filling affection they will get to receive.

Happy people are happy because they place their wants and desires first. I am happy because when I wake up in the morning, I say to myself, 'I will give you whatever you want today.' And then I smile to myself, I sit up in bed, and I begin my great day.

When you break through this barrier, the effects on your life are truly amazing. Now, suddenly, everything is possible. A new career, an exciting creative endeavor, that trip to Europe. They are all at your beck and call.

The key is getting to a place where you can place your happiness as being just as important as everyone else's satisfaction.

Now, many of you are saying, as I once did, 'How can I place my happiness above all others?' 'The mother is in pain, shouldn't I help her?' 'That boy is crying, shouldn't I console him?' 'That man is a beggar, shouldn't I give to him?'

And here's where an understanding of the Law of Attraction is truly paramount.

Everyone at every point in their life is attracting that which is in their life.

Therefore, no one except that person can change what is happening to them.

Thus, it matters not what an outside person does for this person because the person will simply attract another person to fill the void if that person leaves to live their own life.

This is extremely powerful. YOU CANNOT CHANGE ANOTHER. Period.

I cannot change you. You cannot change me. I can't change my mother. You can't change your mother. And our mothers can't change us.

You see, we've been putting the cart in front of the horse.

Before you were born into this life, you WANTED to be born. And with such wanting, came the receiving. The perfect parents were found who WANTED to have a child, and since YOU wanted to have PARENTS, you were deemed a perfect match.

When you WANTED to go to college, there was a college out there that WANTED you. Your wantings were aligned and thus each of you were able to get what you wanted.

When your cousin is continually broke, you WANT to change him, to teach him to be rich. BUT HE WANTS to be poor. No, not consciously, but SUBCONSIOUSLY he wants to be poor. And this subconscious desire to be poor is WHY he's poor. And thus, you can give him a million dollars today and by tomorrow he will have blown it all and will be poor again. This is why many lottery winners have a few great years living large and after 5 years are typically just as poor (if not poorer, due to their increased credit lines).

In other words, your WANTING to change another who does not want to change is truly DEPRESSION causing. Why? Because what you want is an impossible scenario. Thus, this situation causes you to feel lots and lots of wanting without ever feeling lots and lots of receiving because you have NO CONTROL over the situation.

It is this lack of control that is at the heart of depression.

So how can we want to change someone and yet feel good about where they are? By realizing that they are exactly where they want to be. If they truly, deeply, madly, wildly, erotically, fantastically wanted to be someone else, wild horses couldn't keep them away.

All men are created equal, and we have seen incredible stories on Oprah of men losing 500 lbs or 70 year olds climbing Mount Everest. Heck, with one speech, John F Kennedy sent astronauts to the moon. We all know what an extreme desire for something can bring about. So, since all men are created equal, that means that those unhappy people in your life are just as capable of losing weight, climbing a seemingly insurmountable mountain, and traveling to a distant celestial body. Heck, Google and Virgin Airlines have teamed up to send people to Mars. We humans are capable of incredible feats and it all starts with an internal wanting.

Therefore, it another person's lack of wanting that makes them unhappy. In fact, they are likely caught in the same rut that you are. They are trying to make other people happy, just like you're trying to make them happy. And when you have kids and they see how unhappy you are they will probably try to make you happy (unless they are extremely evolved). And thus, your continued unhappiness will make them unhappy. Just like your parents continued unhappiness makes you unhappy.

Where does the cycle end? With you? Will you end the madness? Will you teach others that they are the most important people in their lives? Will you teach them that by being happy themselves, they are much more fun to be around and uplift other people's lives? Will you teach them that?
