Cure for Some Depression


The phenomenon of moving negative energy to the "wrong target" psychologists call "displacement." The pattern is not at all unusual, and it is fairly well-understood.

Nothing is more fun-- and nothing more healing-- than loving others!

A "solution" to depression is keeping yourself busy. And if your actions-- whether cleaning up the basement or any other project-- can be done in a spirit of Love, this approach can evolve into a true and permanent cure. The worst thing that a depressed person can do is to follow the poor advice of much psychology, and to think (or, mope) about her depression. The best, and lasting, cure, is completely to lose yourself in the Love-service of at least one other person.

So, stay busy, my friend. And, whenever possible, act out of a Love-motive. This will get you in touch with your inner Lovenature or Lovemind, and that is a permanent solution!
