Those who consciously feel and suffer their inner depression and despair are actually the lucky ones!
Hello Friends,
I am back. I have more time with me now. Hence I try and come back as soon as possible.
So, how is it going? Many are able to understand and appreciate the logic of what I write, but have we taken the plunge? Not yet? Is it getting postponed to some future occasion? Well, I appreciate the tentativeness and resistance that is probably being sensed. Let me be honest - I pushed my own plunge by three months or more, much after I had mentally understood what this journey is about. But, as I keep writing, the mind is required only to understand and internalise the process and the suggested paradigm. Beyond that, once you gather up the courage to get onto the journey, it is an exercise of the body and spirit.
I have written in the past about those who are suffering from depression and anxiety, and are probably heavily dependant on medication even though it may not be giving much relief from the deep rooted pain within. They have nothing to lose and are most likely to get onto this journey towards FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS. Such persons have both the motivation and opportunity to embrace this suffering, give up the struggle and the defences, and move into a new life.
I am tempted to re-emphasise here that, ironically, those who consciously suffer from depression, anxiety and despair, are really the lucky ones.
How do you respond to this proposition?
For, they are only a few steps away from getting the first glimpses of BASIC HAPPINESS. Since they are probably living miserable and pathetic lives with a fair degree of distaste for many 'things' that most of us are desperately attached to, the idea of facing existence minus these attachments does not horribly shake them up.
This is strange irony. We normally picture a person engulfed in depression and despair as the unfortunate one who deserves sympathy and needs help. The only help he really needs is to be shown the simple path through his pain, instead of struggling against it.
On the other hand, those who are in denial and almost successful in distracting from their inner, innate pain, will most likely shudder at the thought of fathoming their existence bereft of the innumerable attachments.

Yet, I must highlight, as I have done in a few posts in the past, that you can take almost any unhappiness and build courage to face it without resistance and struggle, and get on board the new journey. I suggest this for it may be difficult for many to identify and notice their inner fundamental unhappiness. So if you are wondering what this human malaise is about, don't worry. Take any ordinary unhappiness, dissatisfaction or disappointment that may have arisen due to circumstances surrounding you.
Readers can rewind back to Series 16 posted by me on Nov 22, 2013. I have given the example of a bad day almost all of us have had once in a while. That could be an excellent opening for moving into a new life. In time you will be able to notice the uncaused depression or angst within you.
