Adyashanti: mind misinterprets it as depression but in the moment, "I forget to be depressed" (Q&A)

[@marlaadamson1633]

Dear listener, My mind had similar difficulties. Once I started thanking it for trying to look out for me and imaging that I could hold it like a child, things settled down very quickly. We are one, Rest easy

The reality of this for me has been the comfort and peace in suicidal thoughts, or dying in general, and being depressed even with all the awareness, awakening, spiritual wisdom, and whatever else you choose to refer to it as. Knowing how incredibly blessed I am, while having complete realization of the impossible magnificence and abundance with every glance and moment down to the smallest scale of energy vibrations that is everything. Yet, still plagued by the depression and thoughts of wanting to either only go backwards, or be completely done. I can’t understand why people want to live past ages after raising their own children, or experiencing all there is to experience besides old age decrepitude, when every single thing worth living for is in the past. Just seems like insane addiction to being alive, or fear of dying, etc., that makes people live on, because it’s literally pointless after a certain period. Anyways.. short version of my thoughts on this. Being awake, but being depressed while being aware of why you should always feel amazing.

Yes! I can totally relate to this. Not an easy place to be!

It's horrible, actually 🙈 And it's seems endless at some point.

Do they ever get to acceptance of depression? Cause acceptance of it is the only cure.

I’ve given myself so many labels over the course of my life but I think the one thing that has continued to happen during this process has been the falling away of any identification with a label. Intuitively, none of the labels I have attributed to myself quite seemed to fit. They have also all been as impermanent as the personal identity.
