Other than altered states (alcohol, drugs, mushrooms, etc., psychosis brought about by these and some other extreme catalysts besides chakra blockages, what are the definitions of a mental illness?

Besides, body complex (brain) effects of injury, accident, are not many of those so called mental illness a pre-incarnational arrrangement to learn certain lessons?

We can also consider negative attacks and those only have effect aggrandizing current pessimistic or negative emotional states (if allowed by you) already present in the entity.

We know that vitamins can have a large effect on the sense of well being also, good vitamin D being one of them.

I think I would look for something wrong in what you are doing, rather than something wrong with "you".

Hi Jewells,

There is that one main catalyst with many different facets, it resolves by looking for the love in everything.

On the health side, many suffer from some kind of toxins such as Heavy metals or food intolerance or allergies or toxins from medical drugs... For others, it is electro smog or phone mast or tv... Have you spoken with your medical doctor?

Be well and take care

Of course it is catalyst, as is everything. Nothing is "exempt" from being catalyst.

You must accept your condition, whatever it may be, in order to address it. But "accept" does not mean resignation, it means embracing the condition in order to know where to go from "there". There is no difficulty which can not be addressed more effectively by a more conscious attitude. Find out about it and own it if you can.

Depression seems a blockage indeed.

Do you meditate?

you sound british so you probably don't get a lot of sun. but i'd try to get as much as possible as well as take vitamin d. i'd also make sure to eat well, you could try maca, spirulina and gojiberries for proper food. try to eat organic stuff and fresh veggies and fruit. cut out the crap.

also there's skate or cod liver oil you get raw from greenpasture.org or another site for europe, it helps decalcify your pineal gland. i wouldn't take antidepressants unless really necessary. apparently prozac is made from fluoride.

it sounds like you do understand you are more than you think, and you should maybe tell yourself that. you've done well.

I agree with zenmaster not to repress the emotions since implications are more profound (in time-space); however, I find that using the imagination helps me to cope with negative situations without inflicting any damage on others.

I am still responsible in finding the balance for myself.

I, too, have suffered with depression most of my life, and it was at it's worst when I still had teenagers in the home. They are grown now and life has settled down a bit for me which makes it easier to focus on taking care of myself more thoroughly.

The only thing I've done that I don't see recommended here is the use of full spectrum lights during the long winter months when I can't get much sunshine. That plus the vitamin D seems to help significantly.

Light and love to you, Jewells!

Quote:18.5 Questioner: Thank you. I have a question here that I will read: “Much of the mystic tradition of seeking on Earth holds the belief that the individual self must be erased or obliterated and the material world ignored for the individual to reach ‘nirvana,’ as it is called, or enlightenment. What is the proper role of the individual self and its worldly activities to aid an individual to grow more into the Law of One?”

Ra: I am Ra. The proper role of the entity is in this density to experience all things desired, to then analyze, understand, and accept these experiences, distilling from them the love/light within them. Nothing shall be overcome. That which is not needed falls away.

The orientation develops due to analysis of desire. These desires become more and more distorted towards conscious application of love/light as the entity furnishes itself with distilled experience. We have found it to be inappropriate in the extreme to encourage the overcoming of any desires, except to suggest the imagination rather than the carrying out in the physical plane, as you call it, of those desires not consonant with the Law of One, thus preserving the primal distortion of free will.

The reason it is unwise to overcome is that overcoming is an unbalanced action creating difficulties in balancing in the time/space continuum. Overcoming, thus, creates the further environment for holding on to that which apparently has been overcome.

All things are acceptable in the proper time for each entity, and in experiencing, in understanding, in accepting, in then sharing with other-selves, the appropriate distortion shall be moving away from distortions of one kind to distortions of another which may be more consonant with the Law of One.

It is, shall we say, a shortcut to simply ignore or overcome any desire. It must instead be understood and accepted. This takes patience and experience which can be analyzed with care, with compassion for self and for other-self.
