Treatments for Depression Understanding Our Past and Why It Happened
Treatments for Depression The Obvious Message Every pain, loss, and failure we experience has both a message and a lesson behind it. The message is obvious, which is we are a failure, should be ashamed, or we do not deserve that for which we have longed. We also may have gotten the message that we are out of place for attempting something. Other messages include being wrong for wanting to better ourselves, have nice things for ourselves and to provide for our family, or wrong for seeking love. Treatments for Depression Look past the Obvious Messages about selfish nurturement needs can hold high levels of shame. All girls need to feel pretty at some time in their lives, and all boys need to feel manly. Those are not luxuries, they are soul necessities. It is a strange irony that if we do not have these needs of pride and dignity met, we automatically feel guilty for having them! Such messages are not as accurate as we think. When we take any failure, loss or need at face value we will only conclude negative and error. The truth is not always so obvious. Treatments for Depression Look for the Good Unlike messages we conclude from our bad event or situation on our life, the underlying lessons are always good. Messages, or face value appearances, are oftentimes negative and shaming, whereas lessons are always positive, uplifting and most of all empowering. Treatments for Depression God’s Role We speak of God outside of religion, not as an endorsement of any particular sect, but as a belief from what we have seen and believe personally. Here is how it works: God intentionally gave us a bad event so that we would become aware of how precious some element in that event is, to us and to others. God has made us spiritually thirsty not because he wants us to go without water, but because we would enjoy the water when we do drink it later. Treatments for Depression God’s will for Blessings Always Reinvents Itself There is no need that you have, no loss that you have experienced that you cannot receive in the future. ‘How does that work, because it does not make any sense?’ You may ask. 'We cannot go back and change our past. Something lost is lost permanently, right?'
You are a child of God, and are sacred, and it is godly will that you should get all your needs met. Needs being met are good and of God. If needs being met are Godly, then those supplies are of God. God is all potential and as such, like energy, He can never be created nor destroyed. The good event, situation or loss, missing in your past is not gone forever, since it is good, it cannot die. If it is missed the first time, it simply goes from your past where you were supposed to experience it and it is reborn again in your future, reemerging in another form. Treatments for Depression the Unending Circle This time because you have needed it so much, and you have learned some soul lesson by its absence, you will embrace it with greater joy than originally. It would follow that the more pain, suffering and things you have done without in your past, the more blessings are waiting in your future for you to find and realize. The greater the loss and hardship in the past, the greater the homecoming we have waiting before our life is over! We will talk later on how to find these missing things we needed to heal our lives, also about what soul lessons these needs and catastrophic losses were to teach us. There are good lessons we are to learn, and once learned, the needs will be removed, and then we can help others behind us in the same situations. Start focusing on what your losses and needs have taught you in the way of patience, values and love of others. Treatments for Depression Why our Lessons take Time Why do our lessons not come out right away so we can quickly move on? The message from experiencing sexual abuse or loss of a loved one, which is shame and low self esteem comes right away, so why not the lesson as well? The answer is most of the time there are other missing ingredients to make the lesson complete which must take place later on. Missing ingredients include maturing into a profession, passing through other life settings, or just growing in age. God’s lessons only come from our view of life years later, and then we can look back and see the completed lesson. Often times we only remember the event in its original format, and what we remember at face value, which is never the complete truth. Sadly most do not ever revisit that terrible past to refine the gold from the mounds of dirt containing it. We must mine our past suffering with a lot of hard work to get the refined gold, silver, platinum and gems that our past life contains. Treatments for Depression the Question We All Must Ask If God loved me why did he let me go through that? Because he knew you would be willing, and someday you would be helping others going through that same thing who are not as strong, who desperately need your strength. You would need much wisdom to do that and God needed a good representative of humankind to inspire others. God was only preparing you for the task which you would want to do in the future. God also knew you would best represent Him in the original situation. This is a simple question, and simple answer, our specific answers will be more defined.
Every tragic loss and hardship we experienced, directly matches a unique strength we have, and has polished our skill for doing something we would desire to do in our future. Look at your talents and life’s calling, and then look back at the hardships in your past. Do you see any connection? They match like two bookends! Treatments for Depression Opening the Door to Your future All the blessings missed in the past are waiting in your future. They will reemerge again as new opportunities, and this time you will not miss them! Our needs and suffering only last as long as we need them. A homecoming is a part of our soul’s journey we take in some form during our lives. Your grand homecoming is waiting!
