Hi greenwater,

Your post makes perfect sense to me...

It can be so difficult at times to be "less happy" than you think you "should" be here in this "reality" we consider our material world.  I can relate perfectly to your desire to spend a lot of time in the other realms.  However, there is much beauty here in this world too and I think it is very important to establish connections that are meaningful and lasting with other people here on the earth, with the beauty, laughter, hope and love that are some of the gifts you can find here.  This life has so much to teach each of us.

So, here you are on this forum with many like-minded souls. You have my love, here at this moment, my understanding, and my hope that you can find everything for which you search. We are all searching in life and, to my way of understanding, that is, essentially, our purpose....to search, to learn, to love...

Please share with us all that you find in your other realms, and share your heart and your thoughts here as well. There are many here who are immensely interested in what you have to say, whether or not they reply to you directly.  In any case, there are a group of explorers here much like you in many ways, I'm sure, and I, as well as others who will read your posts, wish you welcome.

much love to you, blink

Greenwater,

I like your Michael story. Sounds like something I would do, write their name everywhere to get their attention. And I like his answer. You might be specializing as a Keeper of Records or an Historian. We all have roles to play in the Earth school.

I find there are very few people locally I can talk to about my other world
experiences. It's not even that people might think I'm a little bit out there,
it's just that they simply can't relate. They are understandably skeptical.

I, too, have suffered from depression since college. It's genetic as it runs
in my family. One thing, though, is that my spiritual exploration has made me
happier or at least more able to handle Here. I have a healthy perspective on the negativity and illusion here. And I know there is something inside myself that can survive anything thrown at it.

Nothing beats a trip to the mental plane, but then after a few minutes of bliss, I like coming back and enjoying creation here, too. There's a lot of work to be done in the realm of time and space - and an eternity to enjoy the other stuff.

welcome to the forum greenwater, please feel free to say anything you wish to share. my first thought when you described Archangel Michael was that you are stationed here as a portal among many others to help out with the shift in consciousness and its a lonely area, but I feel you wanted to help out during this time. the portal basically just lets the light into the earth, grounding it wherever they are as an energy. they don't get rewarded for it though because it was a choice of their own.
I believe all portals have like a tracking device and the depression will lift in time as they monitor your progress in "waking up." I think you are with archangel Michaels wave and you received this info almost too soon to be able to assimilate it into your belief system so you might be suffering crash symptoms...you may have to read some of the literature here to understand what a belief system crash is.  some people are going to think I'm crazy and you are crazy, but hey, I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane (a song for you, lol)

I don't think being nuts is genetic btw. never blame the body. its just a bunch of cells and dna, and cells and dna can be changed by the mind powers and the grace of our higher selves. hang in, it gets better...really!!!

hugs, alysia

Welcome Greenwater,

This is a loving and knowledgeable forum and I feel you will get help here. I like what Mendel said and also Doc M, well everyone.   I too have had bouts of depression since I was about 25. I think there are a lot of us.

Blessings, Mairlyn

Hello Greenwater:

You mentioned Michael's Army. I'm not certain why you mentioned this. Perhaps you believe the book of Revelations is about something that is going to happen. When I recently read Revelations it seemed clear that it pertained to the time in which it was written.  A lot of Biblical scholars agree with this viewpoint. If you consider all of the problems Christians had during the time period in which it was written, it is hard to figure why they would write about something so far in the future. 666 was Nero Caesar's number.

Here's a really good article that supports what I just wrote.

I wonder if genetics is the cause of depression.

Dr. John Sarno found that many physical ailments such as back pain have psychological origins rather than physical origins. For example, studies have been done which show that many people have herniated discs but don't experience back pain, while many people don't have herniated discs but do experience back pain.

I used to have lower back, upper back and neck pain that didn't go away until I got rid of the psychological issues that caused my energy to be blocked and produce pain. I know of people who couldn't get rid of their back pain through things such as drugs, surgery and physical therapy, but did get rid of it when they dealt with the psychological causes.

Dr. Sarno found that such a mind body connection can also be found when it comes to things such as depression.

I believe that in western medicine there is way too much emphasis on physical diagnosis, and not near enough emphasis on psychological diagnosis. Things such as drugs and cortisone shots go after the symptoms, not the cause.

Of course it might be hard to get the medical community to change their approach in mass, because many doctors "along" with their patients don't want to deal with psyschological issues. It is much easier and simpler to pop a pill, do physical therapy, or even get surgery; the later when it comes to people who just don't want to look at certain psychological issues.

Some people might argue the genetic viewpoint because some of their family members also experience depression.  Is there always such a correspondence? Are there people who suffer depression who don't have immediate family members who also suffer depression? Are there people who don't suffer depression who do have immediate family members who suffer depression?  Is it possible that siblings sometimes experience depression because they grew up in the same negative environment, or took on some of the psychological tendencies of their depressed parent or parents?

It is important to not put the cart before the horse. Are the polypeptides that relate to depression produced without a psychological cue, or with a psychological cue, similar to how fear is produced when circumstances or beliefs cause us to be afraid? Sometimes 24/7.

I know a person who got rid of sciatica he had for years through psychological means, and he was a Louise Haye fan. I haven't read her.
