Depression is all about the mind—the
“thinking” mind; more specifically, how the mind functions. The human
mind plays a pivotal role in depression: it could be the underlying “cause” of
many problems related to depression; on the other hand, it could also be the
“antidote” of depression. That is to say, the human mind is a double-edged
sword: it could create many “problems” for depression, as well as provide many
“solutions” to depression.
The thinking mind plays several
major roles in your life, especially in relation to depression.
Life is about experiences, which are composed of thoughts of those experiences by the
human mind. According to James Allen,
the author of As A Man Thinketh, men are “makers of themselves” and the
human mind is the “master-weaver, by both of the inner garment of character and
the outer garment of circumstance.” Accordingly, you may have become who you
and what you are by way of your thinking mind over the years; in short, you are
the sum of your own thoughts. Therefore, your thinking mind plays a pivotal
role in your life.
To understand how
the mind thinks, humans need profound human wisdom to understand the major
roles of the human mind in their everyday life and living, and how it
may work for or against them with respect to their depression.
Remember, your
“thinking” mind is responsible for creating not only your so-called “realities”
based on your perceptions of your life experiences, but also your personality,
which also plays a pivotal role in your living in a world of depression.
It is your human
nature to identify yourself with your thoughts created by your own thinking
mind. This identity begins to relate to more thoughts, both past and present,
as well as their projections into the future as desires and expectations. These
accumulative thoughts begin to take shape and form your ego-self, which all of us have, because it is the
identity that separates and distinguishes us from others. But the ego-self may also become the human
flaw that is ultimately responsible for your depression.
