depression

*Liquid pukes popcorn everywhere just at the mention of the word*

 

...and with those words, I now pronounce this a "dead thread"

 

Four pages or so about the actual subject of the thread; Depression, and the other fifteen pages... pointless bickering that proved nothing and got nobody anywhere. Ah well, ... how about we all make a concerted effort to keep on topic, mostly, from now on?

Did anyone learn anything?

 

I did. :cheers2: I don't think it was a waste. I learned quite a bit actually.

Why stay on topic? Why not let it flow how it flows? I find that there's always a reason for it and it always proves helpful. I mine gold from every encounter.

 

It's a resurrection! *sounds bells & trumpets*

 

ya, I got a good belly-laugh out of the last of it

 

there really is life after death...hmmmm...

 

hahahaha!

 

Mainly out of respect for the OP and the thread itself. Ok so it's already trashed.... too late for a band aid i guess. I learned nothing new.

 

Yes.

 

:cheers2:

 

Oh and I want to add that I'm very grateful for everyone's participation in my learning experience. I couldn't have had it without each and every one of you. Thank you. Truly.

 

Every perception is a learning experience.
Something I've always known deep down, but sometimes have trouble putting into practice.

 

Isn't that the truth? I've found that EVERYTHING, literally EVERYTHING.. every experience, book, movie, encounter, situtation, person, encounter... everything comes with a gift for me, an opportunity to learn something. There isn't one single moment that's lacking this opportunity. When we realize how amazing life is, that it blesses us with such tremendous gifts in each and every moment!

 

It certainly is a crazy place we inhabit. Totally mind blowing. It seems that so many people dislike verbal conflict on the forums, but I think that they often miss what it is in essence. I can't speak for forums in general, but at least in this thread, I didn't see anyone disagreeing just for the sake of antagonizing someone else. When we are in conflict, to me, that represents the most optimum time for learning, simply because of the number of oppourtunities for self reflection those conflicts expose. I regret when people choose not to see this. All is well with all of us bickering people, in other words.

 

Yes, I agree. Very wise words, Neo. That's why I don't like to control the direction of things (consciously anyway lol) , because I guess I trust that as long as it feels right then whatever happens and however it flows is for a reason. As it says in A Course In Miracles.. you never know what anything is for. And I find that if I look a bit deeper I can always sense the wisdom behind what is happening, even if it doesn't appear very "wise" on the surface. What I look for is... "how am I being"? What is up with me? Am I at peace? Is there a disturbance in the force? lol! I've become very sensitive to my energy and can tell when there's a ripple. And the ripple ALWAYS has to do with "me". So it doesn't really matter how anyone else is being. What matter is how I am being and whether or not I'm honoring my guidance in the moment.

 

great words of wise, blues. by the way, in another time another thread another space I read and reread posts between you and pellinore and got so much out of it.

 

thank you.

I'm very happy and full of love this morning. Just wanted to say that.

 

It must be contageous (sp?).

 

wouldn't it be great if EVERYONE caught THAT wave LOL
