"Gualberto, what is your view about this condition of depression?" This is a question. After all, depression is our subject today, in this video. Depression: what state is this?
See, we are dealing with a state of psychological disorder, so this is not something unusual in the mind, because, basically, what we call "mind" – and, here, we are referring to the separatist mind, the dualistic mind, the egoic mind... Depression is a state of disorder, also as part of the egoic mind.
It has, yes, some physical and chemical aspects, in the brain itself, but the basis of depression is always psychological conflict, it is the duality of thought, it is the contradiction of thought.
Thought is always placing itself as a disorder, from the psychological point of view, within human beings. It has a simple and natural function of memory, of remembrance, because, basically, thought is memory, thought is remembrance. But, regarding human beings, what we have seen is this condition of psychological disorder, produced by psychological time, created by this memory.
So, basically, thought is time, it is psychological time, because time, which is thought, is memory. What thought does is produce an illusory identity within that experience of remembrance, of recollection, of memory.
So, thought creates an element, this element called "me," "I," ego, "myself" – these are names given to this element that thought has created. This "me," this "I," this ego, this "person," these names which thought calls to be a present identity, here and now, is not real, and it is fighting against Life as Life is.
Life has a sampling, a presentation. Life has a shape. Life is what It is, but this "me," this ego, this "person," this supposed identity, does not accept. This occurs because of this pattern of conditioning, of culture, because, actually, we are raised to clash with Life, and not to welcome Life as It is, as It shows itself.
We are living within pattern of conditionings, in our culture, where we are fighting against the Reality of Life as It is, as It shows itself. So, there is always this conflict, there is always this fight between this "me," this "I," this ego, this "person," and Life as It appears.
In this fight, Life is always stronger, because Life is what It is. Life does not bend to the whims, to these vanities of this false "I," this ego. This ego rebels, does nothing but conflict, war and fighting against what it cannot win, and then it ends up feeling in this way, this manner.
The non-acceptance, the non-embracing, the non-vision of Life as It is, due a false center resisting, fighting, battling, this sustains this thing called "depression," this condition called "depression," this psychological disorder called "depression."
My invitation to you in these meetings, in Satsang, here in this work, is for you to discover the beauty, the art of Meditation.
Meditation is this meeting with Life as It is, in this welcoming, where is no "me," "I," this ego, this "person."
So, this finishes, puts an end to contradiction and, naturally, to conflict. So, every form of present suffering in this false identity – and depression is a condition, it is a way, it is a form of this suffering – this ends when you realize the Truth about who You are.
The Realization of the Truth about who You are, is the Recognition of Life as It is, which represents the Welcoming of the Truth about yourself, about yourself; there is no rejection, there is no contradiction, there is no conflict, there is no fight, there is no depression.
Meditation is the Blossoming of Peace, of Love, of Freedom, of Welcoming the Beauty of Life, the Beauty of Existence. There is no suffering in Life; suffering is internal, suffering is psychological, suffering has as its basis resistance. Ego is resistance, and this is suffering. Life is as It is. Some situations are not that comfortable, but it is as Life shows itself, how It is presented.
Resistance is to open up for contradiction, to psychological conflict, to the presence of depression. Not knowing how to deal with oneself, yourself, basically, constitutes the possibility of states of internal disorder, psychological disorder.
To learn to deal with thoughts, with feelings, with emotions, with sensations, and learning to deal with this, means to not identify yourself with that given experience, placing yourself as the center of it, as someone for whom this experience is happening. When this happens, see, when the experience is pleasant, that "me," this "I," that ego, feels egoically fulfilled, but when the experience is unpleasant, this "me," this "I," this ego feels rejected, despised, not accepted, not loved, not acknowledged. This generates resistance, that generates suffering, that generates depression.
So, what is said here for depression, also applies to several other cases of rejections of Life as It is. They are conditions present due to... according to the direct amount of rejection of Life as It is, as It appears.
Not knowing how to flow with this, not knowing how to "go" with it, is to be in resistance. Flowing with this is You in your State of Pure Understanding, which is Consciousness, which is Meditation.
So, anxiety also takes place; this form of fear – also called anxiety – also takes place. So, when we are talking of anxiety, when we are talking of fear, when we are talking of depression, when we are talking of psychological disorder, we are talking of this illusory presence, something which is established in the ignorance about who, in fact, You are.
If you realize the Truth that You bring, that You are here and now, there is no space for fear, for anxiety, for depression, because You are Consciousness, this is your True State, this is your Real State.
Some call this Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening. Spiritual Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening is the emergence of your State, it is the blossoming of your State, it is the real manifestation of your Natural State, which is your Divine State, which is your State of Consciousness of the Reality of God, the Reality about oneself, about yourself.
So, the end of thought, the end of psychological disorder, the end of this notion of a present identity to control, to manipulate, to fix Life, this is not present in You, in your Self, in your Natural State. It is present only in this state of psychological contradiction, in this mental state, which is pure cultural, social conditioning, something that you have been living and received in this culture, in all this unconsciousness of life which everyone around you lives in, within this same pattern, within this same model.
So, in all this unconsciousness, this has manifested today and is manifested there in this mechanism, in this body-mind. It is possible to go beyond this, by going beyond the egoic mind, beyond the sense of duality, separation between you and Life, between you and Existence, between you and the other, between you and God.
