16. DUMPING DEPRESSION Life is fraught with obstacles and tests that sometimes knock us off our feet. When we do lose our balance and fall flat on our faces, it’s important to stand up again rather than to sink into doubt and depression . . .and dust ourselves off. INSIGHT-Ascending the spiritual ladder requires far more greatness and strength than conquering nations, building empires, or attaining great wealth. The negative forces (our ego) that dwell in the world use a two-step plan against us. They: 1. Make us fail. 2. Keep us down through feelings of guilt and depression over our setbacks Getting up again generates greater spiritual Light in the world than if we had never fallen in the first place. The fact that we fell is not what’s important. True greatness lies in the act of rising again. But depression is an alluring emotional state. In point of fact, it’s downright tempting, for it, too, arouses energy within a downhearted individual. But the nature of this energy is negative and nocuous, whereas the spiritual energy of the Light is positive and transformational. When we rise out of our depression with the intent to reveal Light in the world, positive energy envelops us, bringing great blessings and untold joy to all existence. MEDITATION-The emotional strength to stand after you stumble, to rise after you fall, and to endure when the path seems unendurable is bestowed upon you. Pronounced: HEY KUF MEM
