Depression leads us into the whole subject of suicide. When looking at suicide, we see that what is desired is not really the death of the body but release from suffering. The body did not create the dilemma nor can it experience the dilemma. Therefore, the idea that if one gets rid of the body, one will get rid of the source is fallacious. The body neither created the dilemma nor experienced it. The whole problem is going on in consciousness; therefore, the solution is within consciousness. Looking at the nature of consciousness itself and seeing that is where the problem arose and where it is being experienced, one therefore sees that is also where it has to be solved. The solution is to realize that what is desired is the release from suffering. The mind identifies itself with the body and thinks it is a body. The loss of the energy of life is because the person is dispirited, which leads to a decrease in energy. Many deaths are really subtle forms of passive suicide. There is loss of the sense of aliveness, excitement, and commitment to life. Passive suicide takes many forms, statistically showing up as an automobile accident or the failure to get out of the way of a bus. For some reason, the person just did not care enough to take the precautions, did not care enough to love their life or value it enough to care for and preserve it. Passive suicide takes the form of the person who ignores their physical disease, such as the diabetic who just does not care to stay on their diet or take the insulin, thus going into insulin reactions, overdoses, and diabetic coma, with three, four, or five times in the hospital in a coma until they succumb.
