The devil.(deeds
of evil; 'devil' is the word 'lived' spelt backwards).is
the pressure to depression and
all evil! For example: Say, a person says something that makes you
feel sad, even deservedly
so. Then, many other like thoughts can drift into your mind as the next
few hours and days go by, unless you deal with the thought right away.
This is being on the qui
vive. Often these thoughts tend
to be mostly negative, getting you to
feel
bad and they can hang around for days and longer.
The deeds
of evil are from the ego which
has many subtle
tricks played upon it by those of the
dark side. The ego
is of the ordinary consciousness. Being in a higher consciousness allays
the ego.
The unwary.(without
the insight that a
higher consciousness provides).do
not have much of a chance on their own, meaning, living from their
ego level as they have all their lives.
You also have happy memories
that would tend to counteract
the negative, but once in this
slide to depression, the happy memories must be strongly yanked
into place. The negative ones just seem to slide on in.
Without the 'devil'
pumping
our minds, the associative
memories would include contrasting
memories to the negative with equal influence. Choice is easier when things
are in balance. But we have the dark side to contend
with as best we learn how to as we go along in life:.Romans
8:37-39; 2Timothy 3:2-9;
Hebrews
12:12 "Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down and the feeble knees."
The devil, including his
leeching.lackeyed.'henchmen',
that we call demons, which are the energies of negativity put into the
invisible.(Ephesians
6:12).from
all of us by thoughts we have allowed,
mostly not knowing any better way. This is called the collective or mass
mind of humanity.
We have all contributed
to this invisible
mass mind, the collective thinking of all humanity past to present
and in varying degrees depending upon the intelligence of our parents,
who may have been alert enough to see at once what was going on in us and
had inner sensing, an inner vision, enabling them to see where we were
going to go wrong life unless they could provide strong guidance in keeping
us on the higher consciousness track for our overall well being. So, mostly
it's a mess mind, making a mess of our lives because we are subject to
it. The way out is high consciousness.
The world is as it is and
as it has been so throughout man's history. Same old histroy, same old
greed, same old fighting, same old us, unless good parenting was there.
But now, in this advanced age of love, it is different, better. If not
yet for you,
learn how.
Contrariwise,
a peaceful and patient interest towards something that comes from a
Godly inclined heart will gradually escalate one's life into increasing
joy.
Compulsions
are from the dark
side. They come from moods from the
'atmosphere':.Ephesians
2:2. Invisible energies of
the dark side can be aligned with, even by
default,
because of our ego, which is
the sum of what has made us as we individually may be, some good,
some bad, some 'badder' than others.(the
some
'badder'), some 'gooder' than others.
All of us in our relationships with others bring what it is that we are,
into whatever we may be doing. So, we have evil and we have good. It's
in our lives and
for
a reason.
Some of us are engrossed
with compulsions:.Psalms
22:12,16.
Your ego gets you attached
to a way that is bound to cause you trouble sooner or later, as it's prone
to self-sabotage,
of which a big one is being greedy for having selfish advantage, within
which lies abuse of power. So, we have abuse in many areas, spousal abuse,
those in positions to make a difference not caring to do so, etc.
And they all will reap
what they have sown and even more than they have sown, whether they
have sown good seed or evil seed:.Hosea
8:7 "For they have sown the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind.
It has no stalk. The bud yields no meal. If so be it yield, strangers swallow
it up." Luke 6:38 "Give and it shall
be given unto you, good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running
over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you
mete.withal
it shall be measured to you again."
A goal of the dark side is
to pump attitudes towards
one's ultimate
destruction. They look for the slightest opening to amplify what one may
allow in mind that has negative implications.
A desire for selfish advantage
shows that leaders have no light in them and breeds from lack of faith,
trust and patience in the Great Infinite One to work things out for the
good:.Romans
8:28. Avoid such 'crap' leaders.
The devil's influence over
the
mass mind of humanity is amazingly evil and effective:.Revelation
12:9. Most people have been or are in the process of being duped
out of thinking on their own. That is, they allow authorities to often
do it for them. Example: One may believe "Surely they would not allow babies
to continue to die from SIDS.(Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome).if
they were told a way that could stop it." And with this reasoning, many
people carry on with their lives of soap operas, shopping, socializing
and wallowing in their own depressing thoughts of selfishness, which to
them are good excuses for leaving things to others to do something about.
Become an expert yourself. Become a highly influential factor in life for
the benefit of all. It's ultimately worth it.
What
can you do?
Point is, because people
avoid taking action on things that would do some good for others, as well
as provide greater purpose in their own lives, they sink further into depression,
seeking 'patches' from their psychiatrist, often to just get through another
day.
A personality that loves
to be kind
circumvents
the character that develops in some of us that is far away from the way
of peace and instead brings forth a 'selfish advantage disorder', a disorder
that is sure to cause hurt in one way or the other.(physically,
mentally, emotionally).in
one's life.(how
so?), often so much later in life
that one has long forgotten what may have led one's life into so much heartache
and depression.
Life is your decisions,
but you have been allowed
by God to be duped by an invisible enemy,
for
awhile.
Other dark side issues are
sexual imbalances, alcohol imbalances, emotional.(compulsive
destructive complex), financial
imbalances, anger bent personality
etc., anything that can get you off
kilter.
That is why you must be.on
the qui vive!:.Ephesians
4:27 "Neither give place to the devil." Matthew
6:13; Ephesians 6:11.
The
dark side is not for you
if
you have some sensitivity to God...
The dark side will always
use things you may be selfish about.("I'm
gonna get for me").to
try to get to you in order to get you into things that will corrupt, if
not destroy your life, now or later. Things
like what?
As a person allows, by default,
mass
mind thinking to affect him, he is led to things such as crap foodless
food and crap mindless entertainment. Little by little he gets
pinpricked to death as he goes along in life. One of the pinpricks
is to get you to not listen
to your body. Just a little at a time, gets a person to the point of
sickness, physically and mentally.
It is easier to get one depressed
when they are sick. The next step if one carries on with crap food is chronic
illness and it just gets worse from there. And all the time, the person
thought everything was ok and he did not have to look into things as his
or her life went along. He was hoodwinked
to his own destruction, one of the dark side's best deceits:.Revelation
12:9.
The demons sit back and laugh,
because they know the power the person could have used, if only he decided
to use his own thinking. But it is never too late to turn
it around if one can begin to think and research for himself. But most
people are too lazy to use their minds. They would rather play, eat, watch
TV and the like, than learn how they could become in all ways, the best
possible.
They have been duped by the
master
invisible duper.
Satan prefers immediate destruction,
but can also plan towards subtle
long term destruction:.Ephesians
6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world.(depression;
you cannot see total darkness and light simultaneously),
against spiritual wickedness in high places."
And so we have the world
things of the dark
side; chemically.altered
'food' from an agriculture which left off nutrition
as primary
a long ago for whatever will force the ground toward commodity.agriculture,
where money and or other nefarious
purposes take precedence
over people's health.
All trials
and sufferings occur to bring us into a closer relationship
with the Father. On top of just living this life, we have trials
and tests.
Why would a loving Creator
allow this? He loves you and He wants you to achieve the highest
and best position in His Kingdom that
you can. To this end He does what in His wisdom, is needed for your ultimate
eternal welfare depending on the effort you have already made with your
spiritual growth. But it can be draining.(Joel
1:12 ".....joy is
withered away from the sons of men."),
but less the more wisdom
we acquire.
The
Infinite is absolutely in control of all details of His creation at
all times. He allows the world to be as it is so that we can learn. He
allows much to just occur:.Matthew
5:45.
We will get
depressed if we are not on top of our thoughts:.Proverbs
15:13. We get depressed if something expected does not come in reasonable
time:.Proverbs
13:12.
It is difficult to
get depressed if you watch your thoughts and especially so if you are also
using
your thoughts to benefit others. It is impossible to get depressed
if you are actively concerned about others.(Matthew
25:34-45).and
hopeful towards the future:.Titus
2:13. And why wouldn't we be?.Lamentations
3:22,23; 3:31,32.
The grand essentials for
happiness in life are, something useful to be doing, someone to love and
something to hope
for.
People can appear outwardly
happy when inside they may be greatly hurting:.Proverbs
14:13. Get to know well those you care about.
Hey! Even this guy got depressed:.1Kings
19:4. And he saw God do this for him!:.2Kings
1:10-16.
David too got depressed
and
a lot and he too blamed the Creator for it:.Psalms
22:14,15 I am poured out like water and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax. It is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength
is dried up like a potsherd and my tongue cleaves to my jaws and you have
brought me into the dust of death.".2Samuel
16:11; Psalms 38:8-12; 40:12;
42:11;
55:1-7;
69:1-4,19,20;
73:2,26;
88th
chapter; 102:2-4;
109:22,23;
118:18;
143:3,4.
Jeremiah too:.Jeremiah
12:1-9.
Life just naturally brings
its ups and its downs:.Ecclesiastes
3:1-8.
Why?
Many get depressed over concern
regarding their daily needs. If we trust our Creator regarding eternal
life, what then is the problem with trusting Him regarding daily needs?.Matthew
6:26,28,30,31,33.
