our ego

When we try to solve the problems of depression inside ourselves, we think we need help from outside. But frequently these actions leave us even more confused. It’s like a blind man trying to guide another blind man – bot go down the cliff. But there should be another way. If we become more free to accept an advice, I should say that there is a kind of action we can commence any time we want. And it does not need the intervention of any other person – we can make it ourselves. What we will try to do is to awaken for a state of mind in which the cure itself would appear, and not coming from the intelectual part of the brain, but from a state which goes beyond the boundaries of thought. It’s an action that appears when we meditate – not following a certain technique, but simply trying to be open to our inner states. Following this guide, we see that there is a dimension of peace and compassion which wasn’t invented by us. Is not the product of a chemical reaction. It’s something that could make our lives more happy and more open to the world. I used the word “compassion” for a certain state of the mind, a state that is not divided between outside and inside, it takes both sides (inside and outside) as a whole.
Because there is no inner world and outside world – what exists is a continuity without boundaries. That we can understand from a philosophical point of view. Also intelectually, it sounds real and true. Now, to really live this state – is something quite else. But we can try moment by moment. Related to this, I can suggest the reading of Krishnamurti’s books. It could help those who look for a meaning for their lives, in the middle of a depressive period, or panic, or suffering a loss.
