Be Good for Goodness Sake

October 24th, 2009

If I do good things, will good things happen to me? I remember there was a scene in the end of the movie, The Razor’s Edge, where Bill Murray says, “There’s no reward for a good life.” I think it’s time to explore.

If I do good things, will good things happen to me? For sure, good things will happen to you. Will bad things happen to you? Probably.
It’s a very interesting question, because woven within the fabric of our culture is the Christian ideawhich is a misunderstanding of some people in India also, when we start talking about Karmaand that is, that if I do all the right things, if I’m a good person, then only good things will happen to me. In the New Age philosophy, we’ve even gotten to the point of thinking that if bad things happen to me, it must be that I did something wrong. They go back and try to find the cause: the dirty word that they said or the harsh action that they didthat they mowed their lawn and must have killed insects, so now they have a flat tire today. And it becomes an intellectual game.

Going back to what really happens in the Deity Yoga Practices we’ve talked about: we are creating super-structures within ourselves, organizing structures that have the qualities of our highest possibilities. Basically, that’s why I choose a Deity, a Deity is manifesting love and compassion. As I work with that, I am creating a whole new organizing structure of perception that I’m going to use as the way in which I organize my perception. And because it’s the way I organize my perception, it is, in fact, the Foundation Stoneor Foundation Structurewith which I create. So I’m actually creating, I’m manifesting the qualities of the Deity that I have aligned myself with on a very deep level.

That manifestation is immediate, direct, and very palpable. I mean if you can’t feel it, you know, then you’re idealizing it, you’re not living it. And what we’re trying to do is to get out of the realm in which we just think about being spiritual, and into the realm of Living our Spirituality.

There are numerous symptoms of depression; among the most common symptoms we find a feeling of sorrow, void and very low self-pride. Symptoms can alter and they will sometimes pass away over time, but usually depression demands treatment.

Treatment for depressive disorder should ideally be a combination of talks and drugs. Antidepressant Drugs can make a important difference for most people, while treating the underlying reasons for depression is done by multiple talks with a psychotherapist or psychiatrist.

Symptoms of a Panic Attack – Do You Have Horrible Anxiety Attacks

March 14th, 2009

Our globe is chock full of stressors. It appears that the more we evolve with technology and paths to make things more speedily, the more panic anxiety attacks increase. That is food for thought. You would think that bothersome demands and anxieties would lessen with our consistent advancement in technology. Nevertheless, anxiousness and depressive disorder seem more prevalent now than when compared to the past. It is quite possible that in the past, people simply didn’t mention it. Well they certainly make an issue of it these days. Fact is, as a TV watcher, chances are that you have encountered an ad for a medicinal drug, which provides anxiety treatment.

folk are admitting to their troubles in this innovative world of solutions. It might be simply public place aversion or trouble sleeping, researchers keep making progress with new solutions. Panic attacks and depressive disorder are certainly at the top of this long list. When I consider depression, I think of someone who has recently suffered the loss of a loved one or a person who is disabled in such a way that precludes them from carrying on normally. Well this is usually a misconception. Many individuals are pressed down by the burden of panic attacks and natural depression for other reasons. We usually do not know the reasons. The food we consume could easily be a reason. Oddly, contentment with life is elusive to most individuals.

We need to some degree to pay attention to teenagers’ plight. Panic attacks and natural depression seems to be affecting them more than adults these days. Granted, being a teen is tough in some aspects, and unbelievably delightful in others. Some teens may claim that it is all negative. Even I was a teen at one time. We all know what it’s like. Yet, panic attacks were not part of my teen experience. It is challenging to understand the changes of the last ten years. Anxiety attacks should not be a childhood experience. Truth is, anxiety attacks and depressive disorder should be much less frequent than it is altogether.
