In the Light — Alexander Gallier Interview 07

In an era where most people can claim that they have everything they could ever possibly want, depression is epidemic throughout the Human family. Depression is an unusually strong belief in “the unattainable and unchangeable.” It is a repression, a distortion, and a denial of Love. It is also highly significant, spiritually speaking, in that it is a marker of accelerated individual evolution.

Anything unnatural first begins as its opposite. The most natural thing to us all is Love. It is the truth of who we all are, what we aspire to, what we wish to share, and what we wish to receive. All of us, as Spirit, come in clean; fresh from our experience in-between Incarnations [especially those regarded by society as “the wicked,” “the damaged”]. By this point all old hurts have been healed and fresh perspectives had, and we begin our newest Identity with a fresh slate.

Our formative years are spent learning how to once again operate with the Body. Neural pathways, coordination, communication, and customs all must be learned in order to become a participant in the society we’ve come to. Eventually — and typically in one of our early attempts to reach out and share who we are with another — we are perceived, processed, and deflected by the other’s defensive barriers. These mental and energetic barriers are developed over a lifetime of mis-perceiving the Universe, and only serve to re-create themselves in the mentalities and energetics of others. As we attach our self-worth to another’s perception of us, we leave ourselves open to the gap between who we know ourselves to be and who we fear we may seem to another; whether in relation to an individual or a group. How we are deflected, the level from which it occurs, the level at which we are affected, and — most importantly — the emotion we contribute to the experience colors the quality of our depression experience.

Suppose we reach out to another while in a state of grief, and are told to suck it up. We shut down at this level, incomplete in our experience of this type of relationship, and instead create the experience of despair. Our grief is repressed, distorted, and reinforced by ourselves, our friends, our family, our society — and instead of Love, we feel depression.

Suppose we reach out to another while in a state of anger, and are told to manage it. We shut down at this level, incomplete in our experience of this type of relationship, and instead create the experience of rage. Our rage is repressed, distorted, and reinforced by ourselves, our friends, our family, our society — and instead of Love, we feel depression.

Suppose we reach out to another while in a state of envy, and are told to quit being so green-eyed. We shut down at this level, incomplete in our experience of this type of relationship, and instead create the experience of jealousy. Our jealousy is repressed, distorted, and reinforced by ourselves, our friends, our family, our society — and instead of Love, we feel depression.

Suppose we reach out to another while in a state of fear, and and are called “chicken.” We shut down at this level, incomplete in our experience of this type of relationship, and instead create the experience of panic. Our panic is repressed, distorted, and reinforced by ourselves, our friends, our family, our society — and instead of Love, we feel depression.

Suppose we reach out to another while in a state of love, and are told that we are not liked “in that way.” We shut down at this level, incomplete in our experience of this type of relationship, and instead create the experience of possessiveness. Our possessiveness is repressed, distorted, and reinforced by ourselves, our friends, our family, our society — and instead of Love, we feel depression.

The Universe is nothing if it is not a gigantic copying machine, physically reproducing our states of mind according to our concept of what we may acquire of what we desire. One key to this is in the concept of our internal dialogue — the portion of our Mind that we use to interface with our Self. In examining the psychology of want, we find that by beginning with a statement of lack, the Universe only has more lack to give back. Conversely, by starting with an idea of abundance [“I am love,” instead of “I want love;” “I am happiness,” instead of “I want to be happy”] the Universe can more easily surround you with people of like-mind. What we see around us seeps into our subconscious and colors our perceptions. How we are received by those we reach out to in our formative years [which, by the way, can last anywhere from 2 – 45 years] colors our relationships and our assumptions about other people and the societies they people.

Now this mental and energetic state “depression” is an important springboard in Individual Evolution, as it allows an opportunity to explore some fundamental assumptions about the Individual’s relationship to the Universe and its Creator. Is Creator and Creation benevolent, and should the Individual dedicate their life to serving others? Or is Creator and Creation cruel [or a non-existant fiction], in which case the Individual should seek exhalation and preservation of itself, even at the expense and behest of another? Free Will determines that either choice is a protected right, but for those Individuals/Societies who choose the latter Path, progression will ultimately hit a ceiling. Just ask the Greys.

This path is, in some ways, the most difficult path, but the one most worth it in all those same ways. There is no limit for those who allow their challenges to motivate them. This is a very powerful mindset. Tomorrow holds no fear, yesterday has no holdovers. Our work is in the here and now, in making today the best it can be. The Soul’s true beauty is reflected when we come to the realization that no one else can define who we are. This is a pathway to personal freedom.
