If you’re looking for FREE self help, dealing with depression, you have come to the right place.

There is a solution for dealing with depression, that will pacify your emotional pain almost immediately.

I Spent Years in Modern, Professional Therapy.

This was good but very expensive. Finally, I found something else. And the best part is, it's far more effective at ending emotional pain. It’s what I call a change-of-thinking sedative. It relieves emotional pain quickly, effectively and it’s just as fast acting! It works just as fast as a alcohol, psychiatric medications, or drugs. The effect is almost immediate!. And so I became an expert in killing my own emotional pain.

It’s so simple a six (6) year-old child can easily learn it. It's not new -- nor did I invent anything!

How much does it cost?

It’s totally Free!

Right Here and Now!

You can end your depression today.

Back when I was looking for answers, dealing with depression, there was no internet. In those days it wasn’t uncommon to find people in therapy, dealing with depression -- 20 years and even longer!

Then just recently, in 2006, there was a major breakthrough in modern psychology. There was a new psychology course at Harvard. I think it was called, and still is called, Practical Psychology.

Only 6 People Signed Up For the Course

Anyway this new psychology course was an elective. That means nobody was required to take it. The only people who signed up were probably psychology junkies who would take any psychology course -- dealing with depression or any other emotional problem. Naturally they were looking to end their own emotional pain, which they had not been able to do with years and years of therapy.

Surprise of all surprises, they began dealing with depression and other emotional problems almost immediately. In fact they found what they had been looking for but never found in years and years of therapy and formal study.

Although their effect of dealing with depression was profoundly successful, it was also uniquely simple -- any six-year-old could easily understand it.

So this simple psychology course at Harvard finally debunked the myth that years and years of therapy and extreme intelligence is the only answer in dealing with depression.

As I understand the course, and by the way, I never took the course. So as I understand or misunderstand the course, it involves basically -- how to come up with 5 things every day -- for which -- you can be grateful.

Grateful! Doesn’t sound like a Harvard Course. It doesn’t seem like anything that might interest intelligent scholars. Doesn’t even sound like a college course. Being grateful actually sounds more like 10th grade -- mental health! Something for kids!

If you’re depressed, Gratitude actually seems to be totally useless for dealing with depression. The main reason is the depressed person doesn’t have even one reason to be grateful. In fact, that’s why I was always depressed.

Gratitude as an antidote for depression -- sounds about as much use as an empty whiskey bottle to a drunk. But oddly as it seems, gratitude is really effective for dealing with depression.

That’s why it’s necessary to learn how to come up with 5 things every day, for which to be grateful, for dealing with depression.

Anyway, an amazing thing happened at Harvard. The psychology junkies told everybody! This phenomena got around campus. Dealing with depression at Harvard became easy.

Next semester over 900 students signed up to take this course. And as far as I know, the course still entices 800 to 900 students every semister. In fact it’s the most successful course ever offered at Harvard.

My personal thanks go to Dr. Martin Seligman.

Dr. Seligman is head of the department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. He’s the one credited with the system at Harvard. He calls it Practical Psychology. So that’s why I think the name of the course at Harvard might have been called Practical psychology. Dr. Seligman began a new era for dealing with depression.

But I don’t want to talk about Dr. Seligman or the course at Harvard. That’s because there’s something much better to discuss. It’s how the mind actually works to produce emotional pain.

I Would Like To
Discuss A Totally Scientific Method
For Dealing With Depression.
It’s So Simple
Any 6-Year-Old Can Understand It.
It Explains The Exact Process
By Which All Emotional Pain Arises
And How To End That Pain!

Otherwise I believe you will be like me and disregard gratitude as a means of dealing with depression. And then like me, you’ll spend years and years looking for some other answer. But once this ancient, scientific structure of the mind is understood, all the reasons why gratitude is important in dealing with depression will be understood. But more importantly, you’ll be able to end all of your emotional pain -- not just depression.

It’s a much better method for dealing with depression. It comes to us from the ancient, prehistoric people who gave us the Sanskrit Language. These were a civilization of people who probably most influenced the ancient Greeks.

Yes, I know it sounds impossible.

There has always been an ancient system of Spiritual Psychology for dealing with depression. I believe it’s far batter than anything available in modern, professional psychology today. In fact, in my opinion, it’s the only scientific psychology in the world today. Yet it’s thousands of years old. And it’s so simple, that even a guy like me can understand it.

This is the most profound thing I ever discovered. How could these ancient people be so smart? That baffles me still! Their scientific psychology is not only a way of dealing with depression, it’s a way understanding why gratitude is an antidote for depression. And more importantly, this ancient, Sanskrit psychology also explains how and why all emotional pain exists and also how it can all be pacified.

Also It’s Important to Note,
Just Ending Depression
Is Not Enough.
Empower Happiness Is
Also Necessary!

In order to gain a really good perspectives for dealing with depression, it’s helpful to go back in history and review some of the progress that has already been made in the field of scientific psychology. First we shall discuss a brief history of scientific psychology in the Western world:

Aristotle
500 BC
In his book, Ethics, Aristotle says, “True happiness lies in the middle of
two opposite extremes.”
This is a totally scientific
statement. It’s a fact that can
be verified in the
laboratory of everyone’s life.

One Opposite Extreme he named, “Excess Mental Energy.”

The other opposite Extreme he Named, “Deficient Mental Energy.”

Therefore the Mean or Middle Path becomes, “Balanced Mental Energy.”

According to Aristotle, these are actually three separate states of consciousness in our normal waking state. These are three different departments of awareness. Ending depression has only to do with moving the mind from the Deficient Mental Energy state, to state of Balanced Mental Energy: that is, the middle path.

Aristotle’s system For achieving the Middle Path is simple. It involves only the practice of virtue. That is, the practice of various kinds of virtue reverses the current of the mind. In each case, it takes the mind to the Balanced Mental Energy State from either an excess or deficiency of mental energy.

Overly Simplified:

Anger, an excess, is balanced by the virtue of love.

Greed, an excess, is balanced by the virtue of renunciation.

Fear, a deficiency, is balanced by the virtue of faith or heroic stance.

Depression, a deficiency, is balanced by the virtue of gratitude.

Guilt, a deficiency, is balanced by the virtue of repentance.

This means that all emotional pain from any of these various excesses or deficiencies can be immediately pacified by the practice of the corresponding virtue. This make the subject of human psychology, profoundly scientific, and at the same time totally simple.

When it comes to depression, there is a specific virtue for dealing with depression. It’s Gratitude!

Sanskrit Psychology tells us exact the same thing for, dealing with depression as well as all other emotional pain. And this predates Aristotle by many thousands of years.

All that’s really necessary -- is understanding the antidote. Simply, the antidote reverses the currents of mind back into the Middle Path. And this pacifies all emotional pain immediately.

However, it’s my opinion, by actually understanding the ancient, scientific psychology and it’s history, you will definitely improve your practice. It certainly improved my practice. I cover everyting in my book.

Back to Aristotle, the Middle path is a completely different state of consciousness than the two opposite extremes. And once we’re in the middle path -- Malance Mental Energy -- it’s not possible to experience any type of emotional pain at all. That’s how it works. Simple!

The following is not only a good example of, dealing with depression, but also it magnifies an important point -- that no emotional pain can exist in Aristotle’s Middle Path.

Gratitude is a virtue: that is, it’s practiced in all religions. For Christians it can be found several places. One place is Philippines 4:6-7, Paul writes, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving {Gratitude}, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, (Aristotle’s Middle Path) will guard your hearts and your minds, etc..” (NIV)

It’s not necessary to accept this idea on blind faith alone. Paul’s formula is a scientific process. First be grateful for the little one has and even offer prayers of thanksgiving. Then the scientific, psychological, result happens: that is, “The peace of God, which transcends all understanding,” happens -- even if the prayer is not answered.

This is a perfect example of Aristotle’s Middle Path of Balanced Mental Energy. Once the mind becomes grateful, there is no need for dealing with depression. This is simply because neither depression, nor any other emotional pain can exist in the Middle Path.

On this note we turn to Dr. Sigmund Freud. He understood Aristotle’s ethics. And although he was an atheist, he practice rigorous virtue in his personal life. That is, he tried to completely control his anger, sexual passion, etc. Also Freud used it in his practice. But he didn’t give Aristotle credit. Instead, Freud invented a new word in German. It was also a new word for English, too. Freud called the process, “Sublimation.” for dealing with depression and other emotional pain.

Derived from the word “sublime,” sublimate means “To divert the expression or impulse of an instinctual desire or mental reaction, from its unacceptable form, to one that is considered more socially, culturally, or spiritually acceptable.”

Using gratitude for dealing with depression is sublimation. Sublimation leads to the sublime, which means “To elevate or exalt, especially in dignity, honor or peace of mind.” Simply, virtue is its own reward, since it forces the mind into Aristotle’s Mean or Balanced Energy state of mind. No emotional pain can exist there. Consequently, the person experiences, what the Bible calls, “The peace which transcends all understanding.”

There’s only one conclusion, the practice of virtue of gratitude becomes the most effective method for ending depression. Not only does it kill depression, it exalts the mind as well.

But the practice of gratitude does not come naturally to anyone. This has already been mentioned in the above vieo. That is, at first glance I could not find -- even one (1) thing -- for which to grateful.

So if you’re depressed, please don’t be discouraged at this point. There’s a trick to being grateful in the midst of a major depression. So it takes a few hours to learn how to be grateful. It's necessary to expend the effort. But you have my personal sympathy with regard to finding that all important first thing for which to be grateful.

Next we turn to Dr. Aaron Temkin Beck, who in the 1950’s invented the term, “Cognitive Therapy.” He, too, was head of the department of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately, instead of using the scientific aspect of virtue as an antidote that ends all emotional pain, modern, cognitive therapy in most cases, works more as a mind diversion technique. So the power of the antidote is greatly watered down. But it’s still somewhat effective. In fact, cognitive therapy is the only kind of therapy that most insurance companies will pay for.

Next we turn to the Buddha. He was born about 2,500 years ago. In fact, the Buddha and Aristotle were contemporaries. They both lived at the same time. And although they lived in two entirely different cultures, they both seem to have invented the exact, same, system of scientific psychology.

Anthropologists tells us this happens frequently. Two completely different cultures, with no interaction, will make the same discovery at the same time in history. So it is not at all surprising this should happen in the Greek Isles and Ancient India at exactly the same time.

And again, we don’t want to take anything away from the Buddha, but we don’t believe the idea was original with the Buddha either. This is because this system already existed in Sanskrit psychology for thousands of years before the Buddha.

I believe the Buddha presents the best way of actually practicing ancient, Sanskrit Psychology: that is, the Middle Path, where no emotional pain can exist: that is, the best way for dealing with depression.

The Buddha Also Uses
Three Separate States of Mind
They Already Have Their Sanskrit Names

                                          Middle Path
Buddha:                        Path of Virtue
Sanskrit:    Rajas                    Sattva                            Tomas

Aristotle:                          Middle Path
Excess Energy               Balanced Energy             Deficient Energy
                                       Practice of Virtue

English:   Passion           Goodness or Virtue             Ignorance

Sattva, the Middle Path, in Sanskrit, means a sublime state, So Freud got it 100% correct.

The Path of the Bodhisattva

The Buddha invents a New Word Too

The Buddha uses the Sanskrit term, “Bodhisattva,” to define His Middle Path. It’s composed of two Sanskrit words, Bodhi, which means intellect, and Sattva, which means “Sublime Middle Path.”

The term Bodhisattva, is generally translated as, “Enlightened Being.”

And I find no fault with this definition.

But there is also another definition. A Bodhisattva is one who always keeps his or her mind in the state of Sattva, the Middle Path. That is, a Bodhisattva is one who always practices virtue.

This path is none other than exactly the same Middle Path of Aristotle. So the system of Scientific Psychology is not new.

The Buddha said, "There is no path that leads to happiness. Happiness is the path."

In the same way, this is not a path that eventually ends depression. It's a path that ends depression now. If you don't end your depression immediately after finding that one thing for which you can be grateful, be rest assured, you are not practicing correctly.
Yes, the same depression may come back an hour later or next week. It doesn't make any difference. Simply use the same antidote to get rid of it again.
