RE: Depression Is a Disease of Civilization — Aboriginal Australians Hold The Cure

in #health8 years ago

Not only do I understand this post, I have radically changed myself in countless way, by detoxifying myself of many of Western cultural institutions. I place emphasis on my subconscious' ability to formulate solutions that lie outside of culture's dominance. Many times, I have real dreams that point me to taking real action in the world, as deep problem is in need of a deep answer. I would love to elaborate on this further, as I completely agree with your analysis.
I would also go so far as to say that my reliance on my subsconscious energy to both solve problems and come up with creative ideas is near total.
And I am a person who used to rely on drugs, both legal and illegal, to solve my anxiety which used to cripple me.
Now, after altering my environment to such a degree and removing myself from pathologically greedy/evil people which run rampant in most Western corporations, institutions and media, I can say that I have effectively cured myself of afflictions of all kinds. I no longer have depressive ruts, nor do I feel that my life is out of control. When a big problem arises, (as is natural for every human being), I let the problem into my thinking. Inside my consciousness for days, or for weeks or months, it stews, shows me the opposing sides, the possible solutions and the different aspects of it. It is only through this mental stewing, that a solution usually appears to my mind, quite organically and without much mental strife. It appears as if in a dream sometimes, the answer, based in truth, no matter how painful it will be for me to interact with it, it seeks a resolution. The solution appears first to my subconscious, then after I notice it, I look deeper. Then it appears in physical words, images and stories.
Now, I can no longer ignore the solution, it's time to act. I have operated this way for much of my life, many times from dreams themselves.
From a dream I decided to buy my parents house, instead of taking out a mortgage that would have indebted me several lifetimes. Our culture would never approve of an extended family situation, but my subconscious mind knew that living frugally in a large family is the better solution, for everyone. Elders need their life extended by young ones, young ones need guidance from elders.
Dreams are the most under-utilized energy sources in the Western world.
And now I will relate to you the words that came to me in a dream state that I was able to capture. I want to see what you think:
When Kings rule the land and their subjects are busy kissing their feet, both King and subject lose their night vision.
Kings who have never never lived inside the dragon's mouth can never truly lead the masses, who are limping, frail and full of holes.
Attachment based on personal gain has blinded more people than the sun.
Follow the sun, for it gives energy without expecting a return on its investment.

Aboriginal Australians do not differentiate between the dreamtime and the real world. They are one for them. Perhaps that is their secret.

Nuclear Families are a joke. Our species has been living in mix family groups for hundreds of thousands of years. It only changed 2000 years ago and only because of monotheistic religions; that are slowly fading away.
