The guy next to Jeff is such a creationist douchebag.


nice post


According to non dualists depression isn’t happening to any person, it is arising from oneness and felt by oneness. In a way it’s like hunger - it is oness both ‘creating’ and ‘experiencing the hunger (there’s no person). There’s nothing anyone can do to come out of depression because there’s nobody there to be depressed! It’s happening - but to oneness. Isn’t suggesting “you” can do anything about it a contradiction? It’s like saying “now you know it’s not YOUR hunger, you won’t feel hungry!”


Haha.Wow, did you come back to this page everyday since, to thumb down me? Oh dear. Never mind.


I would say something but I won’t cuz It’s not necessary. It’ll take care of itself. BAHAHAHA


If that is hostile to you,you must have led a very sheltered life my freind.


Not really, it depends which comment you think is narrow minded. Maybe both?
LOL wise spiritual guy nooooo, get pissed most weekends, swear a lot, can’t stand comments from dickheads like you, the list goes on. LOL lofty seat, wise Spiritual guy LMAO.
What about you’re hostile comment?
Grow up son.


@nutty:
I can see how calling someone “narrow minded” would be interpreted as hostile, can’t you? Or perhaps you feel you’re just stating a simple fact from your lofty seat as the wise spiritual guy?


The hostility is coming from you if you care to re-read you’re first comment.
No hostility here.
It looks like you’re first comment is very popular dosn’t it?


wow such hostility against rational thought - who’s narrowminded, it is me, or you, with your uninformed, misguided “just reach out to the light” new age nonsense that is at fault here? yikes i’d hate to be a member of your family with clinical depression and be so misunderstood.


He isn’t talking about God as you may think he is. Check out his books.


You’re saying that depression can only be cured by medication and therapy?
Please research what he is talking about before leaving a comment about Jeff foster. Many people have commited suicide even after therapy and meds. Don’t be so narrow minded.


Its a positive and sincere message, so thanks for this.

We’ve partnered with several charities dedicated to helping others who feel depressed, alone, alienated or “different”. A portion of proceeds from ticket and album sales of X: The Human Condition will go to aid this vast community of people overcoming difficulties.

Please check out our channel and we would appreciate it if you could please help spread the word …
thanks


The idea of God has been a contributing factor to my own depression. Not God Himself, but rather whether or not He exists… I once believed He was there, but when I lost that belief, I lost myself, and I lost desire to live.


Use the word ‘Life’ then, same thing


i thought he was onto something there until he started talking about god


I had always looked at depression as related to the separation from the mother not going well. either mother is too protective or too cold, that sort of thing.

how does this relate to what Jeff said?


It sounds like you have someone close to you with severe depression. This can be very sad.
What you say may be true, but you are forgetting to look at what caused the chemical imbalance in the first place. It didn’t just happen. The chemical imbalance is created by the mind in depression, not the other way around. He is describing how to change your way of thinking so that your body stops creating the symptom of chemical imbalance. Drugs are like treating a runny nose instead of getting warmer.


It’s irresponsible to put videos out like this that portray depression as something in one’s control, as though if you’d only see the magical truth of life you’d be free! Real clinical depression requires medication & therapy or else it can lead to suicide. I just don’t want anyone to think he can cure himself with this “new outlook” & then get even more hopeless when it doesn’t work. This is a biochemical imbalance, disturbing mood and distorting thoughts. THAT is the TRUTH of depression.


Thank you Jeff and you who put up this, very good input! I am going to share this with someone who is suffering from depression. I have been aiding her with much the same but this will give outside perspective.


Yea, he seems very sincere. I hope to attend one of his talks soon.


onesense. all AEcnterpret the Biisis mws ille knooble and y he cpoulonlu If us.s


when Jeff talks of surrendering to God or whatever in many religions, that is true. However, with modern day Christianity, I think this surrender is done and then paradoxically replaced by painful prayers to God asking him to help, to take sides, and make us succeed for our enemies to be ashemed. This is very hypocrytical. I’ve done it, and it is quite a headache, so many tedious prayers and no phyisical result. Praying to get a god wife, praying to be rich, all this nonesense.


Just let the movie rolllllll……don’t get identified with the character and be It (awareness). What else can you do? I heard that some people should drop that too in order to know oneness. I don’t know aboyt that/.


very powerful out of nowhere now here
