How To React With Depression

Saturn rules this state of unbalance, we call depression. Nowadays, depression is an illness that is manifesting itself all over the world. The planet, rules all types of material forms. This influence includes the mineral world as well as our planet Earth. Saturn's connection with the law of gravity and the principle of responsibility are well known to the astrologers.

Saturn gives us, blocks and delays and also makes us free: it is a paradox. These blocks must be seen as opportunities to grow and prove ourselves as maturing individuals. In this way we grow and in growing we get rid of past entanglements. Saturn represents time and karma. Time and karma, if rightly used, gives stability. Saturn is a severe spiritual teacher, as Saturn sends us the difficulties that we need to overcome to enlighten ourselves. We can come to terms with his energy, only if we are able to reach a spiritual level, otherwise we find ourselves in the quicksands. Like physical quicksands, the more the you move into the saturnial problem, the more you sink: it is only by using spiritual resources that you can escape from the problem. Depression is very much linked to the state of the mind, and Saturn has a mental vibration.

All the fears, emotional upsets, anxieties, and splinters from the collective DNA, etc., form what has been called in spiritual sciences the Dweller-on-the-Threshold. It is by facing the Dweller-on-the-Threshold that we progress. If we do not struggle with the Dweller-on-the-Threshold we will remain inert and lost. Everyone has to be reckon with it.

The Dweller-on-the-Threshold has the nature of a gigantic thought-form or factor, which must be faced and dissipated in order to further development. Its characteristics are big illusions-glamour-maya.

Illusions, glamour, and maya are states so frequent in our daily life are mental and emotional distortions of the true reality. At this point, to face this huge cloud meditation, study, and service to mankind are able to dissipate all this accumulated glamour of ages.

The mind with the omniscient help of the Soul, can break through, and clarify the dark spots. In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna had to face his despair which was caused by an overwhelming depression. Krishna, came to help him to overcome and win the Illusion which was real cause of his despair.

Krishna gave to him some simple rules to follow:

a- Know that you are Immortal
b- Control the mind, because this is the tool to know the Immortal
c- Know that the form veils and hides the divine reality
d- Realize that there is only one Life pervading all forms, so, death does not exist, nor does anxiety, nor does separation.
e- Detach yourself from the form and come to Me in the place of Light and Peace, so the Illusion disappears.

On a more scientific- spiritual angle, depression is a lack of good-will. When the quality of good in life, is not expressed, the negation of good turns itself against the owner, causing an attrition which can cause illness. Depression acts especially on people who has a predominance of the mental nature.

Saturn is a sever Teacher, but Saturn holds the keys to open your doors!

The Real Value of Barack Obama's Presidential Bid

The first time I heard of this man he was touring Kenya, his ancestral village, and everyone there was gushing about him, treating him like a king returning home. This was late 2006. I had never heard of Barack Obama before, didn't realise he was an American senator, also didn't realise how few African-American senators there were, but was not at all surprised at the hero-worship back there.

Black people do not have too many wholesome heroes to inspire them. Many of the latter day heroes tend to come from the music field and what a dreadful example of drugs, drinks and rock and roll many of them are setting; not to mention the distasteful words in rap music which show little respect to women, and others, for that matter. Even when there is clear genius among us, we have a way of robbing it of its effect (Michael Jackson comes to mind?). I adore that man's music yet feel so disheartened at the way he has changed himself in such a sad way, detracting from the very talent we are trying to appreciate.

Starved of Black role models, many people despair of ever being reflected significantly while clinging to people like Oprah Winfrey and Oscar winners Denzel Washington and Halle Berry for some reflected glory. Minorities everywhere live vicariously through role models because of the absence of homegrown heroes, and Blacks in the UK are no different. In fact, when Colin Powell first became a general, one letter writer to the Voice newspaper noted dryly that, "Had General Powell been in Britain he would have been Corporal Powell!"

No Inspiration for Black Teenagers
I have never forgotten that because it struck a chord of relevance and recognition which, 20 years down the line, is still resonating loudly with the invisibility of minorities in public positions of power and responsibility. There just aren't any to inspire the teenagers coming up; to reinforce their presence and value. Many of those in place are 'yes' people, beholden to the political party which put them there, securing their positions while being afraid to rock the boat, without being able to make that real difference, as they are gradually swallowed up by both the Establishment and the 'system' and lose their voice.

You can tell a lot about the government of a country in how they seek to unite the people and be representative of them. If the people associating with Britain's government and monarchy are anything to go by, the is an all-White country! You will not see a Black person of substance or expertise around the them in Britain, unless it is a bodyguard! Yet the Queen is the head of a multicultural Commonwealth and loves to boast about that when she visits them. Obviously charity does not reach as far as our home! This is very disappointing to me because, with Britain's history, and the way it trumpets regularly about justice and fairness, one would have thought it would have led the field in recognising diversity and its own multicultural population in more visible and tangible ways. As a staunch Briton, who love this country, I find that so sad.

That's why America has always had a special place for Black people everywhere because, through the relentless advance of our African-American brothers and sisters in all walks of public life, we too can live vicariously and pretend we have similar opportunities. We feel as though we share that success because it looks so easy, and we have so little. However, we have always acknowledged that the supreme position of president was always closed to everyone except White males. Not any more, it isn't. Thanks to one man who dared to dream, we can share that too in believing the sky is truly our limit.

Tremendous Self-Belief
The real value of Barack Obama lies not just in the possibility of him creating history on an unimagined scale. It actually lies in what he represents to Black people everywhere; the fulfilment of the impossible. As Nelson Mandela once echoed in a speech, by his fearless action and tremendous self-belief, Barack gives permission to all of us to dream too in a way which wouldn't be understood by a White person in any number of years, because they take success and status for granted. Our successful African-American brothers and sisters allow us to dream, to imagine, to luxuriate in what is possible. White role models are limitless, proliferating every minute of every day to become commonplace and taken for granted. A wannabe White millionaire ha lots of role models to encourage him/her. When a Black person aspires to that, we wonder from what basis. How are they going to do it with the lack of role models to inspire and motivate them? It then becomes an uphill struggle as they contend with self-doubt, the scepticism of their peers and the discriminatory practices around them.

However, regardless of whether he gets into the White House or not, the presence of Barack Obama in the American presidential race has already turned a new chapter for every African-American male by showing them their own worth and power. Barack has taken the baton from Colin Powell and is proving to them that the humblest person, without wealth or whiteness, can attain the highest office. And it must begin to do something positive to their thinking and aspirations. I do hope so.

The heartfelt words from this donor, a Navy veteran, which accompanied the $5 he sent to Barrack, says it all. It was his first ever donation and his daughter inspired him to send the money: He said, "Being an African American male, to have that positive role model in Senator Obama, it's given me so much hope. To be able to look at my daughter one day and tell her, 'You can be anything you want in the world' ... In the past I might have said, 'You could be anything you want to be. But president? No' ... But now, he's given me that light. Now, I can tell her, 'You really can be anything you want in the world.'"

Amen to that, sir and Thank You!
