Sooner or later, many of us who stand on the path of awakening and knowledge are faced with the feeling that he is dying…
It’s as if we are not dying with our body, but with our personality. This state can manifest itself as apathy, hopelessness, surfacing negativity, internal blocks, and meaninglessness of existence in general.
Everything seems unnecessary. Not significant.
We feel the lack of forces, and desires, helplessness and desperation.
We need not be afraid of such states, but simply observe them.
At these moments, something deeper, truer and most valuable in us needs to come to the surface.
The state of conflict between the old archaic attitudes in us and this inner new one causes a sense of dying.
This is a change in our level of consciousness when we approach a new, higher degree. To the Light we have been before.
We have to let this state be. Don’t run away from it. Don’t waste precious energy on escaping. In this case, we have it only for the most necessary things – meditation, prayer, silence, sleep, food.
If we work in some team, it is better to reduce the circle of communication as much as possible. Don’t talk much at such a time. The stupidity of meaningless conversations and discussions is especially acutely perceived. Human imperfection, both alien and ours, is extremely jarring to the ear.
The more we surrender to this state, the faster and easier it will pass, and the sooner the realization of something important and new for us will come to us.
Meaninglessness, frustration and apathy tell us that we are being freed from illusions. From our old habits. From all the junk that lived in our head and Soul. Let’s this stuff get out. Solar winds are constantly helping us.
Many of us have already learned to hear the approach of these states, and eliminate everything that can pull our attention into the channel we don’t need.
In such cases, it is better to minimize conversations, leave ourselves time of silence, go into non-doing if we need to work. That is, to do things flawlessly, but, at the same time, without focusing on them.
It’s important to drink more clean water. Do not overeat, thinking that we have a melancholy and can afford delicious, and even more, not resort to alcohol or sedatives.
No need to gnaw and feel sorry for ourselves. Eliminate what causes us to lose energy, and leave only what helps our awareness.
This state needs to give up, and do what is required by internal changes. Just live it.
We need to listen to our intuition and act on it. It is not necessary to act on the basis of “it is necessary!”, “I’m obliged”, “everyone lives normally, and I …”. This is exactly what will kill our awareness and drive us into melancholy, or even worse -into depression.
In any case, do not abandon the practice of prayer, meditation or cleansing. Constantly listen to ourselves, what exactly our Soul requires. Maybe it demands to open a book, or turn off the lights and dance, or sit for hours, watching Nature. We have to be flexible to hear the right tips.
Do not panic from this condition. Don’t think we’re lost. Observe this state. Be in it. And then we could hear the real demand of our Soul, which, rising to the surface, marks our step in a new stage of Transition.
And as a parting words, a few more tips from the classic dialogue between Depression and a Buddhist
Depression: You’re nothing.
Buddhist: Thank you for the compliment.
D.: Your life is empty, there is no good in it.
B.: If it is empty, then there is nothing bad in it either. It turns out that I am free.
D.: There is no love. There is no goodness. There is no joy.
B.: Definitely. Within this reality, there are only obsessive illusions dictated by the human Ego. We are their creators.
D.: There is suffering hanging over this world.
B.: But there can be no suffering without joy.
D.: You will die without realizing the Truth.
B.: Well, it’s definitely not scary, because there are still so many lives ahead.
D.: There are war, lies, abomination and temptations around, Earth is mired in its own shit. Humanity is doomed.
B.: The Cosmos is great. And whatever happens, it happens in the name of Universal harmony. Our Souls are pure energy, which, one way or another, sooner or later, will get rid of worldly heaviness and dissolve into the infinity of Light.
D.: Go to blazes, know-all!
Not only we, but also Gaia, are getting rid of the trash of the 3D past. A new crop circle in Wiltshire, UK, once again reminded us of it: Earth’s core cyclically removes everything that belongs to the three-dimensional world (triangles as a pictorial cues).

Wonderful. Only “little” remains.
Let the Buddha tell you where to get silence when there is a roar of a big city around and there is nowhere to hide from it.
Let the Buddha tell you where to get nature when forests are cut down and cities are turned into dead concrete jungles.
Let the Buddha tell you where to get sleep when there is no silence around and sleep has long been disturbed due to stress.
Let the Buddha tell you where to get the ability to meditate when you are not able to relax at all, to fall asleep.
Let the Buddha tell you where to get free behavior in order to suddenly drop everything, leave home and follow the dictates of the Soul. After all, the Soul does not feed you, does not give you water, does not dress you, but simply orders.
So Buddha, no problem on my part to follow the dictates of the Soul, if you give me all these necessary “little things”, without which, for some reason, nothing works for you (and for me too).
