from Jesus:
Let me first comment on
the idea of the “last days.” As I have explained elsewhere,
planet Earth is in the process of moving from one spiritual cycle into
the next. This does not mean that the world is coming to an end. It
does mean that it is necessary for people to transcend the old state
of consciousness and embrace the consciousness of the new age. If people
resist this transition in consciousness, they will become more easily
depressed due to what you describe as internal factors.
What is happening is that the energies of the new spiritual cycle, anchored
through the Ascended Host and many people in embodiment, are forming
a magnetic pull on the consciousness of humankind. People are being
called to come up higher and “Choose ye this day, whom ye will
serve” (Joshua 24:15). It is, so to speak, becoming more difficult
to sit on the fence in a spiritual sense. You have to either affirm
the Christ within you or deny that Christ.
If you choose to affirm the Christ, you will experience tremendous spiritual
growth and fulfillment. If you choose to resist the Christ, you will
experience depression, and the more you resist the change in consciousness,
the deeper the depression becomes.
You might recall that the Bible talks about the concept that Satan will
be bound for a time and then let lose (Revelation 20:7 ). At the end
of every spiritual cycle, people are required to come up higher by choosing
between light and darkness. One aspect is that the Ascended Host are
releasing more spiritual light and giving more assistance than ever
before. Our light shines brighter, so it is easier to see for those
who are willing to look.
Another aspect is that the dark forces are allowed to attack people
more directly than in the past. Therefore, the darkness also becomes
more pronounced and easier to see. One might say that during the past
spiritual cycle, the Earth was like a room that was not in complete
darkness but not brightly lit. So there were many shadowy areas where
everything appeared gray, making it more difficult to tell what was
God's truth and what was a lie. In this transition period, the Ascended
Host are shining a bright search light into the room, so some areas
are brightly lit and others seem to be in deeper shadows than before.
The contrast between light and dark has become more pronounced, and
thus it has become easier for people to choose.
The problem is that most people have not been brought up with an awareness
of spiritual cycles or even the need for spiritual growth. This is due
to the fact that neither orthodox Christianity nor scientific materialism
currently teach people about spiritual growth. Therefore, many people
don’t understand what is happening and they resist the change
in consciousness. They are, so to speak, seeking to remain in the shadows
where it seems like they don’t have to make a choice to drastically
change their approach to life.
When you resist the incoming light, you inevitably open yourself to
the darkness. So you become more vulnerable to dark forces who can then
deepen your depression. In my previous
answer, I did not actually say that depression is caused by dark
forces, I said that depression is always an attack on your soul by such
forces. Yet the underlying cause of the depression is, as I explain
in the previous answer, that you have placed yourself in a spiritual
catch-22 by not making a clear choice to accept the path to personal
Christhood.
So to overcome depression, you need to get off the fence, step out of
the shadows and embrace your Chris potential. This website is full of
teachings and tools that will help you get on a positive track and leave
all depression behind. However, the path to Christhood is not a mechanical
or automatic path. It is a creative path of making choices. So to step
on to that path requires that you make a decision. And you must make
daily decisions to let your ego die and thereby put off the old man
so you can merge with the new man of the Christ consciousness (Ephesians
4:21-22).
