Combating Depression By Repeated Awakening

I was asked about combating depression,
By accurate self-identification,
As ‘Pure Awareness’ no need for repression,
Or worrying about this manifestation.

When ‘awake’ there’s no-one separate to care,
So cultivating this is the key,
Which lightens all of the burdens we bear,
As their illusory nature we see.

The trick is to resume investigation,
As soon as one notes the depression recur,
So with Awareness there’s re-identification,
Thus joy and peace, to which it must defer.

However, initially this can be hard,
So I recommend doing the full investigation,
Thrice a day, which will the problem retard,
As ‘awake’ becomes the natural inclination.

This will break its stranglehold,
As the mind becomes reconditioned,
And on it one is no longer ‘sold’,
Causing it to become ‘decommissioned’.

My correspondent had an ‘awakening’,
Which banished his negative mental ‘fug’,
Astonished he said it was like taking,
An amazing new wonder drug!

For self-realization leads to overcoming,
All mental suffering and angst,
Life as ‘Pure Awareness’ is stunning,
So for that we can but give thanks.

I write (and read) these posts, based on my meditations and contemplations, as much for my own benefit as for that of 'others'. For this helps to keep me 'awake' in this illusory, and impermanent, world ... our perception of which is based purely on our physical, and mental, configuration.
