Question about ego death

Think of your being from an evolutionary standpoint. You were not evolving and your being was telling you that through depression. Now your flower is opening. Allow it to open. Try not to force it with open to quickly with various methods. Evolution is slow. You were struggling for many years with a higher “knowing” that you were not living by your true nature. Think of that depression as a negging alarm to take action on your life. The only cure for depression is finding your true nature. In my opinion.

Wrongheaded way to look at it, and thoughts like this encourage anxious thought. There is nowhere to evolve or not evolve to. True freedom is realizing there is no letting it happen or not letting it happen. Every potential path is balanced by its opposite. To give reality to either the thing or its opposite is to be bound to a preconception.

Depression is telling you to pay attention. Don't make it any more complicated that that.

And don’t get caught spending your life on the other side. We are humans right now. So be a human :)
