"Depression is actually..." | Dr. Lisa Miller

It turns out that depression is actually a hunger for spiritual awakening at least two thirds of the time. Why is this happening to me? Why did she leave me? Why did I lose my money? I just feel horrible. Yesterday, everything was fine. That hunger, just like we're hungry for food or we're thirsty, is the body, the mind, the soul. It's all one body, mind and soul. Screaming for an expanded awareness. Life as I'm living it, life as I'm seeing it, has gotten too small. And just as I grow in height or weight or maturity or my eyes change as I get older, our spiritual life changes.
