I think the fuss of the medical fraternity to save people from death is the biggest part of their propaganda machine.

Here’s Carl Jung on death., with all respect, I’d recommend it.

As a ten year old child I died twice from the same incident , and returned.

The peace of death is beyond description, the return to life a shocking disappointment.
There is no shock dying, but there sure is a shock should you come back from death, it’s definitely intended by nature as a one way journey.

Jung emphasizes the human need to live on regardless as you face off to the inevitable; it seems you’re on the right path with that.

Thanks fellers. I agree with the old joke that at the end you should not arrive at the pearly gates in a limousine, beautifully attired & groomed & wish St Peter a good morning, but should arrive in a clapped out bomb on it's very last legs, in totally worn out clothes, clean but nor exactly groomed & say Hi Peter, wow that was a hell of a ride. What have you got for me?

I have no complaints. This old body has served me well. It has done well all the things I needed it to do well, & got me by on the things it wasn't so good at. Provided it gets me to that 21St birthday party, I'll have no complaints.

I feel depression is something you allow yourself to feel. I had an electrical short tripping out the safety switch on the house system the other day. It took me over 2 hours to track it down to the submersible pump on one of the grey water pump out systems. It is only 9 months old & a good brand, so I did not expect it to be at fault. Was I disappointed or depressed that I was so slow? No, just happy I can still run the place, if at a slower work rate.

I'm observing on an almost daily basis how young parents since the 80's are unwittingly bringing up their kids to fail. One not so young mother of a five year old kisses & cuddles the young bloke when he feels all insulted when someone tells him not to do something that could hurt him. He has been conditioned to feel insulted rather than warned & made aware of something that is risky or bad etc.
He can not fathom the difference between being told off & being saved from injury.
Kids are encouraged in schools to get upset when another kid beats them in sport or basic education rather than being encouraged to put more effort into understand why they're expected to learn.

Right, Indyvidual. The parents who are supposed to be teaching children about life and its trials and tribulations are not doing it anymore; they have outsourced that to young teachers, many of them childless because of 'climate change'.

I see that kids are now going to be taught aboriginal "values". I'll bet there will be no mention of domestic violence, pay back, thigh spearing stopping people from hunting in a hunter-gatherer society, sexual abuse of young girls by old men, constant fighting, often followed by canabilism, humbugging still popular today.

Great values!

In days of yore (you know, 20 or 30 years ago) some people were unhappy with themselves, their lives or their choices. When you're unhappy, the solution is largely in your hands and its primarily up to you to fix it. But that's not easy.

These days, people who used to be unhappy are now depressed. Ah, but depression is a medical issue, so the solution is no longer in your hands. Its now up to the medical community to 'fix' you. You can sit back, wallow in your depression and whine that others aren't fixing it for you.

Unhappiness became medicalised.

That, and that alone, is why depression is now so prevalent

Answer- According to Adam Curtis in Century Of The Self- Hebrew Founder Of Psycho-Analysis Sigmund Freud was influential in the rise of the depression industry in Austria and his US nephew Edward Bernays brought Freud's books and ideas to America in the 1930's. It could be said to be the start of the rise of the "psychology revolution" in western culture and Bernays also created a second "consumer culture revolution" and imported many psychologists from Austria.

Many European psychologists many of Hebrew cultural identity such as Ernest Dichter (father of the product "focus group"), Herbert Marcuse (father of the new left), Anna Freud became significant identities within the American psychological establishment. The psychology revolution seems to have been instrumental in the rise of MK Ultra projects and it's university complicity.

In a sense it could be said that The Freudian's consumerised depression. They became the psychological confessional priests of the new age. Some have said that every empire has it's priesthood.

Hasbeen- for whatever time we all have left I've enjoyed our time with you. One day at a time.

A Forum first. the Kudos Kid managed to type a whole lot of gobbledygook and NOT mention the Communists once! If you really want to be depressed just read the hundreds of inane posts about the Communists put up by the Kudos Kid. BTW Kid I notice most of your posts are late at night Australian EST, but morning time in Alabama. I thought you must be one of those "Good Ole' Boys" from the Deep South USA. Is your name "Marmaduke" by any chance.
