Depression and mindfulness, page-71

I've sometimes thought about what the role of people who have mental disorders or illness might be.

There's two possibilities in life --

either we are just here by coincidence - and what we see and touch etc is all there is to it -- more or less

or

there's some sort of system whereby there is more to it than what we appear to experience - and possibly there's some sort of mechanism whereby we (who or whatever we is) - come to experience a life as a human on earth


is the latter possible? - well, yes of course, anything is possible - and, many believe that it is so. A great many of us have had experiences where we believe that there's certainly a LOT more to the whole story than we generally see -

so - if we do come for a human experience - I've often wondered what the design of the mission would be - to come and experience deep depression and the like

coma is a bit of a mystery -- I haven't got the foggiest for that one
