"Some moments are infinite".... posted one of my friends on her Facebook wall. She was probably referring to her romantic life, yet such moments can arrive anywhere at anytime. You cannot bound those moments to any domain of life, since they are "infinite".
The infinity suggests that your consciousness is constantly exploring new spaces within such moments, the reason you find this whole scenario a beautiful one........ If you're such lacking such moments in your life, this may be a starting point of depression.
Since I like schematics, let me show you how your consciousness give birth to such moments......
If you're new to this blog, you can think of consciousness as a combination of your rational, ethical and aesthetic sense, objects within your surrounding as the reality and the portion of reality that is somehow related to you as your "Self"........ In subject-object terms, consciousness is the subject while the reality and self is its object. In this aspect, consciousness not only receives inherent meanings from its surroundings but it also creates meaningfulness within that context...... Depression is the lack of this meaningfulness in a given moment......... But the fault is in the generation of meanings, not their perception, otherwise a person would never "feel" depressed.
Another important point here is that consciousness thinks of self as an object, if this objective analysis is not allowed, and if self tries to bind the consciousness within subjective being, this can also result in depression...... The transcendent nature of consciousness wants to explore meanings outside the subjective nature of self.
Although the root of depression lies in lack of meanings, these meanings are not rational, rather they are ethical in their essence...... i.e. within consciousness, these meanings are not generated by my rational sense, in-fact they are the output of moral and ethical sense. Ever have the feeling that everything going on in this world is simply "wrong"..... ? and You'll always have this feeling in terms of "right" or "wrong" (moral), not in terms of "correct" or "incorrect" (rational). Therefore the most effective remedy of depression is to revive ethical and moral reasoning of consciousness...... This means that a clinical reason of depression is the subjugation of morality by human emotions, i.e. the meanings generated by your ethical sense end up creating apposite emotions within you......... there's a mismatch between generated meanings and perceived meanings.
Remember that selflessness is not the motive here. The aim is to achieve self-otherness..... i.e. the consciousness must have the ability to develop emotional interfaces with other objects the same way it reacts to emotions related to its-self ..... Otherwise, I will only feel happiness if and only if I am happy myself...... This point of standing, where I am only able to realize those emotions which are only related to my-self is the hunting ground for depression....... Within the context of diagram, this means that consciousness should perceive meanings from reality the same way it perceives those meanings from self.
One way to do this is impersonalization i.e. to find perfection in your personality by making others as your substance of existence,...... You see now, why I said that consciousness should be transcendent not subjective? The aim of consciousness is to define "you" and "me" by the same matter of existence....... The consciousness aims to have the same realistic perception of you and every other real object, as it has of my self.
Ideally one should keep exploring new meanings within his/her surroundings, rather than waiting for an object to disclose its inherent meanings....... otherwise you'll get bored of the reality. Beware of the moment when the world starts appearing static ...... its depression !
