I feel that I'm in a dark room
00:00:01.40\00:00:02.77
and I just can't get out.
00:00:02.80\00:00:04.19
I see there's a
blanket of fog that's hovering
00:00:04.88\00:00:07.86
over me blocking
the clear sky and I just
00:00:07.89\00:00:11.18
cannot reach through the gloom
00:00:11.21\00:00:12.86
piercing the sky.
Well, today if that's
00:00:12.93\00:00:15.71
your feeling the
program is entitled Depression:
00:00:15.74\00:00:19.14
Unveiling the
Culprits, so stay by.
00:00:19.65\00:00:21.92

and all that so you know.
00:01:08.99\00:01:12.35
Well, you know, and
again this, now this is
00:01:13.73\00:01:16.15
going to be the
first part of a series of
00:01:16.18\00:01:18.05
programs of mental
wellness and so we're
00:01:18.08\00:01:20.99
gonna have that
next coming weeks dealing
00:01:21.02\00:01:23.52
with depression.
Today its going to be
00:01:23.55\00:01:26.05
entitled Depression
Unveiling the Culprits.
00:01:26.08\00:01:29.20
And we'll go
more into some other
00:01:29.58\00:01:31.02
components of
depression as well,
00:01:31.37\00:01:32.74
so but again
those who are depressed
00:01:32.77\00:01:34.87
they sense that
they are in a dark room,
00:01:35.34\00:01:37.98
they can't get out,
there is a blanket of
00:01:38.62\00:01:41.15
fog that's hovering over them.
00:01:41.18\00:01:42.69
That's blocking the clear sky.
00:01:43.40\00:01:44.88
They want to reach
through and pierce the
00:01:45.28\00:01:47.87
gloom but they just
can't. And so for the next
00:01:47.90\00:01:50.97
coming weeks we wanna help those
00:01:51.00\00:01:52.37
individuals who
maybe experience in
00:01:52.40\00:01:54.05
that how to snap
out of depression and
00:01:54.08\00:01:57.25
other types of
feeling of being blue as well.
00:01:57.28\00:02:00.31
Is there an actual
relationship between
00:02:00.85\00:02:03.80
the mind and the
body? Well, absolutely there
00:02:03.83\00:02:06.73
is Honey, and I
want to introduce for the
00:02:06.76\00:02:10.24
first time in this segment here.
00:02:10.27\00:02:12.57
There is one
author we mentioned this
00:02:13.02\00:02:14.39
author before Ellen G. White.
00:02:14.42\00:02:16.89
This author has
been published more than
00:02:17.55\00:02:20.46
any other author
in the United States.
00:02:20.49\00:02:22.42
According to the
library of congress in
00:02:22.76\00:02:24.73
Washington DC,
second in the world,
00:02:24.76\00:02:27.74
and this author has
written many volumes
00:02:28.37\00:02:30.06
on health and
mental wellness as well.
00:02:30.09\00:02:34.76
This author makes a
powerful statement as
00:02:35.55\00:02:38.18
far as health and
mental wellness is concerned.
00:02:38.21\00:02:40.94
Let's go to our
first graphic and let's see
00:02:41.39\00:02:42.87
what this powerful
statement is all about.
00:02:42.90\00:02:44.80
It says here, a
sick mind equals a
00:02:45.77\00:02:48.02
diseased body, here
it is "Sickness of the
00:02:48.05\00:02:51.38
mind prevails
everywhere. Nine tenths of the
00:02:51.41\00:02:57.24
diseases from which
we suffer hail their
00:02:57.27\00:03:00.23
foundation here."
And again the book
00:03:00.26\00:03:02.96
is mind, character
& personality volume 1
00:03:02.99\00:03:06.14
page 59. Now,
that's a very profound
00:03:06.47\00:03:08.74
statement and at
first glance people look
00:03:08.77\00:03:12.32
at that and read that statement
00:03:12.35\00:03:13.72
and wait a
minute. Nine tenths of
00:03:13.75\00:03:17.10
diseases have their
foundation right here.
00:03:17.13\00:03:20.72
Nine tenths, now math was not my
00:03:21.63\00:03:24.74
best subject. But
do the nine tenths
00:03:24.77\00:03:27.34
is 90 percent,
therefore it has a
00:03:27.37\00:03:30.02
great impact on our
overall health based
00:03:30.05\00:03:33.28
on the health of
our mind, nine tenths,
00:03:33.31\00:03:36.97
so therefore,
that's why this series is
00:03:37.00\00:03:39.49
going to be very
powerful and very
00:03:39.52\00:03:41.21
important for
those out there who maybe
00:03:41.24\00:03:43.42
experiencing
sickness in the mind, mental
00:03:43.45\00:03:46.59
health, depression
etc. Well, I just finished
00:03:46.62\00:03:50.45
reading a book, as a
matter of fact it's been
00:03:50.48\00:03:52.38
a little while back
a real dear friend of
00:03:52.41\00:03:54.30
mine Dawn
that's living in Texas.
00:03:54.33\00:03:56.65
Okay, that's true.
She sent this book to
00:03:56.68\00:03:58.44
me, alright, and it
was entitled "Telling
00:03:58.47\00:04:00.89
yourself the truth,"
okay, and I am telling
00:04:00.92\00:04:03.01
you Curtis, it is
absolutely fantastic.
00:04:03.04\00:04:05.46
Okay, she did it
with a Bible study group
00:04:05.49\00:04:07.50
and they were working through it
00:04:07.53\00:04:08.97
and she sent me a copy of it and
00:04:09.00\00:04:10.37
she send me workbook as well.
00:04:10.40\00:04:11.77
Somebody by the name of William
00:04:11.80\00:04:13.17
Backus, Marie
Chaplain. Okay. And there are
00:04:13.20\00:04:15.69
some statements in
this book that were
00:04:15.72\00:04:17.23
totally profound,
alright. Some reasons as to
00:04:17.26\00:04:21.29
why a person would
get depressed or go
00:04:21.72\00:04:24.14
into depression,
right. Okay. And one of the
00:04:24.17\00:04:27.75
things it was in here
was the fact that some
00:04:27.78\00:04:29.53
of things it was
mentioning was a fact
00:04:29.56\00:04:31.60
of something or someone special
00:04:31.63\00:04:34.14
or dear to you
actually dies. Okay.
00:04:34.37\00:04:37.01
It talked about
finance and talked about
00:04:37.04\00:04:39.24
the loss of money, or
not having enough money.
00:04:39.85\00:04:42.66
It talked about
physical illness which
00:04:43.09\00:04:45.40
is another thing
they can start depression.
00:04:45.43\00:04:47.15
Okay, it talked
about the aging factor.
00:04:47.18\00:04:49.72
It talked about
accidents that can
00:04:50.68\00:04:52.39
cause this and
stroke and then loss
00:04:52.42\00:04:54.91
of physical
strength, we know that
00:04:54.94\00:04:56.69
can be a heavy one. Okay.
00:04:56.72\00:04:58.12
Separation and divorce, alright,
00:04:58.47\00:05:00.33
another one and
then how about a fear and
00:05:00.36\00:05:03.52
rejection and also
low self esteem and that
00:05:03.55\00:05:07.43
was just to name of
few and the book went
00:05:07.46\00:05:09.73
on to make a
statement, it says that
00:05:09.76\00:05:11.40
any of these events
can be an opportunity
00:05:11.57\00:05:15.21
for the devil to
slip a few suggestion into
00:05:15.62\00:05:19.36
the person's self
talk. Now self talk is what
00:05:19.39\00:05:23.26
we actually say
to ourselves and what
00:05:23.29\00:05:25.27
we believe to be
true and often times that
00:05:25.30\00:05:28.41
self talk can
really get us into trouble.
00:05:28.44\00:05:30.64
Okay. You know,
as far as I may say
00:05:30.67\00:05:32.04
trouble, I mean
get us into a state of
00:05:32.07\00:05:34.00
depression and on
top of that as I name the
00:05:34.03\00:05:36.46
list how about if
you had any combination
00:05:36.49\00:05:39.30
let's say you have
a death and you have a
00:05:39.33\00:05:41.84
accident, so
just compound, and you
00:05:41.87\00:05:43.27
have no money,
situation. Well, you know,
00:05:43.30\00:05:44.67
you're well on
your way and so the
00:05:44.70\00:05:46.13
statement you've
made as we open the
00:05:46.16\00:05:47.53
program up, it so
appropriate, right,
00:05:47.56\00:05:49.09
right, so appropriate.
Let me I want to now
00:05:49.12\00:05:51.78
that you mentioned that Honey,
00:05:51.81\00:05:53.18
you mentioned I think
finance and there is a
00:05:53.21\00:05:55.78
lot of statements
from the same author the
00:05:55.81\00:05:58.29
book "Mind,
character, and personality" and
00:05:58.32\00:06:01.47
I kind of glance
through that, this is a
00:06:01.50\00:06:03.11
chapter just on
depression, yeah.
00:06:03.28\00:06:05.99
There is other
chapters too that's
00:06:06.02\00:06:07.39
related to that and
I found several things
00:06:07.42\00:06:09.75
that she has mentioned, some of
00:06:09.78\00:06:12.21
things that deals
with depression, some of
00:06:12.24\00:06:14.82
the culprits.
You would not find in
00:06:14.85\00:06:17.86
a text book. You
would not find on the
00:06:17.89\00:06:20.39
national mental
health association website
00:06:20.42\00:06:22.89
etc, good information
there, but this author
00:06:23.09\00:06:26.57
gives us more
insight as far as some of the
00:06:27.26\00:06:29.24
causes or
culprits of depression.
00:06:29.27\00:06:31.13
And I have the book
here with me, I'm just
00:06:31.66\00:06:33.39
gonna read something
here in relationship to,
00:06:33.42\00:06:36.10
you mentioned about
finance, honey, yes,
00:06:36.13\00:06:38.27
so this is what
this author says about
00:06:38.30\00:06:40.58
finance now that
you've mentioned it
00:06:40.61\00:06:41.98
because again lot
of people sink into
00:06:42.01\00:06:44.64
depression for lack
of funds or finance,
00:06:44.67\00:06:48.07
alright, so this is
what this author says,
00:06:48.10\00:06:50.47
it is very profound
"At times I am called
00:06:50.50\00:06:55.64
to pass through
financial perplexities
00:06:55.67\00:06:58.75
but I do not worry about money.
00:06:59.61\00:07:03.30
God takes care of my
affairs, I do all that
00:07:04.37\00:07:08.24
I can, and when the
Lord sees that it is
00:07:08.40\00:07:12.15
best for me to have
money, He sends it to
00:07:12.18\00:07:15.94
me, alright, mind, character and
00:07:15.97\00:07:18.26
personality book
1, page 493, and again
00:07:18.47\00:07:21.83
so therefore
dealing with one of the
00:07:21.86\00:07:23.69
culprits of how a
person can sink into
00:07:23.72\00:07:26.48
depression,
finance, and lack of money,
00:07:26.51\00:07:29.86
and I think it ties in
with, having faith that
00:07:30.14\00:07:33.85
if God can take
care of the sparrows,
00:07:34.25\00:07:36.39
he can take care
of the animals, and
00:07:36.72\00:07:38.46
the kingdom, the
animal kingdom and we're
00:07:38.92\00:07:41.68
more valuable
than animal kingdom
00:07:41.71\00:07:43.47
at least I think we should be.
00:07:43.92\00:07:45.37
So therefore,
God lay down his life
00:07:45.81\00:07:48.62
for us in
ransom. He is concerned
00:07:48.85\00:07:51.70
about our needs. He is
concerned about our wants.
00:07:51.73\00:07:55.74
He's concerned
about our desires.
00:07:55.77\00:07:58.03
He knows what we
need. He just wants us to
00:07:58.06\00:08:00.33
ask him in faith, but
the thing that He says
00:08:00.36\00:08:03.65
is I do all that I
can. So we have a sense of
00:08:03.68\00:08:07.20
responsibility
sometimes we may not do all that
00:08:07.23\00:08:09.81
we can or may misappropriate the
00:08:09.84\00:08:13.85
funds that God has
allowed us to receive.
00:08:13.88\00:08:16.10
So therefore, I
have faith that God will
00:08:16.34\00:08:19.12
take care of us
and when He sees that
00:08:19.15\00:08:21.46
I need money. He sends it to me.
00:08:21.49\00:08:23.33
Well, we know that's totally
00:08:23.57\00:08:25.53
a wonderful statement.
00:08:25.91\00:08:27.28
And a true
statement. Yeah, that's true.
00:08:27.31\00:08:28.68
A true statement.
And some others to
00:08:28.71\00:08:30.08
that I'm gonna
save for the end of the
00:08:30.11\00:08:31.59
program that we will
be definite eye opener
00:08:31.62\00:08:34.85
wow, as far as that's concerned.
00:08:34.88\00:08:36.25
Well, I guess the
question that I would
00:08:36.67\00:08:38.04
have then and
probably the audience
00:08:38.07\00:08:39.44
as well and that is
Curtis, what exactly is
00:08:39.47\00:08:42.82
depression, and who's at risk?
00:08:42.85\00:08:45.64
Well, now
depression is defined as a
00:08:46.78\00:08:49.04
persistent
sadness, alright, now it's
00:08:49.07\00:08:53.01
different from
being blue having a blue
00:08:53.04\00:08:55.46
day, alright, there
is different types of
00:08:55.49\00:08:58.73
depression, let me just
deal with the types first.
00:08:58.76\00:09:01.02
First, we have being
blue it's not really a
00:09:01.53\00:09:04.82
depression but
just having a bad day,
00:09:05.00\00:09:06.86
but the first
major type is Dysthymia.
00:09:07.26\00:09:09.70
Dysthymia, you probably haven't
00:09:10.38\00:09:11.75
heard that term,
not one of the popular
00:09:11.78\00:09:13.54
terms you probably
hear, but it's a very
00:09:13.57\00:09:16.28
mild of case of
depression, a very
00:09:16.31\00:09:18.81
mild type of
depression, okay, now a person's
00:09:18.84\00:09:21.28
able to function,
able to go to work and
00:09:21.31\00:09:23.43
even be sociable,
but they're not really at
00:09:23.46\00:09:26.05
a 100 percent at full
steam, alright, it could
00:09:26.52\00:09:29.67
be long-term. And then you have
00:09:29.70\00:09:31.47
the second type is
clinical depression,
00:09:31.50\00:09:34.17
that can be mild
or moderate, clinical
00:09:34.46\00:09:37.20
depression where we'll go into
00:09:37.23\00:09:38.69
symptoms later on
about can't even get
00:09:38.72\00:09:41.30
out of bed and other
symptoms attached to that.
00:09:41.33\00:09:43.54
We have another type
call bipolar disorder.
00:09:43.99\00:09:47.97
Sometimes used to be
called manic depression.
00:09:48.26\00:09:50.81
And we have bi,
two, so we have two types
00:09:51.49\00:09:53.60
of almost personalities
there's another type
00:09:53.63\00:09:56.43
called Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD).
00:09:56.46\00:10:02.00
We're gonna have a
program just on that
00:10:02.82\00:10:05.11
particular type
of depression in the
00:10:05.14\00:10:06.71
coming week, so
those are different
00:10:06.74\00:10:08.22
types of
depression. Now whose at risk?
00:10:08.25\00:10:10.53
Strangely
enough, women are more at
00:10:11.50\00:10:13.34
risk than men, 2 to
4 times more than men,
00:10:13.37\00:10:17.26
okay. Sometimes
we assume that maybe
00:10:17.34\00:10:20.35
imbalance of
hormones and I think
00:10:20.87\00:10:23.42
without getting
too much in trouble,
00:10:24.41\00:10:25.78
I think women we
just, they're just wired
00:10:26.02\00:10:28.92
differently than
men, absolutely and I am
00:10:28.95\00:10:31.24
just going to
leave that alone, okay.
00:10:31.27\00:10:32.64
Alright, so they
can probably take any
00:10:32.67\00:10:34.12
more whatever sociable and
00:10:34.15\00:10:35.94
emotional that kind
of things so, in the
00:10:36.11\00:10:38.62
elderly we have
to always be mind for
00:10:38.65\00:10:40.67
elderly, one in
seven elderly over 65 years
00:10:40.70\00:10:43.81
of age is also depressed and
00:10:43.84\00:10:45.92
sometimes due to a
loss of a loved one
00:10:45.95\00:10:47.60
which you I think
you mentioned before,
00:10:47.63\00:10:49.00
death and that kind
of things, so those are
00:10:49.03\00:10:51.33
things that the some of
the types of depression.
00:10:51.36\00:10:54.27
I think let's go
to our next graphic.
00:10:54.82\00:10:56.19
Let's look at
some of the symptoms of
00:10:56.22\00:10:57.98
depression as well.
This is the Hamilton
00:10:58.01\00:11:00.03
depressive score.
Let's go to the graphic
00:11:00.49\00:11:02.84
this time. Now,
we have different
00:11:02.87\00:11:04.69
symptoms and
let's look at the first
00:11:04.72\00:11:06.48
symptom first.
Is insomnia, this a
00:11:06.51\00:11:09.19
person who's probably sleeping
00:11:09.22\00:11:10.98
later in the evening
or later in the morning
00:11:11.15\00:11:13.44
where he cannot get
out of the bed or don't
00:11:13.81\00:11:15.65
want to get out of the bed,
00:11:15.68\00:11:17.05
sometimes they can't sleep.
00:11:17.08\00:11:18.93
That's one sign of depression.
00:11:19.43\00:11:21.39
Let's go to our next
one, Interest, usually
00:11:21.42\00:11:24.53
a person who is
depressed have a loss
00:11:24.56\00:11:26.86
of interest, a loss of
activity that they used
00:11:26.89\00:11:30.46
to enjoy, alright,
that's another one.
00:11:30.49\00:11:32.74
Let's go to next
one, mood, now this can
00:11:32.77\00:11:35.19
be anxiety or
feeling sad or feeling grief
00:11:35.22\00:11:41.84
and those kind of
things, so just really
00:11:42.25\00:11:44.47
feeling bad all the
time. Okay, let's go to our
00:11:44.77\00:11:47.44
next one, anxiety,
anxiousness, irritability
00:11:47.47\00:11:53.02
again another
sign that the person
00:11:53.05\00:11:55.09
might be depressed.
Let's go to the next
00:11:55.48\00:11:57.96
one, weight, now
again this can be
00:11:57.99\00:12:00.37
weight gain 'cause
you tend to eat you
00:12:00.40\00:12:02.81
know cause just
depressed so you eat
00:12:02.84\00:12:04.83
to fill that void
or you're not eating
00:12:05.13\00:12:08.64
enough because you
are depressed so it can
00:12:08.67\00:12:11.75
be weight loss either
or. Let's go to our next
00:12:11.78\00:12:15.17
one, cognition,
now this could be again
00:12:15.20\00:12:18.20
not able to make
decisions properly,
00:12:18.48\00:12:21.13
not able to remembering names
00:12:21.90\00:12:23.82
or make an adjustment
calls so your cognition
00:12:23.85\00:12:28.66
is impaired due to depression.
00:12:28.69\00:12:30.84
Let's go to our
next one, energy, people
00:12:31.18\00:12:33.77
just simply those
who are depressed are
00:12:33.80\00:12:36.51
fatigued, tired,
just don't feel like doing
00:12:36.54\00:12:39.95
anything alright,
so a loss of energy,
00:12:39.98\00:12:42.11
and the last one is
suicide, this can be
00:12:42.89\00:12:45.33
suicide thoughts
and suicide attempts.
00:12:45.92\00:12:50.26
So this is the
hallmark of the Hamilton
00:12:50.44\00:12:53.02
Ratings Scale. This has been now
00:12:53.05\00:12:55.45
there for last I
guess 30, 40 years this is
00:12:55.48\00:12:57.98
trade mark or the
standard of depression.
00:12:58.90\00:13:00.89
Now with those symptoms in mind
00:13:00.92\00:13:03.19
usually to be
clinically depressed,
00:13:03.62\00:13:06.12
a person has to
experience at least 4
00:13:06.43\00:13:08.24
or 5 of those things
for at least two weeks,
00:13:08.27\00:13:12.47
alright, okay,
therefore, person said
00:13:13.18\00:13:15.01
to be clinically
depressed. Now you want to rule
00:13:15.04\00:13:17.70
out of course
blood lab works as far as
00:13:17.73\00:13:21.33
maybe you have a
low thyroid functioning
00:13:21.36\00:13:24.06
or maybe low in
B12, B6, because that can
00:13:24.41\00:13:27.13
also have signs of
depression as well.
00:13:27.16\00:13:29.66
So in balancing
all the way round.
00:13:29.90\00:13:31.65
Yes, exactly.
From mood swings to all
00:13:31.85\00:13:33.92
the way to, wow!
That's kind of heavy...
00:13:33.95\00:13:36.83
Now you've mentioned your
00:13:36.86\00:13:38.23
book about go ahead honey.
00:13:38.26\00:13:39.63
No, I was just
thinking then really
00:13:39.66\00:13:41.03
and truly all the
things I was mentioning
00:13:41.06\00:13:42.54
earlier as to culprits or
reasons is right on target.
00:13:42.57\00:13:46.38
Yes, exactly. And you know,
00:13:46.41\00:13:48.50
I guess you then
kind of have to be able to
00:13:48.53\00:13:50.51
still enough or
have someone around and
00:13:51.15\00:13:53.10
might even ask
the question, you know
00:13:53.13\00:13:54.59
are you okay or you
seem to be different,
00:13:54.62\00:13:57.30
you're not like
you were before because
00:13:57.33\00:13:59.86
you might even know
you are actually depressed.
00:13:59.89\00:14:01.70
Yeah, I think this
is what a caregiver or a
00:14:01.73\00:14:03.53
loved one comes into
play. See folks and we're
00:14:03.56\00:14:06.59
going to go into
this more through,
00:14:06.62\00:14:08.04
authoritatively in the
next coming weeks, sure.
00:14:09.02\00:14:11.46
About the person who
may see the loved one
00:14:11.49\00:14:13.86
having so many symptoms.
You need to be careful,
00:14:14.14\00:14:17.17
you need to urge
them gently to do
00:14:17.20\00:14:19.50
something as far as
activity is concerned
00:14:19.53\00:14:21.67
and if a person
is really clinically
00:14:22.32\00:14:23.69
depressed, they
really cannot pull
00:14:23.72\00:14:25.28
themselves up
because dealing with
00:14:25.31\00:14:27.06
the mental imbalance as well.
00:14:27.09\00:14:28.65
We will get more
to that later on.
00:14:28.68\00:14:30.14
But you miss
about some things about
00:14:30.43\00:14:31.80
why people getting
depressed and we're
00:14:31.83\00:14:33.59
looking at some
culprits and so this is
00:14:33.62\00:14:36.45
a book called
"The Mind, character,
00:14:36.48\00:14:37.87
and personality" we
read this book before.
00:14:37.90\00:14:40.53
Some of the
statements and I want
00:14:40.56\00:14:42.47
to list just a few
of these as time will
00:14:42.50\00:14:44.96
allow us as far as some of the
00:14:44.99\00:14:46.84
culprits of
depression. Now, again, like
00:14:46.87\00:14:49.03
you said before.
This is gonna be an
00:14:49.06\00:14:51.44
eye opened for most people.
00:14:51.47\00:14:52.84
You probably will
never thing about this
00:14:53.57\00:14:55.96
first cause of
depression, okay, but
00:14:56.29\00:14:59.13
here it is so folks
hold on to your seat,
00:14:59.16\00:15:01.36
we'll now find this
in a text book or the
00:15:01.63\00:15:03.60
national mental
association as well.
00:15:03.63\00:15:06.26
With a closed room, the
circulation is depressed.
00:15:07.25\00:15:14.91
The blood moves
sluggishly through the
00:15:15.91\00:15:19.53
system because it
is not purified and
00:15:19.56\00:15:23.00
vitalized by the pure,
invigorating air of heaven.
00:15:23.03\00:15:28.09
Now get this, the
mind because of that,
00:15:28.47\00:15:31.82
the mind becomes
depressed and gloomy
00:15:32.24\00:15:36.76
with the closed room.
That means that a lack
00:15:37.61\00:15:41.09
of fresh air and so
therefore, of course in
00:15:41.12\00:15:46.02
the winter time
there is more people
00:15:46.05\00:15:48.14
depressed in the
winter than in summer time.
00:15:48.17\00:15:49.75
Everything is
closed you turn heat up all
00:15:50.09\00:15:52.66
the windows are
closed so there is no
00:15:52.69\00:15:54.43
fresh air coming
in, so circulation is
00:15:54.46\00:15:57.02
depressed that
affects the mind and the mind
00:15:57.05\00:15:59.64
become depressed.
And in the morning
00:15:59.67\00:16:01.27
time you feel so
tired and sluggish and
00:16:01.30\00:16:04.13
that's one of the
culprits of depression
00:16:04.16\00:16:06.89
in Mind,
Character, and Personality,
00:16:06.92\00:16:08.29
so that's a eye
open and you probably
00:16:08.39\00:16:10.24
might not
recognize that or even think
00:16:10.59\00:16:12.62
about that well,
that's one of the causes.
00:16:12.65\00:16:14.71
We know in our program we do,
00:16:15.05\00:16:16.44
we go, we travel
one of our program is
00:16:16.47\00:16:18.61
called the seventh
spiritual stress busters.
00:16:18.64\00:16:20.49
That's true and in
that when we talk about
00:16:20.52\00:16:22.50
the importance of
air, and how important it
00:16:22.53\00:16:24.67
is and people often surprised.
00:16:24.70\00:16:26.22
Yeah, they are.
That we're all kind of
00:16:26.25\00:16:27.86
trapped up in the
house and we got the
00:16:27.89\00:16:29.45
curtains down and
heat up or the air
00:16:29.48\00:16:31.66
conditioning on and
not enough fresh air.
00:16:31.69\00:16:33.16
I am telling you
that to have those
00:16:33.61\00:16:35.33
windows open in
the evening, before you
00:16:35.36\00:16:37.75
go to bed it actually
is a the different feeling
00:16:37.78\00:16:40.02
you have in the
morning when you wake up.
00:16:40.05\00:16:41.42
You really have, and
one more thing that this
00:16:41.45\00:16:44.34
author says too,
and folks so if you're
00:16:44.37\00:16:46.73
listening and if
you have symptoms of
00:16:46.76\00:16:49.62
depression, the
symptoms we've have
00:16:49.65\00:16:51.02
mentioned or you
know someone who is
00:16:51.05\00:16:52.81
depress the
number one, one thing,
00:16:52.84\00:16:55.24
one thing you
really probably need to
00:16:55.27\00:16:57.11
really do is
have your window open
00:16:57.14\00:16:59.74
up in your
bedroom. Now make sure that
00:16:59.77\00:17:05.01
the window is not
at the head of your bed
00:17:05.46\00:17:09.32
so therefore, you
won't have a direct
00:17:09.76\00:17:11.15
draft, make sure
the window is either at
00:17:11.18\00:17:13.15
the side of your bed
or at the foot of your
00:17:13.18\00:17:15.76
bed, so this is
what you need to do.
00:17:15.79\00:17:17.57
We say this in our
seminar presentations.
00:17:17.60\00:17:20.19
If you have the
head of your bed at your
00:17:20.80\00:17:24.56
window, you need to
do one of two things,
00:17:24.59\00:17:27.36
either move your
bed or move your window,
00:17:29.04\00:17:32.82
whichever is
easier. Okay, now for me is
00:17:34.36\00:17:37.38
to move the bed, alright, true,
00:17:37.41\00:17:39.45
but to have the fresh
air coming in and just
00:17:39.48\00:17:41.52
maybe a inch or two
the fresh air coming
00:17:41.55\00:17:43.64
in while we're
sleeping increases our
00:17:43.67\00:17:46.40
circulation. The
brain does not become
00:17:46.43\00:17:48.99
depressed and gloomy
and this is one of the
00:17:49.02\00:17:52.33
overlooked culprits
and it may not be the only
00:17:52.36\00:17:55.88
culprits but one of
the culprits of depression
00:17:55.91\00:17:58.16
and we mentioned
about also finance as well.
00:17:58.33\00:18:00.85
And one more thing
well I have mentioned
00:18:01.15\00:18:02.52
as well as the clock
is ticking like also a
00:18:02.55\00:18:04.61
diseased
imagination the same author
00:18:04.64\00:18:07.91
says that as
well. We have a disease
00:18:07.94\00:18:10.33
imagination then
therefore the whole
00:18:10.36\00:18:13.20
system becomes
depressed as well,
00:18:13.23\00:18:15.11
cause of
jealousy, envy and grief,
00:18:16.34\00:18:20.19
anxiety, remorse,
discontent it depresses
00:18:20.22\00:18:24.41
the whole system the
mind is included as a
00:18:24.44\00:18:28.50
matter of fact in
the coming weeks we
00:18:28.53\00:18:29.90
have an entire
program entitled the
00:18:29.93\00:18:32.50
art of positive
thinking. Right, we will deal
00:18:32.53\00:18:35.60
with that as well. One
of the things that this
00:18:35.63\00:18:37.62
author points out too
is that and this is very
00:18:37.65\00:18:40.28
profound when the
word of God is set to
00:18:40.31\00:18:44.96
the side then she
says the mind becomes
00:18:44.99\00:18:49.25
dwarfed and
cheapened. And in place of that
00:18:49.55\00:18:54.14
we will read
material that is not inspired
00:18:54.58\00:18:58.80
is a double whammy, yeah.
00:18:59.01\00:19:01.02
Therefore again
those who are depressed or
00:19:01.05\00:19:03.86
is a mild or
moderate whatever when God's
00:19:04.75\00:19:07.28
word is set aside
again we are inviting
00:19:07.31\00:19:10.84
depression to come
into our lives and to
00:19:10.87\00:19:12.92
our minds and this
is how Satan controls us
00:19:12.95\00:19:15.59
through our mental capacity.
00:19:15.90\00:19:17.73
