Having a close relationship to a severely and chronically depressive person can be a traumatic and depression causing experience all by itself. The hard conclusion of saying "something has to come from inside" for the relative of a depressive person, for example, is that it eventually may become necessary to say "I can't save you - and I won't try anymore." I guess the reasons for this and the possible consequences deserve careful meditation. And I'm not at all sure if most people would be able to go that way without assistance. It's a very complicated topic with a lot of subtle but critical nuances.

The helpless and often heartless and harmful way "society", i.e. the mainstream, the majority, whatever you want to call it, deals with this issue throws a bleak light on our still ruling materialistic paradigm. So it's not really miraculous that you can find some guidance in JMGs writings and I, too, find that he "walks the line" very carefully and effectively. Was it Fortune who said something like "occultism is (the) true psychology"?
