Just like planets, humans come into existence with a balance of- positive and negative- energy... there about's anyway. Throughout our lives, we either give our energy away, or its taken from us. In other words, we spend it or have it stolen. In a loving relationship it's cyclic so it goes both ways. Nice one. This is not the case in many relationships though.
Now, think about how much energy you spend on work, play, personal pursuits, and those you have around you. If our energy only goes one way- out- we eventually find ourselves at a deficit. This state is called depression. It's not, or at least, not in the way its perceived today!
We end up in a dark place when we have little-to-no energy left.
Just like planets, humans can receive negative energy deposits from other sources- creating another contributing factor and causing further imbalance. Just like we can be enriched by the sharing of positive energy- maintains balance and provides the ideal setting for life to flourish.
When we lose someone close, we are in state of sorrow. This is not depression. Indeed sorrow, if not managed, can eventuate in this perceived state of depression, but in actuality, it takes a lot of energy to grieve and its all outgoing with little-to-zero coming back in.
We can of course, get depressed. Its the go-to state after receiving a bad test result, being dumped and/or abused by an ex, or dealing with whatever hard-knock life sent our way. If we look closer at the examples, a student may put all their energy into studying and keeps falling short of expectations, or someone invested all their positive energy in, and had negative energy deposited by, their last partner, again... and again... that's depleted and/or tainted energy and the resulting condition will always be an energy deficit. How much energy has been depleted will determine the degree of ones Energy Deficit Disorder (EDD).
After a series of depressed states, the depression that manifests is actually a series of energy deductions that if left unchecked, inevitably lead to a flat battery.
At some stage in our lives, life hits us with an energy audit. It was nuts, all of a sudden, to realise I had used so much- it came as a complete surprise. When the penny dropped, I slept for a few years. Kidding, I slept a lot over a few year period though- I was after all, replenishing the energy I'd spent or had taken from me over my lifetime. And like almost-everyone else, all while dealing with the decaying world around us.
It got pretty dark when humanities precarious and perilous near future came to full-light. Fortunately, this level of helplessness, despair and darkness caused by tainted and depleted energy can be overcome.
Without doubt, spending time alone and getting to know yourself better- if not for the first time- is the fastest way to build your energy up again. That's because no one is taking your energy and you're not giving it away. Your energy is all yours. You can then systematically approach your recovery, rebuild and rebirth- take it as far as you want. Understanding this is key to recharging and moving back to the light. And knowing that, is half the battle!
Starting with the sole intention of building energy and developing the right mindset overtime, it's achievable. Simply put everyone at arms length so you can focus on yourself. If you're serious, be prepared for a lengthy turn-around. It's done when it's done.
When you have regained enough energy, you can start connecting with nature- everything. If you can be still, listen, and feel, life will guide you.
You can recharge your energy from everything around you in the natural world, if you're open to it. Or moreover, tune into it.
It's taken me 5-6 years to detox, re-energise, rebuild and what in every way, feels like a rebirth. Working from the inside, out. Chipping away on my own. That's not too bad, 5 odd years to recharge the energy that I'd depleted, squandered, and had tainted over a circa 60 year period. Time well spent and quite the bargain given what I've found within.
As a lead-up to recharging, the use of fungi can have enormous benefits. They may assist in patching your mycelium base station - you - to everything around you and a universal collective awareness. The realm of 'RI', Real Intelligence. You can't see them with the naked eye, but these pathways and networks connect everything.
You can take various forms of fungi to help: rewire/upgrade your brain; strengthen and expand your neural pathways; gain greater memory recall; access higher levels of consciousness; enhance immunity; boost energy... to name a few. Notably, they have helped improve the way I think and enabled me to connect to life- everything- like never before.
Getting off coffee, not drinking alcohol, not taking synthetic drugs, and not smoking chem-ladened tobacco or vaps will expedite recovery times by a significant margin. Cutting sugar and keeping it fresh n' healthy in the food department will also help. It all helps. Little by little you start shedding the nasty, debilitating, matrix enabling layers of society, clean house, and build back. All of these things in concert can help expedite ones recovery.
You have to do the work, with no shortcuts, but it's so, so, worth it- I've never known this level of pure joy, true happiness, and abundant energy.
All of a sudden I have a greater love for, and of, all.
Getting to know myself enabled me to learn what I am a part of. We are sentient beings, so we're connected to everything, albeit at vastly-varied signal-strengths. Once you start tuning in- if not already- it will prove by far the most rewarding of any of your life's pursuits.
You can always hook-up with your posse after you've recharged. Upon your return, the pack is generally culled and you become acutely aware of your energy transactions moving forward.
Depression. Whats that?
NOTE: this is NOT medical advice, I am not a doctor or psychiatrist- thankfully. This is just my experience and notes on some the discoveries I have made by observing and participating in life.

We either give our energy away or its taken from us. The latest stats show 1 in 6 people are Narcissists. Thats a lot of energy vamps. Beware. Click here to view The Narcissism Doctor youtube video.
