I hear you. I suffered depression for a long time myself. I wasn't a Buddhist when I found my way out of it but the man who was to be my teacher gave me what I needed to find the way. As I said the approaches may be different (and I'm sure our personal experiences were different) but I can apply everything you said about "how it is" without changing a word. I have nothing else to compare it to such as previous therapies but I have heard the Dharma described as deconditioning of the mind. I expect that that is just a semantic difference from the way you put it.

Is that a koan? Do I need to be contemplating an answer? /sarcasm
(I'm glad there are other forms of Buddhism because I'm lousy at koans.)

But that was written by Sogyal Rimpoche wasn't it? A very good book.
Oops! you are correct! I happen to be currently reading "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" Translated by Francesca Fremantle and Chogyam Trungpa. Also happen to have Sogyal Rinpoche's book too. My brain is tired!

Ah, quite a diffent book. AKA "The Great Liberation upon Hearing in the Intermediate State." I haven't read that. It is actually more than a book it is a text for a practice.

Whoops, ignore the "MAMMOTH" keyword. That was an accident.
