"Thank you Sir!
As a matter of fact, I just now finished reading a book on Ancient History between 20000 BC to 5000 BC. It was written by Steve Mithen, an archaeologist. It talked more about the history of human culture during the time from LGM (Last…"

"Very true. One another reason for this is also because of the rise and spread of Mesopotamian civilization. It represented an amalgam of different religious beliefs, which again came from different tribes of hunter-gatherers and first generation…"
"I believe, with the fall of Egyptian dynasty, partly due to famine and partly by conquest, the Egyptian pantheon of gods, got absorbed into other religions. One such example is that of the cult of 'Amun Ra', which got absorbed into Christianity by…"
"Good for you Michelle, that you're graduating in psychology. As for me, I'm a software professional, doing research on this (out of my interest).
What you said is true. One can train oneself. But won't training create a sort of veil, that which make…"

"Great point made Michelle. One thing that you had put forth (maybe unknowingly) is the role of our thought process in happiness. It is, by no means, just an emotional outflow, though it is an emotion! In your case (that of headache), you maybe…"
"Great point Chris. You've made my day. It you could take time to read my presentation on Happiness (link at the start of this thread), of which this whole discussion is based, you would agree that my perception is similar to yours. Happiness is a…"
"Well, Kay, there is an underlying truth in your above experience. That we never forget happy moments, we only fail to retrieve them often. Perhaps, happiness, realized in and around, here and there, tends to get overwritten by...well happiness…"
"One small thing Michelle. Can this person (with an overflowing positive hormones) sustain his state of happiness, or least, prolong it far enough to perceive, and, identify opportunities? I think one needs to learn this art, I daresay. But your…"
"Very true Joe. Happiness, unfortunately, remains ephemeral, at least partially. Very transient in nature. That's why sustaining happiness is more difficult (and hence requires mental strength) than finding happiness. I would surely read through your…"
"very true kay. As a matter of fact, doing it day in and day out is no small task...one needs enormous conviction in order to counsel others...keep up the good work and keep in touch...

"Thanks Kay. That's why depressive patients are asked (by psychologists) to train their minds to accept that they're in a happy state. That's when our emotional selves exhibit the behaviour we call 'Happiness'.
It is aptly supported by our body…"

"Hi Kay,
Thanks for the reply. I am sure you'd agree that Happiness do not connote just joy, and, plus, it can be ephemeral too, very transient.
To me, such a state has two attributes - emotive and cognitive. Emotional attribute acts like a symptom,…"

Hi Shriram. Welcome to the online depth community. So glad you're here. Once you have a chance to explore the site a bit, I think you'll find a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all fascinated by the field of depth psychology. Our members come from many walks of life--artists, writers, doctors, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--but there is much knowledge and experience here to be shared.
On that note, I hope you're finding opportunities to engage as you browse the vast content and begin to interact with others. You may want to consider joining the new online book club if you haven’t already—it’s just begun (with a new author each month!)—and you can participate at whatever level you wish.
Meanwhile, in case you need detailed help getting started, personalizing your profile photo, and navigating the site, please use the following link-- http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/page/navigating-the-site --and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions at all! I look forward to seeing you around the community~Bonnie Bright, Founder
Welcome Shriram,
Enjoyed your blog, especially the phrase "waiting for some soul to stroll." Great images jumped to mind as I read that. Glad you found and joined the Alliance. There are several writers of various styles within the Alliance so I hope you will cross verses with them at some point. Many topics are approached in the blogs, forums, and groups. I look forward to your posts.
Ed
