When someone is in a positive mind set, their opportunities and choices seem more infinite. But as one becomes depressed, low, negative, the opportunities and choice seem less - compressed perspective. The critical point of this is when one gets to such a compressed perspective, that they think there are only two options left, continue suffering in survival, or be dead. However this compressing and expanding of awareness is a rollercoaster. We all go up and down, but it depends how high that rollercoaster is, and how shallow the troughs, as to our ability to be level minded and positive most of the time.
Here is the answer I got, when I asked God about feeling low.
"The flesh has only the purpose of death and destruction. You are not of the body, you are of the spirit. This is why you are eternal, and your body ends in death and destruction. Is it not true? Do you really think it is over when the end comes? And how you think about this falsity, brings this perception to all things that come to you from spirit, which then becomes to you, as if from your mind and not spirit. Every thought that comes from spirit, then ends in death and destruction because you took the spirit it came from which is eternal, pure, true, and made it the source of your mind which is of your body. And as any thought you create, can easily perish, when a thought from spirit comes, and you thought you created it (and therefore can dismiss it), it too also perishes.
When the light is there in your perception, things can manifest so quickly to give reason to it. Thoughts that come from yourself, are not coming to you from spirit. All light comes from spirit. Anything which is dimmer comes from the flesh. The brighter light is a more ordered function and singularity. Therefore the dimmer light is in greater dysfunction or division. And what are the opposites of function and singularity? Death and destruction, otherwise known as decay. Death is a beginning-end perception. You can see why the thought of death has no function. It is its own device. The infinite loop. The place you do not find answers. But somehow can lead back to itself, that death is the answer. And neither is the perception of destruction the answer. Destruction is the perception of becoming less and less while something else becomes more and more, but is never death. Or of becoming more and more while something else becomes less and less, but is never death."
What I conclude from this is, to always listen to the higher thought, when it comes. More often than not, we have these thoughts that come out of nowhere, and we dismiss them. But we dismiss them, when we don't follow the light. And if you don't follow the light, it leads you into darkness. I think God is always there, speaking to us through the Perfect Spirit.
