I give this to you with caring and goodwill -- Kath Dr. Joe Vitale
Everything that surrounds you righr now in your life, including the things your're complaining about, you've attracted. Now I know at first blush that's going to be something that you hate to hear. You're going to immediately say, "I didn't attract the car accident. I didn't attract this particular client who gives me a hard time. I didn't particularly attract the debt." And I'm here to be a little bit in your face and to say, yes you did attract it. This in one of the hardest concepts to get, but once you've accepted it, it's life transforming.
Often when people hear this they recall events in history where masses of lives were lost, and they find it incomprehensible that so many people could have attracted themselves to the event. By the law of attraction, they had to be on the same frequency as the event. It doesn't necessarily mean they thought of that exact event, but the frequency of their thoughts matched the frequency of the event. If people believe they can be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and they have no control over outside circumstances, those thoughts of fear separation, and powerlessness, if persistent, can attract them to being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts.
I hope you don't mind if I write a couple of paragraphs on something I just read today:
To love yourself fully, you must focus on a new dimension of you. You must focus on the PRESENCE inside of You. Take a moment and sit still. Focus on feeling the LIFE PRESENCE inside you. As you focus on the PRESENCE within, it will begin to reveal itself to You. It is a feeling of pure love and bliss, and it is perfection. That PRESENCE is the REAL You. As you focus on that presence, as you feel, love, and praise that presence, you will love yourself fully, quite possibly for the first time in your life.
Any time you look at yourself with critical eyes, switch your focus immediately to the PRESENCE within, and its perfection will reveal itself to You. As you do this, all imperfections that have manifested in your life will dissolve, because imperfections cannot exist in the light of this presence. Whether you want to regain perfect eyesight,dissolve disease and restore well-being, turn poverty into abundance, reverse aging and degeneration, or eradicate any negativity, focus on and love the presence within you and perfection will manifest.
"The absolute truth is that the 'I' is perfect and complete; the real 'I' is spiritual and can therefore never be less than perfect; it can never have any lack, limitation, or disease." --Charles Haanel
All I know is that, for me, Lonliness can cause 'me' depression. And, for me, as well -- so can alchohol. I don't drink anymore. When I stopped drinking I felt much, much better.
The thoughts and feelings of lonliness have a causitive affect of depression (is my belief).
My daughter lives in Kuwait with her husband and family. My little eight year old grand daughter was able to stay with me for about eight months. I had gone over there to Kuwait to visit them and Willow came back with me. I love that little girl like she is my daughter. I showered her with love. We did all kinds of fun things together. Then, the time came for her mom to come back to the States to visit for a while and take little Willow back with her. I was very lonely and had depression. It was imperative for me to get back in with my group of friends and start up some new interests. I love to knit, so I got back into doing that as well.
I have been 'deliberately' changing my 'down' thoughts to some positive affirmations. It does change that 'frequency' from the down path to a higher enlightened pathway. This is something that really works well for me and I'm only good at finding some- thing that works for me.
There are lots of reasons for depression, though. I have a blog here - if anything on it would help you're so welcome to it.
James, I love your creativity! You make me think about things I haven't thought about, Laugh about things I can relate with you about. Your poetic way of expressing yourself is a gift. Many times you come up with ideas in a discussion that give a little different slant and offer points to ponder.

And then, as we awakenand realize there is no death
and join the Minds of others
in spirit and consciousness.
There'll be no room for doubt-you see
For Love is Life eternally
Believe in Joy, Good Will and Peace
The tears of fear will Truly cease.
