Depression is the condition of feeling sad or melancholy. Unless depression is clinical or “chemical” we believe it to be a result of ego-unconsciousness or lack of “presence.” It is the failure to experience reality by choosing reaction instead of response. It would be the emotion side of the Feeling and Emotion dichotomy that we have posited. The “Dark night of the soul” would be a religious way of expressing the experience of depression. Anyone in P-B would have ample reason to be depressed and yet ironically depression flows from the acceptance of a narrative that is an illusion.
