Depressed and Suicidal? Do the Silent Prayer

Hey, welcome to this post.

Firstly, you are going to be alright. Your feelings and situations are going to get lighter soon, and I empathize!

I bring you here to direct you to some truth that you perhaps do not know. Let’s call this truth a tool for now (for lack of a better word). It has been helpful to many people.

Perhaps, let me first state that I’ve never been suicidal. I’ve been anxious, depressively so. I wrote a book about it called The Anxious Entrepreneur: Anxiety Defeats Creativity. Creativity Defeats Anxiety.

Now, this tool (for lack of a better word) has been massively helpful to me in learning to stop my haunting and depressive thoughts.

Aside from this article, here is a directory to get professional help for depression and suicide.

However, it won’t hurt to try out this tool.

Note: I have nothing to do with it.

It’s called “The Silent Prayer.”

I will give you my motivation as to why you should check out and practice the silent prayer.

We Are Not Our Thoughts:

I discovered the Silent Prayer by Jesse Lee Peterson earlier this year. I tried it, and I’ve not been the same, in the best of many ways. I discovered I am not my thoughts.

The Silent Prayer is a chapter I wish I could have added to The Anxious Entrepreneur. Indeed, anxiety (depression) and productivity (creativity) do not reside in the same place.

The Silent Prayer is something we all need, a meditation in principle. You close your eyes, stand still, and think of nothing. Of course, it’s hard to think of nothing. That’s the cause of our problems. We always think and want to think. It’s both our fault and not our fault.

The identity you wear wherein you think you are responsible for your thoughts will die soon.

In watching your thoughts, you will realize within a minute that you can have 10 thoughts of varying issues that are impractical and unrelated. This realization will bring you to another realization that it’s madness and impractical to process so many thoughts and call them you.

We can never do anything that matches our thoughts in number and variety. You will start to disassociate with your thoughts logically. Your thoughts will become a pain that moves away from you and thus hurt you less and less.

All the thoughts you have about harming yourself are not you. You cannot think of harming yourself and not harming yourself within seconds (the mind does that). It’s a sickness that the silence will take away.

If you think you are responsible for your thoughts, why then would you give yourself bad thoughts? I can tell you now that you are not responsible for your thoughts. You are not them. You don’t know yourself yet. You will know this amazing person you are soon enough.

Note: Jesse Lee Peterson is considered controversial, stupid, and other disparaging accusations. I tell you now he is not. You also have controversial views but you hide them. He’s brave enough to say them. I am not saying you should say yours.

Secondly, I am not recruiting you into Christianity. You can try the Silent Prayer without a religious or spiritual mind. Just sit and observe your thoughts. It will be hard and it takes days to weeks to months.

Not disassociating ourselves from our thoughts is the source of our problems, I say. But light will come to the problems and their weight will lessen.

It takes a long time. I encourage you to do it daily, as Jesse would say, “stay with it, stay with it.”

This post is not about solving your problems. The realization will be that our own imagination and thoughts are the greatest weight to what we deem our problems.

You are just fine, you will learn soon.

All questions you could have for me are answered in the Silent Prayer, I promise you.

Thank you for coming here. Please do the Silent Prayer daily.
