SUICIDE AND THE SELF


The mind is a powerful tool that controls every person’s impulses and the functionality of the physic. However, it is the Self that distinguishes and polarizes an individual’s character traits from all other personalities in life. The Self is a personal imprint, synonymous with the fingerprint, the footprint and the eye imprints, with its unique impressions from one individual to the next individual. The mental combined with the inner Self aids in developing a light or a dark personality, with of cause, a very realistic recognition that every mammal, from birth, is bestowed with an inner perpetual light, to love, nurture and restore goodness unto others and the world. So, what turns an individual to be suicidal?

A Suicidal thought is what is known as an ‘Emotional Disorder’, with a very apprehensive, devastating end – mortal death. Suicidal thoughts are initiated by a depressive state that is formed through some kind of emotional deprivation.

An emotional deprivation that was created by a shock or lack of mental/spiritual stimulation, or a hugely Self altering despondency that altered the Self from its innate light to what is known as darkness. The Self needs experience to strive; experience that develops your mind which makes you wiser and fortunate or unwise, therefore misfortunate. And those experiences are forged in a societal environment that each of us exist in – with its dark and light areas.

The Self, which is the beaconing emotive, clandestine, inborn spiritual entity in every individual is shaken by some experiences, that tip the scale of personal light into the darker mental and emotional peripheral areas of existence, which kills hope, eventually reaching the very nucleus of being, the inner light – driving an individual into an emotional paralysis, descending the inner light into a deeper dull emotionally uncontrollable abbacy. Sending the body and mind to a depressive state – an Emotional Disorder.

This occurs to individuals due to the inability to handle unwanted emotional, mental and physical social environmental impacts, such as rape, verbal abuse, alienation, and physical abuse. A supportive notion, that your environment and experiences shape your perception, thus your personality. However, to those individuals that are unhappy about their physical makeup, their self-loathing drags their physical structure to extinguish the light from the Self.

The inability to deal with your emotions, is what is referred to as ‘Emotional Blocking’. When an individual blocks out their emotions, to what is the real course of their emotional state, they go into a state of self-denial and their action, whether be it an emotional outburst or an emotional withdrawal from their environment, makes them lose their physical and their inner emotive inhibitions. Losing control of any situation makes an individual hyper sensitive, consequently pushes them to take irrational action, which in some cases is a disturbing end to the Self.

When an individual falls into a depressive state, it becomes difficult for those around them to reach out and touch the inner dying emotional flames. A psychological retrospection and introspection of an individual through counseling sessions, can help digress steps of a suicidal individual ambling towards a jagged edge, preventing a probable fall to their premature, hopeless, self-loathing death.

Your thinking affects your quality of life and when your thinking fails you, your life and your path to transcending growth fails. This applies to a suicidal situation too. When you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, darkness will consume you, destroying your inner light.

Inner strength, that emanates from the original light, the Self; is needed in championing the course to: Self-love, Self-consistency, Emotion-self-expediency and Transcending love. Humanity originates from the unending love of the light. Light, that is the conqueror of darkness, bestowed to every individual at birth. Light, that gives hope in sorrowful moments. Light that doesn’t take but,potently gives life and hope.
