When we're dealing with depression or any emotional pain, we normally think of our waking state of consciousness as a single state of mind. If we're awake all day, as most of us are, we tend to think of this as one single experience -- one state of consciousness. Although we can have many moods and emotions, still we think of it all as only one conscious, waking state. But the ancient, prehistoric, people who invented the Sanskrit language, had a far different idea. They devised a very scientific formula, describing how the mind works. The Sanskrit Language splits-up our normal waking state into three separate and distinct states of mind.

The Sanskrit Language splits-up our normal waking state into three separate and distinct states of mind.
The Sanskrit names are: 1. Rajas -- 2. Sattva -- 3. and Tomas.
The English translation would be: 1. Passion -- 2. Goodness -- 3. and Ignorance
Accordingly, all emotional pain comes from the states of mind called Rajas and Tomas. Sattva is a pro-active state of mind where emotional pain not exist. And we enter each of these separate and distinct states of mind because of what we're thinking. Very simply, thinking thoughts of greed and anger produces Rajas. Thinking thoughts of fear and depression produce Tomas. Then while in Rajas, for example, if our desires are thwarted, the emotional pain from anger or greed results. And while in the state of Tomas, if our state of well being or self esteem are threatened, the emotional pain of fear and depression result.This simple, scientific truth, know from prehistoric times, can lead us to a simple method of dealing with depression and all emotional pain immediately. But in the beginning these three (3) sates of consciousness don't seem too important. We will discover, however, as a scientific fact from the laboratory of our own life, all emotional pain can be pacified very quickly by forcing the mind into the middle path, Sattva. This knowledge is essential. It meant the difference for me, of ending my emotional pain immediately or prolonging this pain and suffering for a long time: that is, many months, years, or even a lifetime. In order to make the first and really profound point about this scientific psychology, we will get away from the subject briefly. Instead we will discuss the relationship between ancient Sanskrit and ancient Greek. Although this seems totally unrelated to dealing with depression, it's really profound. Many scholars believe that ancient Sanskrit is the oldest of all languages. That it's actually the Parent or Grandparent of all modern
