The White Room

Mom, Mom I am here.  Please give me Love.  I need you to answer me with a feeling.  Mom Mom...Please Mom, I am here I need you.  I am afraid Mom.....  No answer.  Mom is too afraid.  She lost her family in the Holocaust and lives in guilt beyond words.  Why did she stay alive?  The baby in her finally gave up and was born in fear.

The Forty years old man was tired of life.  Another wave of depression descended.  Oh no.  Two more weeks of darkness and despair and quick thoughts flooding the mind.  It felt like being locked in a cage.  In a room without windows and the walls were slowly closing.  The man visited a friend.  He lied down on the sofa.  No words were spoken.  There was love.  Just pure feeling of love a safety in the room.  Suddenly the man was transported to a pre-natal position inside his mom.  It was so pleasant and warm and cozy and comfortable.  It was a white room with soft walls like a fluffy white rug.  And an aquarium of the purest water in the corner.  Just water, no fish.

And then, on the left side of that room he saw a cave and inside the cave there was the monster.  The scariest ugliest creature that the mind could have ever imagined.  When the child/man saw that monster he became the happiest man on earth and started singing praises to God.  The fear dissolved.  The black bird with the broken wings flew again. The depression was transformed.  It was not imagination.  It was real experience.  The Fear was ransformed into life force.  The man was born to life.
