− | JarEl: When we [[reflect]] where [[Urantia]] has come from in [[isolation]] and [[darkness]], the least in [[the system]]. Now much [[attention]], much help is being showered upon this planet of [[Birth of Jesus|Michael's, nativity]]. All the celestials are eager to [[participate]] in [[this mission]]. So yes, indeed much excitement is prevalent among us. Much hurrying about, from here to there to address the needs of [[humanity]]. This is good. | + | JarEl: When we [[reflect]] where [[Urantia]] has come from in [[isolation]] and [[darkness]], the least in [[the system]].

− | Betty: JarEl, I have a question concerning [[mood]] elevation. My friend Debra was down the past two weeks from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Sur Big Sur] and it seems as I gather with my [[friends]] that most suffer from some sort of mild [[depression]]. Many of them are using a drug called "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prozac Prozac]". It is the topic of [[conversation]] wherever yo go. I feel that I [[isolated]] myself, and I was [[wondering]] if a mood elevator is detrimental to [[spiritual growth]]. Can you address this? | + | Betty: JarEl, I have a question concerning [[mood]] elevation.

| JarEl: Yes! This one,used the same [[drug]]. But his [[experience]] was that it did not enhance his [[spiritual growth]]. Many of your [[chemicals]] that are used to enhance [[health]], have detrimental side effects. This particular drug you call a "mood enhancer" was designed to alleviate [[depression]]. However, the state of [[depression]] is a [[normal]] [[function]] of human [[existence]]. It can however become [[extreme]]. The extremes of it are treated with several chemicals, of which this "prozac" is one.The [[natural]] state of your [[existence]] will allow momentary depression and elevation. Your [[diet]] is important to this. Your [[exercise]] and [[constitution]] are important also. [[All things]] in [[balance]] will help to put one's [[mood]] where it should be and allow you to pass from the state of depression. Each should be considered [[individually]]. You are [[personal]]. You are uniquely [[individual]]. The chemicals cannot be a blanket solution for all. You must make a [[conscious]] [[choice]] as to your need for such. Perhaps you may need this temporarily. But in the long run of your [[life]], you would be better to seek [[natural]] [[health]] and improvement of your [[physical]] and [[emotional]] being. Does this help you? | | JarEl: Yes!
