Quotes regarding anxiety and depression from Roy Masters’ books:


“You cannot get away from the enemy because when someone else is not the enemy, the enemy is you. You are forever jumping from the frying pan into the fire, because any friend or authority who sympathizes with your troubles, anyone who distracts and consoles you, turns out to be the next enemy. Bad experience adds to bad experience, and personality adds to personality inside you. Trauma builds on trauma, guilt on guilt, fear on fear, and when you see the hopelessness of it all, you fall prey to morbid depression.”
-Beyond the Known

“The first phase of our lives involves earthy motivations, but the second part should involve discovering the original Divine motivation-grace. Not being able to find this state of consciousness is the underlying cause of drug addiction, alcoholism, depression, suicide-in fact, every problem you can think of.”
-How to Conquer Suffering Without Doctors

“You must be willing to stand still and let the Divine Presence catch up with you and increase your anxiety. Hold your ground as the pain of conflict increases to a point where you surrender to the inner pressure, in much the same way you have done with outer pressures when the heat is on. Resist the temptation to run away into pleasure and confusion. The problem is that you have identified with the adversary nature that has made a home in you. Understanding all this will enable you to separate from the taint of the ego self.”

Quotes regarding anxiety and depression from Roy Masters’ books:


“You must learn to trust what is given you to realize in the moment, without becoming upset over what is revealed to you; only then will your mind make you well and whole again. Opening your mind to doubt by the tiniest chink will result in your caving in to doubt forevermore. You will end up in a state of confusion, depression, and rage.”
-Beyond the Known

“Depression overtakes you because, being all things to all people, you give your all. Everyone runs you ragged and drains the life out of your body. You feel resentment against everyone for having to prove yourself, which pressure festers into gargantuan feats of kindness and devotion toward lesser gods than you in a desperate attempt to make them acknowledge you until you can't any more. Without the approval you need to assuage anxiety, you head straight for the classic ‘nervous breakdown.’”
-How to Conquer Suffering Without Doctors

“Fear and doubt indicate the absence of faith and draw us into a pattern of anxiety. We no longer love to do what is right – become pridefully afraid of making mistakes, which is not the same thing at all. Because of our decreasing understanding and failure to overcome our emotional response, we develop the increasing ability to compensate by analyzing and rationalizing, which we call worry.”
