When a black "cloud" leave the mind.

[DagonVarunaMitraApolloZan]

Sorry for using my self as the example in yet an other thread from me.

The last few days i have had an experience that truly changed my way of thinking.
It feels like a black cloud has been lifted off of my mind. I see a lot more clearly now, and i dont mean just spirituality, i mean in the physical world too.
My brain seem to not be sluggish anymore. And emotions like anger, frustration and hoplesness is gone. Even my body feels more light.
I dont know yet if this is temporarly or will stay this way.

Have you has similar experience in your life, spiritually or non spiritually ?

Did it seem to coincide with certain thoughts, realization, after certain prayers, or readings, or anything you might link it to?

Salaam brother,

You would appreciate reading Surah 94 (al-Sharh) right now!

فَإِنَّ مَعَ العُسرِ يُسرًا
"Indeed with hardship comes Ease."

There is a song that speaks to your experience.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day

I will carry your advice with me, and remember it if i realize i going back to the negative in life.

Do you think drugs (legal ones, of course, I'm not talking about illegal non-prescribed medications) help people overcome the negative darkness? Just wondering. For me, I think depression and anxiety is commonplace for many. Unless, of course, maybe they're on some kind of mind trip without rational foundation, imo. Then again, for some, drinking alcohol may lift a depression, maybe putting them in a stupor. Or rage. And then it gets worse. I have a positive outlook since I believe in Jesus Christ and his sacrifice but things just aren't so hunky-dory in the world. When I travel and see beautiful scenery, or listen to beautiful music, I feel a sense of happiness, but then reality sets in when faced with "life." Oppression. Handicaps. People on drugs, stealing, can't pull their lives together. Etc. Child abuse. Marital abuse.

The black cloud started to form when i was 6-7 years old so it has been a "blockage" all my life. When i converted to Islam i must have changed my thought patterns and found happiness in a different way
I can not directly link it to one prayer, or one verse in the Qur'an, i think it has to do with the full trasformation in my life,

I have experienced moments of absolute peace, euphoria, and love--not necessarily in that order. It is good you are feeling better

I am an atheist but I have this habit of having these religious and spiritual experiences and I like them. It's like I get schooled by the universe and when it happens I feel so peaceful and sane. Is that what happens?

Personally i tried one perscription medicine a few years back, my personal experiences is that it made things worse, because i lost control of who i was at the time. So yes for some medicine can be the solution. For me, no
Today i am even careful with aspirin

I can't think of an experience of mine that matches yours.

But I warmly wish you the very best of luck.

Me too.

Yes, in my case. Can you share your experiences and tell us about them in detail? What happened in each? When do they seem to occur? What seems to occur just before or as they are building up or early signs or whatever if there are any?

Now, since some have asked about experiences, I shall give a little. I was so confused from teenage years on. I couldn't figure who or what God was, although I had some religious education. When I went to college I began to explore religion and philosophy because I was away from my family. Years of confusion went by. I was given psychotropic drugs (mood altering) drugs more and more. I was in physical and mental trouble. That is the beginning of chapter 1. I decided there was no God. I said I didn't believe in God. (Still chapter 1)

Hello conscious thoughts. Your name reminds me of something I just read about the conscious mind. That is that (evidently) only humans think much about what happens in the future. In the broad scope of things. I am not speaking of running away from danger. But of considering old age and the future of the earth, things like that if you get the drift of what I'm saying. I'll add bank accounts and the ups and downs of the stock market to that.

A thing that is about clinging to the past or worry about future is that you forget to live now in the present moment

Thank you for sharing
To me it feels like the change i am going through started when i converted to Islam, from that moment until today something i can not explain have been developing within me. Is it islam, or just more determination from me? I dont know
I just holding on and enjoying the ride so to speak

OK, reviewing some of the posts (which I find interesting), to what specific turn of thoughts do you attribute your change of mood? For instance, when you wake up in the morning, are your circumstances or thoughts different than they were before?

Thoughts have been more silenced now then before the black cloud lifted from the mind
Depressesion and worry was a daily problem for 30 years, in a few weeks of the change that happen with my being, depression and worry was gone from the mind.

If let's say the day is nice, sun is shining and it's a pleasant temperature outside, I tend to think, "Oh, that's great. So nice." And that in itself is a happifying thought. Or recognition. I generally thank God for a nice pleasant day.

So you no longer think about something that bothers you? I'm just curious because you say thoughts have been more silenced. Like what thoughts? I'm not asking you to reveal unsettling thoughts. We all have thoughts, unless of course, there's an altered state of consciousness or we're in a coma or unconscious. Of course, some people would disagree with that as if they think while they're in a medically induced coma or something like that. But I'm not talking about that, CT. For instance, things come back to my mind that bother me. Things that have happened in the past, or even more recently. At that point, I turn them over to God because I know I cannot heal them. (The circumstances.) But I'm curious about you. How do you wake up in the morning?

P.S. I'm glad you're feeling better.

I do not think of the past experience that was be earlier, and i dont worry about the future, these two was a major problem for me earlier because it controlled my life. Even the two years since i first come to RF, i went through a lot that never showed up here in my posts. Only the last 6 months or so my problem in life started to really surface online too. Mood that went from high to low in a few minutes and so on.

The last 3 weeks has been with few to no negatthoughts about my self or others. Because the realization of that every problem i faced was araising from my own being. The personality Amanaki took everything personally, and it was a major fault. Letting go of Amanaki personality made it possible to be free
