I actually feel some now as I move into my new empowered body. I leave behind a dream of getting love from my parents.

Thank you for this message. I deeply resonate with it all and also the prompts just reconfirmed my spiritual depression is due to not fully showing up in my power. Still hiding, being afraid of criticism and rejection even though I have progressed a lot. One more layer to go in I guess to free myself!

Dear Xavier,

This is a synchronicity. I feel like the Divine is speaking through you to reassure me and to encourage me to keep letting go of control and trusting more and more each day. One thing I don't understand is how I can access any creativity in this state. The disconnect from any sort of inspiration or sense of a direction to move in is something that's contributing to the depression. And I have so very little energy. It's like I'm being destroyed from the inside, like the proverbial caterpillar. It's incredibly disorienting and scary. Is there an opportunity for 1:1 support with you?

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I've almost always deeply resonated with your writings. I especially love this line, "the only demons that were chasing me were the ones I had made up in my mind, and that many of them were my own light in disguise. They were chasing me so that I could collect the gift."

Thank you Xavier for sharing your wisdom. In this volatile world, increasing fear and apathy, I struggle with staying the course of my own spiritual journey. I have always embraced the pain that comes with my poor choices and learned long ago that what I resist will always persist. But lately, as I still seek purpose, I catch myself asking why? Why bother to continue to strive for connection to my higher self, while the world around me is falling apart? Part of me knows that it should not matter to me that the world is crumbling and people around me seem like zombies. After all, a better world starts within me, but the other part of me has thrown in the towel. What you have written makes complete sense to me and my creative side has pretty much dissolved within the past few years. I know the darkness all too well and have walked through it endless times, and I have disassociated from numerous individuals who were toxic to me, which was pretty much everyone. I am definitely experiencing spiritual depression.

Accurate to what I am feeling, and coincidentally related to 98% of my story as well. Full Time dad of twins now, and I want my flame back. I'll be on the lookout for the resistance class Xavier.

This describes how I've been feeling lately. I have been somewhat resistant and this made sense. Thank you!

I'm going through a spiritual depression stage right now and can totally relate to your words.I'm planning to quit my high paying job because it does not resonate with me anymore and I'm clear on my purpose and mission as a healer.. I've decided to slow down so that I can live more profoundly and create a deeper impact on this world! Thank you Xavier for always being a medium for my spirit guides to convey these msgs to me!

Last month I went to a women’s festival and drove two days to get there. I never left my tent once in four days, totally shut down like an unhoused person. Did not even change clothes! I think I needed to unplug from life for a bit…🥹

I feel like this is happening to so many people. I hope we are on the verge of a big awakening. A recent rune reading I did for myself told me to sit with this and be patient, listen.

I cried reading this. I feel so validated in what's going on right now. I knew it was okay deep down but to read this just makes it so much easier to digest.

My vision I've worked towards for years has completely changed. My new vision is so different but so aligned with what my heart feels and it literally came out of nowhere ( so I say) This new vision is calling apon everything I didn't include in the first vision so it's almost feels like a grieving aswell as fear ofcourse. My body is also recovering from sickness so I have no choice but to slow down and be with it ( blessing in disguise ofcourse) ✨️

Thankyou I loved this so much.

Wow Mr. Xavier this spoke to me. I understood every sentence and can relate. You put a term to something I’m going through. Spiritual depression. ✨ referring to it as a benevolent invitation was soothing to me just now. I’ve been back and forth with being hard on myself. One minute recognizing I have to have a ton of self compassion right now. And then the next minute I’m wondering if God is punishing me. I need to ground myself and be kinder to myself in many important areas of my life. I’ve been through the wilderness, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. I’m currently being instructed to rest and recuperate but because I’m used to being hard on myself and having multiple people being hard on me as well it was a uphill battle to trust myself and the benevolent on this divine assignment. 🤲🏾

I have been going through this form of depression for several months now and just this week I felt at my wits end. Your words spoke to my soul and calmed my restless spirit. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am so deep in this right now and your words are so helpful. I gave up a comfortable yet not spiritually fulfilling life and risked everything. We have created something beautiful for the world and it's at the precipice and I feel like it's at a standstill, I'm so energetically drained, hustling against the obstacles and keep feeling so confused and hopeless asking "what am I doing wrong? Why is this so hard when it will bring so much good to the world?" Previously when i was living selfishly and unconsciously it seemed so much easier. I have a hard time finding the sense in that. Your words come at a time when I truly need guidance and I am so grateful. I so appreciate you sharing your wisdom here freely. You are an important force in this world and I appreciate you so much. Especially today. 💙
