>>it can be very powerful and benificial to healin

I agree. In this case, this was a "philosophy" that I developed through life even before I was hit with depression. It has been my philosophy in good times and bad. When depression hit it bacame very hard to retain my "connection" with this philosophy, but it is the connection that I try hardest to reestablish because I believe what you said about how powerful it will be to my healing if I can reconnect and truly believe that again.
