Ideas like these and this bear the marks of the state from which they come.
And personally I'm not so sure that having an inflamed brain brings one closer to the truth than experiencing the feelings over thoughts (but that comes later I suppose, and I don't mean it as "the blue"). Perhaps thinking is as much a problem as not thinking?
Drugs/Meditation aren't the "evening" referred to here maybe. More so about changing of thought processes, like psychotherapy. As in a person who has this more negative world view is encouraged through CBT or other psychotherapy to change thought processes or counterproductive behaviors. Because that's really when you would "even" everything using thoughts. This sort of changing of thought processes is deemed less true by our author and therefore is problematic.
Other two things are different, particularly the second.
So you try to feel better without doing the work to alter these thought processes? "Reducing darkened forces, from a naked view?"
I'd say it's those mental impulses/feelings, those originators of behaviors/ideas within the brain that create these darkened forces (definitely not psycho-dynamic past shit though, to not confuse). They perhaps exist before the thoughts do (thoughts like these lyrics). And I guess the idea is that if you change the thoughts, the brain state follows? A bit backwards. But that's what psychotherapy says, goes both ways. Like if you feel bad and start smiling you'll begin to feel better just because you have a smile plastered on your face? Not sure. Their's is more legit of course.
Hard to say what's true when you're the only one who can interpret it for you. Has to go through you.
And like I said, maybe thought itself has to largely go away (or at least quiet down) for some people to escape "the blue." Just electricity in the brain?
After all, "thinking positive" was seemingly rejected by our author... didn't take. Can't be the only one. Seemed too much like plastered smile beauty queen idea? Not sure I'd try to reduce those darkened forces from a naked view if I were in his position though. Seems difficult.
To be sure though...
