Hello Ladies and Gents....
Just wanted to say some things about this "dark night of the Soul" and the process of Awakening to the darkness around you, can often feel like the same thing, but they are not.
*note: darkness in this post is referring to negativity. Though "darkness" in itself is not evil or negative, for example like the beautiful nighttime which is a contrast to the daytime.
If you look into the dark night of the soul, it is a very dark place where it seems that no sense of light or wisdom can come through. It can be catalyzed by various things in one life, from events, to traumas, to learning of some of the realities here on Earth like pedophilia and rape, and it feels like it will never end. It can and often goes on for many months and years. It is a difficult phase for many, nay, it is a terribly hard phase, lets be real. It feels like there is no consolation or relief for all the deep feelings you are having. It can feel like the big "nothing" or "void" from which there is no return.
It is true that once you go through this dark night that you will be different, you will emerge with deeper senses and awareness. You can become more conservative, or quiet, or reclusive, or more loving....but you will be different. Some go into a depression because they believe that dark place was their state and there is no hope, no purpose to it, and they go into the mind where that darkness is, into desolation, isolation and may turn to meds and cynicism. The mind holds no Light. Only the Heart and the Soul/Spirit.
But if you search deep into your heart and soul, spirit and mind you will discover that you, are not the darkness, it is a place you fell into. Within the dark night you must ever keep searching within, to your inner universe, which is inverted in this 3D plane. Seek out your own Light in the right places within.
The dark night is part of the ''falling'' of ensouled beings on Earth. This place you fell into is a space where you learn of all the things you are not. It is not you. You must know this and have deep faith in this. It is this faith and conviction in this knowing that will build a bridge to your exit. And it is a conviction of claiming your own divine spark that will bring forthe vitalizing energies back into your spirit, energies of love, joy, vision, optimism and simple lightness of being.
Knowing your Self grows the Light. Nurturing this Light brings Vitality. Vitality brings strength.
Awakening to the darkness around you can feel like you are back into the dark night, but it is not, and you should realize that you are a light inside the darkness of what is around you and that the dark is not you. Find a way to hold onto your Light whilst seeing around you, Find your heart and take refuge there. Find those joys that you had and nurture them. Find your heart and all your innocent childhood dreams and reclaim them. Give renaissance to them, for that is who you are. Those are your truths. You must live this in spite of what is all around you. You must give credence to who and what you are as a spark of the divine. Though you stand alone, you must use your own heart as your lighthouse, your guiding light and look no where else.
Often I feel I am falling back into the dark night, or a depression, when I am simply feeling empathically all of what is around me. How the negativity looms and grows, how much is fake, how much is corrupted, hijacked, evil.
Though it is true that awakening to the darkness around you can catapult you into a dark night phase, it is not true that a dark night phase is the same as realizing how dark things are around you.
When you are in the realization, everything feels dark, heavy, non consolable, but when you turn inwards you still have the feeling inside of you that you are a spark, though dimmed by the densities surrounding you.
In a dark night, you don't even feel your light, you wonder where it went.
Just be careful, not to self impose a dark night upon yourself, when you are, as long as you breathe on this Earth, in ever awakening stages of what is surrounding you. Keep strong in your own light.
YOU ARE THE LIGHT.
And yes it is true that not everyone is, (10 long {shocking} years of intense investigation, research, reading, testing and probing, gnosis, and simple observation) I am writing this for those who are. The Light suffers the most and most deeply. I am writing this for those who easily slip down the slippery slope of WTF, and wind up in ''dark phases". You cannot come to realizations of the darkness (negativity) around you without feeling it, if you are a real human that is. So be careful. You can prevent the darkness from consuming you. It will try. But dont let it.
