    The way this man explains the dark night is spot on for me. Tack on the major symptoms of depression like disinterest, lack of energy, disconnect from inspiration etc.. the past few weeks have been the worst of it. I feel like I can’t go on sometimes. And I feel so guilty on top of it all. I have no job, spread no love, create no magic.. but I never lost hope that this will pass like everything else. And with this truth in mind I’m able to make little breakthroughs during my toughest times by just sitting with the pain. Big help. Anicca. This too shall pass

    I am just starting to slowly emerge from this phase of my life. It was the most ego-breaking, terrifying, depressing, & yet most rewarding thing that ever could happen for me. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, as cliche as it might sound. I am stronger in mind, body & spirit like never before. It's really a blessing in disguise. I hope this brings hope to anyone going through this right now.

    Dark nights of the soul is when most of the work begins. Healing trauma, discovering truths. Each person has their own way of experiencing this and dealing with it. I liken it to a sort of spiritual depression. I have been thru deep depressions before I connected with my spiritual self, and for me, the dark night of soul does not weigh on me as heavy anymore since walking with God ❤

    I have just emerged from this. It is almost impossible to find words for this experience that are relatable when someone has not been through it. They may think they grasp what the experience is like but it's not possible...in my opinion, it is a spiritual rite of passage and I do not think everyone is called to it...or if they are, it is not with equal depth or gravity. I felt so pulled down I wondered if I would ever feel the urge to pick myself back up again.

    let it happen :) everything is going to be ok, be in the present moment and express everything you feel. if you want to cry do it dont ceep it inside of you. you are not alone, you gonna feel alone but you have the univers:)and dont freak out, be calm..nothing lasts forever. and everything happend for a reason, and you know that !. YOU ARE NOT CAZY YOU ARE AWAKEN be proud ! accept your emotions and your thoghts. when i was in the dark night of the soul i was 14 and meditating for 3 months only, it was night and i was out with my friend, and suddenly i realized that nothing has meaning,i didnt knew anything anymore, my life is an illusion and everything is ment do be. i had soo many questions. i felt me head vibrating.. at the beging i wouldnt have it every night. but as the time pasts i will have it more and more often until i will have it EVERY time the sun will fall... even if i was out or in my house..i felt that everything is an illusion...i started crying for no reason and feeling anxiety and all the bad feeling didnt know why. i was just fine my emotions didnt connect with my thoghts my mind had possitive thoghts...i just was leting out everything i had inside of me, every bad feeling ..i learnd from that i allways have to express my feelings and let go and that i didnt have a mask anymore.. i had the dark night of the soul for 9 months... it was hard. is stopt when i met my boyfriend when i was with him i would have it but when the time pasts i will had it not so often. now i dont have it anymore. but i dont feel like im the same person. i just let the things happen.. i feel one with all and not separate. and i know that we have only are selfs. now im 16 and trying for my best. everything is going to be ok ! . do possitive thoghts and eat well.

    It is very wise advice, but not for somebody going through the dark night of the soul.
    If you really experience it, you do not ask „what kind of power, energy would help me get through this.“ Because you cannot imagine any such thing. You have no energy. You do not believe you can ever get to the other side of the abyss. You do not believe there IS any other side... If you read this and say: „that's not true,“ you have not yet experienced the dark night of the soul.

      Finding the courage to ask the question while in the midst of great suffering, while within the dark night of the soul, is an act of faith that there IS another side, even if you cannot see it from where you are standing. And, no, it was not easy to ask, but the answer was surprising.

    • @lidu6363

      No. If you are truly in the dark night of the soul, you never get out by coming through. You have to realize it will never end. Anything that would bring you relief would be a lie. Dark night is the truth.

    It doesn’t just have to be a spiritual awakening - my understanding is that it could be any major life-changing event, ie. divorce. Basically some experience of deep loss that changes who and what you are, including what/who you lived for and your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual self-identity.

    There is no 'secret' to getting through DKOTS.
    I would suggest deeply researching on your own - as opposed to being told what this blessing in disguise truly is.
    The point is to let it happen, know that you cannot fight it, experience it and move through it.
    Allow yourself to feel everything. It's not the same for all, yet the lesson(s) remain(s) consistent.

    No mention of God and no mention of purification from sin. This is the secular version of the dark night of the soul that is seriously lacking. Detachment happens during this process. It helps to view this process as a period of purification that happens to hinder your appetites for things that prevent union with God. The dark night brings you to a place of agreeing fully with the notion that nothing in this world satisfies and that the soul yearns for things beyond this world and that is union with God.

    Everything is ok and will be ok. I've had a few dark knight of the soul periods in my life and there was always that lingering thought of "I hate where I'm at, I shouldn't be here." But throughout time, I've realized that I am meant to be exactly where I am and that there's a realization about myself that needs to happen. Things sometimes are stuck because there's a move to be made that is yet to be seen.
    With each passing moment that we realize that everything is temporary and we are connected to each other through source, , we experience the death of who we were. Dark knight of the soul is about finding self awareness, healing and merging into what is the ultimate spirit, God or Brahman or whatever higher spirit one believes in.

    It’s a useless advice, with due respect. This process is so draining and can make you feel blank and cold, and in distress at the same time, that doing simple daily things like making breakfast, commuting to work or even waking up can feel like a burden. I am going through it and I know the amount of mental, emotional and physical pain I am in. I am hopeless, lost and clueless. I am sad all the time, nothing makes me happy..none of what I loved doing interests me..i feel disconnected from my family, friends, every human being. I feel the loneliest, the darkest and lowest in my life right now. Like I have been put into a solitary confinement. And I am coping with this alone. You can’t imagine, i feel like dying rather than going through this.

Exhaustion is always there, so are body pains. And all the other emotions. I feel I have exhausted all the fuel within me, that I used for rebuilding myself after all the problems. I am curious what is it that I am gonna get out of this at the end. I am just 31 and I feel like I have no desires and attachments and purpose in life anymore.

      Please contact me again. I know the universe has not given up on you. Every journey is different. I cant tell you that i have all the answers. You replied to me. That was something. I want to ask you; Have you allowed the universe to coone in or your guardians in to help you. They must be invited. You probably already know this. It was huge for me. When our chakras are blocked, specifically our heart we don't allow anything in. As a result from pain, trauma etc.. I meditated and prayed with nothing. I am still not through my dark night. I believe i can be. The universe leads me to things i need to get through it. Some are extremely painful. I agreed to this because i want to be free of everything that is holding me back from peace and prosperity in my life. You MUST Learn to speak positive at all times. You have no idea the impact that has on your life and moving from where you are. I get it. Please believe me!! If you knew my story you would understand it has been no fairytale!! I know about darkness. I also know about being stuck in darkness b.c. ecause i am AFRAID of everything. Im learning that it is the root of all my pain. I am learning to face it or allow it to take me because you're right!! It is no way to exist. I was led to a video that made me realize many things last night. I am not and do not try to exploit this channel by suggesting this video i have no connection to financially, personally. I only suggest it because i believe the universe led me to when i had serious thoughts of suicide. It helped me and i only suggest it to you si that it may encourage you to fight!!!! Thats my message and what i felt led to say to you You are stuck in anger now. You cant stay there and move at the same time. The video is Trevor Iesly- why do the voices inside your head hate you?
      Think of it as a bread crumb, manna from heaven, whatever resonates within you. The universe gives me enough to sustain me until i aim ready for the next stop. Blessings and encouragement from a fellow traveler!!! VC

There have been times when I said I just want my old life back.. That is not to be. I was a different person then.. As you were. I have tried to walk away from all this. I just found myself right back here. Searching for answers. Searching for truth. I am doing well. I have my moments!! If I think about my life and what the physical looks like I get anxiety ridden and very fearful. That's when I tell myself to snap out of this craziness!! Its like what are you doing?? Have you lost your mind?? Do something!!! I have to work hard to pull myself out of that thinking. I have to remind myself that I have survived and at times thrived in this last year. There is absolutely no way that could be humanly possible with my income. Not to mention state of mind at times. I believe that the universe has sustained me even when I didnt believe it possible. There is literally no other explanation. I have to believe it will continue to do so. My part is to follow the bread crumbs it leaves me. Just trust. Let go of resistance as much as possible. That's the path of least resistance to get through it. Resistance is where your pain comes from. Just say Ok. Here I am. Thank you for choosing me. I am open to your direction. It doesn't make sense universe. I am assured that I am not crazy. I am losing what no longer serves me in order to become what I was created to be. Its really nothing more than unlearning all the false ideas we have been taught. Have a blessed day. . You gave me a much appreciated gift with your response. Thank you!! Thats what this is all about. Doing for others!! I hope you find that there is where you will find the gifts of this journey. Its a strange and beautiful journey!! I would have never believed TH-cam would have been the catalyst for such a complete and total mind expanding transformation from the physical and 5 senses. Scroll theough the different suggestions that it provides for you. I always found something that was exactly what I needed at the moment. How freaking crazy does that sound?? I had a spiritual awakening watching you tube. I walked away from or let go of almost every human being on the planet. Left my husband with only minimal income to support myself. Every other thing that I may have possibly gained some type of resources from was taken from me or they rejected me. I was alone. Found out I really had no friends. I found that out the hard way. That sounds like madness!! At 52 years old Im going to take my life and turn it upside down and shake it until every thing I knew fell out and I stood there alone. That makes sense. That was a rational decision. Don't think I didn't question my own sanity many times. Nevertheless I had a knowing. I have to believe you do too. Somewhere deep inside you know that you are not crazy. As much as it may appear you are depressed you are not that either. Its resistance to becoming. It really doesn't have to be painful. We make it that way. I still do it too. Im certainly not pointing fingers. I write this for not only you but myself. Ask the universe for guidance. When it responds you will know. You will know!! I feel led to say this. If you watch Tv use social media etc. I urge you to consider turning it off. It will only cause more resistance. It instills fear separation and judgement of the rest of the planet. You cannot become by following the lead of others. This world is a beautiful bountiful place. You must choose to see it. I promise its there. I am rambling and becoming repetitive. I just want you to understand your importance and that you really are on the right path. Thank you again for reaching out. I needed that so much!! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me or anyone you feel led to reach out to. You are a blessing that I am very grateful for today. Peace to you my friend!! Vickie

      Tracy Carr well, thanks for getting back. I have gotten used to this feeling of belonging nowhere and finding everything pointless. So it’s not a shock to me anymore to feel this way. A lot has changed, It comes to me naturally that I feel like this planet is not my home. It all looks so unwanted but I am living my life without big hopes n expectations. I am trying to live in the moment and just enjoy all those pointless things, with the depression and nihilistic mindset always in the back of my mind. The pain and struggle of mere existence is more than the pain of the life struggles. You get what I mean?

    but as weeks passed,
    it feels like i am loosing myself..
    i am not who i used to be and i do not like my current self
    but, i do understand why i am this way right now
    it feels like being in a cocoon where i do not want to give nor receive energy from outside,
    like a personal spiritual lockdown,
    but i do hope and believe that at the end of this,
    a stronger, whole version of me shall emerge

    I’ve been going through this for over 4 years now. The sadness and depression I feel is unbearable at times. I feel so disconnected from life and feel empty. I’ve been praying for many years that I come out of this but I just don’t. How can wanting more love and happiness in your life be a bad thing? That’s how i started on this joinery. I prayed for more love and positivity, more peace and patience in me. I longed to Be a greater person for myself, my children, friends and just everyone I come into contact with. I don’t long for money or possessions, material things. Just to be a better person! And through doing all the practices eg.. mediation and surrendering and so on. The opposite has come. How can this be? I’m so lost and confused with this process and can’t understand why this has happened. I’ve given so much of myself in this life, supporting people and caring for them and being empathetic and compassionate towards them and this is how God/universe has repaid me 🥲
    I can never understand this cruelty. I keep hoping I will get out of this but it’s out of my control. Please god! Please heal me and everyone else going through this. We just want to serve humanity with love, positivity, kindness, compassion, peace and help others on their joinery’s too. I’m so broken inside. Why are you doing this to us? Please help us 😔

    A lot of people in the comments are saying "it's easier said than done, I feel numb" and what not. You don't realize that the way you feel right now is a result of you asking your brain bad quality questions. As the saying goes "where the attention goes, energy flows". If you keep asking your brain bad quality questions and repeat negative affirmations on and on, your brain has no choice but to focus on negative things only.

    Shortly after I posted here I actually came out of The Dark Night of the soul and I was hoping it was the last time it was really wonderful especially the first few months and then just recently I feel myself getting pulled back into it and I tried to do some of the breathing yoga and yoga exercises for fear also called yoga for third chakra also called yoga for the manipura chakra... and it is also called the solar plexus chakra.
    I wish I knew what pulls me back into it I try to stay humble I try to stay grateful but sometimes one cannot help feeling overwhelmed by basic worries about things like money if there's not enough and this can set off a whole chain of anxiety.
    I wish I knew what it is that keeps a person from ever going back into it other people they come out of it once and never have to return to the Dark Night of the Soul why is it that some of us get released from it and feel like we were sprung out of prison only to have to go back ?

    • @blythecordova1082
      @blythecordova1082 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I've come to realize the "you" that thinks is being sprung out of prison is not real and you know it so the emptiness keeps pulling you in. I just flow and be here, go where I must and find happiness that I'm falling without a parachute but it's okay because every moment is grace. There is great joy when I am here as nobody without my separation from everyone else. The self arises when it needs to in order to perform conversation. But it is noticed and dropped when it's job is done and I always come back to here as an empty awareness containing everything in experience. Here seems to brighten up over time and I feel happiness in my body when my mind knows it's one with all. The hardest part for me is keeping my mouth shut and letting everyone else die from individuality in their own way. It brings me pain that they "wait" for something to happen or someone to come. It happens here when we stay here it grows and we expand to light up the new world we come to know which is apart from the one we created for our "selves".

My only things that saved me is that i meditate for 3 years and did a few time psychedelics so i know how to let go but it is the ego who makes it hard for you it wan't to feel and think like the old times. My tips are if you have one right now, meditate and listen to your body, focus where is the tension in the body and try to breath it out. and don't try to fight it give it up.

    Why do we have to go thru this tho? My friends who live their best life never deal with this but me. Im always going thru spiritual awakenings since 2019 it’s a cycle I can’t get away from, why is my life this way why can’t I just be normal

      You need Jesus. Seek him. Tell him you're sorry for any doors you've opened for the enemy to come in. Ask him to heal you and he will. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Nobody goes to the Father except through Jesus 🙏
