      Tom, I can't cope with this. Every time my TF senses i'm getting on my feet (and that i'm the awakened one) he knocks me right back down with piercing bullets. I'm chronically ill and alone and downtrodden. I don't see why god would love me and allow a spirit guide to mock me. i must be a bad person. i cannot surmount this illness (biome destroyed).

    I remember during my first extreme dark night of the soul, feeling like a locked suitcase packed FULL of all the sad, negative experiences I had accumulated over my entire lifetime, suddenly popping open as all of those waves of emotions flooded in to be seen, felt, and finally released! It was so intense, I felt I was dying, because I couldn't stop crying and feeling so overwhelmed with fear and other emotions! I DID make it through, after some time, and my whole life changed after releasing the huge burden I'd been carrying for so long. Why are we here? Perhaps to help each other through this process and to carry the light so others can see their way? There's no better purpose than to love, serve, and support each other through our journeys. 🥰

      What a profound experience and release - you are a such a brave and amazing soul 😇 I agree, it definitely feels like lifetimes of energy being expunged from very deep layers of the soul. And as you beautifully said, once you survive such a thing, that sense of service, love and supporting others through similar journeys becomes the meaningful thing in life.

      @@poulerikhansen7178 Thank you for commenting, as my long forgotten message popped up at just the right moment. I'm currently going through another dark night of the soul and seeing my own words of wisdom and hope is helping me see my way through the difficult time I'm currently having. My sweet son, Daniel has unexpectedly passed away and the grief and sadness this has brought into my life seems unbearable at the moment. It feels as if I'll never stop crying. I know he is in a better place, I just miss him so much! He was such a bright light in my life and it's difficult letting him go. I do find myself longing for home, my real home, and life has lost its meaning. Losing my child is the hardest trial I've ever had to face yet being reminded of my previous journey shows me I will be alright. Thank you. 🙏😇❤️‍🩹

Why do we have to go to heaven why cant we just stay here on this beautiful earth where I now know for sure I belong,I believe I'm at heavens door and the gates are opening for me,even though my eyes tell me I'm sat on my bed.i hope this makes sense to everyone because it does with me,I was born in the spring of the summer of love and my mum and my auntie used to laugh and call me a hippy,I never knew what they meant back then but I do now and I'm grateful to be one 😊❤❤❤

    Thank you for your message. It is very encouraging. If you are going through the dark night of the soul, then you were born to be an activist/mystic. You were not born to maintain the system you have always known but build one yourself. It is an ejection and liberation. System of mediocre comfort has spat you out. There is no going back to that. Ever again. I know it hurts -I'm in right now. I pray to God that it passes. Sometimes, I am really aware that is one of the best things that ever happened to me. Stay strong everyone!

      Thank you everyone who read/liked my comment. The dark night of the soul is no joke. And I am grateful for a community that can encourage us all as we may go through it.
      Quick update: still kind of in it. But I am not as lost and directionless as when I first began. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. And I know if I can just hang on, my life will change for the better.
      Main reason I am writing: isn't it nice to have a problem only God can solve? Stereotypical Christian problems arise when we do not believe we can receive anything we pray for. To literally have the faith and integrity in our relationship with God that people play about with but do not show the necessary childlike faith, love, and reverence for His authority.
      Stereotypical religious problems can be solved or even pretended to be solved by a mind that needs the validation of a contemporary conformed mutual belief.
      It can be frightening to be aware of the fact that the problem inside and around you does not give you the ability to control it. However, it gives one the most real definition of faith. And I am sure God's solution will always be better than my own.
      Stay Strong Everyone!

    I’m still going through mine. I keep going in and out of reality, feel like I’m going crazy. I had many episodes where I wanted to end it all too. In and out of hospitals. I keep resisting and trying to control everything but am practicing mindfulness. My ego won’t let go. People are sending me positive energy. I keep seeing deer everywhere. Just last night I texted someone that I don’t have the strength to endure another night but they told me others who have survived it like Carl Jung. Felt spirit guides show up and send me energy. I started printing out notes and putting them everywhere to remind myself I’m not going crazy and it’s all part of the journey. It is the most brutal thing I have ever experienced. I feel like I’m dying emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically. Some days I can barely move. Ego death is a ruthless journey.

      24/7 hell. No breaks, no sleep. It's brutal. And I don't even get why I would put myself through this. I always felt I could just choose not to go through this pain if I only gave up on my faith. Then again, why would God put me through this? There are so many ways I can think of that this could have been prevented - things totally out of my control, or even ones in my control -> why wasn't I guided to make the right choices. It's not even always that I intentionally decided to make the wrong choice. You know there is such a thing as self-sabotage, but other choices… I wasn't sure, I was scared but I still chose to have faith. So, why?

    I was very lucky that I happened to be be doing yoga and using that yoga relaxation every night to go to sleep in my 20's when I hit the 'dark night'. I was not seeking and I did not know that relaxation was meditating. After a break-up, I hit rock-bottom. Over a few weeks of various clearing events in my body and an eventual complete surrender to 'what is', I had the kundalini awakening. I became aware in the night of being very tiny and held very tightly and deep within my body. I had the voice in my head from something or someone(without words) that I was the same as everyone. Suddenly the brilliant white light expanded in my abdomen and moved up through me and out of my mouth into the night sky. I woke up feeling joy and energy. I lived that happy free-of-ego life for a year. I had no idea of what had happened (no idea off chakras) until I found Eckhart Tolle's experience years later. If I did not have the yoga relaxation, I may have become suicidal because it was so black. You must have complete surrender to kill the ego.

I am so thankful I was able to survive and get to the end of the ego death phase because the awakening is beautiful and so magical!

    My Mom had Alzheimer's for a very long time, and as she was digressing, I started going through what I believe is The Dark Night of the Soul. It has only gotten worse since she passed last month. It is the hardest thing I have ever been in my life, and I thought everything I learned through my Spiritual Awakening was gone. I have read about this Dark Night before, but when I saw this title, I was like, Oh yeah that is definitely what is happening. Thank you for doing this video, like you said all I can do right now is show up, and knowing that is ok to be enough right now, gives me hope.

There can't possibly be a sensible and logical reason for existence. Do I really need to be here? This has to be a mistake. Great spirit, get me out of here, NOW." Of course no help comes. I'm just stuck here, months away from ruin on every front of my life.

      I very much lost all meaning and it’s very scary. I have no sense of self nor sense of why am I here? Our background is probably different but it’s a very similar feeling .. absolute despair and the feeling everything is about to fall.. every structure.. like there’s just little structure or very primitive.. I hope things are better for you at least. I’m just going into it deeper now. Spending most of my days alone.. painting, listening podcasts and trying to understand.. or surrender

    My experience has shown me that there is only one Dark Night box the Soul. We are all on a spectrum of consciousness. As we become more conscious, we experience much depression on our paths. These are excruciatingly painful growth experiences that can last years - in and out of depression, grieving and personal development (emotional growth.) As we become more accepting and understanding of our life (family dysfunction) we become stronger. It's a process that requires courage and commitment. Never give up. 💙💞💖

I’ve lost everything and everyone and feel so alone and am barely hanging on. Your video has shed light on why I’m going through this but I need help and support to get through it. How do I find someone like you to guide me and encourage me? I’ve never heard this from any of the many therapists I’ve seen over the years. My biggest challenge is that I have no money to spend on therapy. I’ve lost everything and am currently homeless due to severe physical and mental illness (depression & anxiety). I am currently staying in a shelter. I’ve surrendered to my Higher Power, become extremely humble and am trying to have faith I’ll survive and hopefully thrive after my dark night of the soul. It’s very difficult doing this all alone. 😢

    • @BuddyLuv
      @BuddyLuv 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I couldn't help but notice that comments made before and after yours were either responded to or liked by Tom but yours was overlooked by him. I'm thinking that had something to do with you mentioning that you need help but have no money. I want you to know that I heard you and that you're not alone. His oversight may have made you feel even more hopeless but maybe that's part of what your Divine process was to entail. Speaking for myself and as someone who doesn't have a budget to seek help from those who profit from our desperation, just continue to explore what is readily available to you and then look within. If all this Divinity is true, then you'll find your way out through those means alone - just don't give up. What's meant for you will present itself - liberation of the soul isn't reserved for only those who can financially afford it. Consider that the experience of the dark night of the soul is not a recent event plaguing humanity, it's been around since time began (or so) ... before the advent of psychology, life coaches, social media, and courses to take. Those people got through it and so will you and so will I. Keep going.

    This is such an enlightening and soothing experience that your are providing to people. A young guy who is such a sage has a great purpose in life to spread love and light of God to others. God protects His believers while strengthening them with experiences that test them in order for them to reach a higher wavelength of understanding life and its actual purpose, which is to learn about, accept and be content in submitting to His Divine Decree by gracing and living His Gift of Life in a befitting manner by serving God and His Creation.

    This was helpful for me at this time. I realize that I’ve had many Dark Night’s of the Soul but each time I run away and let the ego take back over.
    I’m approaching this different this time and am looking at what I’m needing to learn about myself …and I think that my ego likes to hate me and keep me stuck in that so I can’t move forward and have love for all. I’m realizing they hating myself is no better than hating other people.
    True Love for ourselves is a pre-requisite for having true love for all that is and so I’m concentrating on loving myself first and then I can love others with oneness.

I'm 62 years old, I've been through this death several times in my life and I've been in it again for over a year. With all the spiritual tools I have accumulated and the spiritual path I follow, it is still unbearably difficult at times.
    Thanks.

    This is the first one of your videos I watched. Thank you for the bottom of my heart, Tim. I’m going through a really hard time and feel like I’m being crushed under the weight of it right now. It really does feel like there’s no light at the end of my tunnel but at least I have a sliver of hope now that maybe this dark fog will lift for me too. I liked and subscribed. Best wishes. You have a beautiful soul. Chris

    This is either my 2nd or 3rd time going through this experience and this year has been the toughest. I’m so tired. I feel like I am the problem in all of my relationships that have broken down over this time. Every time I think it’s coming to an end, something else kicks me in the a**. The same way you said you just crumbled. That’s exactly what happened to me today. I came home and just fell apart. I wanted to self exit. I’m so lonely. I get to this point and I start to truly think I’ve gone mad. Thinking I’m special and I’m going through a divine awakening and I start to believe im actually delusional. But then I find videos like this and the way I can relate to everything you said really makes me want to carry on. Hope. So thank you so much. You really have no idea how much you have helped me today. ❤

    Your detailed description of the dark matter of the soul is very good. I have been through several. But this conclusion that we will always come out of it is naïve. Many people don’t come out of it and take their own lives.

    Hi Tom ! I always love your topic on youtube for all you watch don't loose faith :D you're not alone ;)!
    One quote stuck in my head since I'm little is "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” by Albus Dumbledore because we always make it through even in your "Dark Age" like you said even we don't see the light at the end of the tunnel, we are all meant to be happy all of us! I'm unconditionnaly grateful at 28 years old I wanted to clean my way & healing my mistakes this is the process is to forgive yourself & others, be grateful & transform to love, LOVE YOURSELF & trust universe . Life is like a river, you need to take the flow like water :) Since I understand the "Process" My life is positive I'm attracting so much luck & love on my way even just a smile for an unknown person makes my day :D
    Thanks a lot Tom for thoses videos. Enjoy your day. Anaïs

    This made me feel better thank you for making this video. I found out my husband of 19 years has been cheating on me. He was cheating on me around the time my daughter died 2 years ago. That was my first dark night, even though I knew this was coming my higher self already told me for a few months now but it still hurts. The thing though that hurts the most is today is my birthday amd Noone but my phone remembered. That hurts so much more then being cheated on. But I am so lucky bc I've been told this was about to happen bc my husband isn't part of my destiny.

    @JustinJohnson-sg4sz 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So grateful for this video.
    Everything you’ve posted here I’ve been experiencing and I thought I was losing my mind. Body aches and have a hard time keeping my mind focused on one thing. Explosion of all of the things I had previously worked through. Nothing makes sense. Nothing has meaning. Thinking about the things I previously wanted does not create excitement. I had a dark night experience before and as long as I stayed still the answer would come eventually. Most of the time that day. This one I have no answers and it’s just a bunch of random ego experiences. All I can do is observe and let go.
    I get the sense that this is because the things I previously “desired” I have and there are new desires working their way in.
    I think the biggest challenge is when you start experiencing pieces of what was created in imagination. Followed up by a complete and rapid 180° turn to the undesired.
    I’ve heard this experience is to maintain faith and it was likened to the State of Elijah (no love). Which comes before the state of Jesus.
    Thank you

    • @JustinJohnson-sg4sz
      @JustinJohnson-sg4sz 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      And actually, new things that I must have had suppressed for some time. A lot of anger and frustration and some rage in there.
      It makes me curious why some things are quicker to resolve or release than others. I’ve heard it’s due to length of time of practice. Some things have been there since before I can remember. And don’t really have a memory of when it started. For the ones that were passed on from generation to generation, can those be released quickly I wonder.

    19:40, That is not true. There are lots of people who don't make it through the DNOTS. Many people die. If you tell people that "You'll make it through", then you tell them to ignore the aspects of the experience/process that teach them what they need to know. The Dark Night of the Soul is no joke. It will kill you. Not everyone makes it. Only those who pay attention and have the will can make it. And that is a small percentage.

It is extremely lonely. I dont understand the surrender part? How do we do that? And how do we break the ego? And the spiritual connection It's currently like my world has fallen apart and bought me down to my knees.
