[quote:Mia41:MV8yMDkyMDEyXzM1MjQ3MDU3XzJDQjIyQUQ5] [quote:Septenary Man:MV8yMDkyMDEyXzM1MjQ2ODUwXzQ3OTg5QTc=] http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1988498/pg1 [quote:Swinging on Spirals:MV8xOTg4NDk4X0RGMEU4MkI3] The entire world, as a collective conscious, has been going through our own [b][i]Dark Night of the Soul.[/i][/b] St. John of the Cross describes this episode of the human condition in his writings of the same name. The Dark Night of the Soul is when the soul goes through [i]extreme hardship[/i] [b]without the comfort[/b] of God or Jesus standing near, guiding the soul, giving the soul - and its constitute human body - faith in the spirit. I am not of any denomination of religion, but I am very spiritual. So this is not about the various religious sects. This is about [b][i]spirituality [/i][/b]and nothing more. During our possibly greatest need as a collectively intelligent, spiritual race of beings, we have been cut off from the Source. For those finding their way back, it has been a truly miraculous life now being lived. [i]I know who you are... [/i]you are the ones experiencing the impossible. No one believes your experiences, because the only way to believe them is to experience them personally. You are the torch bearer in the darkness. The spark of light in a massive Dark Night of the Soul. You found your way back to spirit through immense adversary... and your experiences, beyond the realm of the physical are, paradoxically, your grounding to this life's existence and purpose. The changes are coming, because you are experiencing them happen in your own tabernacle. And the experiences are not relenting, but rather growing greater and more extreme. So take time out and imagine the ones not consciously experiencing the change. Have faith that they will have the strength to spiritually survive the coming end of this Dark Night. As you know, experiencing the impossible can easily shatter the mind... and you have taken steps in the process. They will be denied the progressive steps of learning that you have had. Have faith. Humility. Personally you understand the difficulties soon to be faced. So rise above the tumult and reach down with a helping hand. The Dark Night of the Soul is ending, and you must be ready.

Original Message
I thought I experienced this a few years ago, but it seems I am now...or something. Anyone else experiencing this? Feels like everything is falling apart around me no matter how positive I am. The negativity and hate coming from everywhere is pretty overwhelming. I thought what you put out is what you get back, but it is certainly the opposite my way. I thought that if you have love, and send love out, all will be well. Obviously, there will always be normal everyday shit going on. But this is ridiculous. It feels like torture.
