Dark Night of the Soul

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

"This too shall pass." You can do it...all dark night long!

I'll also leave you with one of my favorite quotes by Marcus Aurelius...

"Be like the jutting rock against which waves are constantly crashing, and all around it the frothing foam of the waters then settles back down. “Oh, I am so unfortunate that this has happened to me.” Not at all, but rather “How fortunate I am that, even though this has happened to me, I continue uninjured, neither terrified by the present, nor in fear of the future.” So such a thing could happen to anyone, but not just anyone would persevere unharmed. So why is this considered bad fortune rather than good fortune? And do you think something to be wholly unfortunate for a man when it is not even a defect in his nature? And would that which is not contrary to the plan of his nature seem to you a defect in his nature? What then? You have already learned this plan; does what has happened to you prevent you from being just, great-souled, self-controlled, considerate, deliberate, honest, modest, independent, and all other such qualities which, when present, allow us to realize our true nature? For the remainder of your life, whenever anything causes pain for you, make use of this principle: “This is not unfortunate. Indeed, to bear such things nobly is good fortune.” "

Thank you. I just wish it would hurry and pass. I feel like this is all I do anymore is wait things out.

Thank you. I will check it out :)

This could help

Yup I went through this but not the legit Dark Night, if it's legitimate then you are a living buddha after, but there are cycles so I'm not discrediting your experiences. Yeah St. Germain said you feel like blaspheming God and doing anything that can relieve the pain. I felt negativity but not exactly, I can feel it from the outside when negativity is being projected to me, but this from from withing kind of like all the negativity leaving my soul, more like a void but this is the best part actually, it's when you're subconscious is being rewired.

Yep, that sounds right. I hope the negativity leaves soon. I am in the middle of dealing with a lot of issues that are an exact repeat of things in the past that I thought were cleared. Apparently they aren't. I'm trying to go about it different this time. It doesn't feel any less painful though.

Thanks :)

Yeah like I said I'm not discrediting it from you, it comes in cycles I get incredibly euphoric and megalomaniacal and then I get depressed and I can even start crying from a song or something. But then I feel like I was reborn and makes me emotionally stronger and more mature, so the same should happen to you. I don't know if you meditate but it could help you a little, you should try to shield you're aura, if you're an indigo then you wouldn't have problems with this. Also if you can try doing the microcosmic orbit meditation you should google it. It a basic movement of energy up the spine and down the front like a wheel and it should make you feel euphoric and tingly like you took a pill of ecstasy, have you tried it?

And don't do drugs, I used to vaporize marijuana but even though it doesn't have physiological effects or physical effects that are negative it drains your energy by spiking it up, like an insulin spike but instead a qi spike, and it leaves hole in your aura, you can feel them as doubts and minimal worries but they can easily grow with strength.

Be well dear Sister. Things will get better in a short time.

We all have been through much and the reward is in sight

If it is ok, I will pray for you and your cause of Love and Light**

its a sick world, treat them like shit and theyll love you.

OP if you can get yourself one of these salt lamps I feel they really help with the depletion of negative ions .

Yes, I do meditate. I have not heard of that though. I will try it. I don't do drugs either. The sleeping pills tonight, but that is extremely rare.

That's awesome. I have one similar but I just moved so I have no clue where it is right now.

You are probably experiencing a vitamin d deficiency. Try to get out into the sunlight some more.

Thank you :).

Of course, I would greatly appreciate it.

I know what you mean...sucks.

OP you mentioned being an empath on another thread, I believe. As one to another, it is very important to keep your own auric field free from build-up of foreign energetic debris, especially right now. With the heavy vibe it is easy to personalize it because it's difficult to tell where the "outer" ends and your "inner "begins sometimes. I find a hot bath with Himalayan salt (or even ordinary sea-salt will work just as well) to de-frag your energy field nightly before retiring helps lessen the unpleasant physical and psychological effects of the overload. You also might want to avoid crowded places for the next while unless you are SURE that the energies you are immersed in will be good ones. And try not to panic or think you are being punished or somehow failing some important spiritual test. Believe me you are not, although it feels just horrible at times. Like being an open radio receiver but you DO have some control over what station you tune to.

Advice humbly offered... your mileage may vary. And hang in there.

Hi Indigo -

Hope you get this and your world seems better. Its a new day, or night, and things have gone by that may help you in your hour of need. I'll send you some hugs and wishes and prayers. Hang in there, the world would be a less loving place without you.

Ghastly but true

Are you old enough for it to be peri menopause? Then again, every time I go outside I feel like this....

Thank you so so much.

Thank you :). I'm still feeling the same, still haven't eaten or slept since Thursday night. I'm trying my best to just keep positive thoughts, but it feels impossible. It feels like I am in a constant state of panic, unable to breathe.

I don't know? I am 36. I usually feel pretty crappy in crowded places, but not to this extent.

You obviously need a hot beef injection! PM me for service!

Lots of lovely replies here.....(well except for Mr. Beef Injection)...sweet, in general...
Stuff comes back. It just does. Believe me I have walked the spiral paths and been exhausted. Don't project forwards and tire yourself with fearing present circumstances will last. Put one foot in front of the other, and continue as best you can with love and light in your heart. Happy Christmas All.

i stand for Truth doesn't matter how uncomfortable it may be.

Forget all those 'lilies' and 'roses' and comforting words.

You are nowhere near the dark night of the soul, for if you were truly in the pits of hell you wouldn't be able to write anything here. I tell you, not a single thought would come out of your stagnant mind. Not a single word would reach to stroke your soul. You are alone in the depths of dense darkness. It is causal state in the form of a seed, not yet a dream and not yet alive. You cannot do anything there for 'you' do not exist as a mental entity here. And it is not in your hands to go through it, did you forget? surrendering to Him is the way. Why do you go to others for patting your soul? why do you seek anything but Him alone? Have you lost faith just by little disturbance? Stand strong and shine away all the rubbish from surface. And let something bigger to take you away, from depths of your being to realize your way... Not many nights will it take for you to be born anew and realize what is it truly you call 'I'.
Then you will say:
I am infinite, imperishable, Self-luminous, Self-existent, I am without beginning nor end, I am birthless, deathless, without change or decay. I permeate and interpenetrate all things. In the myriad universes of thought and creation I Alone Am. Death cannot touch me, cravings cannot torture me, sins do not stain me, I am free from all desire and suffering. I remain forever as infinite light of consciousness and grace.
I am, I am.
That which looks through your eyes, hears these words being read. I am That. In Your Heart as You.

Thank you. Trying my best :)
