@kathyspaulding5326 8 ай бұрын

Dark Night of the Soul was the most painful thing I’ve ever been through. But, it leads to a spiritual awakening. You realize your entire life was an illusion. You’re shown reality. So many synchronicities. You find your true, authentic self. Now, I feel like I don’t belong in this world because superficial things have no meaning. But, I’m much closer to God.

How long did it take for you? Can you explain why it was so painful?

@Ray-q6d4w 4 ай бұрын

@@Starstorm111I'm not the person you're asking but neither do you want to know how long it took me, even having Jesus as my friend. One thing he told me a year ago: You can't speed this up but you can slow it down. But you already know this don't you. It can easily take 10 years. But could be resolved in a year if you don't fall into pride in finding Jesus as a friend closer than a brother. Also we don't get to stay on a mountain top experience in this life. We come down to run the race and it can feel dark again after having soared effortlessly with God, but it's necessary learning humility to walk and not faint from troubles and fears, as He gives His influence of Grace to the humble.

When you’re emotionally out of control, can barely function, anxiety is through the roof and everything just feels so bad, even with the information contained in videos like this, it’s extremely difficult to have faith and believe anything positive can come from the experience :-(

Yes, If it is unbearable for you, then it can help to talk to some professional or a relative or friend who is good at listening. It can release some pressure. Also nothing lasts forever. Focus on the small positive moments and things in your surroundings. I really hope that everything will be better for you soon! Love, light and blessings to YOU!

I am going through it at age 61, with the addition of having an experience of psychosis that landed me in a lot of trouble.As of right now, the seas are calming down. The extent of the transaction can truly be unsettling. For example, a couple of days ago, I sat to pray before my sleep, but immediately, as I started, I immediately stopped. Not because I doubted God's existence but the validity of the praying ego identity. It seemed so disingenuous. Everything is being questioned! You have a beautifully honest and soothing voice, by the way. I am adding this a few days later as I don't want this to be misunderstood and stuck somewhere in the Internet for ever. I greatly value prayer, but it has to come from the deepest possible part of being. When that happens, at least in my case it soon turns into silence permeated by gratitude. I am sure that anybody going through this process can relate to being aware of their dying, unauthentic self seen by the new "me" emerging. Prayer is what saved my life and sanity.

I feel very lost and alone, and have for many years. I'm 45, and have lost and seem to be losing everything. I'm homeless, my friends are not really around - there's no connection to much of anything or anyone. I feel completely disconnected from God and have the majority of this life. Very confused, filled with uncertainty. Cannot function full time or even part time, struggling with eating - not a big appetite. Feeling very afraid - like a lost child. I've met no one who understands, so I've stopped trying to explain what is going on inside of me.

I have experienced the same feelings and I can tell you, sometimes the religious belief system has to fall away before you realize that how you are thinking and feeling is deeply rooted in an expectation that is misguided. your journey out of this dark place is sometimes to embrace the lessons that the darkness is providing and not to be so desperate for a way out. relying on embracingreality for what it is and not what you feel it should be. best of luck to you.

@shannonl9633 5 ай бұрын

@@docbarrera Thank you for such a thoughtful reply. I agree that I need to embrace what is happening rather than resisting it. I completely understand and agree with embracing reality as it is, and not the way I think it's 'supposed to be'. Please, if you will, hold me in the light / pray for me; that I will learn the lessons that this dark time is presenting me with. I would also like to understand more of what you are referring to when you say 'rooted in an expectation that is misguided'. I completely understand about the religious belief system having to fall away. And I agree that this is necessary - certainly apart of my personal spiritual journey. If you care to and are able to provide some understanding along these lines, please offer it here and I would be deeply grateful and appreciative. Again, thank you for such a thoughtful response.

@@shannonl9633 i think its great that you're searching for a way out of this dark place. many people just accept these valleys as their life. in regard to the misguided expectations, this is something we all find ourselves struggling with. the expectations of what should or should not be happening in this existence of life. these thoughts of what should or should not be happening (along with other ways of thinking) control our emotions and it becomes a vicious cycle. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Thank you for sharing that! It seems like you had some extreme experiences! After 'enlightenment,' a process of calibration, cleansing, and integration takes place, which can be very demanding at times. But the goal is a high-frequency and harmonious existence in the world.

@martinvee91111 8 ай бұрын

Tip; Your way out is, becoming aware of being aware. Why? Because the story you tell yourself is a thought constructed illusion of a history of a person what you call "you", and that you are identified with that "you". Ask yourself; Who is the "I" that is having the experience of being "I"? The answer won't be found in the intellect, but beyond it. Go there, observe it, dwell there. The way out is quicker than you may realise.

This is an abstract concept that you're presenting here. I don't say this as a criticism. I am currently reading a book by Michael Singer titled, 'the untethered soul'. In his book, he is presenting exactly what it is that you're saying. I am having to read very slowly because my mind is not very comfortable with or accustomed to thinking in the abstract. At least this is how it feels for me. I am wanting so much to understand what it is that you're saying and what it is that Michael is presenting in the book. I am slowly but surely learning to practice presence, and to be aware of what comes up in my mind and arises from my emotional world. Even though this does seem and feel to me to be abstract, I am grateful for the knowledge that is being put out there, and I pray that I will begin to understand on a deeper level - beyond the intellect - what it is that is being conveyed. If you will, please hold me in the light and pray for me. I do understand that it does not come by way of the intellect but by way of experience. I'm very cerebral, and am praying that I begin to dis-identify and detach, and to distance myself from the thoughts that come up; to stop identifying so closely with them.

Been living in my city for 14 years. I look around and I ask: why am I here ? I don’t understand. How did I end up here? Why did I came here in the first place? Everything feels unknown, unfamiliar. Friends disappearing.. endless days of loneliness. Isolation. No family. The 2 people I have… I don’t find those relationships healthy anymore. I realized the true nature of them.. and is not ok. No partner. Horrible fatigue. Fear. No idea about where to go or which is the correct direction to take. No energy at all. Sleeping a lot, exhausted. Grieving and crying a lot. Misunderstood. I hoped some friends would call and say: hey! What’s going on? How are you feeling.. what’s happening inside of you… I don’t see anyone very interested. No calls. Shallow messages but no real interest in understanding. Irritation and no interest in anything. Everything feels meaningless and deeply boring.

Not only when you are happy go lucky .. also when you need some support, some proper emotional support..

hang in there starstorm. sometimes trying to answer the question "why am I here?" keeps our tires spinning in the sand. start thinking that your inner purpose, the reason you are here is to live and be at peace. the more you tell yourself something the more you will start believing it so keep telling yourself that "my inner purpose is to be at peace." start focusing on that solitude as peaceful rather than looking at it as loneliness. once you start feeling that peace, even the smallest amount, you can work on external purpose of being a benefit to others. remember the messages of the inner voice can either build you up or tear you down. be intentional in what those messages tell you. it is a habit you need to develop. best of luck.
