Not enough discussion, explanation, or elaboration of the subject matter. Not all of us are devotees of eastern mystic gurus.

Everybody isn't like that, all whispy & airy, I don't know another way to explain her and you're right she didn't explain it. The video showed up in my suggested videos, I thought maybe she knew how to get threw this, anyway maybe I can describe it, if you want, if not watch Christina Lopes, she's very good at explaining all the stages but she's kinda hyper. I'm not putting her down just letting you know.

@@lizzettorres1111 I've read Christina Lopes' description, but she doesn't consider it to be the Dark Night of the Soul in the traditional sense. I've also read other explanations. I wanted to see how this particular person dealt with it - in my opinion, not very well. What's particularly ironic to me is that she's actually translated St. John of the Cross' poem from Spanish. Maybe I would do best to get a copy of a translation, which, admittedly, I've never done, and see for myself what it says.

@@bethmiller9774 Yea, that's a good idea. I wish somebody could tell me a faster way to get through it, I keep going back & forth from the dark night to void. I just read what you wrote again. Right, Christina teaches you about the stages after you have a spiritual awakening. The traditional one is religious, I think, I don't know about it but she was right, I'm going through it and when I had my awakening I didn't even know what an awakening was.

@@lizzettorres1111 From what I understand, "The only way out is through." Andrew Harvey also has some interesting things to say about it.

@@bethmiller9774 Yea, it's wishful thinking, I have to the work and I need to, I still have unresolved anger towards some people and guilt I need to let go of. There's no getting around that.
