According to St. John of the Cross and Teresa of Ávila, humans have an inborn longing for completion. This completion cannot be achieved by worldly pleasures. So, instead, we must go within, to reach the inner core of our soul in which ‘the divine’ lies hidden.
Through spiritual awakening, we adopt a different perception of reality. Our predicament becomes clear. Knowing that our past way of life never fills the void, while not knowing where to turn next, can leave us in despair.
According to John and Teresa, we must undergo a transformation that happens in the darkness of our unconscious, to reach the light. This mysterious and confusing transitional experience is called the dark night of the soul.

I am a Christian and I have never viewed God as a bearded man. God is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19). God is neither masculine or feminine, but simply all and everything. I have really enjoyed listening to your videos, however, please don't marginalize Christianity as if our God is merely Santa Clause. Thank you and may God bless you.

While I understand that not all Christians view god as the Sky Daddy, a great majority of them do. As someone who understands what the word ‘God’ truly means, you should also know that the ‘christians’ who view him as a Santa Claus type figure are much more harmful to humanity than what he said in this video. As a “real” Christian, which I believe you are based on your view of what god is, then you shouldn’t feel attacked when bad christians are ridiculed. That’s not towards you. That’s towards those who say they are christians, but then never question their own beliefs or actions. Those people are your enemy. Not einzelganger.

@@danam5272 i wish i could too. however, i am able to meditate by walking on trails or in open space (away from people and i don't take my phone). I also mediate by washing dishes or taking a bath. Remember no phone! i am able to get a feeling of "patience" (not resisting/acceptance) during my periods of "dark night of the soul" (i recently had one this past month) by: - trusting that i will come out the other side, and it will be ok. , - knowing that: although at times i am so tired and it may seem like it won't resolve, that it will resolve if i trust in the process. - knowing that: although at times, i feel resentful that i have to go thru this again (or it's too soon to have to go thru it again), that i remind myself that it is the only way to find acceptance with the outer world (which i cannot control and thus must accept). -reminding myself that i will come out the other side stronger and wiser, and that i will feel lighter on the other side. i recently got to the other side and i do feel lighter! and i know that when i will have to go thru another dark night in the future, i will be ok and get thru it and it will make me stronger. Because i am strong and capable and that these dark nights serve a meaningful purpose in my life. .

And when asked to explain it you do so in terms of Spirit. Enlightenment. Nirvana. Satori. Bliss...which is the absence of awareness and knowing and thought. Only an experience. Cherish it.

Tula Turan I wish you good fortune, however, not everyone reacts the same, I don’t believe that there is an intrinsic reason why having such an experience would in and of itself create a better outcome. A particularly intense experience like this can trigger brain chemistry/hormonal reactions which can lead to conditions like ptsd or clinical depression. I think what needs to be remembered is the instigating incident which may have been traumatic. People need to keep things in perspective and not put faith unduly in ideas such as this ‘dark night’ etc. It can go either way.

I’m going through this right now. I’m allowing myself to feel every hurt, every pain, every negative energy and then I release it. It was so strong earlier that I literally had to ground myself and sit on the floor and even that wasn’t good enough, I ended up laying on the cold floor and let it all out. I cried until I felt like it was all gone. I know there will be more days/nights like this and I just want to allow everything to come out so I can move on in peace. I honestly feel like I have no person that would understand what I’m going through but I’m going to keep going because I want to be able to help someone too if they’re going through it. Whoever is reading this, I hope you find your peace 💜

It is impossible my fellow brother, as long as you're bound by a physical body you're limited with what you can perceive. There's a perception of the soul and perception of the body, whatever you nurture will overgrow the other, but there's always an interconnected battle between the two, it only becomes one and pure when you lose what is meant to be lost. You might experience it by external influences but you can't live it, that's why awakened people keep longing for a later meeting. they just wait for it to pass so they can live it. In a much simpler language you see a photo of your destination, you get up on that train longing for that place but you can't experience it until you finish experiencing the train to its arrival.

Elysian Fields True! And here's the paradox: we shy away from the pain and anxiety of losing ourselves and thus we never truly get to know ourselves. So blessed are the ones who are left under circumstances where the breakdown of the superficial identity (ego) is inevitable. That is unless you from the start are not entrapped in superficial perspectives on yourself and others. Then you do not need a breakdown to free yourself. The level to which a superficial ego defines our identity from the get go very much has to do with our upbringing. If your surroundings do not allow you to experience and contemplate your feelings without shaming you and if your surroundings do not engage in intimate dialogue with you regarding your inner experiences then you end up defining yourself according to your perception of your surroundings. Then you must walk the rocky road through a crisis to liberate yourself

Before I faced my demons and facing the dark night of the soul, i deflected my sadness onto others. Once I died inside, and truly faced it and did the internal work, I was reborn. I'm now soft and quiet and feel what I feel without shame. Every time I wanted to die- as in, off myself- I ran to nature. Mother Earth nurtured me. Every time I felt I couldn't carry on anymore, she gave me some of her breath so i could carry on. I'm not done with the work yet. But I faced it. I don't cry daily anymore and I'm kinder to my faults. I see everything so colorfully now. I appreciate every coincidence in life. I just live so much deeper now. I'm grateful for that pain that almost killed me. That heart break taught me so much ❤

The Dark Night of the soul is also known in Buddhism in the 16 stages of insight. On the path to enlightenment, the seperate ego realizes that it will soon be destroyed and fights back in the form of depression, misery, anger, and craving. These negative conditions are a purging of your own weakness and selfishness. I've experienced many of these during meditation retreats. They are not fun. But of course, the light always follows. :)

I experienced this after I broke in myself after several years of severe depression. It got so bad that it just pressed a restart button in me. My ego died within seconds and something new came out of the shadows of myself that got pushed there long time ago. I remember how I cried at the simplest emotions watching youtube videos. Just the recognition of emotions in someones face. I'm glad that I did not had to have a "regular life" in that time frame. Living authentic in yourself is the best thing you can do and I would never go back.

Lost my job today. So many frustrations for months on end, from outside me and inside me. When this happened in the past I used to drink, blame others, and inevitably I'd end up repeating the same thing again later. Stopped drinking a few years ago, but that didn't change me overnight. I've had to face so many parts of myself I'd been ignoring or rejecting because I was ashamed of them. Today, I am deeply aware of my pain right now, but at the same time I feel total equanimity. I know, in a way I never knew in the past, that it is out of my hands and, somehow, it will be okay; that the pain does not define me or my life, and that it will eventually leave once I've received what it's trying to give me. Just have to be strong enough to accept it. This video is very timely for me. Thank you for making it.

@@AstralMarmot glad to hear that! sounds like you have now received what was hidden behind the pain of what you were going through :) I’m currently in my own dark night of the soul. Been enduring it for the past 6 months I’d say. Progressively getting worse. From the passing of my father, to feeling taken advantage of in certain parts of the field I worked so hard to crack into, I’m left with this overarching black cloud hanging over me. I still have my good days, but maybe 1-2x out of the week. But overall my trust issues have gotten out of hand and have days where I have 0 motivation to achieve anything I’m passionate about. However, I feel like this is my second dark night of the soul. I know in the sense of a bigger picture I’m enduring this because something magical/positive is on the other side of this darkness. Today I feel I’m taking a step in a more positive/light direction and hope to continue this momentum. In the process of making some life/career-altering decisions and I trust that doing so will help clear certain obstacles mentally to crawl out of this rut. I wish the best of luck to you and your newfound passion/career. The best is yet to come. btw idk what compelled me to reply to your comment only, but glad I did as it provides a bit more inspiration/clarity to my current situation. stay blessed

This is very much a journey of self purification. It also is akin to being in the belly of the whale. What I found amazing while the timeline was 3 days in reality it could be the 20 years May endured. What I had found after emerging from this journey was that it was an act of grace from God. While I lost everything the gift of grace was that I found myself. I would not trade those 30 years of the journey for anything. I believe humbly that I was gifted with this painful journey only by the grace of God.

This happend to me after a psilocybin experience. It was hardest thing I've ever been through and I'm glad it happend. I had feelings of being one which contradicted my previous beliefs that God is far and separate. I wanted to die to make it stop but I've realized it was my ego dying and begging for it to stop. I've learned to let go since then and my life has completely changed for the better. It was rough the next 6 months, Its like it reset my brain. It's been a little over a year since then and my ego has fully recovered but in a faaar more open, loving, and understanding way. I've realized that almost all religions spread the same core message of love and oneness and that really its the ego drivin clergy and institutionalization of these religions that have caused separation and hate. There's always light at the end of the tunnel! 🙌💛☯️✌

He even went thru a mini dark night of the soul. Iroh explained to him something like, “The choice you made created a huge shift in your body, it will not be pretty, but I promise you will come out better.” Then when he comes out he’s way nicer and polite. He’s actually excited about the tea shop and has a positive outlook of life.

I don't know. I just feel like a Samurai warrior. One fight after another, another struggle followed by another, then another. I haven't felt "pleasure" in decades, yet I continue to hope that something better will come, but it is one more struggle waiting for me. Time and time again. The warrior wins, but there is no prize, just more chaos, and more life.

@@eagleeye182 The process is the goal, not the outcome. engaging in the process and trying your best is what matters. I make an agreement to accept the end result for whatever it ends up being. I release expectation and attachment of what I want the end result to be. I recognize that it is my internal world that needs to be resolved, whether or not my external world is resolved. It is "worth it" for me, when I am able to resolve something within my inner world. Examples of a person's external world could be conflicts in relationships with family members, work/career life dissatisfaction, health problems, etc. Example of inner world could be beliefs or feeling that you are good enough or that you are a bad person or that no one will ever love you, or that you will not be capable of overcoming a future failure or loss, etc. Recently I got further in overcoming my inner belief that I am not good enough by having a realization that nothing is fully in our control and most things are not in our control at all!. I thought i new this before, but i had strayed, such that i was starting to try to control everything and have anxiety from not being able to control everything and then by partly regretting or blaming myself when something when wrong.

A lot of people i read think it's a depression or anxiety but it goes much more deeper then that, it's our story of ourself and the world that is falling apart. You can't have a dark night of the soul without a spiritual awakening and for most people more then one if you take the concept dark night of the soul from John of the cross, ofcourse you can call a depression or a void also a dark night of the soul but this is much different. Mostly it begins with awakening of the mind when you come out of the mind then the heart and it will then descent to your gut. It's a very physical, emotional, process and something is going threw all the places in your body where there is something stuck and there is all the darkness that we don't wan't to see or feel. It's accepting everything without a judgement or story it's the unknown but it's a long road with many different challenges and experiences.

It gives me a sense of clarity and tells me that there isn't anything inherently wrong with me as a person for feeling so numb to life. For anyone feeling the same way just stay strong hopefully it'll pass soon for all of us.

I think for a long time I had a feeling that the dark night is coming for me but I tried to resist it so much, was clinging to my old self and old ways of life. And when it finally broke and knew my old self is gone, the confusion reached its peak. I got very emotional but I was no longer in sooo much pain that I was before. I do believe I need to do my best to let it pass and see the light and be at peace again

We tend to ignore facing ourselves through external means. It's easy to distract ourselves in this age of technology and constant grind too. Yet, no matter who you are or where you are in life, if it's your time for the Dark night, you'll eventually have no option but to face it. But the dark night serves as a tool for transformation. We can't step fully into our authentic selves if we still carry unconscious baggage. It's the most brutal rebirth. It mostly feels like you're winging it (or even dying). What's really needed during this time is patience and a deep trust in your path. It's an unlearning process, it peels away all the false layers so you're able to speak and live your truth.

Such a great explanation of the dark night, I thank you for bringing awareness to this incredibly difficult but transformative process. I've been going through this for 3 years or so and it is honestly the hardest and most painful thing...I've watched myself and my life slowly fall apart as I tried to carry on and resist the process. I didn't want to believe that I was going through it. I couldn't comprehend that my spiritual awakening had led me to this point, as if I had gone too far or made a mistake...and now my ego is dying. It's so isolating, like how the hell do you explain to your family or friends, or even a doctor or therapist that your old self is dying without them thinking you're crazy or something along those lines? That you are not just in a typical depression but something much deeper? That fire of passion for life as he mentioned is just gone. I feel stuck in sadness and pain. I'm crying all the time, I've lost interest in so much, I have little drive and energy, I have bouts where I feel like I'm going mad, and have thought about suicide multiple times. I feel like I don't even know who I am anymore or what to believe. It's very confusing and lonely. The thought of even working a job at this time feels impossible. I would most likely be homeless and/or dead if it wasn't for my family to take care of me financially. I'm not trying to exaggerate or scare anyone, but this has honestly been the majority of my experience with the dark night of the soul. I wanted to show a glimpse of what it can really be like, especially if you resist it. It's no joke. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but since it's part of one's journey back home to the "divine" or whatever your preferred word for God is, then yes, I would wish this on everyone. The best advice that I hear over and over is to surrender. So much easier said than done but undeniably true.

The dark night of the soul for me was one of the scariest moments of my life, it’s neither here nor there, there is no time and everything becomes numb, what I can only describe as a conscious hell because of sensory overload. Then it was over , it woke me up and the shades came off. I definitely think this is some sort of spiritual awakening or a path to change, it shouldn’t be so traumatic but the process that came afterwards was totally worth it.

I’ve been experiencing this for a year. I grew up part of a church community. In the first 2 months. I left the faith. I knew something was wrong in my heart. It was a soul tearing experience . Part of my identity was gone. Then I left family and friends that no longer added value to my life. I got a new phone number. I sat alone in my apartment for hours. Reading and journaling. I’d go on walks to pray. The pain was unbearable. It was soul dividing. But I knew if I was a son of God. Nothing would come to me I could not handle and there was meaning in my suffering. Eventually I lost my job. My car broke down. I was unemployable for 2 months. These were dark times in spirit and body and mind. I had lost all my pride. I had lost everything I had. I felt so terrible and isolated and worthless. But I still didn’t give up hope. The idea that this was serving some purpose. But the pain is so intense sometimes it manifests as dread. As fear of heaven and hell. Fear of eternity. Fear of the unknown. The warmth of loving embrace and of friendship are unknown to me. The trust I have with others is gone. I have visions and dreams of places I’ve never been. Experiences I’ve never had. I’m still suffering. But I hope If I can make it. I’ll find my purpose and hopefully help others find meaning in this narcissistic and lonely world.

To overcome the Dark Night of the Soul, one must transcend the Ego. All the name, the Title, accomplishments that one worked hard for previously, they are the blockage. Once on the other side, the next stage, life goes on as usual but no more mental/ spiritual suffering. Everything within the person is calm, harmonious even getting stuck in the Rush-hours. So give up the Ego, don't ask, don't question, let go and believe in higher power- give in. Sadly, every time the Ego resurfaces, there's a chance a person will have to go through the Dark Night of the Soul, again until a complete let go.

Thank You for this teaching today. It struck a note with me. I died several years ago and the Doctors brought me back. I cried my eyes out when I awoke, because I was back in horrific pain. I had almost made it to the other side. I have never felt so euphoric in my life. I have struggled with food not tasting a great as it did before, and people seeming so superficial. I can never feel as good as I did in that state of being dead. It was not horrible, it was beautiful. I have gotten over the anger I felt for being brought back to this existence. Maybe it was a touch of the Devine. Maybe I have not learned all my lessons here on earth. I sometimes think that maybe I have a fear of not making it to that perfect place again.

"Per aspera ad astra" or in other words, through adversity to the stars..in a world of duality,that's how it goes. On the Planet Earth is, there is no other way to achieve enlightenment than to go through the dark tunnels of the false beliefs,toxic emotions,memories etc. When I think of this path, I think of a movie The Shawshank redemption, where, symbolically, is ,quite accurately shown what a main character had to do, to find his way to freedom. Persistant action in right direction.Thank you for this beautiful video.

I’m really grateful for channels like this. Those that have taken the red pill can often feel crazy & isolated but it’s gratifying to see there are others out there! All my life I knew something wasn’t quite right & I was often ignored being told I’m too sensitive & forced to play the game even if my soul fought it! Of course this led to many years of depression but I had to experience all that to be the person I am. I embrace it in joy, love & patience trusting that everything is as it’s supposed to be and the source of all love is watching over me.

This is a solid insight. I had panic attacks and booze issues for years and had a strange experience in rehab when I was overcome with such peace. Before that I was in abject hell. Completely lost and struggling to find an 'I'. It was fricking traumatising. I wouldn't class myself as 'awakened' as some folks out there but it shifted my perspective on life indelibly. Incidentally, I moved out of the 9-5 and started my own business exploring this process of regeneration. It really is 'the ones who've cracked the light shines through' IMO. Great video man

Yes, after the dark night of the soul is called the void. It can last for months to years. Oh how scary is it to truly let go! To fall into the void of the unknown. It was there that I found the truth of nothingness.

After I died a couple of times and found out children being created and born is the light and now that I broke I wait for death the only one I know for sure will come and visit me some day soon. Dho I never made it to completion I am greatful for everything I experienced. Focus on love and health. Find the others. Become rich in money, mind, spirit, love, health and experiences. There is only the now. In the end I die alone in the beginning I came alone and in-between I found all of u. Uni-verse the union of the word/sound. Thank you.

I had been soooo going through this. Then one day I caved.. I gave in to the darkness of my struggle. Then I felt a transition that completely changed my daily experience to a more peace of mind kind of experience than a struggle kind of experience. Yeah, dark night of the soul is real.

I've been fighting this dark night of the soul for 4 yrs now. Have been in isolation extreme low energy, meds, craving junk foods. Was in a abusive marriage. It literally feels like something broke in me. I'm slowly aligning. I'm not into tv anymore. I'm mostly on line reading. Have been buying hygiene products to keep clean. Very low energy to take showers. Thank u for this video

I found this video at the perfect moment in my life. I've been practicing Stoicism and it feels as though I'm reprogramming my mind, simultaneously unlearning what I used to know whilst learning an entirely new way of living. When asked if I'm "happy" with my life, I had a hard time answering. This video perfectly describes where I currently see myself, but I didn't realize that the dawn could be before me. It gives me a sense of guidance. Thank you so much for your content.

This is me down to a T. Even resenting little, insignificant things that bring me momentarily peace of mind... I just feel slave to them. I wanna be free of dependency on food & attaining body & acting nice towards every knucklehead. I just wanna be wandering and exploring soul in universe... Lowkey, just wanna be back to where I was before I was born...

My own spiritual night of the soul has lasted for around 12 years, and it is best described as a sun, luminous with meaning and sensibility, exploded into a cloud of dust, slowly reforming into some kind of new and rebirthed self-awareness. Schizophrenia is often related to this experience of a lack of self or ego, and spiritual experiences that defy common logic.
