The Dark Night Of The Soul
The Dark Night Of The Soul
This month has been overwhelming and draining to say the least.
I started to feel a sadness that I couldn’t put my finger on. I then realized that I was experiencing a great loss, a mourning of what I once knew the world to be. I realized I was experiencing the Dark Night Of The Soul again, but this time it was a total clearing of all that was left of my stuff and at the same time experiencing all that needs to be transformed on a global level if we are to survive.
I would say we are all in some way individually and collectively going through this sadness and loss. We are collectively experiencing the process of The Dark Night Of The Soul.
I call part of this process a stripping.
A lot of people, places and things are being removed from our lives that are not serving the greater good of our personal development and our collective progress. What ever stands in the way of our growth and true calling. A cleansing is happening so a new way of life and understanding can take place. It’s a death of sorts of all things we knew as real.
Our ideas and frame work that we have been used to live by are crumbling right before our eyes. This is a necessary process for our global family so that we may rebirth a new human society.
This process can be very painful. I have gone through this before but when you get to the other side of it you are truly transformed.
In order to get to the other side we must clear all of our stuff.
It is also a global clearing and an awakening.
We are being moved to the next stages of our souls growth individually and collectively. This is by far the biggest change that humanity has ever had to go through. So how does one get through this?
1.First of all BREATHE and practice the OM Sound.
This helps with Anxiety.
2. Practice meditation and prayer. We must stay connected to God, Spirit, Universal Power, what ever you relate to. Through this you will gain nourishment, love and strength. (If you resist meditation at least take time to be totally quiet. Walk in nature).
3. Ebb and Flow - Move with it like a river - don’t resist and fight it.
It will only make it harder.
3. Practice detachment with love.
This was a big struggle for me for awhile. I was like how do you not be involved? You become the watcher the observer. Like watching a movie. You watch it but you are not in it. Be in the world not of the world. The watcher becomes the witness. Let the outcome come to you don’t create it. The universe will show us, then an aw-ha happens. When we participate in the drama we get emotional and try to control things to our point of view. This resistance doesn’t work. One has to let go of any and all attachments that one might have that hold each of us back. We need to be able to see and understand who we truly are as a person and as a people.
4. Let Go let God!
We can’t control it. Spirit will guide us. We are to look at what we are being shown, recognize it and move through it. Be the watcher and know that spirit will handle it. We have to have TRUST and FAITH.
So for now let’s close our eyes and visualize that we are sitting on a green lush mountain with a stream of fresh water running by us with beautiful color flowers bending with the wind. This picture is guiding us, telling us to let the energy move through.
Stay in the presence of God, knowing that in oneness we can and will get through this. Come back to this visualization as needed.
