4 Dark Night of the Soul Stages Explained 

Thank you. I’m interested to participate in related support group

What if this cycle keep going?

Yes, please create a support group. It would save lives! God does not want us to go through this alone. Thank you.

Hi, I would be interested in being part of that group. I live in Sweden, so if there are some people in European Time Zone we could even create one for that zone, otherwise I can adapt to a North American Time Zone. I am 47 year old, and I have gone through this process(es), and it feels apt to be of support of others. We all have different backgrounds and entries into spiritual development, I understood my process via Jungian Psychoanalysis practices in combination with Gnostic wisdom, thus I could be of support to anyone who feels comfortable with those topics. Thanks for these videos and looking forward to be of support!

Yes this group sounds great!

Thank you for sharing. Sounds like a very big "purification" stage. You got this!

we are not our story it's just a soap opera....

Wow very intense ❤ holy fire and purification, I had things similar happen. In astrology if you have major Capricorn placements you would have also dealt with the Pluto transit which is generally h*ll…🕊🕊🕊 prayers for restoration and renewal

Spot on! Shed the old skin - perfectly said 🙏🏻

I can sooooo relate to this!!! And you are not crazy and not alone. Don’t follow the norm. It’s actually funny because this morning i shared exactly these same reflections as yours on my instagram. Time to move away from “reality” and “the norm”. 🙏🏻 you got this!!!!! Youre having this experience for a reason.

Are there any support groups for this journey? It would be nice to have people to talk to that are/have shared this experience

Good you family. Wish I had one. My parents died & I have no kids no wife

I went through this from 2012 to about 2020. It was AWFUL! I questioned everything. I wanted to go home but I didn't know where home actually was! I started getting lots of downloads and couldn't make sense of it. How it started was by being abused by a church pastor. It made me so lost and confused. And when I say it is difficult...it is traumatizing but not meant to hurt. It brings clarity. I no longer and religious. I do not go to church and will never again. My relationship with source is so amazing now! I looked for therapist for this but I found nothing.

OMG!!! I am exactly exactly exactly at the same place , thoughts of being done with this life are cropping up. I simply cannot live a typical life of society pleasing and looks like whatever I do, I keep ending up at a place where I am forced to do something that is soooo not me, now I am at a place where either I am supposed to produce a child or leave my marriage. I am torn apart, I want a peaceful life of spiritual growth and not a child who is causing pain and suffering to the world.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this with me. I'm so glad to hear the video resonated & helped you make sense of your experience. Journaling on this is a great idea. Sending you a huge huge hug!

Absolutely!!

Ohhh I so hear you. The most amount of suffering i’ve experienced, too… thank you for sharing & congrats on the book! ❤️

Can there be periodic dark night of the soul ? I had one period at the start of last year and I am going through one again now almost same as last year

@@sonya9478it goes on for years

My pleasure & glad the information resonated. I so hear you!! 🙏🏻 you got this ❤️

🩷🩷🙏🏻

Thank you. My pleasure ❤️

I'm so happy to hear that! 😀

I so understand you. It’s like a push and pull - but at least now there is a NEW self to work/fight towards 🙏🏻 you got this

wow. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this & being so open. I can relate to absolutely eeeeeverything that you just described. In regards to your question: experiencing an uncomfortable feeling in the solar plexus all the way up to the throat chakra -- yes OH YES. For a period of time. I also did energy work and such, but really it started going away when I started standing up for myself, not betraying my own needs, and stepping into my own vision/values/what was important to me. So much of the uncomfortable feeling that I experienced was when I was stuck in this sad "victim" mode, putting myself behind everyone else, and tooootally abandoning my own needs and priorities. Thank you so much for sharing & there absolutely is a light at the end of the tunnel. my dark night of the soul was excruciatingly painful & difficult, but now that i'm on the other side, I can see it was the biggest gift & transformation... ❤

Hi yes feel the same sensation from solar plexus to the throat chakra. It’s good to know it’s a thing! ❤

my pleasure!

I don't think the work of letting go, shedding old "skin" etc is ever done. It's never complete. Some periods are harder than others. The 3 years I went through it, it was FULL ON challenging. Sure, now i dip in and out slightly, but it's nowhere near the initiation that it was. I also expect at some points in life it'll get more intense again. It ebbs and flows :)

Couldn’t agree more!!!

glad it was helpful

Thank you!

What a journey indeed!!!

You’re welcome 😊

My pleasure ❤️ glad to hear it helped

Thank you ❤️

🙏🏻

Thank you & i hear you!!

Im happy to hear the video resonated & wonderful that you’ve been able to reflect it on your own journey! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

Best of luck to you. You got this 🙏🏻

Ooft, welcome welcome

you got this!

Yes!

Ohhh, not that I know of. But honestly… this isn’t a bad idea. I would have love on myself. Should i make a support group? 🤔

Yes. Make a support group.

No. We must turn our back on everything of this world and put every ounce of our faith, trust, and hope in our Lord and Lady. We must rely solely on God.

@@DAIHSSMITH community is essential in healing, especially collective healing :) no man is an island.

@InnerResearcher The purpose of detachment, though, is total. Not partial. If we have earthly support, then we are not completely detached. I, too, have gone through the dark night. The unintentional wrong support of others would get into the way of what our Father is trying to work. We came into this world alone, and we will leave this world alone. And alone, we will be accountable. Therefore, in order to accomplish the Will of the Father that no one else can know, we must also go through this alone as uncomfortable and hard as it may be. Jesus suffered so much more, and we can offer our tears and sufferings up for Heaven to use. Our Father wastes nothing. May God bless you abundantly.

Hehe 😜 my pleasure!!

My pleasure!! And ohhhh - that is so well said & i know what you mean 🙏🏻

🥰

Absolutely, there are a lot of tools nowadays that can help navigate these stages. And yes - surrender, surrender, surrender!

Thank you for sharing. You got this 🙏🏻

Let go of All negative beliefs for sure. Let go of everything God considers a sin which is a lot of things. Idolatry is a big one Know that the words we use are a thousand times bigger than how the world uses them. Ex. Love, truth, mercy We need to apply this in every definition we can find BUT the ultimate definition is GOD!!! He is all of these things AND the WAY and the LIFE. He’s our only way in this darkness without him we will chase our tails and he is the only way we can experience LIFE and more abundantly For example: Gay are bad and going to hell. The truth is it’s not your business and you are causing that nasty pain to yourself. The Bible says…God loves us all and he allows different things like deception and our own choices to pull us to himself… as long as they acknowledge Jesus is our Lord and Savior he will not leave that one lost sheep!! If they don’t believe and are gay then again they may burn, they may not, but not our business Our only task is to love them like God lives us and that is completely unconditional. Expose darkness and corruption because if you don’t you will be a part of that problem and that negativity will jeep rocks on your own head Sad part is that a huge part of this existence, it’s the rotten valley of the shadow of death. So, mind your business, mind your thoughts because they are not always the TRUTH in God Let go of believing this “system” is for you. It’s filled with deception. God is your only source for information and truth. I have to ask him and wait for an answer. Let go of thinking you have control of anything… My intuition says keep my heart, mind, eyes, ears on God… nothing physical because it may have to all fall away. But it’s a test you have to go through Let go of thinking how ppl want you to think, think how God thinks and how he wants you to think Let go of all physical things or attachments Let go of previous the life you know now to get the one that’s authentic. I understand that God made all things, he gives and takes for our good. He is always there(here) with us and will never leave us and he loves us to his core and wants to give us all he has in exchange for your surrender and obedience. ❤

*For me* the things I needed to let go of were: - anything my family taught me to be - anything society told me to be - all the prejudices I had picked up along the way. All these things are rules that are predetermined and way too rigid. There was no room left for being in the moment or for my inner voice to speak up.

I hear you. A button would be very nice... You got it. it ebbs and it flows, but you got this.

Perfectly said -- becoming stronger, more “me.” ❤ absolutely!

Great question and its soooo personal. There really isn’t a fixed timeline (unfortunately :/ )

Absolutely it’s a real thing and indeed it can take a lifetime. Our growth and awakening is never “done”

hahahha. totally!

Thank you so so so much! ❤️

Thank you for sharing and you said it perfectly: "They can't understand because they haven't been through what you have. They haven't experienced what you've experienced. They haven't learned the lessons you've learned. So connecting back with those people just doesn't really work anymore."

the only way out is through - and you can't rush it!

oh ye! inner and emotional weightlifting

@@InnerResearcher Truth! Challenges every part of your being in a beautiful way

Ooft... that's a great question, and i can only share my perspective on it but it's not the "one and only truth". Can a person get stuck or trapped in the dark night? absolutely. I got stuck in the dark night for about 4-5 months, and i could feeeel that i was stuck. there was something about feeling so sad, so depressed, feeling a victim of life that.... felt like a pull. You can get stuck in feeling sorry for yourself and beginning to wonder that 'well, life is just gonna be this hard and bad always'. I got stuck in it, but 4-5 months later i realized i was stuck, and i needed to push myself to keep moving forward. instead of crying over things and being upset and dettached, i need to start letting go what was not serving me + start working towards changing things. I think at the end of the day, what also helped me is working with a coach/therapist + doing the work alone. it sounds like you are going through a dark night and it's intense, but also perhaps in regards to you being adopted, it would be beneficial to explore that from a psychological/attachment side, too. If you're interested (or haven't heard) about attachment, check out the book 'attached'! Sending you lots of support.

@@InnerResearcher thank you

Any job absolutely not. You don’t want just “any job”, you have to be specific on what you want!

You are never given more than you can handle. Your soul, Divine, is leading the way. The sense of being exhausted will pass. Have faith, you are light and you are divinely guided. Lots of love dear soul 🌞🙏🏼❤️

I hear you. I was so worn out as well, after 3 years of being in it: but i promise there is light on the other side & @twinflamespurechannel is right 🙏🏻

Oh, absolutely it's normal. I'm a very high energy/productive/motivated person, but during dark night of the soul I felt like a low-energy hermit. It was really hard to get things done because I was depleted.. You are doing SO MUCH INNER WORK and it costs sooo much every, so this absolutely makes sense.

@@InnerResearcher Thank you! I know what you mean, before DNoS I was always full of energy and rushing and had my nose in 100 challenges. You’re words calm me down! Can’t wait to get my energy back. I see improvement, sure but It’s slow 🫣 ❤️ take care and I can’t wait for you’re next video!

Not sure where unemployment is mentioned in the video

I don’t follow what you’re trying to say here 😊

@@InnerResearcher I believe. But life ist easy if one interprets all as one wants. Good luck 👍

It’s challenging but there’s always a reason why you go through it…

Happy to help

My Dark Night of the Soul nearly broke me. I never would call myself a shaman before today. Now I can feel it. I'm a shaman. Keep up the good work.

I'm not superior & I'm not intimidating. I'm sorry that you feel this way. Perhaps it is something for you to reflect on, why these perceptions are coming up.

No need to blame. He was just a catalyst that needed to get you on this transformative path 🙏🏻

True 😢

To each their own, sir.🤷🏼‍♀️ Not everyone will resonate with my words & it’s fine. Best of luck :)

Dark related to the “dark” inner experience you have. You feel like you’re lost in inner darkness, feels like there is no way out, gloominess… that’s what is meant by “dark” 😌

@@InnerResearcher I want to feel this darkness to end the illusions in my life , btw you are very charming ☺️

Dark night of the Soul was originally qouted by St John of the Cross between 1577 and 1579.

My pleasure. Happy to help ❤️
