You’ve probably heard of the Dark Night of the Soul - a feeling of spiritual abandonment that God uses to purify us as we make our way along the path to holiness.
It's the transition between the second and third stages of the spiritual life, traditionally called the illuminative and unitive stages.
But have you ever heard of the Dark Night of Sense?
It’s a similar, less intense period of purification indicating movement from the first to the second (purgative to illuminative) stages.
But there are some key differences.
And knowing what to expect during the Dark Night of Sense can mean the difference between slipping into lukewarmness…and taking a giant leap into the next stage of your spiritual development.
In today’s Sainthood Snippet, I’ll explain how to test whether you’re actually experiencing the Dark Night of Sense - and what to do to make your way through it.
This clip comes from my Science of Sainthood video course on the Dark Night of Sense, which contains 8 full video lessons and meditations on this transformational spiritual experience.
