Understanding The Dark Night of The Soul

The Dark Night of the Soul is a profound illusion that emerges as the mind begins to dissolve during spiritual awakening.

Why?

Because throughout your life, you've relied on your mind and thoughts as the core of your existence. All your identities and perceptions depend upon your conditioned mind. Your mind is the central lens through which you've seen and experienced the world.

So, during the Dark Night of the Soul, when the mind is dissolving, it can feel as though your very existence is coming to an END, but this is merely the ego’s fear of losing control, not the end of who you truly are.

In the absolute spiritual sense, the mind is non-existent. In our relative experience within the material world, the mind exists and is comprised of the five senses and thoughts, similar to how we describe the unmoving sun as rising or setting, even though it is the Earth that is orbiting.

Remember, you are not your mind and body. You are not your thoughts, emotions, or experiences. You ARE the awareness who observes them.

The Dark Night of the Soul is a complete illusion, but it feels very real.
