Dark night of the soul

my understanding is that it is the realisation of loss of the soul which creates despair, is this correct anyone thanks this is more than a little bit scary. As someone who suffered depression in the past I really don't need to go there again. I think this is why they don't recommend anyone with mhp to meditate, any thoughts?

Unlocking the unconscious mind is the reward in this, as The Dark Knight hold our hidden abilities and the incredible human strength and confidence we gain by going through it. It is a test of faith of experiencing the void, but it also can be fun experiencing all the hidden gifts that we have during the initial process.

Yeah depression aint nice, but a week of depression vs of having life time of a higher consciousness? you decide : )

My understanding is that there can be no loss of soul. I think that having a human experience is simply testing at times. You have your ups you have your downs, but I certainly don't think we were sent here to suffer. The happiest people aren't necessarily the ones who HAVE the most of everything, they are the simply the ones who MAKE the most of everything. Depression has a lot of causes. I don't know many people who havn't suffered from it. But I think if you can get to the root of what is making you unhappy, if you are can be true to yourself, find what you love and believe and hold onto that, then no matter what comes knocking you will be better equipped to deal with it. I think alot of people mistakenly feel alone, and oftentimes unheard. I think its time people started saying the things they think but rarely so. Often its easier to think and say the bad than the good. Thats why kindness and encouragement is so important. I believe theres good in everybody and that we all are born with the same right to a happy and fulfilling life. What I love the most about meeting people is seeing them bloom. People are full of potential and thats something that always amazes me. The dark night of the soul is like walking through a storm and finding your rainbow. It happens, at some point or other we have all been there, but whats important is that you come out of the other side stronger and wiser and ready to face the world.

one week sounds fine, only I've been panicking about this since I realised what I had done. not full blown depression though I am though somewhat resigned to the fact that it may get worse, that and the fact that I just found out that the gifts may only be temporary, and more to come that I don't fully understand yet.

Yes you are correct about some of the gifts may be temporary. The gifts are our hidden talent, some are born to be an inventor but not a psychic. When we get through the Dark Night stage, the inventor may experience psychic awareness, visions, ESP, and such, but it is not what he is programmed with. We would have to take a look at the planet alignments when we are born to find out a general idea of what are life path is.

I also suffered from depression, spent days in bed alone fighting with myself wandering why I have to go through all this? I tell you it is a blessing, it's about fighting for your survival, about making you strong to overcome the emotional issues that want us to end it all, and coming out of thinking "what was I thinking?". It's the game the ego plays on the conscious, it's a tough game that teaches survival of the spirit. If you have any worries about this, do not worry, you are experienced in this matter, you been there done that. Your faith is stronger than most, you just don't realize it yet. There is a reason why you suffered for so long, listen to your heart and think about it.

Your world is about to change for the better when you go through this process. Your new vibration will attract new love, better sex life, confidence, money, jobs, luck, life energy, **** you'll be styling.

If you have the opportunity go for it, but you should be given the OK by your higher consciousness(guide) before you let the ego and unconscious mind enter.
