dark night of the soul

So is this when you realize you have to give up everything?

It may well be, for you. But then remember that without the night there is no sunrise to be overawed by.

For me In progress what I felt was that I had nothing left...I had nothing to give up. All that was left In essence was myself. I felt alone, naked (lol) stripped bare from all what "I thought was Important".. from all that I thought defined me..

What many do not realize - Is that all that Is needed - Is the self lol.

There Is no-thing other than..

My guides have always taught me that.... *it is always darkest before the dawn* You cannot know true light until you have experienced the darkness........And then you find that darkness is an illusion, a product of our human conditioning. You will find that light dissolves darkness in the end.

We seem to be reborn through these dark nights of the soul.........We find our true selves.

oh I have had many dark nights of the soul, all in a four month period, everytime they occured I did not listen and carried on...big mistake because the creator kept making them come to me until I listened.
It was a time when I needed to ask for help, when I realized that I couldn't do it on my mind, when I realized I need to give up my ego and get help and also I realized I had to be stronger and stand on my own feet.

Oh, I have also experienced more dark nights of the soul that I care to remember. One "night" actually lasted almost two weeks and when it was finally over and the sun literally shone in my eyes, I cried so deep, having survived.
Today was another dark day with the heart chakra hurting and feeling empty and tiny. To spare you from the teary details, I ended up having a brain area on the left side of the head activated. This time it actually hurt for a while. Also the left side of the body received treatment. What a day. Again. Blessings!

Oh, I forgot the hint of the day. One time the dark night of the soul was so well executed that I spent it alone in total darkness - electricity was off in the whole area so it was pitch dark - and no signs of guides. I did not have a candle, flashlight or anything. And since that night I have not been afraid of being in the dark although I had always earlier been.
Anyway, the hint is to keep a candle/matches or flashlight at hand, just in case. =)

in_progress, for me one of the most beautiful experiences was the moment when I gave up my everything, life, free will, everything, about 8 years ago! At that same event (the room had turned yellow, there were truly amazing angels present) I breathed in Holy Spirit. The beauty of that moment is beyond words.
And since then life has been a roller coaster - perfect in the big picture but at a human experience level... extreme.
