The Dark Night of the Soul is a period of utter spiritual desolation, disconnection, and emptiness in which one feels totally separated from the Divine. Those who experience the Dark Night feel completely lost, hopeless, and consumed with melancholy. The Dark Night of the Soul can be likened to severe spiritual depression.

>You feel a deep sense of sadness, which often verges on despair (this sadness is often triggered by the state of your life, humanity, and/or the world as a whole)
>You feel an acute sense of unworthiness
>You have the constant feeling of being lost or “condemned” to a life of suffering or emptiness
>You possess a painful feeling of powerlessness and hopelessness
>Your will and self-control is weakened, making it difficult for you to act
>You lack interest and find no joy in things that once excited you
>You crave for the loss of something intangible; a longing for a distant place or to “return home” again

>En una noche oscura
>con ansias en amores inflamada
>¡oh dichosa ventura!
>salí sin ser notada
>estando ya mi casa sosegada,

>a oscuras y segura
>por la secreta escala disfrazada,
>¡oh dichosa ventura!
>a oscuras y en celada
>estando ya mi casa sosegada.

>En la noche dichosa
>en secreto que nadie me veía
>ni yo miraba cosa
>sin otra luz y guía
>sino la que en el corazón ardía.

>Aquesta me guiaba
>más cierto que la luz del mediodía
>adonde me esperaba
>quien yo bien me sabía
>en sitio donde nadie aparecía.

>¡Oh noche, que guiaste!
>¡Oh noche amable más que la alborada!
>¡Oh noche que juntaste
>amado con amada,
>amada en el amado transformada!

>En mi pecho florido,
>que entero para él solo se guardaba
>allí quedó dormido
>y yo le regalaba
>y el ventalle de cedros aire daba.

>El aire de la almena
>cuando yo sus cabellos esparcía
>con su mano serena
>y en mi cuello hería
>y todos mis sentidos suspendía.

>Quedéme y olvidéme

Spot on. Is there a way to reach it?

>>513866443 (OP)
I've been through this and came out the other end
I hope I never have to experience that again
oh yeah and I have healing powers or some shit now

>>513867527
for me it was intense decade long isolation

>>513867920
>Wonderland
Funny you post that. That is a term I use for the place I want to escape into.
>>513867960
For me it was the imp of the perverse. I just want to know genuine joy again.

Picrel.

Misfortune does not always come to injure. Trust in the promises of God. Christ is King and may his name be praised.

>>513868070
Once you conquer the dark part and become stronger it's like you pass the test and they reward start communicating to you with signs, your higher self that is.

>>513868195
When I went on my knees and told God I was nothing that was when I lost everything

>>513868368
he's testing you

There's no divine.

kek

>>513868320
I thought I did but I fall apart over and over again. I can’t tell if the darkness was always there or if it was an incursion upon me.

>>513868403
After that I had nothing left so I thought fuck it and just became depraved.

>>513868441
It's only over when you really start to know yourself, when you understand everything about yourself you'll know
>>513868532
that's not good, but you may yet turn back the ship

>>513868320
Yeah with synchronicities and shit. It is like I today couldn't pay for a bus ticket with my card and found out I have only 11.01 on my account and the clock showed 11:01 as well
But! Signs is not enough. I need something tangible, solutions to my problems resolved as favorable events.

>>513868582
I don’t know how to figure this out. My soul is too corrupted and confused at this point.

>>513868368
Be patient. Remember 2 Peter 3:8 “But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.”

I at a point thought I was damned, start believing in yourself

its just part of the Metanoia process of neurological transformation, getting the Holy Spirit by contact with another in posession of the Holy Spirit, is one way out, like St Paul getting it from St Stephen, Christians lack some fundamental understanding of the Metanoia process that many Buddhists and Yogis have understood for thousands of years

>>513868674
That is a really good quote, my suffering was horrifying but I know it was because I was shamefully prideful, like to ridiculous heights

>>513869166
They are the words of Jesus Christ if you or others are not aware.

>>513868895
I’m not a Christian. And I won’t be again.

>>513868936
can you share more about this?

>>513869286
>I won’t be again

Picrel. One can’t be unborn.

>>513869435
Do you happen to know what 25 might mean in Biblical context? I keep seeing it and trying to figure out the meaning

>>513869323
>can you share more about this?
read some Meher Baba, Ramana Maharshi, and Hakuin zenji, they all went through the Metanoia process to realize the Kingdom of Eternity aka Timeless Nirvana, and were able to transmit it to others via shaktipat aka laying on of hands

>>513868674
You see, its retarded shit like this which demonstrates the bible is merely the petty scribblings of men, not divine inspiration, not the word of God, not the words of Jesus.
God does not concern itself with human social hierarchies.
Sure, write it down as some common sense social code, blabber on about humility etc, add it to the list of books like "How to win friends and influence people", but do not for one moment pretend it comes from a divine source.

>>513869907
My attitude towards numerology is that it does not bear fruit, but is a pursuit that approaches the admonishment in picrel. The Bible is infinitely rich in teaching; one doesn’t need to seek for a hidden code a la q tards.

>>513870791
The social hierarchy is simply used as an illustration. The teaching, which is repeated elsewhere, is that God gives grace to humble but is opposed to the proud. This is an example of why being will read in the entire body of Scripture is important.

*well read

>>513866443 (OP)
I've been there. Took a long time to recover.

They have mkultra tech that they have been testing out on drunks. It's very spiritual, but in a way that will leave a fucking sour taste in your mouth about creation. Any Bible verse talking about the blessings of suffering, and wise quote s about coming through the darkness a better person, will appear like a sneer coming from provocative gnostics who live comfortable lives. Or that the whole live and learn structure of life hear leads to despair and all things bad.
I never cared about gnosticism. I think the eastern "no attachment" thing is stupid. And I feel offended that I even need to entertain their worldview.
Some of you government guys know exactly what I'm talking about and we expect compensation and the dismantling and exposure of the project.
Then you can talk to me about growth and lessons.

>>513868746
But how do you know it is Divinity and some bored out-thr-universe extradimensional being is just fucking around with you?

>>513871488
Nice digits

>>513868320
>it's been five years
How much longer bros?

>>513868406
Childless faggot
Divine or infernal there is far more to this existence than your precious science can describe.

>>513868936
this
it's just life

i had it too. I used to meditate a lot then it happened. utter desolation emptiness disconnect from everything and everyone and feeling at the absolute bottom useless and pathetic. If you survive life breaking you spiritually youll regrow slowly into a superior version of yourself. The trick is to hold on no matter what and not give up/suicide. Its tough but i guess its some kind of necessary rebirth thing.

>>513870999
Yeah no. Because now you have introduced the second major flaw. Interpretation. One guys a certain passage or "illustration" means this, another says that. Along with the control freak aspect of requiring people to read a lengthy tome so they get the "right" interpretation.
That is not mention the very premise of God being concerned with a human's state of mind, their own personal sense of self worth, is ridiculous.
Sure, I would agree humility is probably a requirement to connect with God, but its not a command from God itself. Your connection to God does not depend on its view of your humility or pride. It does not have a view on such human constructs.

>>513874301
Indra being swallowed by Vritra was a great humbling moment for him. Same for Zeus when he lost to Typhon and had to have Hermes step in and help him.
