The Dark Night of the Soul
The Dark Night of the Soul is a VERY individuated experience. The author of one of the articles below is attempting to intellectualize a deep personal experience so that only one sentence of this ‘explanation’ rings true for me: “Those that have experienced, or are currently experiencing, a Dark Night of the Soul will know that something very fundamental at a core level is out of focus or completely lacking in their lives.” For me, it was as if my connection with God, which I had previously been totally unaware of, was suddenly withdrawn. There is a BIG difference between feelings of depression and The Dark Night.
