The Dark Night Of The Soul (Individualisation Of The Soul)

The dark night of the soul is an experiential encounter every being will have to experience at some point in their lives. This dark night (knight) of the soul is simply the loss of meaning, when we encounter this part of our lives, we begin question our beliefs, projections and reality. The best way I can explain this is that ‘it literally makes no sense’ when you in the first stage of this journey. The dark night of the soul pulls you towards soul’s healing and releasing what no longer resonates with our existence. This experience leads to confrontation with the shadow self of ours. The shadow self is the hidden part of our existence that has been deeply concealed in our psyche that we weren’t paying attention to. This souls journey comes in different ways, and there are stages to this healing. This includes;

1. Grieving a loss of a major relationship, friendship, family member or partner.
2. Grieving a loss of a job or change in career.
3. Grieving a loss of financial status.
4. Grieving a loss of oneself or a complete reconstruction of your self belief system. It could be encountering different philosophies based on faith or non faith.

The dark night of the soul is painful no doubt but this experience could be more painful if you choose to fight it, if you choose to resist change or submit to the things that you cannot control. I won’t come up here to make it sound all rosey, if you fight change, change fights you. And things hits different when your guardian angels are dragging your ass to spiritual rebirth, trust me it’s something you never want to experience.

I was divinely told to share this part of my awakening with you, and that’s exactly what I’m doing. Look, I fought my spiritual awakening and it’s crazy if you ask me now. I never knew I was going through a kundalini awakening to who I am. Even when I was seeing things for what they’re, I deliberately refused to accept the truth. Even if I knew the people around me weren’t real, I deliberately allowed them stay in my close circle. This entrusted my spiritual awakening to be a very hard and rude one. I noticed my finances was crashing without remorse, my relationship was filled with so much conflicts that almost drove me insane. I became addicted to codependency as a means of survival because I never wanted to be left alone. My family was in a chaotic situation that I couldn’t resolve and so much more. All these happened to me as divinely guided because it’s meant to. It was to get my attention and when I got the message, I burst into tears as my world came crumbling. There was no one I could run to if not God the creator of my soul. 

God took everything from me so that I could come to him, he held my hand and walked me through this rebirth. It was painful and so hurting because I had to release my old beliefs about people, places and things that I had been taught all my life. This broke me into pieces knowing that the people you love and trust the most are the people who’ll go extra mile to kill or betray you. I never knew a man’s greatest enemy is in his household and I was blinded to this truth. I taught people who hurt me are the real ones, I taught people who’ll betrayed me, even after I forgave them I can still allow them in my space (after all, people change right?) Lol. That’s completely false from the pit of hell. If someone betrays you, it’s just to forgive but not allow them repeat the same things they did to you. You should have boundaries for yourself. I lacked self confidence, boundaries and awareness to these little things. The only way you can go through your dark night of the soul is to fully submit to the will of the divine and let the spirit of God guide you to where you ought to be. If you resist, the spirit of God persists. And you should know that you cannot defeat spirits, it’s a wrong thing to do or think because they’re the ones controlling our reality. So submit and don’t be strong headed like I was.
