Out of suffering have emerged the strongest Souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars. – Khalil Gibran
Mystics, saints, and shamans throughout history have referred to our struggle as humans in different ways – but they all pointed to the need for us to consciously grow into our divine potential.
One of these people was Saint John of the Cross, a Spanish monk who coined the term “Dark Night of the Soul” https://lonerwolf.com/the-dark-night-of-the-soul/
If a Dark Night Of The Soul sounds like a scary thing, trust me that it is. It’s basically a point when everything in your life has failed. All your schemes and plans have not worked out and your life seems rather meaningless. You have entered into a phase of your spiritual development where you’ve been stripped of the false things you used to hold so dear. The alcohol doesn’t work anymore. The mindless shows on television fail to entertain. Your friends seem more attached to materialistic and shallow pursuits that no longer interest you. You’re in a spiritual crisis.
But you’ve already accepted the challenges of the spiritual path. You’ve done a lot of emotional clearing and you’re ready for the next step but the fact is you’ve got one foot stuck in the past and one foot in the future and right there in the present moment you’ve been sequestered by the spirits to deal with your ego once and for all.

I took these little excerpts from a couple decent websites so that if anyone wants to read further they may.
I went through this myself. I look back and it was a close call between me and suicide. I think we all arrive to the suicidal ideation destination for different reasons, myself, I couldn't understand why I would "choose this life that was like a small slice of hell". Had I known the Law of One then, it wouldn't have been so difficult but I didn't and I almost ended my life. I hated my life, it seemed pointless, I hated that nothing seemed to work out and everything that I touched went to hell in a hand basket. I had no relationships with anyone and I was completely without help. Suicide was looking like a really good way out of my personal hell. Plus, I felt that I may be saving others from being exposed to me.
It's been a long time since then nearly 20 years. I actually had two episodes of what I call sluffing of the fake and putting on my real suit. Many people die during this process because it is so incredibly painful. It seems that everything that is horribly wrong with the world, your family, you, your job, your health and anything else imaginable is a non ending cycle of doom that you will never escape. Pain, pain and more pain.
How many of us have survived this? How did we help ourselves? Did anyone have help from guides? What if we told everyone that you're not alone? Especially if they are here in this forum.
Has anyone had any strange or unique experiences with the Dark Night of the Soul?
For example. I heard a voice. A male voice that said in my left ear, "you have the answers". I was a smarty pants and said back, "Yeah, what are the questions?"
I would love to hear from anyone willing to share. I think we often feel like our experiences are so strange that it literally is TOO strange to tell another. Well, it doesn't get stranger than this forum which it's guiding light is the Law of One channeled through a small woman (Thank you Carla) from a 6th density alien!
