  • Saint Therese of Lisieux - News stories about Mother...

    Rated Oct 24 2007 3 reviews christianity, dark night, spirituality thereseoflisieux.org




    Mother Teresa was not unfamiliar with the Dark Night of the Soul. Links from this page examine her trials through the "Dark Nights" and if she can have them without being doubted as a woman od God, surely there is no reason the average person wouldn't have them.

    I will always thank and remember an awesome friend on Stumble who brought this "Dark Night" phenomenon into my understanding when I was suffering through another and unknowing what it was, was in this black abyss of spiritual bleakness.

    Here's my Dark-Night Stumble Tag if you're seeking more information.

    "Dark night of the soul" sounds like a threatening and much to be avoided experience. Yet perhaps a quarter of the seekers on the road to higher consciousness will pass through the dark night. In fact, they may pass through several until they experience the profound joy of their true nature. Many seekers would encourage the dark night experience if they knew what it was. However, to one engaged in the dark night, suffering seems unending.

    A darling friend pointed this page into my direction after my latest bleak episode. I am anxious to continue reading this page and keeping it in my heart. I'll journal about my latest apisode - which I don't get often but significantly enough that it affects me and stays in my memory for years. I suppose in the past 4 years I have had 6 of these dark "nights" and this page is true so far in the sense that I have emerged more spiritually ascended than when I had initially descended.

    I hope to understand and absorb more of this in the days to come and hope it can find and help someone else who has or may experience something like this.


    The dark night occurs after considerable advancement toward higher consciousness. Indeed, the dark night usually occurs like an initiation before one of these special seekers is admitted into regular relationship with higher consciousness.

    Now this line is quite interesting. Maybe 6 months ago I was reading Beth Moore's When Godly People do Ungodly Things and one of the things to look out for, she enumerated, was that after a Spiritual Awakening [Transcendance] or whatever you want to call it [ie, Feeling particularly close with God or your Spirit] that there always comes a time when one is "tempted" by the devil. [Or feel more comfortable using whatever words you like..."the enemy," or "the dark" or "negativity" or...whatever] but that what I take away as a common theme is that for every "spiritual hilltop" we manage to fly upon...there will inevitably come a time of extreme testing..or what this page calls it: The Dark Night of the Soul.

    "Given the right circumstances stress could trigger a full-on kundalini awakening. It appears that the awakening of kundalini means the prolonged hyperactivation and dance between both sides of the nervous system with periodic dominance of the freeze response during extreme inner-events. It could be that after a certain period of this extreme nerve activity the immune system goes into a radical catabolic condition, what I call a die-off. Part of the function of a die-off could be the resetting of the nervous system equilibrium, breakdown of axions and restructuring to a more mature/advanced functioning. It does seem that the sense of being overwrought and out of our depths disappears after a die-off for we have assimilated our metamorphic progress to date and have a new lease on life. The timing of the die-off must correspond to both the intensity and duration of nerve activity. A more acute phase of neurological chemistry is followed more quickly by a die-off to help bring the rest organism up with the refinement or growth that has occurred in the nervous system."

    Dark Night of the Soul


    God perceives the imperfections within us, and because of his love for us, urges us to grow up. His love is not content to leave us in our weakness, and for this reason he lakes [sic] us into a dark night. He weans us from all of the pleasures by giving us dry times and inward darkness. In doing so he is able to take away all these vices and create virtues within us. Through the dark night pride becomes humility, greed becomes simplicity, wrath becomes contentment, luxury becomes peace, gluttony becomes moderation, envy becomes joy, and sloth becomes strength. No soul will ever grow deep in the spiritual life unless God works passively in that soul by means of the Dark Night. (Saint John of the Cross)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    It's not necessary that everyone go through "Dark Nights" as Emmett Fox explains in Sermon on the Mount. He doesn't call them "Dark Nights" in his book, but is the term I have seen repeatedly used and so will call it that. It's that time where effectually you're in an inward clash: The ego vs the spirit. Which will win?

    Or even in the Buddhist phlosophy...will you continue to have pain and simply aggrandize your ego to a higher attatchment or striving in order to continue to outrun the pain or will you now face it head on and cease suffering?

    Saint John phrases it differently but in *my philosophy* it is not an imposing or punishment God places on anyone; It's simply another phase of pruning some of us must take based entirely off our own egos. The bright side, in my experience, is that after every dark night another awakening. Then it's time for the next lesson.

    Oh and in order to avoid the Dark Night altogether? That's easy. Transcend your karma, your ego, and understand that God is the source of all and that nothing is in this world by mistake. Well. That's very simplified isn't it? This is why reading various spiritual texts is beneficial to me. One may have a phrase I completely understand and then it will make sense.
