Dark Night of The Soul Part 2

The Dark Night of The Soul is an aspect of life that we can all experience.

There is no escaping it.

To live is to have this experience - it's part of the game.

It's a paradox that gives life its juice, we as humans provide the existential meaning to the things that happen in our lives.

Life is inherently empty and meaningless and yet, it doesn't mean anything that it's empty and meaningless.

From the minute we make our entrance into this world and take our first breath, the clock starts ticking.

The game of loss begins

Learning how to mange life through loss is where we find our deepest treasures.

Losing something we value is an opportunity to grow and re-create.

Meaning and the story we make up about any lose determines how we move forward.

The Dark Night of The Soul is brutal and yet can be profoundly liberating. All the things we once held dear loose their power over us.

Peace can be found in acceptance and letting go.

We came into this world with nothing.

We leave with nothing.

Learning to live with nothing and still be full is to my mind the quest towards spiritual freedom.

We are in this world but not of it.

John 17: 16 "16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world."
