When Everything You've Relied On Stops Working
Have you ever felt like the ground beneath your feet was dissolving? Perhaps the spiritual practices that once brought comfort now feel hollow. Maybe the beliefs that anchored your identity suddenly seem like empty words. Or the relationships you thought defined you have inexplicably shifted. This isn't failure-it's the beginning of something far more profound than most of us recognize. What if the very moments when we feel most lost are actually when we're being found? This paradox lies at the heart of a spiritual process that has quietly shaped countless lives across centuries, yet remains widely misunderstood. It's not reserved for saints or mystics in monasteries. It happens to the executive questioning her purpose, the parent watching children leave home, the believer whose certainties have crumbled. This sacred unraveling-called the dark night of the soul-isn't about suffering for suffering's sake. It's about liberation from the invisible chains we didn't even know were binding us. Think of the dark night as spiritual surgery performed without anesthesia you can feel. It's the process of being freed from attachments and compulsions so subtle you never noticed them controlling your life. The term "dark" doesn't mean evil or sinister-it means mysterious, working beneath conscious awareness where your ego can't interfere and sabotage the transformation. This happens to everyone in varying degrees throughout life, not just during catastrophic events. It might look like suddenly questioning a career you've built for decades, feeling inexplicably distant from a long-held faith, or recognizing that the person you thought you were doesn't quite fit anymore. Here's the catch: the darkness protects the process from your interference. If you could see exactly what you were being asked to relinquish-your need for control, your carefully constructed identity, your secret pride in being "spiritual"-you'd resist with everything you have. It's like trying to perform surgery on yourself while watching in a mirror. Your defenses would make the necessary cuts impossible.
