I am extremely sensitive to words and energies / vibrations. “Dark Night of the Soul” is another term I hear quite often in conversations and workshops and see in written form in both traditional religious and metaphysical communities. I place this term in the same category as “The Divine Unknowing”—a term that every time I hear it uttered and see it in written form, something inside of me responds: NOT!

As always, when seeking answers to my deeper questions, I choose to dive deeper by going within. I explored why I was experiencing such a profoundly visceral and vibrational reaction to hearing that term. During one meditation in particular, I asked this question, and this is what came forth:

• Everyone has a soul.
• Soul is an aspect of God—God Within.
• Souls are always—and always will be—perfect and whole.
• Souls can never be damaged.
• Souls can never be hurt nor harmed.
• Souls remain intact as pure loving light energy.
• As God Within, Souls can never experience a “dark night.”

As a human

• We all have a personality; an ego.
• It is our personality/ego that experiences “dark nights.”

After these types of explorations, I then ask for more vibrationally accurate ways to express the concept and support a positive flow of energy toward clarity. This is what was revealed:

• I am experiencing a challenge with ___________.
• Although I am experiencing confusion and sadness, God’s got this. God’s got me.

Friendly suggestion:

When your personality/ego experiences pain, sadness, confusion—any disturbance of any kind— go within.
