What Is The Dark Night Of The Soul?

[Jacobsen]

Yes i could just look it up but i want to hear your personal experience of what it is. This is something that i've been wondering about what exacly can be defined as a dark night of tge soul and never truly found a clear answer to. 

Is it a "period of life" that was particurlarly painfull and resulted in a lot growing? I have been through that personally and i used to think that that was a dark night of the soul. But now i find it hard to be certain on anything.

Is it the entire journey of the spirit until "enlightenment"?

Is it basically "spiritual puberty". Something goes through once as they awaken.

Is a "mini" dark soul of the night a thing? Could you experience multiple.

What are the exact characteristics of a dark soul of the night? Is it all healing and release of sadness and hurt or is it realizing "impearmance" and putting that into context with your life (and subsequently dealing the emotions there of)?

To be unconscious of your actions, your thoughts, your feelings creates your dark night of the soul. The definition of mysticism is the transformation of the dark night of the soul into a light night of the soul.
