Spiritual Healing from the Dark Night of the Soul

19. SEEING THROUGH ILLUSIONS:        
I saved this tip for last. Because this tip will not help unless all the other lessons have been realized within your heart and soul. This tip comes right near the end of the Dark Night. It doesn’t help when you are deep in it because it feels so real due to your hold on fear.
When I heard this tip, deep in the Dark Night, it caused more frustration, anger, pain, and guilt because I wasn’t ready to let go. But when we let go of fear and face it, we start to see that the Dark Night was never real.
The Dark Night just like the ego only seems to happen within your mind. All of the “demons” of fear and guilt were really angels in disguise. Hell was really Heaven waiting to be embraced. You were in a nightmare, but now you are waking up.
When you are fully present in this moment, there is no Dark Night. No more fear of the future or regretting the past. You embrace everything because there is no other choice that would leave you happy and at peace. And your happiness is all that matters to you now.
When you are ready to emerge from the Dark Night, then you won’t even be trying to get out of the Dark Night. No more fighting. The adamant seeker, addict, warrior, fighter has been let go of, it has died in a way, making room for your true Self-filled with Peace and Love to shine through.
Because you see that it was an illusion. And to want to get out of something means you are making it real. The Dark Night is a defense against the Truth. Because Truth heals all illusions. It is the very last line of defense.
When you realize that this is your own doing, you have the Power to RISE.
Even though when you are in the Dark Night, it feels like you are stuck, it is actually you that is holding onto the Dark Night.
Going back to the fear of the unknown lesson, our eyes have been closed for so long that we fear the Light that we ARE. We have become used to virtual realities and games for so long. But when we are ready, all we need to do is open our eyes to reality. And SEE that we have always been Home.
The main things to know are:
1. You are not alone. 2. Nothing has gone wrong, no matter what the mind says. 3. It will naturally pass when you allow it to. 4. With a shift in perception, you can see this experience as Divinely for you and not against you. 5. You have the Power to choose Love or fear.
