Much love and namaste,
Julie
This earth feels like a personalized hell. I'm tired.
Wow, I feel like this as well, life is torture, I cannot understand how some people are connected to it, I can’t fathom what they are connecting to. I too am exhausted.
@@mandywaddington3814 It is weird. I start loving and accepting it and then something happens or an Emotional crash comes and progress evaporates. Disheartening
I 100% agree. With all this evil what happens in this world, it’s hard to keep it together..
I have felt the same, like all that is given to me is pain. I realized the only way foward is through the pain. You gotta face it, feel it, even if destroys you, if life gives you poison, you drink the poison. It is the only way to stop running and hiding and then you can actually be free.
Don’t give up Joseph, I’m finally out the other side and I really thought this time would never come!! It’s been years and years of constant trials and tribulations, and I’m finally entering a new life of joy!!
The path to enlightenment is not an easy path. You'll feel much pain along the way. This is impermanent and will not last forever. After the dark night of the soul always comes the dawn light of the awakening. If you choose to take this path, there is no turning back. Keep going my fellow travellers, we are all on our own journey back to our true selves and oneness with everything!
I believe there can be a sudden dawn of awakening (a knowing in the heart of who you are / are not), as if by grace, after which the dark night of the soul arrives as one comes to terms with 'what is lost'. The work of letting go has to be done in a conscious way. The lure of the old identity and its familiar comforts are still present. But there can be no going back because it means that one returns to old ways with a knowledge of awakening. If you return to the pre-awakened position you are worse off that one who has no understanding of awakening. You will have deliberately rejected the fruit of awakening. Jesus said, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is worthy to serve..." Awakening is the beginning, so to speak, not the end. Awakening is the invitation. The invitation arrives when you are likely to accept the challenge and not before you are ready. I found the video really inspiring.
I went through the dark night of the soul 6 years ago after another failed marriage to a toxic predator. Looking back on it, it was crazy and well worth now feeling out all that pain until the spiritual awakening happened.
Thank you so much, so helpful❤❤
Thank u! It is just what I needed this Morning! VERY lonely feeling and painful while going through the dark night of the soul! Detachment hurts!
I understand
My dark night of the soul has gone on too long.
Great explanation and insight. Thank you.
Thank you! It lifts me up a little bit in these strange times.
This video resonated big time. Thank you love 🙏🏼
This is an excellent explanation of the DKITS. 👍🏼
Thank you. This video gave me hope again. ♥️
I'm glad to hear. It is really an end to the tunnel, but if you are going through the dark night, it requires a lot of letting go of thoughts and integrating emotions.
Really relevant video you made. Love and peace ☮️
the hangover analogy is really good, id never heard that before, i also like the idea of your body creating a fever in order to get rid of sickness or how a wound will get warm as its healing, i guess that pertains more to trauma than spiritual awakening, but they seem interconnected somehow, its like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, they have to melt first, it must be absolutely agonizing
Thank you Julie, very interesting.
Glad you liked it :)
You look just like a girl I had in my dream this morning. This universe is awesome!
I really like your analogies.
I think about it in the context of love and I’m always good alone but holding on to oneself while falling in love can be tough. That’s why when it ends I get what you’re saying - someone turned on the lights, the party’s over and it’s time to sober up! 🤣👍 thanks again.
Thank you! Hehe, yes :)
Very well put
Thank you so much . I’m in the moment of understanding it’s good for me but I can’t see how currently. I know one day I’ll look back glad I’ve went through it.
You are not alone 🙏🏻🧡
Very nice explanation. And it's worth noting, it's not a one and done per se. I thought that after going through it, and I had no idea what was happening. 2 years later I was in what felt like an even darker night of the soul, but at least I knew what was going on this time around. Now it feels like you can actually see the simulation everywhere you look. Fascinating in a way.
I agree and every journey is different. Layers of shadow will be shed and "ego deaths" will in many cases occur years later. In my experience, the identity and shadow work, also in real life situations, helps us through these phases. 🖤
I don't truly understand non-duality.
All I know is that I don't understand why people have been so cruel to me. I don't understand why I didn't get to live a much fuller life.
Over 3 years now in this state
Much love
Great explanation!
Thank you 🙏🏻😊
Yes 🙌🏽
Wow…, Very nice. You did a great job just now. I’m impressed. I love your sincerity and clarity. (-:
Complete loss of self and ability to function in this world, feels like I fell off of life, total inner collapse, retreating completely from life, like I’m not human like others anymore, difficulty interacting with others, loss of feeling ok and comfortable in the world- does this sound like a DN of the soul or something else?
definiteltt dark night
How are you doing 1 year later?
Surrender is key. Took me 50 years
What does that mean? What exactly took 50 years? And what changed at the 50th to prove that something, this "surrender" happened?
@@thealiusjones I was awake at 6 years old, from then to 15, I questioned everything, societies unwritten rules. I knew if I had been bought up on a different culture then my thoughts, morales would be different, therefore concluding that we had no free original thoughts so no real freedom. We can only think (output) based on input. I didn't know there was a way out. Childhood traumas and having a sense of no real identity I just played the game and buried everything, never being happy. Last year I had a breakdown and thought this time there is no way out. Got put on venlaxafine, felt great after 8 weeks and psych told me it's time to heal and think about withdrawing meds. With hope and motivation I discovered meditation and had about 4 weeks of pure bliss but knew harder work was to come. So here I am doing inner child healing, separating mind body and spirit. It's a journey, destination unknown. I always knew something else existed but never knew how to access it. Better late than never.
This is the only thing I kind of have thought about for a long time and still continue to wonder about. What is life? What are the limits of this universe. What are the limits of the mind? And there is something common between the universe and the mind. It is the infiniteness of the thought is actually the same as the infiniteness of the projection that we see. That is something very weird.
I have exactly gone through the same journey.
I feel I am incarnated here!
I know how you feel :)
Going on years and it feels like something is rotting. Getting use to the stench of my formal.
I smoke weed and ive went through the most pain and suffering, i felt suicidal at some point in time, i felt a heart ache, and i was starting to lose my sight.... and then suddenly for 3 to 4 nights at around 3 am i would wake up feeling like something is being pulled from my chest area, i didnt know what it was but i felt like shouting because it was painful
Hi, thanks for this channel. I have been in this awakening process for about 5 years and I understand all the concepts you’re speaking about and experienced them first hand. I’m fully aware of this other reality of pure Love and have been born again into that reality but I’m still stuck at this crossroad where it’s like my flesh is holding me in bondage and I have surrendered up it completely but I cannot seem to get over to the other side of true reality. There’s times I have been so close to transitioning to fully waking up but somehow my mind and will is in bondage where I cannot even use the full will power of my soul to cross over fully because there’s a part of it that is not in my own will, like something else has hi-jacked it.
Any advice for this? Thank you, by the way you are extremely beautiful in a wholesome and loving type of way. God bless 🙏
Thank you for your comment and for sharing 😊 yes I understand, the «small self» with the personal will is not in charge of awakening, in fact it is what we wake up from. I will make a video about this topic and try to share my perspective there 🙏🏻
@@theexpansivejourney3570 yeah it’s quite complicated and confusing on how to navigate it. I understand that I can’t use the false self to surrender the false self but also when I surrender from the soul level and I reach a point of such Love and infusion of the true self then that false self won’t let go, or let up, and I can’t will it too either, so I feel a bit stuck. I think the issue is I’ve been through so much pain and suffering that I don’t fully trust God, who my true self is one with, so the false self that wants to remain separate from God won’t give up it’s self in surrender. It fears God and wants to run from God, so it won’t let go. Lately what I’ve been doing is acknowledging the false self doesn’t exist and only the true self is real, and I’m already there. That helps.
Really looking forward to your video. Thank you 🙌
@@ChidiOable I understand the paradox and I've struggled with the same, lack of faith. It is fear itself we are staring in the eyes and the fear of helplessness. In a sense, the false self, which is a mental and separate from the world around, is helpless since it cannot control this reality, no matter how much it tries. This is one of the most fundamental fears and very existential. I think you are brave to face it and share authentic about it. Thank you. I could make many videos about the topic of fear and surrender. We are not really in control of the surrender either. One thing though, is God still an idea in the mind? A mental idea of the very essence of your being or an actual experience? I had to let go of God too and realise all was left was I :) much love
@@theexpansivejourney3570 Thank you :) Yes, God is our very being, we are one with God. I saw God face to face, it was one body, with the mind of Christ which contained everything in the body. The same as our body, we have a “mind” and body, and in us dwells trillions of other beings, it’s the same as God, it’s one mind and body, in God we dwell, it’s only one life source, it’s all one spirit and that spirit is our true identity. I am that I am. So when I first saw God it was external and then that image I saw started to become me and then I saw a mirror and I looked in the mirror and the reflection was God as my reflection, his image as my image. We are made in God’s image. My name Chidi means “God exists” I realize the only way to the other side is to dwell in the reality that God himself is also myself, we are one. Almost there, thank you so much for the inspiration ❤️
@@ChidiOable Beautiful 🧡 thank you for sharing!
I am still in confusion and frustation from last six years, six years ago something happened to me and i tried very hard that what is happening in me but there is no answer till now. I thought dark night will fade away in one years or two but six years has gone still i am in that.
It will pass, but not without facing the pain 🖤 much love
nice lady
Thank you for this :) are you Norwegian? I had the darkest part of my dark night of the soul whilst living in Norway. I’m finally out the other side, still some residual energy shifting but am in my new chapter finally 😊
Yes I am 😊
@@theexpansivejourney3570 cool! I lived in arctic Norway and I think the intensity of the land & climate etc triggered a deep experience. So many lessons for which I’m soooo grateful but it was so hard!!!
@@kactapuzzle wow, sounds awesome! But yes the winter is really dark 🙈🖤
Sometime the shadow works you
Love that 🙏🏻
I am sure that you have had a lot of first hand experience vs learning from books and teachings. You feel like the person who has questioned everything in her life through her life. and then realized that you were fighting as a rebel but slowly questioned yourself. Why are you fighting who are you fighting and what are you fighting for and who is fighting? And then suddenly, you woke up slowly to the state. I have all what I need. So why am I fighting and rebelling.
Question: I felt fine and neutral when after I figured out about contradictions in my religious mode of thinking as I purposely delved into the depths of objective truth when I began. The basic answer to fear of the unknown is focusing on the lovely aspects of life. However, after figuring it out, it was my dad who was like a narc and there were amazing sychronicities in his interference and projection. Now I need to live life on his terms to a large extent, it seems extremely unfair in my feelings. What am I supposed to do when integrating this? Understandably his generation dealt with torture and starvation in China, and when now he is at peace, he will project that on those who he confuses as his own property. He never said a single sorry in my past, and never will. When I was young, I remember an incident where he misplaced the lunchbox and blamed me for it and smacked me and yelled at me before school. Coming back, he remembers it was his lack of memory but still acts very angry for three days and unless I apologize I can not eat. He's done that extremely well and after my graduation from high school, he projected his fear by detaining me when I realized the bullshit of reality and religion that he kept me for years. I could've gotten the provincial record for swimming early in my career but it was him in the way. He worships money launderers and stock investors and uses religion to his advantage because in his childhood he was the weakest of more than 8 siblings. He tricked me a lot with money as well, and continues to do so. He put me in the ward and continued to threaten me for resisting. My two other female family members never had the ability to think for themselves and never shouldered anything truthful.
I'm sorry to hear! I have also dealt with people with narcissistic, controlling and manipulative behaviour. I can never tell someone how to relate to their own family members, that must be an individual choice, but personally, I have zero tolerance for people that try to control and abuse me. Zero. When we heal, we no longer attract what matches unconscious wounds. My life is a toxic free zone now and I don't even engage. It just repels. Healing here can be useful together with an expert on the topic, a psychologist even. Spirituality doesn't always exclude the need to deal with trauma in that way. No human has the right to abuse another human. If you can leave and feel that would be a good choice for you, I support your decision.
@@theexpansivejourney3570 Thanks for your generous and very wise words! I'll keep them in mind. Your videos alone are very healing to me. It puts me in a relaxed state for sure.
What to do to overcome this, examples please
Does the dark night of the soul make you feel disconnected from everything including your self and a really heavy dense energy that gives you brain fog
Or is that just depression
I was trying to give something up but this feeling always comes around the two to three month mark and makes me relapse , I just can’t seem to get through it but with this knowledge at least I might know what’s going on
Well, the dark night and depression is different in my experience. I was depressed in the past, but when I went into the dark night in 2018, it was different. I had very depressive symptoms including brain fog, existentialism and heavy, heavy feelings. But this was somehow beyond depression as it happened together with a massive collapse of the world I had learned to know with my identity as a part of it. Like waking up from the matrix. It was a transformation beyond anything I had ever felt as I woke up from the conceptual world of the collective mind and realised my own suffering. I don't think it is random that we start looking at videos about this topic. If you have had a shift like the one I described, you will know. Some people experience the dark night before awakening, like Eckhart Tolle and other after, like myself. Hope it helps 🖤
I really wish you the best. All I can say is be kind to yourself.
Can u do telekinesis? or other psi abilities?
No, but I haven't tried either. Awakening has nothing to with "superpowers" in my experience, but I don't deny them at all. I think it is interesting. However, my intuition has become very sharp and I have experienced a lot of telecommunication, being able to guess right and stuff like that. I believe we are connected in a collective shared mind which sometimes make us able to think the exact same thoughts if we are receptive.
Like #678
I have the impression that this presentation does not seek to help the spiritual awakening. It talks about confusion and pain what I have not experienced. On the contrary, I begin to relate to the annoyances as if another person is experiencing them.
Confusion and pain is a part of this path even though you might not go through it. And yes, of course, this presentation seeks to help people in this process ☺️
@@theexpansivejourney3570 I am on the path. I started the hatha yoga practice on the year 1976, on the year 1998 I started to practice laya yoga and karma yoga too. Until now I was faced with a lot of different difficulties but they made me stronger. And my sufferings became smaller, my mind became more clear, my health is more better, I am more optimistic and more happy.
Real way 👉🕵️🚶
I feel much better know NOT!
I signed up and confirmed subscription but nothing arrived.
On the Masterclass? Checked you spam?
@@theexpansivejourney3570 Yes. Email confirmation email arrived so I confirmed but nothing after.
@@tiiberius thank you for letting me know. I will check it up and try resending. So sorry!
@@theexpansivejourney3570 Got the email, thank you Julie. :)
@@tiiberius awesome 😊
I would love to have a girlfriend like you!😅
Ja det der Dark night of the soul er hardt og gå igjennom ! Men nok så magisk når man kommer ut i andre enden og vet alt det man vet da lol ! Uuuu er glad det er over hahaha , faen mye fylt og dritt og lort man skal arbeide igjennom , eg ler no men det gjør eg deff ikke der og da den gangen det hendte over litt laaaang tid.
Hehe, nei! Tror jeg sank lavere enn rock bottom noen ganger 😅 godt at man kommer ut igjen på andre siden 😊
@@theexpansivejourney3570 Uff jeg er glad for at UA-cam var tilgjengelig og at jeg liksom greide og forstå etterhvert hva egentlig var på gang ! LOL man føler litt at der og da at det er ingen rundt om seg man kan snakke med om det som var på gang ! Hehehe det var helt marrerit aktig men så til slutt når jeg fant ut av alt så ble det en slags kraftig nirvana stund men når jeg trodde det var over var det som en stemme kom og sa , har du virkelig mestret dette Stian og jeg jaja jeg forstår det hele jeg no lissom , at det at tanker følelser styrer alt og at man er nesten som en magnet , der stier åpner seg opp mot det man tenker og tror mest på i øyeblikket lol, så fikk jeg en laang stund til med masse frykt og alt det der man ville tenke minst på for og så svømme seg ut av det og bli sterk og greie det. Så er glad jeg kom forbi den level og gikk videre til neste steg i en uendelig sånn jobbing med seg selv og utvikling der man ser at man kan klatre opp i Mangen etasjer og der finnes Mangen dører som fører en frem i ett slags klasse rom , og meg litt nerd synes jo for det meste det er fett , men faen det tungt til tiders og ikke alltid så gøy men det er liksom ikke noe gå tilbake til søvn no så jeg klatrer videre opp de neste trinn og videre inn i neste dør ..osv
