The Dark night of the Soul is accepting the Shadow. The shadow is collectively neglected and repressed. We journey through the dark to find ourselves in a deep sea of truth. The truth is a womb of raw and real love. Real love is standing up for reality while understanding it. The Dark night of the Soul is when one journeys into the deep dark soil of their hidden projections and subconscious minds that remain in this illusionary safeness from our own judgements. As we journey to wholeness, we need to learn to accept our shadow as a conscious companion for our hearts to grow. A true test of a deep hidden beauty in the heart is the intensities born from the suffering or difficulties of being human for our soul's evolution.
