You must go through it, not around it.
I’m going to get real here with you. I don’t live in total certainty and happiness all the time, as I believe I should if I am going to preach about spirituality. I should have the answers and be able to integrate them. But it’s a long road to self-love and enlightenment, and a lonely one, I might add. I have many of the spiritual answers and I am blessed with the ability to articulate them, but being a living example of their power is another story entirely.
One of my followers recently said to me, “Emily thank you for all of your writing about the dark night of the soul, you are truly an expert on the subject.” And I realized that this is true, but in order to get here, I had to go through actual hell. The dark night of the soul isn’t something you want to be an expert on, trust me. Just like you should never wish to be an expert on twin flames. To acquire such expertise, one must be put through the gauntlet. Although it is the only way to have a spiritual awakening, it is not something I’d wish on anyone.
I’m still walking through a dark tunnel, hoping for a light at the end, and guiding myself only by blind faith. I have never lost the belief that everything is happening for a reason and that the universe is ordered perfectly. I don’t believe the universe is cruel. But sometimes I don’t know the reasons that things happen and I feel shrouded in darkness.
Sometimes, being in a human body is too much to bear. Human life requires so much ignorance and darkness as we must descend to a very heavy level of existence.
There isn’t always a solution or a set of instructions for getting through it. Often, the only solution is to endure it.
My clients often come to me looking for a solution and they become disillusioned when all I have to offer is wisdom. Sometimes there is no solution. In the most difficult of spiritual tests, the only thing you can do is endure and find a reason to keep going.
There’s no emergency exit or pilot ejection seat. The only way out is to go through it. You can’t avoid it, go back, or bypass your way out of it. The more you try to scramble up the walls to find a secret passage a hack, the harder the whole journey will be. The more you try to find a clever cure, the more sick you’ll get. There are no quick fixes, bandaids, or miracle elixirs on this path.
So, that’s why I am still here and I keep going. I see myself walking through the tunnel with one foot in front of the other, with no expectations, and yet often, very depressed. I am lost in the dark, hopeless, and full of despair as I simultaneously put on a face of strength for the world to see. I believe that I am here to inspire and give strength to the collective, so I do my best. I still have the strength to endure and take one step at a time, therefore I muster up the strength to tell others about it, too.
I do not give in. Although I have my moments when I feel I’ve hit rock bottom, I never surrender to the darkness completely. The light that guides me emanates from my sustained efforts and my faith.
It is a dark night of the soul because the soul loses its path when it’s incarnated as a human being. But all the light has not gone out. There remains a light that can only be seen when I withdraw my focus from the physical plane and go within. I’m the light.
Maybe my words will find someone out there who needs to hear them. Maybe my footsteps will clear the path for someone to walk behind me. Perhaps I can make my light bright enough to show the way for others. After I’ve figured it out a bit more on my own, hopefully, I can pass on that wisdom.
The only way out of this is to keep faith and walk the path, and the only reason to keep doing so is that you might discover something worthwhile up ahead. I believe that discovery is all about helping humanity evolve. What is more worthwhile than offering real value to people so that they, too, might walk this path with a little more confidence?
