Your Dark Night...

Have you heard of the dark night of the soul.  From Gregg Braden’s WALKING BETWEEN THE WORLDS, The Science of Compassion:  ‘Definition: Your ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ is a time, as well as an experience in life, wherein you may be drawn into a situation or circumstance representing, what appears for you, to be  your worst fear.
Corollary:  You are capable of entering a “Dark Night of the Soul” only when you have amassed all of the emotional tools necessary to see you through your experience intact and with grace.”
Remember that we have been told that God gives us only what we are capable of handling?
What if that terrible thing that is happening to you, that low time of your life, has come into your life in order for you to show that you have the ability to handle it.  Sometimes the lows in our life seem so terrible that we cannot possibly think we can handle it  or get past it. Sometimes we get so used to ‘being down’ that we fail to see it as a challenge to prove our mastery over what life gives us.  There is a sunrise to our Dark Nights.  Believe it and look for the way to move out of those lows.  Ask for help if needed.  Believe that it is possible that you have the emotional tools to take you through the dark.
