Dark Night

There is more to the Dark Night

There is more to it.
The solitary aspect of it.
The inner personal strivings and stillness.
The essential core of individual surrender being ravaged through irreconcilable
realities.

The sensation of loss without losing.
The minds eye viewing the transformation of the ego and yet still being able to
know and remember that which was and is
Is still there.

Being abandoned within a glorious garden of comprehensible confusion.
A beautiful matrix of experience without reference points.
Following a solitary inverse illumination as you turn and turn and turn.
Turning within.
Turning around.
Most of the dark night cannot be.

Dark Nights within the Sea of the Void

The dark night and the void are indeed a point of learning in my experience. A
linear conceptualization of this can be given in that one can be suffused and
used for the purpose of learning much in the same way that the sea is used in
learning how to swim. The void would be the sea and the "dark night" would be
the individuals personal journey within it.

The learning within it.

There is so much more to understand but most of these understandings are
experiential in their scope. One needs to actually get in the water and swim!
Kundalini doesnt give much in the way of warnings for the introduction of this
experience merely again and again it will place one in the waves of the void
allowing the individual to be washed hither and yon by the currents and riptides
as they are held in the immense arms of the Mother Kundalini who comes right in
with you. Much the same way that a mother holds her baby in the waves allowing
them the little learning's first.

It can be a repeated and seemingly endless experience and set of experiences.

Little experiences open us to bigger ones and even though size comparisons do
not equate within this divine context they can be used for the limited five
sense mind to open into comprehension that which is beyond its reference points.

The key is to not fear the absolute strangeness that one can be placed in. Think
of the baby being held by its mother in the foam and tiny wavelets of the sea.
Think of what that experience with the sounds and the wind and the touch of the
cold water upon new skin.

Think of the fear that can course through the child as such an expanse of the
sea is experienced with out any overt reference point. Then add to that the
sound of shore birds and the scurrying of crabs and screams of other children as
they play. Inside of these many and varied experiences add the thrumming of
survival as life is killed and consumed by other life right there on the beach!

It could be unnerving for anyone....and it is. You have a warning that the child may not have.

So is the void and the dark night cleansing's and balancing's somewhat strange and therefore fearful and yet you now have information. We need the dark
night. We do not all need to fear it but some of us do. Fear is a great teacher
and we learn the lessons that "stick" to the consciousness when we learn them
through fear. So fear in this way is very useful as a learning tool.

So I suggest that these thoughts be considered when one ponders or experiences
the dark nights within the sea of the void. - blessings - chrism
