The Dark Night of the Soul
11/09/2004 05:49 a.m.
St. John: "the soul perceives itself to be so unclean and miserable that it seems as if God had set Himself against it."

Paul Levy: "During this dark night, we, as an ego, experience our utter impotence and powerlessness. We seem to be caught in an infinite double-bind, and might be afraid that we are going crazy. At times it even feels like we have fallen into the depths of hell."

St. John: "the soul can do so little at this state; like a prisoner in a gloomy dungeon, bound hand and foot, it can not stir, neither can it see or feel any relief, either from above or below..."

Jung: "when the soul embraces and accepts suffering, the pain reveals itself as the birth pangs of a new inner being"
