Don't be intimidated by the title "Dark Night of the Soul". There are so many false conceptions of what the Dark Night is. For many, the title evokes great fear, leaving people to stay as far from it as possible. It's greatly misunderstood. Some believe when the Dark Night comes, great punishment, physical suffering and great tragedy are present. And then there are many who think this journey comes only to the super spiritual. It isn't a one-time experience. It appears throughout our whole life.

In reality the Dark Night is life's greatest journey. A journey into the loving arms of God. It is a place of great desire that follows us our whole life. The Dark Night leads us to an encounter with the "Real God". The God whose loves is greater that we can imagine and whose presence is beyond our comprehension! 

 

The Dark Night is something you don't want to miss. You'll find great healing and a liberation from attachments and compulsions! It is a place of great reconciliation and resurrection. It is the night that forms us to experience the abundance, joy and the freedom Christ promises for us to live and love more freely.

 

Come explore the Dark Night during The Meadow's Spiritual Development Forum, a place to exhale and trust. A place to not fear and a place to be honest. Let yourself be carried by God and rest in the darkness! "Breathe it in until your heart breaks and EXHALE!"   Plumb
