The Dark Night of the Soul

Description

Are you losing it? – or getting it?

What happens when the mind begins to change in ways that are difficult to understand? When familiar reality begins to shift into phantasy, our sense of self becomes destabilised, and internal thoughts and voices, and external experiences, move into territory that can feel frightening, profound or extraordinary. How do we make sense of what is happening?

This entirely original analysis explains the striking similarities between the psychological experience and internal dynamics of psychosis and the mystical experiences of the Dark Night of the Soul, first described in the writings of St John of the Cross and St Teresa of Ávila, together with strategies for navigating the narrow path to enlightenment.

“We have a heartbreak before a mind break”
Carole Sawo

This is a different way of understanding an experience that has traditionally been viewed, and often misunderstood, only through psychiatric language. This audio recording uniquely describes the stage process of both chaos and a spiritual awakening, and how to navigate it through an understanding of depth psychology, psychoanalysis, metaphysics, and mysticism.
