I love what Daniel said about passivity to emotions and thoughts. I definitely see a lot of people bypass this way. Character development never stops people
@@awakeningtobehuman Exactly, also called spiritual bypassing. Strong muscles are developed with heavy weights. In my experience, developing the capacity to feel and stay present during difficult times and strong emotions and the accompanying stories that flood your mind during it, brings the most growth of awareness. If you want to find out how Enlighted you are, spend a long time with a dysfunctional, abusive family or any hard circumstances and be challenged by it
It may seem obvious..could you speak to the benefits to the Whole and how this is so much more than a mental experience and how the Heart is involved leading to true compassion and the experience that there are truly no others❤
These are great points to explore. When you say 'benefits of this', what do you mean by 'this'? And when you speak of 'the Whole', what do you mean by it? I just want to make sure I understand what you are asking about. The more specific your questions are, the easier it is to address them. Thank you.
About that whole part of "if you'r fine, be fine and don't get into this" part. Theres no doubt that the path can get really messy and hard for some people. But eventually everybody will grow old and suffer, everybody will have big moments of failure, everybody will know grief profoundly. Especially in the world in which we live today (perspectives of ww3, pandemies, global warming, ai uncertainty...). So I'd be really curious to know Daniel's opinion. If you live in today's world, does a decade of intermittent pain and grief caused by dark nights are not objectively worth liberation ?
@@jazn271 no problem. I understand if people have questions for the guests specifically. I can only speak of my experience instead of sharing a general view. In my case, the various dark nights, and in particular the last one, were a sort of passageway to the experiences that followed: Emptiness: the dissolution of separation, Nothingness, and what I call Isness, which is what was left when the sense of 'me' as the 'doer' dissolved. It was beyond worth it. I would go through it again for the Freedom that's on 'the other side'.

Not much good podcasts out there about the dark night of the soul, so much appreciated.
'Bliss' and 'enlightenment' sound way more appealing! ;)

I’ve been suicidal for at least 9yrs. I lost everything and everyone. I hate and detest myself 😢😢😢

I'm not sure Daniel will be back or whether he reads comments, so your question (since it is directed to him) may be left unanswered.
@@awakeningtobehuman Oh ok, I'm curious to know your opinion too tho
