Has anyone else been through the dark night of the soul?
How did you get through it. What did you find on the other side.

Proverbs 3.
Bismillah.
"And if Allah touch thee with affliction, there is none to remove it but He. And if He touch thee with good, He is Possessor of power over all things. And He is the Supreme, above His servants. And He is the Wise, the Aware." 6:17-18 Holy Qur'an.
when our nafs/ego is about to go through a transition into other realms of consciousness... sometimes we experience a Dark Night of the Soul. it is all a blessing when properly understood inshallah.
hope this helps. light and love on your journey...
wa salaams.

Yes. It was a very very scary time.
I actually did a lot of physical labor, forcing myself to live vicariously through effort alone. I separated myself from some of the things that had driven me to this dark night. On the other side, I found a stronger me, but one with scars, and a bit more distrust. Ultimately this has all sublimated more into a bit of wisdom won from experience, the scars fade more and more each year.

I used to have very deep depression on a regular basis, ,the two things that I believe "cured" me are:
1. Cannabis
2. Loosing faith in religion (and consequently gaining faith in myself)
