Going through a Dark Night of the Soul? Make Sure You Watch This! - Eckhart Tolle Explains

I've been suffering from Long Covid for over two years now. It had stripped away all that I thought I was. I can not exist how I used to and my ego is definitely dying. I lost my job, wife, house, ability to exercise, mental sharpness and balance. Months ago I was tetering on existence. I am still in the grips of the Dark Night of the Soul but somehow everyday, I manage to put one foot in front of the other. This must be my true self carrying forward. I try and remain hopeful that better days are to come but sometimes, it really is lot to handle. I have deepened my empathy to a level I never knew existed so I guess that's as good a place as any to start from. I truly wish everyone reading this a good life and a positive outcome from our current state of the world. Thank you.

When they said she was going crazy, she was awakening. When they said that she was isolating, she was healing. When they said she was acting funny, she was growing. When they said that she had changed, she was evolving. When they said she did not care anymore, she finally realized that her peace lives within.

I'm in a dark night of the soul right now. I've completely lost my identity and my old life has collapsed beneath me. Terrifying, but I'm trying to find my way. Nothing seems to matter anymore. I am so grateful for this message by Eckhart Tolle. It has been like a breadcrumb on the path and has helped to explain the predicament I find myself in at this point on my journey. To anyone else out there going through this, Hang in there and know you are not alone.

Sending hugs to anyone healing emotionally right now. You are not alone. You are loved. 💙

Often have dark nights of the soul as a mother who lost two sons recently One to suicide , my son was intelligent and a father to my only grandchild 😢 The other son had been extremely successful in business , he didn’t lack anything However , his life to a turn for the worst , he became homeless , a drug addict And eventually on life support in hospital , a decision was made to release him From Life support , he died 20mins later , and before he died he was able to expel A teardrop from his left eye , letting me know he was so sorry to be leaving us . Heartbreaking 💔 leading to my own Dark Night of the Soul Yet have survived due to greater happiness in the knowledge his was not the reality of all of our lives , my sons had also lived very positive lives amen 🙏 Mary Canada 🇨🇦

I lost my mind, not in an delusional way—in a purposeful way. I lost my persona. I was always a goal oriented person with courage. I suddenly couldn’t even choose items at the store. My hands started to shake, I became homeless. I could only sit at the coffee shop and stare out the window. I just kept going without a purpose. It was the change of life circumstances that slowly but gradually started to show me that I was to believe in the universe over myself because I was no longer in control. I realize now how blessed I was and how I am GRATEFUL to have made it through!

I had this in Oct. 2007. It was extreme and radical. I thought I was dying. All I can say is if someone goes through something like that is just calm yourself and trust God. Ride it out.

- I just want to let anyone who’s reading this, and going through a tough time know that it’s going to be okay. You’ll get through it! ✨

"The more you surrender, the more quickly you go through it. Surrender means don't judge it anymore. You accept whatever it is that you experience at this moment." "Not everybody has to go through that. For many people, the awakening process starts and begins without that." "Allow life to do what it does." Thank you Eckhart.

I had a conversation with my family last night about finding my purpose in life and I asked many existential questions about our lives. They just want me to follow the typical norm of getting a degree, find a job, make a living for life. Recently, I had a spiritual awakening and everything I believed is crumbling down. I just feel like nothing even matters to me anymore. I just want to disassociate from the society to live in peace and be aligned with my true authentic self. Everybody calls me crazy. Eventually, the conversation turned into a heated argument, It was literally so depressing that I ended up leaving the room in tears. Later, I ended up spending the rest of the night alone in my room and spent a long time doing meditation to release the negativity. Deep down, I do trust the process. It is all a part of the transformation for the greater good, if somebody can relate to this, I just want to say keep moving forward, the universe will reward those that dares to follow their hearts! Peace! 🙏

I’ve had a few dark nights of the soul, firstly after narcissistic abuse and then again when repressed childhood trauma surfaced. It came in stages and I experienced a lot of pain, but when i I faced it, it dissolved and transmuted into deep bliss and love ❤❤❤

The profound emptiness will become filled with light and joy after. Best of wishes for anyone going through the dark night period

I picked up my 4yr old from school and was watching a video of yours. She asked, "Mommy, what are you doing?" I said, watching my favorite spiritual mentor speak, his name is Eckhart Tolle. She repeated your name in question form, w/her lil child like voice. I said Yes... Eckhart, the one who wrote a book that changed my life forever! She seemed very curious so I paused the video and showed her your picture. She looked at you w/this surprised face, like she knew you, then pointed at you, and said OOOOHHH Yeah!! I LIKE HIM MOMMY! I replied, I like him too honey... mommy loves him! Thank You for ALL YOU ARE Eckhart! 🙏❤️🙏🙇‍♀️

The ego dies. The soul awakes.

I am in perfect health I am strong and polite I have a healthy mind body and soul I love myself I accept everyone

Sometimes it's hard to believe that this "dark night of the soul" is for a higher purpose; it seems like it's just pain, with no purpose, no meaning, that we are forgotten in this life. But it's comforting to think that there's a greater purpose to it.

My dark night of the soul was my sons suicide. I have realised since that he left this earthly realm because his body was not working for him anymore. He was the brightest light that now shines in the universe… I can’t wait until we meet again 🙏❤️

i recently went through this myself, Eckhart explained it perfectly. Nothing made me happy anymore, nothing made me feel better anymore, i had lost complete touch with reality, as soon as i woke up i just couldn't wait until i could go to sleep again.., it's painful. But whoever is going through it rn, reality wants you to become the person you were meant to be, but to do that you're old self must be destroyed. It might seem scary, but it wouldn't happen to you if you wouldn't be able to handle it. We are never in control anyways, that's just what the ego believes, we can't change what happens only how we react to it. Surrender to the experience and just accept whatever you're dealing with. This too shall pass

I have complex PTSD. I live in the dark night every day. Yet, I still have hope to heal. Listening to Eckart gives me a sense of peace.
