“When God wants to awaken you, He doesn’t add. He subtracts.”

Every spiritual seeker eventually walks through a season of loss, confusion, and sacred silence. This is not failure. This is what the mystics call the Dark Night of the Soul — a time when your ego dissolves, your illusions collapse, and your soul is stripped bare before the Divine.

It is terrifying.
It is divine.
And it is necessary.

In this holy undoing, you do not lose your life — you lose what is not aligned with your soul.

The Dark Night is not your punishment.
It is your passage.
It is where all that is false crumbles — and your true essence rises.

“You are not lost. You are shedding what can no longer rise with you.”

Do not run from your undoing.
Sit in it. Bless it.
Let it birth your truth.
