โWhen God wants to awaken you, He doesnโt add. He subtracts.โ
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 โ 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 โ you lose what is not aligned with your soul.
