Dark Night of the Soul by Andrew Harvey
Description
Discover how to manage suffering, release the layers of your false self, and open yourself to the Divine light that is always present – even in the midst of your despair.
Explore prayers, mantras, and powerful visualizations to help you get through difficult times – practices that you will use throughout your life.
It is God’s grace to scare you to bring you to safety.
– Rumi
Are you in a dark or uncertain part of your life path … when everything familiar seems to disappear?
You may be experiencing a divorce, the loss of a loved one, or struggling with illness or financial hardship.
Even in the most difficult moments of our lives, there are friendly forces acting in our best interest, ensuring that no matter how dimly the light of the Divine shimmers in the darkness of our despair, it carries with it the promise of rebirth.
The “Dark Night of the Soul,” originally dubbed by the 16th century Spanish poet and Roman Catholic mystic Saint John the Baptist, is inherently emotionally painful and disorienting …
… but without this you cannot develop … This is a powerful initiation and the greatest secret of the true mystical path.
It prepares you for rebirth in the form in which you were originally born. And if you know how to navigate this dark area with awareness, you can become more awakened and more deeply connected with the Divine – the first step towards evolution into the consciously embodied divine human that you are destined to become.
The dark night of the soul is the mystical passage through which the ego, or “false self,” dies and the true self is resurrected.
However, getting rid of the inauthentic layers of your self is not easy. Societal, cultural conditioning, and our own misconceptions and negative beliefs tend to threaten the ego, which clings to the familiar and fears destruction.
Yet the death of the false self lies at the heart of the soul’s true dark night. Experiencing trauma, loss, betrayal, or deep depression takes us into darkness, where they are used as the seed for the mill of your spiritual unfoldment, bringing you closer to the Divine and preparing you for a more authentic and sacred life.
As bestselling author and mystic scholar Andrew Harvey describes his own experiences …
Oh God, what I thought was destruction is resurrection. What I thought was death is eternal life. What I thought was the end was the end of one life and the beginning of another, unimaginably more beautiful and powerful.
Each of us is called into darkness at one time or another; perhaps right now you are experiencing anxiety, depression of this very human process …
As you journey through the dark night of the soul with Andrew, you will learn powerful practices for navigating the dark times in your life … approaches that honor the darkness of your journey by welcoming the light of the Divine.
These powerful practices were developed by Andrey during his own dark night, which lasted a full decade. According to Andrei, they have tremendous power in the spiritual realm, if you approach them correctly – with humility, reverence and deep devotion.
Through prayer, mantras and deep visualizations, you will learn how to connect more deeply with the Divine in those moments of your life when this connection is so necessary. This divine attunement will continue to shine its healing light on all aspects of your life, even after the dark clouds have cleared.
Over the course of 10 modules on this powerful journey with Andrew, you will:

The Importance of Sacred Guidance
The mystics in all traditions of wisdom over the centuries have experienced the dark night of the soul, an unknowable mystery, as an initiation to even greater transformation.
It is a journey that is further enriched with wise guidance and a spiritual community of sincere seekers who can offer support and inspiration.
Fortunately, a gifted teacher has been called to collect transformational wisdom in our mystical lines and connect it to our present times.
This man is Andrew Harvey, a renowned mysticism teacher and spiritual activist.
You may know Andrew as a prolific author or editor of over 30 books and spiritual classics including Essential Mystics, The Son of Man, Wild Grace and Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism. If you haven’t read his work or heard him speak, prepare to be surprised.
Andrew is one of the world’s leading sacral scholars who has published works that span the entire spectrum of esoteric traditions, from Christianity to Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. Andrew is one of the few people who have become spiritually close to so many great teachers in so many bloodlines.
He is one of the most inspired and brilliant speakers on the topic of esoteric spirituality and sacred activism. He is also one of the most popular online shift teachers for his deep teachings on the path of Christ and the path of passion.
Andrew knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that the world is on the edge of an abyss and that it is time to bring back our most powerful and effective spiritual technologies so that we can prevent our crises and joyfully transform ourselves and our world.
He knows that ancient spiritual practices hold important keys for our individual and collective healing and awakening. He is dedicated to bringing the depths of these traditions to you so that you can embody more of the boundless divinity, joy and wonder that you hold within you.
Andrew’s teaching suits Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, pagans, those who are “spiritual but not religious” … in fact, anyone who is on the path of growth, transformation and service.
An expert guide for navigating these dark times
Together, we are clearly experiencing the dark night of the soul as a species, which means that those of us who are more sensitive, alert, or awake are much more likely to experience this darkness on a personal level. And if we don’t meet this face to face, we won’t be able to offer our greatest service.
This advanced program with Andrew offers a powerful medicine you can apply when you feel lost and abandoned in the dark alleys of your journey, as well as practices that can provide comfort, support, and inspiration if and when you find yourself in the throes of your own dark night. …
And, perhaps, there is no teacher in the world who knows more about how to navigate the dark night of the soul than Andrei. Not only is he one of the most eminent mystics in the world, he has been repeatedly brought to his knees by life’s difficulties … only to be reborn with greater strength, humility, and a deep commitment to service.
Lost in sorrow, the idea that time will heal your pain can be incomprehensible. And yet, the voice of the Spirit constantly whispers this promise to you:
No matter how long the night is, dawn will still come.
– African proverb

In this 10-part transformational program, Andrew guides you through the core teachings he created as a result of his own ten-year dark soul night.

Module 1: Understanding the Dark Night from Mystical Traditions: The Decay of Your False Self and the Attraction of Your New Self
Rumi wrote: “The grapes of my body can only become wine after the winemaker tramples me.”
In the dark night of the soul, as Christian and Sufi mystics understand it, the beloved himself (or she herself) personally “tramples” the “complete” I of the seeker. This trampling is not a punishment, but a wild grace …. and opens the most important birth canal for the emergence of a stronger, more devoted and passionately involved personality.
This process, as was known to both St. John of Krestovsky and Rumi, consisted of two main components: the systematic, individually selected disintegration of the false self, created throughout life by bad habits, and the emergence of the true, essential self through a series of ecstatic and inspiring visionary experiences.

Module 2: Surrendering and Preparing for Rebirth: Discovering Your Essential Self
The main characteristic of the dark night of the soul is its overwhelming, all-consuming power.

When the divine consciousness begins to rise from the ashes of the old self, it is important to understand that a new kind of human being is being born, the incarnate divine man. And in order to make this transition, it is necessary to consciously work with the Divine Consciousness, which you open as your essential “I” …

This process will inevitably lead to the awakening of shadows, many of which you may not have suspected before. This is completely natural.
Andrew will share his experience of how, for example, the lust for power in the mind hides in recesses, how the heart’s renewed drive for passionate compassion for others can be sabotaged, and how the body, even in the midst of transformation, can resist deep-seated resistances.

Module 9: Sacred Activism: Turning Pain into Joy and Personal Suffering into Work to Free the World
The dark night is the prelude to awakening. It is an urgent call for your soul to retreat into darkness where friendly forces can be called upon to expand your consciousness so that you can emerge from the cocoon of darkness and delusion into the light of enlightened awareness.
In your darkest hour, you may feel empty and forsaken, but isolation is an illusion, the Divine remains as close to you as your next breath. Only when you pass through the darkness will you fully appreciate the prophetic words of Kahlil Gibran: “You cannot reach dawn except through the night.”
The inevitable outcome of the dark night is transformation, which results in the birth of a new divine human centered on justice and transformative sacred action – an evolution that offers great hope for the creation of the Holy of the new world.

Create a network of grace in your life

Dark Night and the Path of Sacred Activism
Audio dialogue between Andrew Harvey and Matthew Fox
In Matthew Fox’s stunning vision of spiritual theology of the spirituality of creation, the dark night he calls Via Negativa, follows the Triumphal and glorious Via Transformativa, a path of radical commitment to sacred action on every level that leads to the deification of heart, mind and body – and the birth of a new species human being: divine man. These two celebrated mystic scholars explore this transition from dark night to empowered divine humanity in ways that Matthew’s amazing vision, drawn from the depths of Christian mysticism, makes us accessible and vivid to us.
Matthew Fox is a prolific author of books that renew the ancient tradition of creation spirituality. This tradition is feminist, welcoming arts and artists, wisdom-oriented, prophetic, and caring for environmental justice, social justice and gender justice. Fox’s attempt to awaken the West to its own mystical tradition included the revival of the consciousness of Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, and the mysticism of Thomas Aquinas, as well as interactions with modern scholars who are also mystics. He believes that “by reinventing labor, education and worship we can bring about a nonviolent revolution on OUR PLANET,” and has dedicated himself to this vision for many years, most recently formulating 95 theses for a new Reformation of Christianity.
Fox founded the University of Creation Spirituality in Oakland, California in 1996 and was president and professor until 2005. He now serves as a mentor, spokesperson, and professor at the Fox Institute for Spirituality Building in Boulder, Colorado, which was founded by former students. He regularly speaks to professional and community gatherings around the world and has spearheaded the renewal of liturgical forms with a “cosmic mass” that mixes dance, techno and live music, DJ, VJ, rap and contemporary art forms with Western liturgical tradition. He is the recipient of the Abbey of Peace Prize for Courage of Conscience; other laureates included the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa and Rosa Parks. In addition to his responsibilities at the Fox Institute for Spirituality of Creation, he is also a Visiting Scholar at the Academy for Love Learning in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
