First of three paths that guide the soul through a dark night, that
tests the driving emotions, aspirations and intellect . A period of
emptiness, stagnation and suffering that follows upon the initial
illumination and which, through creating a state of impotency and
despair, paves the way for a more lasting and secure unitive experience,
leads to a stronger faith, or acceptance of opposites. The self
considering itself 'spiritual', elevated above the sensual plane, is
forced to turn back.
