A collective dark night?

Post by Soul_of_Shu »

The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation. When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life and all that is needed ~ Joseph Campbell

Can this 'dark night of the soul' be extrapolated from the individuated psyche to the collective scale, and be what awaits humanity still?

Here out of instinct or grace we seek
soulmates in these galleries of hieroglyph and glass,
where mutual longings and sufferings of love
are laid bare in transfigured exhibition of our hearts,
we who crave deep secrets and mysteries,
as elusive as the avatars of our dreams.

Great question!
Be calm - Be clear - See the faults - See the suffering - Give your love
