Dark Nights within the Sea of the Void

 

The dark night and the void are indeed a point of learning in my experience. A

linear conceptualization of this can be given in that one can be suffused and

used for the purpose of learning much in the same way that the sea is used in

learning how to swim. The void would be the sea and the " dark night " would be

the individuals personal journey within it.

 

The learning within it.

 

There is so much more to understand but most of these understandings are

experiential in their scope. One needs to actually get in the water and swim!

Kundalini doesnt give much in the way of warnings for the introduction of this

experience merely again and again it will place one in the waves of the void

allowing the individual to be washed hither and yon by the currents and riptides

as they are held in the immense arms of the Mother Kundalini who comes right in

with you. Much the same way that a mother holds her baby in the waves allowing

them the little learning's first.

 

It can be a repeated and seemingly endless experience and set of experiences.

 

Little experiences open us to bigger ones and even though size comparisons do

not equate within this divine context they can be used for the limited five

sense mind to open into comprehension that which is beyond its reference points.

 

The key is to not fear the absolute strangeness that one can be placed in. Think

of the baby being held by its mother in the foam and tiny wavelets of the sea.

Think of what that experience with the sounds and the wind and the touch of the

cold water upon new skin.

 

Think of the fear that can course through the child as such an expanse of the

sea is experienced with out any overt reference point. Then add to that the

sound of shore birds and the scurrying of crabs and screams of other children as

they play. Inside of these many and varied experiences add the thrumming of

survival as life is killed and consumed by other life right there on the beach!

 

It could be unnerving for anyone....and it is. You have a warning that the child

may not have.

 

So is the void and the dark night cleansing's and balancing's somewhat strange

and therefore fearful and yet you now have information. We need the dark night.

We do not all need to fear it but some of us do. Fear is a great teacher and we

learn the lessons that " stick " to the consciousness when we learn them

through fear. So fear in this way is very useful as a learning tool.

 

So I suggest that these thoughts be considered when one ponders or experiences

the dark nights within the sea of the void. -
