If the Earth needs night as well as day, wouldn't it follow that the soul requires endarkenment to balance enlightenment?

To know you.

My heart aches to be known, truly, deeply by you, to greet you in the space where you and I no longer exist; to be openly and unconditionally received as I pour into you.

I ache to unleash the flame that burns fiercely in my chest, and yet it is only I that stands in the way, blocking the path to liberation which lays only in the heart.

With temptation around every corner, my lust for you keeps me hungry. The momentary taste of you brings the sweetest bliss, but it is a single drop on the tongue of a starving humanity.

I try to satisfy the void of you by gorging on your most delicious fruits, but so long as I refuse to recognise you, I will remain unknown.

I question often, is it really me who longs to be seen? And if I am so desperate to know you, how am I still blind?

I cannot blame her, only love and forgive her – still, what does she think she is protecting me from? Rejection, sure. Violence, maybe.

In a world that does not yet know how to allow love, that does not trust that love will not come at a price, that has no understanding of the language I wish to speak; I pray she finds the courage, strength and safety within to surrender, fully, to you.

'One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light,' Carl Jung wrote, 'but by making the darkness conscious.' Reading this, I realize that in a whole lifetime spent with seekers of enlightenment, I have never once heard anyone speak in hushed tones about the values of endarkenment. The great mystics of the Christian tradition all describe it as part of the journey into God, but it has been a long time since The Cloud of Unknowing was on anyone's bestseller list. Today's seekers seem more interested in getting God to turn the lights on than allowing God to turn them off.

I am not a victim.

I am not a victim of violence or abuse.

I am not a victim of lack; love, money, time or truth.

I am –

not a victim of the shame,

not a victim of the pain,

not a victim of the judgement,

suffering,

or blame.

I am not a victim of oppression.
