The Akashic Field: Embodying the 9th Wave

41. Discernment Is What Carries You Through the Dark Night


Listen Later

One of the most destabilizing aspects of the dark night of the soul is the feeling that intuition has stopped working. Messages feel inconsistent. Guidance repeats without resolution. Insight doesn’t translate into action. Many people assume they’ve lost their connection or made a mistake somewhere along the path.


In this episode, we reframe what’s actually happening. The dark night doesn’t remove intuition — it removes reliance on it as a primary guide. What’s being developed instead is discernment: the ability to make choices without certainty, to stay grounded when signals are mixed, and to assess reality through response rather than reassurance.


We explore why intuition alone isn’t sufficient during this phase, how discernment forms through engagement rather than insight, and why trying to “get back” to earlier clarity often deepens confusion. This episode also clarifies the difference between spiritual noise and meaningful feedback, and how to tell when your system is asking for action rather than interpretation.


Discernment isn’t a special gift or personality trait. It’s a skill that emerges through Entering, Engaging, and eventually Partnering — especially when the path feels quiet and uncomfortable.


If you’re in a season where answers feel scarce but movement is still required, this episode offers a grounded way to continue without bypassing the work that the dark night is doing.
