When the journey kills our attachments not only to material things, but also to spiritual aspirations and dreams, we’re faced with living from the achy abyss of our own nothingness--a path woven from continual surrender to mystery and wonder. 

In this episode, we'll explore

• The dark night of the spirit and how it differs from the dark nights of the soul
• Why it's necessary to lose our identifications not only with the material world, but also the spiritual world and our practices (ascension, healing, astrology, alchemy, yoga, meditating, spiritual purpose etc.)
• The gifts of going through the dark night of the spirit and being stripped of spiritual ego. Magnificent gifts.
