Description
The Dark Night of the Soul: A Psychiatrist Explores the Connection Between Darkness and Spiritual Growth
Gerald G. May, a distinguished psychiatrist and spiritual counsellor, argues that the dark side of the spiritual life is a vital ingredient in deep, authentic, healthy spirituality. He contends that the dark 'shadow' side of the true spiritual life has been trivialised and neglected, leading to superficial and unfulfilling spirituality.
May believes that only honest and sometimes difficult encounters with the unknown can lead to true spiritual wholeness. He explores the concept of 'the dark night of the soul' as a time of deep transition, a search for new orientation when things are clouded and full of mystery. The dark, he argues, gives depth, dimension and fullness to the spiritual life.
