3 Signs You’re Going Through an Existential Crisis

If you’re going through a crisis, don’t stop going

1. You Feel Like You’re Stuck in a Black Hole

You’ve had a profound spiritual awakening. Your life perspective has changed drastically over the past few years. You’re no longer who you used to be but something has gone horribly wrong.

You’ve hit rock bottom.

You’ve sunk deep into the heart of the earth and you’ve been swallowed whole. It feels like you’re trapped inside a black hole and running out of air.

While others on the same journey are reveling in their newfound wisdom and deep insights, you feel suffocated by your own thoughts. While others have discovered their life’s purpose and are doing the work they came to do, you can barely get out of bed. While others feel a deeper sense of peace and alignment, you feel like you’re losing your mind.

But what could have happened?

Is it something you did wrong? Is it something you didn’t do? Is it because you're not worthy? Is it because others are more favored? Is it because you're not strong enough to stand?

To begin with, what you’re experiencing has nothing to do you your strengths or capabilities.

Maybe you’re experiencing a dark night or a spiritual crisis in order to recognize and appreciate the light. Maybe you’re in the heart of the earth so you can deepen your roots in the earth, so when you stand up again, you’re never shaken.

What you’re experiencing has everything to do with what you’re getting ready to do when the darkness passes and the morning comes. It may not feel like it will pass but it will pass and the morning will come.

Trust that you will not be left in the dark. It gets darker right as the light appears at the end of the channel.

2. Everything In Your Life Seems Meaningless

There is always a stage on a spiritual journey dedicated for the dark night of everyone’s soul.

Those who are reveling in their newfound wisdom and deep insights had to go through it. If they hadn’t, they wouldn’t know all the things they know now. Those who now know peace didn’t always know it. They also lost their mind, but you just didn't see it.

A spiritual crisis or dark night isn’t something that can be avoided if you want to evolve as a soul.

Before you ascend, you must descend into the earth to grow roots so your branches can go high up onto the heavens. It’s something everyone must go through in order to really grow.

The dark night of the soul isn’t caused by man, but it's a part of the soul’s journey. It is an important part of spiritual awakening and the transition into a higher level of consciousness.

If life appears meaningless and you're going through some type of inner pain and turmoil, you are at the darkest parts of your soul’s journey to the higher dimension.

The dark night of the soul is a time that can render much fruit in your life if only you allow the lesson to transform you from the inside out.

If you're going through the dark night of the same, stay calm. You’re in the darkest parts of your soul's journey to higher dimensions but you’ll be okay if you keep walking.

Don’t build a home in the darkness of your psyche. The things hidden in the darkness will be whispering and calling your name. Some will try to invite you into their darkness but don’t follow anything. Look ahead and let your soul guide you.

Embrace what is happening, knowing it’s happening for your highest good.

Surrender your life to God and the universe. You are the universe also, so surrender your life to your soul.

Your soul needs this time, so let it do its thing.

3. You Kind of Want to Leave This World and Go Elsewhere

You’re a being with a soul. If you’re currently going through some trials and tribulations and have no taste for life anymore, it is a big sign that your soul is getting ready to evolve. To shift into higher consciousness.

This is why you have to go through this profound period of soul evolution.

The path of growth is very dark. Passing through the dark is the only entrance into the fifth dimension. There are no other ways to get there.

You’re going through this process because your soul is removing old concepts and is preparing you for a much higher level of consciousness.

Your desire to leave this world and go elsewhere is your desire to ascend in consciousness and enter new realms and that’s exactly what your soul is doing right now.

Be calm, stay still, and allow the old patterns to be destroyed and the new to be revealed to you.

The dark night of the soul ends when you invite it in and embrace it. Invite it in to do its work of changing you. You will pass by some monsters in the shadows of your mind. Don't be afraid of them.

Stop and invite the monsters for a cup of hot chocolate. Sit with them and have a chat with them. Listen to what they are trying to tell you. Learn something from them and see them off.

Avoid the temptation to think doom and gloom. You’re the not the first person to go through a dark night and it won’t end with you. Think positive things. Expect the light to shine through at any time.

You infect your experiences with your thoughts. When you are going through a dark night of the soul, don't stop and sit there dwelling on your problems. When you stop judging the experiences in your life and accept them for what they are, things begin to change.

Things will change.

There’s help available to you. You will cross paths with many teachers, guides and messengers who will tell you exactly what you need to hear. It may not be what you want to hear, but it’s the thing that will guide you to the light.

You’ll meet many lightworkers working in the dark to guide others into the light. Call them and ask them to show you the way. Ask for help and they can help you see things from a different perspective.

You can also connect with the god or goddess in you. God’s true nature is peace and joy. If you connect with your true god-like nature, you will experience more bliss in your life, even when it's dark.

The length of your spiritual crisis or dark night will depend on the illusion, the conditioned beliefs, and the mind programming you’ve undergone. All those things must be broken down.

All of those things are curses that your soul is working so hard behind the scenes to lift so you can embrace who you truly are and begin doing the work you came here to do.

Behind the dark cloud of temporary disillusionment and meaninglessness is a silver lining that surpasses them all.

If you're going through a spiritual crisis, don't stop going. You'll be okay as long as you keep walking.
