The Long Dark Night of the Soul
Is a poetic reference to a well-understood period in personal spiritual development, and by extension, the development of all things Humans do.
There is an inertial energy that propels all Movements forward, but there is always an ever increasing point of falter and failure. Because we are spiritual beings existing in a world of quantity.
The effect of this phase or interval-period in the Law is to “shake-off” all that which is not absolute essential to the entity in Movement forward. To divest and thus prepare that which is in Movement for it’s forward completion. Because what has been accumulated in the initial “exciting” stages of any real Movement always gathers detritus.
Regardless, the Law is the Law.
Yet to quit seeming to bullshit and speak plainly to what I believe needs to be said about Bitcoin:
So it is in the development of any and every Thing which Intentionally wishes to ascend, there will be a periodicity or interval where the intended goal is as far away as the place where everything started - and as such the energy the Movement started with becomes expended, and fails to find any further energetic “reason” to continue.
This is the Long Dark Night of the Soul.
This is the test of the Worth of the journey.
If we understood this in our lives, we would recognize it again and again…and recognize that We fail, we give up, again and again. And that’s ok. We were created to test and fail again and again. If we could see this, then all that I’m saying would go without saying….
It’s normal, unavoidable, that we start things, then lose the energy to complete them. We all experience this, so we need to understand that other people experience this as well - even in the things WE believe are so important we wish to embrace and embody them. Even new things that are groundbreaking for the Human race.
By nature or intention, everything that matters is an excitement, and then a slog.
The slog is necessary to test our dedication and our certainty. It’s a positive thing to see that test happening in others outside ourselves.
