Dark Night of the Soul

Perfect condition and received promptly.

This is a classic of the Catholic religion.

excellent

I became familiar with this when I was in college and I had difficulty with mental illness.

I am very different from other people in the way I think. I have something like severe autism caused by brain injury combined with a high tendency to think about and want to please other people.

today I was thinking about some feedback I got and I realized that it is all going wrong b/c of my tendency to blame others, among other things.

I am very different from other people. I need to work out conversations via grammatical or other, mathematical, rules. this is like autism and it reflects that my injury started to show up in the 6th grade, when I was diagramming sentences.

and the thing is when you are different you want to be the same.

but this book, it doesn't really matter the specifics of the language b/c the concept, of dealing with something huge and coming out the other side, is very important to me.

I am almost 40 and facing this issue.

my tendency is to panic and blame people rather than take responsibility for being different. whatever that means. I don't know what that means.

it's OK, I have to trust that there will be another side for me when I come out of this whatever it is, this passage through acceptance.

i enjoy devotional type books. Dark Night of the Soul however has a depth and sobriety to it that the modern books lack. you can almost feel the slower rhythms from the day in which it was written. i don't believe it is impossible for the modern-day Believer to attain this depth of soul-devotion but the monastics definitely have an edge on us. it will challenge you and bring you to a deeper level of devotion if u are commited to it.
