"Dark night of the Soul after spiritual enlightenment

When you move on, you will go through such pain you have never imagined. This is because now the forward is the dissolution of everything that stands between you and consciously merging in the love-bliss of the Self. Here kundalini is your greatest ally. Some may fear kundalini because it to them at first seems to be a destructive energy. But what it destroys is ignorance, and as its process progresses, kundalini will manifest love-bliss. When kundalini finally settles in the brain, you will be living in perpetual love-bliss.

God-consciousness

During the dark night of the Soul, you will gradually develop God consciousness. God consciousness does not mean that you achieve a god-like state but that you become conscious of God in everything. You enter a love relationship with God.

The dark night will be lifted by a growing love of God. You may not yet realize that this love of God is the love of the Self and the nature of the Self manifesting in you. So you project it onto God.

It is important "not to get stuck in some religion during this period", but rather expand one's love to encompass everything and everyone by seeing God in all.

God consciousness is not seeing everything as if it were divine, you actually sense divinity in everything and that it fills you with love. God consciousness is not a definite state, it is fluctuating and in periods it is there, at others it is gone.

When the heart opens, you may love everybody and you may think and feel about everything as divine, but that is not God-consciousness. True God-consciousness comes when kundalini rises above the throat chakra. Only then do we see God in everything as a vibrant, living presence of pure-love consciousness.

But remember, you will also be in the dark night of the Soul, so periods of love-bliss will interchange with periods of depression and extreme spiritual loneliness. In fact they are likely to co-exist. In reality the love-bliss interacting between you and divinity is the Self recognizing itself in the other - but that may only dawn upon one later."
