The Dark Night of the Soul is accompanied by the gretest test - the Dark Night of the Spirit!
This is the most difficult test. The story of Jesus is an alchemical allegory, describing the mystical experiences of the alchemist-initiate.
The initiate feels cut off from all help, even from one's source of Being ! Beautiful is the face of the Mother Divine, but She too can be hard and terrible !
He feels cut off from all inspiration and intuitions ! He is alone on the Cross and this is the state of Crucifixon !
Bliss and pain alternate in this state of Crucifixon.
Jesus cried out " My Power, my Power, why hast Thou forsaken me ? " in his pain. Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani ! At the same time he acquiesced in the Universal Will and said " Father, unto Thy hand I command my spirit "
All emotions and Mind are totally on fire, during this state of combustion. One has to overcome this period by self-reliance and self-faith !
This state of Combustion is caused the Divine Fire, by the fiery serpent which ascends. All our mortal dross are burnt away by this all consuming Fire. The last remnants of the Ego and identification with the lower self falls away and he comes to know that separation is only an Illusion !
May you achieve Enlightenment by His Grace !
