The Dark Night of the Soul Removes What You Are Not — Jung, John of the Cross, and Aurobindo

A sculptor doesn't add the form to the stone — the form was never missing. He removes everything that isn't it. In this episode, we trace the dark night of the soul through three completely different cosmologies: Jung's horizontal individuation, John of the Cross's upward purgation toward God, and Aurobindo's downward descent of higher consciousness into matter. Three directions, three vocabularies, and one identical mechanism — nothing is added. What's removed is everything that was never really you.
