Dark Night of the Soul

@Roi

I am asking this because I have already seen two people saying this while they had the suicidal thought, “they wanted to leave the physical plane”. And this monk is the third one who had the same experience, who happened to say the same phrase.

It’s called the “Dark Night of the Soul” and one can have several on one’s spiritual path.
In everyday language, many call it “hitting rock bottom”.

The ego has such a stranglehold on most people that they don’t start or fully surrender to their “Higher Self” even for a little bit, until they’ve reached a point where they have nowhere else to go because the Ego has run out of “answers.”

Btw - it’s totally avoidable and not “needed” at all, but for many, it’s absolutely needed and unavoidable…lol if that makes sense.

Is that the point where the benevolent or the higher beings or the universal guardians start to guide us in our right path?

It’s the point where one starts actually listening to them instead of ignoring them. They were/are always there.

@Roi

You either mean the higher Self? or the Beings or guardians?

@_OM

Yes.
