Dark night of the soul

I dreamed I was meeting with a spiritual master.

I saw I have deep seated pride.

It is the type of pride at so deep a level,

One is not aware of it.

Becoming aware with one of those fast flashes of insight,

A quick flash and it was gone.

I saw it would be very hard to eradicate that pride.

And not something I am able to do myself.

It is a more refined process of purification of the soul.

Beyond my ability to fix it.

For how can one fix what one does not see.

A quick flash and it receded into the shadows.

It likely mean going through something like a dark night of the soul.

I woke up, a bit dismayed.

But at the same time not surprised.

And receive it as a message from spirit.

It is as though they are giving me a heads up.

Preparing me for the work ahead.

They do that, prepare me with warnings.

Often in dreams.

I will accept whatever comes.

And no, I will not anticipate thereby creating.

I will move with the flow of the spirit.
