The Dark Knight of the Soul

Do you think we live in a time of grossness and darkness where people find it difficult to access the light? It's the nihilism that comes with science. Even though I feel beautifully connected and free, there are times where I also feel engulfed by fear and locked into craving. Rumi would say the way across the fire is through the fire, not around the fire. Embrace your fears, accept them and feel them in your body. You can't have an up without a down or a heart without a cold or the sacred without the so-called profane. There's a human creations in the mind where reality is beyond the mind.
