The Dark Night of The Soul
Michael Mirdad has done it again! This beautifully Spiritual man has touched my heart with precision timing in this book.
He immediately reminded me that my Soul (not I) decide when it’s time for me to journey within to discover what still needs to be healed and released. “Those Damned Leaks” tend to set me back because my ego likes to think I have conquered all my issues and then another ‘leak’ shows up. And this well-written timely reminder helps me place forgiveness of self as a priority into my daily life again.
There is so much love to give and so much good to be done in the world, my issues pale in the big picture. I CHOOSE to be part of the light and the darkness cannot change that.
I highly recommend this book to every human being who has ever had a single bad day much less decades of pain. There really IS a light at the end of the tunnel and it’s NOT a train, it’s GOD. I LOVE MY LIFE and Michael Mirdad has been instrumental in reminding me of that by helping me finding God again.

This is a perfect book to read when you feel like you’re at your wits end and life is NOT going at all the way you want. I really love the way this author and spiritual teacher presents his eye-opening material with straightforward, no nonsense advice on getting to the heart of your distress, and through it!
This easy read is not over fluffed, which I especially appreciated since I was already overwhelmed with the anxiety of feeling stuck, helpless and almost hopeless against the hits I was taking from every area of my life. This book helped me qualify the differences between a mild depression or slump and a full-blown wake up call on a deep level. Everything was going wrong and I learned this major break down is actually labeled “The Dark Night of the Soul”. It was fascinating to read how a crashing life or even an un-happy life is all stemming from built up pain to know God. It was tremendously helpful to learn that I am not alone, as everyone supposedly goes through this at least once in a lifetime, lasting from a few weeks or months to a few years!
Practical, easy to apply specifics are given on how to navigate and even perceive, as painlessly as possible, what’s happening during our darkest hours. The good news is, the author takes you all the way through to the other side, to the light at the end of the tunnel! Tips on how to maintain a better way of living were key factors for me, including simple lifestyle changes to implement consistent spiritual practices.
My very favorite part of the book describes a technique called “stirring the ethers” to help instigate some movement OUT of the uncomfortable phases. You definitely want this book if you, or someone you love is suffering through overwhelming life challenges or a dark night of the soul.

The Dark Night of the Soul may be one of the most helpful books in Michael Mirdad’s long career of teaching and writing spiritually uplifting books (especially during this present time when society, itself, seems to be going through a Dark Night). Ultimately, this insightful, clearly written book explains how “all things work together for good for those who love God”—are awakening to Love’s presence as their True Self. This book addresses all the “ills that flesh is heir to” during the Dark Night and offers a step-by-step method of coping with and advancing beyond such ills to the “Light at the end of the tunnel.” If you know or suspect that you are going through the Dark Night of the Soul; go out into Nature, sit under a tree, and read and contemplate the contents of this helpful, healing book. I highly recommend this book with its clear and practical steps leading to the transformation of the darkness of pain into the Light of spiritual renewal. Additionally, if you know of anyone who might be going through a period of the Dark Night of the Soul, giving them this book could be a Godsend.
A fabulous book that teaches us to stay centered in God, to help us and others through the DNOTS

This is truly a great, condensed, detailed book about the dark night of the soul. Michael explains with ease and clarity, exactly what we go through and why we go through this experience, multiple times in our lives. He breaks down what happens when we enter this period of time, as well as sharing from personal experience, what to do when we are in this dark place, where life seems to be falling apart all around us. He created a blueprint to help guide us through this time of what feels like death, to coming out of the dark tunnel toward the light, to experiencing a rebirth. He talks about this as being the time for us to get in touch with our soul at the deepest level, to learn the lessons that we came here to learn. He shares 10 things to do when we are in this dark place and 10 things not to do. He explains that although we have no control over ending this dark time, we can help change the experience of it, through having an awareness of what we are going through, by using prayer, healing and forgiveness, which helps to create shifts in our outer experience. He also shares how we can help others through this dark time.
In Part 2 of the book, he includes what we can do in our lives, as we come back into the light. He again creates a blueprint, to help move us back into a healthier life, centered in God, integrating our lessons and building ourselves back up, to then become Ministers of Light and Love in the world around us.
This is one of my favorite books written by Michael, as he took a dark, dense topic and shined the light and love of God on it and through it and because of that, it is so clearly written. This book will help all of us move through our own personal dark night of the soul journeys, with an awareness, as well as a blueprint to help ease some of the discomfort and a knowing that we too will give birth to a newer, healthier, God centered soul. What more could we ask for!

Michael Mirdad’s new book, The Dark Night of the Soul, is really amazing in how it captures exactly what it feels like to go through that process. In my own life, I went through it intensely for a few years, and there were many times when I just wanted to die. But I just kept trusting, even when I had no idea where I was being led, and eventually, I came out stronger, and in many ways, a whole new person. In fact, it shaped me to have the life I have now. At the time, I had to do my own research to figure out what I was going through. It would have been SO GREAT to have this book to help me through many of the challenges that I faced at the time, including relationship endings, job changes, residence changes, changes of friends, and going back to school. It was intense! From this succinct book, I learned the power and value of forgiveness of others as well as myself. I wish I had known that sooner. I also realized that the battles I thought were outside of me were merely reflections of battles within myself, and as I worked to resolve them years later, the outside circumstances stopped being of concern. Finally, it was very comforting to realize that even while IN the Dark Night of the Soul, I was connecting with the divine, because it was all I had. I learned HOW to connect to stay sane. I loved reading about the value of having that connectedness with God in order to truly rebuild a new life, which I most definitely have over the years. I am grateful and appreciative that such a tool given to us by Michael Mirdad is now available for others, so they can get through these times more easily, rather than doing it the hard way as some of us did. Peace and blessings to all who read this book.
Can this book change your life for the better? Absolutely, YES.

What’s it about? The Dark Night of the Soul: Out of the Dark and into the Light is a guide to understanding, enduring, and embracing it as a gift, a clear and present benefit of our soul’s inner life revealing who we truly are: The Divine Expression of God in materialized spiritual form. This book expresses how it is this process, the unfolding of our heart, as the seat of our soul that purges all that is unlike God by illuminating the relevant tests, lessons, and situations that have served us up to this point. By being mindful and considering the unfolding of the “dark night of the soul” for us, we can be released to receive and give more and more of our truest nature. We live to our greatest purpose by acknowledging and experiencing the crises of spiritual growth. They potentially hold space for absolute transformation into the awakening of Christ Consciousness. Having read this book has allowed me to see this ever more clearly. The “dark night of the soul” is an instrument for dismantling the worn out old self to create a new self, the divine self. The “ten things to do and to avoid doing” chapters are keys to not only going through the “dark night of the soul”, but show how the dying to the old self, forgiving us and our seeming others, allows us to be reborn into renewal on all fronts. If I had to pick one quote that epitomizes this book: “The endurance of darkness is the preparation for great Light.” ~St. John of the Cross~
Now recognizing I have been through the “dark night of the soul” several times, even as a child, I see and understand how useful they have been to me. Would I have liked to been able to have found my way without so much suffering? Yes, indeed! But after each experience, I found renewal and a new beginning was now possible. If I have any regrets, it is that this book had not yet been written earlier to help guide me into more peace and acceptance. Can this book change your life? Absolutely, positively, without a doubt! I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks that “the dark night of the soul” serves no purpose other than suffering.
I have followed the teachings of Michael Mirdad for a few years now. This book is filled with authentic, incredibly insightful guidance. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to make their lives better. Follow his advice and you will be a happier individual.Read more “Incredible book”
