The darkness of the 'pit' is more evident when there is no sense of our old self left~ the one we were molded into by others. It does feel like a none existence to an extent. Because our real self was never encouraged to be, we were only ever left with a shell of ourselves.
We feel lost and afraid in that pit where there is only despair, darkness, and depression.
I used to imagine a way out of that pit. A ladder, or a helping hand that reached down to me. Once on the surface, I was still alone, and could only crawl towards a self sufficient, and unseen me.
It is a time of evolving Green eyes, from the caterpillar to the wee butterfly......well, that's what they tell us.
Imagine if you can, EVERYTHING good about you that ever was but a million times bigger,.. and there you are!
"To 'know Thyself' is considered quite an accomplishment.”

OUR TRUTH WAS ALL THAT EVER MATTERED.
