This Author's Shared Comment About Removing The Dark Night of the Soul is the Gift of Illumination in Higher Consciousness Article from his Website

Developing the Habit of Ignoring Ignorance within, leads us all into the Ignorance that we see everywhere about.
Dr.Darryl Pokea

If a piece of fruit is starting to rot, we must quickly stop the section of rot before it spreads throughout the remainder of the whole fruit. If we eat it without removing the rot first, we take the rot within us. If the rot throughout the whole of that fruit cannot be stopped, we must remove it from the basket before it spreads to other fruit. If the whole basket becomes infested with rot, we must find a different basket of fruit to eat from to sustain us.
Dr. Darryl Pokea

My spirit within guided me to post this and once again I declare:

All Material that Dr. Darryl Pokea speaks or writes may be viewed only in the context of this, my website, free to all who wish to view it here. All other websites, in all their many forms on the Internet, who have thieved, plagiarized or abused the reverence required in the declaration of Copyright All Rights Reserved are to be ignored. I state this from my spirit guiding my mind and body within the dark night of the soul experience so that the ignorance that is so consuming our world, does not continue the epidemic of copyright abuse among all the "dis-ease" spreading so rapidly everywhere now. I, Dr. Darryl Pokea, qualify my Light, my contributions from within, and declare that I do not wish anay of them placed among the many unscrupulous websites, forums, social networks and individuals who were, or any that are considering, theft or abuse of any of my articles, my expressions of my voice, or any other recording that pilfers them and/or mass distributes them without my explicit permission.

I also expand the above declaration and state my opinion:

In these times of such profound hunger for authentic spiritual experience, the counterfeiters, feigning expertise and enlightenment, are more numerous now than any time in human history. I state this, my opinion, that they are taking so many people down a path of seek and never find. To those sincere readers who authentically follow the teaching "seek and you will find" my best advice in your own discernment, is to read my articles only in the context of my website away from all the unauthorized clamor, clatter, and chatter and advertisements that remain on the Internet, where my articles and words were and are being placed without my permission by those who thieved or plagiarized them.

I have removed my article: The Dark Night of the Soul Is the Gift of Illumination in Higher Conscience because of copyright abuse, theft, plagiarism and even profiteering when it was free at my website on the Internet. To the people who have sincerely sought my advice, spiritual direction, and insights, I share my process further about the dark night of the soul experience. The responses that we are each guided to make come from deep within, often within the depths of all dark night of the soul experience that I will speak more of here.

The Dark night of the soul experience presents through a variety of forms within, as numerous in form as there are people in the world. The dark night of the soul experience arises any time their is a mismatch between who we really are inside and our attempt to to share our true self generously with the outer world. These days, the mismatches are in our faces seemingly everywhere. These mismatches occurs when so many of those around us instead of opening, close their minds and hearts. Others may attempt to ignore, squash or abuse our Light showing itself in our world, but that Light always still shines deeply within. The dark night of the soul is one of many kinds of spiritual processes given to we humans to rediscover our Light within, no matter what happens to us in the outer world. That Light, within all of us, must eventually fully awaken, freely express and illuminate all that we do not realize in what we have been doing to one an other.

I have elected to share my recent proactive responses below, that can arise for any of us experiencing the dark night of the soul at any time in these tumultous times. My article may appear to be gone because of the abuse of my words for the time being, so I replace its former space and place, sharing first these words with all who hold reverence for all sentient beings that every one of us truly is. In your reading all these my words, the matter may hopefully change. That is why none of us attuned to our spirit/Spirit or true self deep within can be snuffed out by any ill-willed actions of others in this world. Even if our mind and body is harmed by others who attempt to murder our heart, our mind or even if they suceed in murdering our body,...... the sacred, the sentient, the spirit within connected to Spirit continues.

Mother Theresa understood with the deepest reverence depth of word voiced in this Beatitude, Blessed are the poor for they shall inherit the earth. The poorest among us are more often thrust into the deepest dark night of the soul experiences and,.... the illumination, the radiance within them still shines while they are here, sometimes destitute in the flesh. My opinion about Mother Theresa was shared in my article posted free within my website. Mother Theresa's response to her own dark night of the soul experience, was one of choosing not to ignore, but instead, she proactively placed herself among the most destitute. She was guided in her service there by deep attunement to her spirit within, and simultaneously she was better able to understand her own experience and depth of Light amidst her pain within the dark night of the soul and her service to those in pain.

The Dalai Lama, still here in the flesh, shares openly his Light discovered within, as did Jesus of Nazareth and all the mystics throughout history, many of whom became mystics embracing the heart of all spiritual traditions, through their dark night experience. We all are to discover our Light amidst a seemingly ever darkening world. The Dalai Lama who advocates holding sacred the unique diversity of every sentient being, qualifies all his most important published, public works, with Copyright All Rights Reserved according to Western culture guidelines. He also adds from his own culture "His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama asserts the moral right to be identified as the author of this work."

His works are also pirated. The Dalai Lama, in this our world, has commonly been ignored and accused of false voice, by those who themselves are most ignorant and acuse others of false voice. When you are ignored you may enter the dark night of the soul and you learn deeply there, to never ignore any of those who are being ignored among us. You learn to not follow the world telling you to ignore your spirit, your true self, who you really are. Mother Theresa, whose Dark Night of the Soul experience remained for the latter portions of her life,never ignored those who were being ignored and she actively called to task, those who in their ignorance, wanted to continue ignoring.

This is an Spiritual Olympic lesson to never ignore your spirit within, who you really are.

Copyright All Rights Reserved, that I have posted on all of my articles within the context of this website, has been ignored. Many have thieved my articles without my permission, used them for advertising and endorsements, and have even plagiarized my words. I am a teacher who speaks better than I write. In voice expression I have the gift of clair audience in attunement to my spirit and the spirit of all who attend my presentations. I say not what people want to hear so that I may have profits, but what they need to hear. This process arises from the depth of sharing from the heart, possible with all of us. I speak and write as best I can according to what attunement to my own spirit, resonating with everyone's spirit, tells me to voice. I am doing that now concernng copyright violations for the visitors of my website, as best as I can express through written word, what comes from my heart and the guidance of my spirit. These simple teachings I share with you from my experience, so that it may also better its arise amidst your own dark night of the soul. That is why the title of my article was: The Dark Night of the Soul Is The Gift of Illumination in Higher Consciousness. That title itself has been abused and used for advertising and postings to draw readership to content at websites I do not endorse.

Here is the Heart of the Matter and what is so Disheartening as Pertaining to the Dark Night of the Soul and Mother Theresa Previously Posted.

Mahatma Gandhi said:
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

The lack of care demonstrated by carelessness and pilfering copyrighted works, feeds sociopathy. Those with antisocial personality disorders, narcissistic personaltiy disorders and many others are not to be given unbridled avenues of expression to poison the Internet. The lack of conscience, most destructive to others, dominates all actions and all behaviors in all personality disorders. The self-appointment of distribution of an author's work by those with these unchecked narcissistic behaviors, eventually leads to their becoming what we in the Western world refer to as a Narcissitic Personality Disorder; a person who demands that the world mirror back to them that they are the fairest of them all. They spread these "better than the rest" behaviors to others and demand that they be worshipped as an idol or they threaten dire consequences with rage, not compassion. Unnregulated, this quickly deteriorates, through more and more self-aggrandizement, now considered acceptable and quickly becomes sociopathic behavior, endlessly doing harm to other. Eventually, in a complete lack of conscience without remorse, they may become an individual filled with what psychology/psychiatry is calling Anti-Social Personality Disorder. We already witness both of these illnesses in many of our leaders and politicians; the worst seldom called to task for their living manifestation of ill-will. For a different approach to comprehending what is at stake you may read (free within my website)

My Letter To President Obama

The ultimate antithesis of the spiritual life is the sociopath who lacks all conscience all remorse, all empathy, love and compassion. Compassion and Remorse for one's hurtful actions to self and others. Empathy, and love are the prequisites for all authentic spiritual paths within all spiritual traditions. Individuals of ill-will consumed within by their irresponsible choices, act out in a variety of predatory manners towards others. They are upon us now, and even idolized in television and other media including the Internet. They prey upon those who pray, meditate, or sincerely seek Higher Consciousness. They know that, particularly during tumultuous times, many are seeking solace in the Divine, authentically within all spiritual traditions. Another understanding and insight about words becoming substance, actual flesh I share in these articles:

Out of Control Yang: The Root of Cancer, Chaos, and "Dis-Ease"

Recognizing the Voice of Healing in the Twenty First Century

These articles shared freely at the URL's highlighted, furthers understanding of the epigentic impact on our species future because of psychological ignorance in Out of Control Yang and abuse of words that foster even sicker ego development.

Amidst all the polarizations Yes you can actually, physically become the habitual behaviors and substance of words that you are addicted to as you keep repeating them. I am warning President Obama about this danger in my letter so that he may authentically be aware about his stated words, change, transparency and service.and be attuned as intensely to their substance he is when a basketball is in his hands. Epigenetics clearly addresses the DNA duplication process in the 50 trillion cells (little beings) that make up our bodies. This is no game and our brain is not a striate muscle, but exercising its full capacities in Consciousness and the stuff of consciousness (William James) is imperative. Our life and the lives of others can never be viewed as game within a game. Life can not be viewed as just another dress rehearsal. Unless we correct the mistakes from the moment they are recognized we end up ignoring our own ignorance and more ignorance abounds against our nature. You may read more about my view on this at these URL's:

Choosing Happiness Instead of Stress for Your Body

Whose Thought Is It Anway

Personality disorders have become the norm for our society and its leaders. A personality disorder is a defense against insanity. For the person with their personality disorder, the insanity doesn't go away. It just gets passed on to everyone else.
Reading the following also assist understanding that we are ignoring all sense of attunement to spirit within and what the Earth is telling us as we are distracted in what we can sense by all the non sense on the Internet, media, and elsewhere.

The Tsunami, Terrorism, and Trusting the Timeless Angels"

For those of you who have asked what I have done within my dark night of the soul experience, here are some of my proactive responses:

I have been asked by the readers of my articles and Healing Thoughts Page why I have posted no new articles or Healing Thoughs for 2009. At the following link is my January 27, 2009, US Postal Certified letter to President Barack Obama with nine copies that went to his senior officials including the First Lady, Vice-President and his wife. This letter shares the matters of my talk and my walk on the Internet to answer the queries that you, the readers of my website have been asking me about. Particulars, addressing the abuse of the Dark Night of the Soul Is The Gift of Illumination in Higher Consciousness article, that was always previously free in the context of my website, are included in my letter to the President.

My Letter To President Obama

I also choose to share with the readers of my website, that the Stumbleupon.com and StreamCypher.com Corporation, among others have abused and refused to remove my articles posted within the atmosphere and context of their websites that gives any of their members the means to post, mock and degrade any author's copyrighted work out of the context of the author's website and this author's chosen websites for distribution of his works. I recognize and encourage you the readers of my articles within the context of my website, to re-cognize (re think) this matter as a copyright violation. They, like so many of our corporations and financial institutions now, state that they can do anything that they want and call it "fair use" of something that does not belong to them. Is it any wonder why dracula cannot see his own reflection in the mirror? What is at stake can also be found on my Healing Thoughts Page link below.

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till its gone.
Joni Mitchell

Stopping egredious copyright abuse, pirating and theft of the intellectual properties of others on the Intenet, now upon us all, requires the unanimous consent of the governed. In attunement to my spirit, I re-cognize (re-think) and am re-minded (recall in memory mindfully), through the following passage from the opening of the Declaration of Independence, principally authored by Thomas Jefferson:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

The quill, focused and pointed on both ends, was smooth in its kinthesthetic strokes on paper, because the better angels within each of us keep us in balance, holding the truths that are self-evident that were expressed through Thomas Jefferson. In all change process, transparency and service, these words are to be kept alive in everyone's flesh and the rhythms of all our species walk. All the better angels within each of us, are to have free expression on the Internet in the best places that we choose according to the better angels guiding all of us.All authentic authors fervently preserve the living kinesthetics of harmony within their talk and walk. Those who have not yet mastered their predatory habits, who parrot, plagiarize and thieve the works of others, are always called to task by their own ignorance and ignoring Source/source of the very words they pirate.

The keyboard, HTML language, and electrons switching on or off have now extensively replaced the quill, but the process of keeping words focused and pointed wherever they are shared are to preserved daily in both our talk and walk. These processes remain the choice of the author, artist, entertainer, visionary and innovator. Every creator of a work, website, blog, forum, social network and media, have the intrinsic responsibility to listen to the guidance within from those better angels in what, how and where they continue to present and disseminate information. This author is declaring his own process so that the thieving political bands which have connected them with another, so prevalent now among our corporations, institutions, and the Internet and other media,, dissolve... as the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation from one an other.

In addition to the words above we may contemplate Ben Franklin's insightful consciousness and profound wisdom that he openly shared at the end of the constitutional convention. He comments directly on inviting the guidance of Light and Illumination for the building of a new nation while warning us about what leads to division and despair.

In this situation of this assembly, groping, as it were, in the dark, to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understandings? In the beginning of the contest with Great Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayer in this room for the divine protection. Our prayers, sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending Providence in our favor. To that kind Providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful Friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived, sir, a long time, and, the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth--that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that "except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed, in this political building, no better than the builders of Babel. We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded; and we ourselves shall become a reproach and by-word down to future ages. And, what is worse, mankind may hereafter, from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing governments by human wisdom, and leave it to chance, war and conquest.

I choose to share with the readers of my website, that the Stumbleupon social network has refused to remove my articles posted within the atmosphere and context of their website that gives any of their members the means to post, mock and degrade any author's copyrighted work out of the context of the author's website and the author's chosen websites for distribution of their works. I recognize and encourage you the readers of my articles within the context of my website, to re-cognize (re think) this matter as a copyright violation. They, like so many of our corporations and financial institutions now, state that they can do anything that they want and call it "fair use" of something that does not belong to them. What gives Dracula his power is that people in fear, habitually can ignore that something terrible could be happening to them or to others around them. Remember that Dracula cannot stand in the Light. Is it any wonder why dracula cannot see his own reflection when he looks in the mirror?
