The experience of light and dark is a part of every human journey, to one degree or another. Our culture teaches us to fear the experience of the dark, especially that inner darkness that is our shadow self. We have built an imaginary wall between us and the darkness. We have developed rituals and psychologies, religions and pills to distract us from the darkness. We have focused on the light, seeking to eliminate the darkness, if not in this life, then in the next. And yet, in the end, the darkness is always there with us or around us, waiting.However, if we learn to step through our fear, there is another possibility - another road, less traveled. On this road, we learn to accept the darkness, to engage it in dialogue, and to use it as a tool for our spiritual growth. On this road we learn that darkness is not the enemy of light, but simply the other half of light. We learn that our goal is not light, but wholeness. We learn that true spiritual wholeness is not a denial of the dark side of ourselves but rather an embracing of both our inner light and our inner darkness into an integrated, healthy, transcendent whole.In this book, I will share with you some of my insights and pass along some of the spiritual practices I have used, both in my personal work and in my work as a spiritual counselor. Use this book as a practical guide to achieving lifelong spiritual growth.

The first book to examine the spiritual and therapeutic practice of retreat in physical darkness to explore inner light • Shows how experiencing complete darkness over prolonged periods helps in developing mental clarity and creativity • Draws upon many indigenous and spiritual traditions that use this technique The use of ceremonial darkness is a classic and cross-cultural method for exploring hidden aspects of unconscious and super-conscious states, accessing invisible landscapes, and embracing the deeper recesses of the self. In Darkness Visible Heaven and Buxton examine the spiritual and therapeutic practice of taking retreat in physical darkness. For millennia mystics and sages have used darkness as a spiritual tool for breaking with their pasts, prior conditioning, and the limited reality of their societies. Spiritual seekers from many traditions--Celtic, Eastern, indigenous North and South American, Tibetan, and African--have used darkness as a tool for spiritual enlightenment. Heaven and Buxton show how experiencing complete darkness, even for only a period of hours, brings about a remarkable clarity and mental stillness and thus provides a springboard for creativity, intuition, and spiritual development. They include exercises that explore lucid levels of dream consciousness, drawing both from their experience as teachers of this method and from the many cultures that include this practice in their spiritual traditions. Darkness Visible shows how deprivation of sight can truly teach us to see.
