Nigredo: Why You Must Fall Apart to Be Reborn | Lurkers

Описание: The alchemists believed that before gold could be synthesized, the base material had to endure "Nigredo"—the blackening.
It is the process of putrefaction, decomposition, and total collapse. In our modern world, we diagnose this feeling of unraveling as failure or depression. We rush to fix the cracks, terrified of the void opening beneath us.
But what if this collapse is not an error, but a requirement?
In this entry, we explore the concept of Nigredo through the lens of Carl Jung’s analytical psychology and the resilience of Stoic philosophy. We will examine why your old self must die to make room for the new, and why the "dark night of the soul" is a necessary variable in the equation of your rebirth.
This is a sanctuary for those currently walking through the darkness.
