"There is no medal awarded for having a tough time in the
Dark Night or for staying in it for longer than necessary, much to my
dismay. One of the more bizarre potholes we can fall into in the Dark Night
is to become identified and fascinated with the role of The Great
Spiritual Basket Case. “I am so spiritual that my life is a non-stop
catastrophe of uncontrollable insights, disabling and freakish raptures,
and constant emotional crises of the most profound nature. My spiritual
abilities are proven and verified by what a mess I am making of my life.
How brave I am to screw up my life in this way! Oh, what a glorious and
holy wreck I am.”" Ingram p.203
