Self-abandonment -Part II

Self-abandonment is the perfect attitude toward God for the spiritual being who accepts the experience of the spiritual path. At first, it can be confusing for some people who enthusiastically offered their lives to God and in short started experiencing some kind of regression.

In view of these loyal people sudden lack of fervor and desire, inability to control their spiritual progress, and thereby meet commitments are associated with inability to manage the transcendent affairs. Spiritual instability, doubt, insecurity after begin the spiritual development task is related to lack of willingness or ability to sustain spiritual growth.

Some of them leave the commitment caused by anxiety, some continue but with a lot of pain, and eventually, others find guidance on time to rectify the evaluation done to experiences that could be worth the effort. Experts generally mystical authors as Saint John of the Cross define this moment as a transition between the natural knowledge of the spiritual to a mystical understanding of the religious experience and clarify the steps of the process as going gradually through a path of darkness or lack of light, uncertainty and doubts to a path of light in the last stages. This makes it important to know the reason of self-abandonment into the hands of God as the best attitude for the good of the creature.
