What distinguishes the dark night from a depression is the fact that a person in the dark night normally has an intuition that these trials are going someplace. One perceives at times the fruits of the dark night in one's changing perspectives such as the growth of a nonjudgmental attitude toward everyone, greater detachment from things and persons, humility, and trust in God.
-Thomas Keating, Intimacy With God
