you gotta check this out
 
Various meditative disciplines have a variation on the 'long dark night of the soul' - a period of doubt and contemplation just prior to an enlightenment experience.
 
As luck would have it, the guy who wrote this site had such a long dark night (or 'stage 11' as he calls it). As luck would also have it, he happens to be skilled in system analysis and so we have a system dynamics model of a long dark night.
 
 
Also check out the parent dir for the 'General Theory of Religion'
 
 
I haven't read it yet, but I would offer one caveat to anyone who wants to. People who write this sort of stuff have either been studying psychology / religion for some time, or they are nuts (ok, maybe a few non-religious non-psychologist non-nutty ppl may occasionally come up with stuff... but *generally*....) And most people who devote their life to psychology or religion don't end up being experts on system dynamics theory.
 
But I suppose he might not be nuts...
