Discernment is a matter of following the Spirit and it involved the feminine side initially. Somehow the role of the Holy Spirit becomes more and more important. Henry Blackaby basically tells us if we want to know what to do, then we should go and find where God is at work. Somehow I find the importance of tears is greater than the importance of feeling good. In spirituality we make a significant difference between emotion's highs and lows and spiritual highs and lows. The dark night is not a spiritual low but it is found within an emotionally charged emotional low. The vice versa applies the emotional high may be in fact be a spiritual low . The danger is we live in our emotions rather than the presence of God.
