Is the Burning Off of Karma, or Dark Nights of the Soul?

Er is the idea, you know, it's talked about differently, but the burning off of karma. And at some point, especially through my practicing, i fell into whatnow now call a dark night. Every single day of my life, ah, i woke up went to bed tortured and thinking and obsessing about death and the reality of it. So i'd look in the mirror and just like, you just have to face it. so i'd be like, youknow, you're going to die.
