The spiritual awakening journey is about returning to the center of yourself. It is a homecoming to your Soul or True Nature.
What's Your Spiritual Archetype?
There are 12 spiritual archetypes in total, they are based on the four main spiritual paths of action, clarity, contemplation, and communion. What's your dominant path?
But the spiritual awakening path is not linear. We do not move from point A to point B in a single straight line. Instead, we often move in spirals and concentric circles.
Contrary to its popular depiction, spiritual awakening isn’t like hiking up an ascending mountain – instead, it’s comparable to a journey taken through a series of rippling valleys.
These valleys contain benevolent guides and treasures, but also traps, monsters, and other perils.
The Shadow Work Journal is a powerhouse spiritual tool designed to help you explore the deepest and darkest corners of your psyche.
We can go from feeling blissfully connected to devastated in the space of a few steps. But regardless of what you’re feeling, be assured that so long as you’re on this path, you are always learning. You are always growing. And you are moving ever-closer to the center of the mandala: your Eternal, Unchanging Self.
Spiritual Awakening Test
If you’ve read our previous spiritual awakening article, you’ll be familiar with the seven different stages of this path. The free spiritual awakening test below makes this knowledge experiential so that you can discover where you are at right now. Doing so will help you to gain your bearings, orient yourself, and know what to do next.
Be aware, however, that there are no “better” or “worse” stages. This isn’t a competition. Furthermore, it’s common to move backward and forward on the path.
Ultimately we’ve tried our best to define the indefinable. So be aware of the limitations of this test, while also seeing its value.

I started looking up non duality, which I was already aware of to some extent, intellectually, but now I began to truly understand what it means.The fact that we are all one fundamental Self, the fact that concepts such as right and wrong, good or bad etc are illusions. Honestly, this is far from reassuring to me. I lost my conceptual map to navigate reality. I crave to go back to my ignorance, to live being only partially aware, so i can still fit in my world, so I can stay connected to my family, colleagues and friends. I don’t want to lose the relationships i have. If everything is an illusion created by the Self, then why live this life at all, once i can see past the illusion?
