The spiritual awakening journey is about returning to the center of yourself. It is a homecoming to your Soul or True Nature.
However, the spiritual awakening path is not linear. We don’t 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.
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’re 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 wanderer’s journey page, you’ll be familiar with the different stages of this path.
The free spiritual awakening test below makes this knowledge experiential so that you can discover where you are 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, I’ve tried my best to define the indefinable. So be aware of the limitations of this test while also seeing its value.
What result did you get? I welcome you to share below!
Remember that you can revisit this test as often as you like during your journey to gain self-insight and a bird’s eye perspective.
I got the Rebirth-stage and Sage´s archetype. Actually, my rebirth took place 25 years ago, and after that I had 7 intense years including learning, reading, finding like-minded friends, burning off karma, fulfilling my life task and having interesting mystical experiences. After that, my spiritual stage has been quite stable. I also had a child 15 years ago, which made me focus on more mundane matters.
I´m in a new phase in my life, which probably gave me this rebirth stage. New beginnings aren´t always about spirituality, there´s just a new adventure (?) ahead!
I got Rebirth as a result.
Turning inwards. Is it scary ? You bet. More than ten years of pain and seeing more coming, that was already here but kind of hidden…. my. Surrender is humbling and the only way in/out
Starting the journey Apprentice 🤔. Did not expect that
Illumination Stage
Grateful for how far I have grown in the journey.
I am definitely in the finding guidance stage. My mother recently passed away and I am dealing with all kinds of feelings and emotions.
