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.
What Type of Inner Work Do You Need?
There are many routes we can take to get us through the depths of our unconscious. Which path should you take?
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.
Thank very much for the test .It has put me at so much ease
Thank you.
Your tests are always very useful.
Thank you Saxa :)
why bother to hear from me on my thoughts if you don’t respond back to the messages i sent to your emails. Twice i came to you for help and guidness and you don’t respond
I’m sorry to hear that Miguel, but as we receive hundreds of emails daily it would be a full-time job just answering those. We’re here to share information and some advice you can all try, if you need one on one support I’m happy to refer you to people you can work with.
Thanks you for a great test and wonderful website in general! I was wondering, what is the process you use to come up with the insights you share on this site? Is there some equivalent of the scientific method for spirituality? One thing I like about the culture of scientific research is the emphasis on being open about one’s doubts and uncertainties, and process of arriving at one’s conclusions. I’m pretty new to the spiritual world but haven’t seen this as much and am wondering why.
Thank you Anna for your question. An equivalent of the scientific method is spirituality? Unfortunately, it’s not possible. I know scientists are working on trying to understand consciousness better but even that is elusive, they can’t determine where consciousness originates in the brain (some speculate because it doesn’t, and in fact the brain itself is more like a tv that receives the channel consciousness instead of the machine that creates it.) The issue is that science can only study that which is of the material world, for that’s the only thing that’s measurable and quantifiable. Spirituality is beyond matter, it’s subjective, limited to the self and the experience of the divine. So this is why you don’t see much of this type of rigor within spirituality (though metaphysic communities and 5D types make all kinds of claims.)
Wow, I’m at the Breakthrough Stage, I am honestly shocked, but grateful. Thank you ❤️
Wonderful. The result said I am in the Integration and Expansion Stage. Which I think really is what I am in right now. I just feel so calm inside.
Thank you very much, Lonerwolf. Your great works have tremendously helped me in my spiritual awakening. You are one of those to whom I am forever grateful with.
Im at the same stage. It is a great feeling when you are calm inside. Everywhere I go, I can feel peoples negative energy and there are a lot of people sitting on this energy daily. I feel more and more alienated living in this world and im longing back home to the universe but until then I will work hard to maintain my inner vibe.
It really touches my heart to hear other people in the same situation as me. I’ve felt so disconnected from people from doing this spiritual work, but I’m at peace with it, and wouldn’t give up my knowledge for anything,
Hi just read your post, sounds like you are still in ego my dear, as am I,
humble your heart we are still journeying, love and light xxx
Someone recommended this on Facebook. This test is not for the spiritually advanced. Most of the answers offered are for people still in their ego/blame/Tower stage of awakening. If someone “hurts” me? Can’t happen because I don’t give my power away like that. I am secure & strong in my sovereignty. The answers to the other questions were equally unusable for someone who’s been on this journey a while & dealt with their shadows. At least add options for those who are not just awake but healers & teachers of this work.
Lol sounds like a very ego-based response to this test, especially the whole part where you say: “At least add options for those who are not just awake but healers & teachers of this work.” Healers + teachers aren’t “above” anyone else. Btw, you can’t just have “dealt” with your shadows, it’s an ongoing process. You aren’t done hun, you’ve only just begun.
Brakethrough stage so far!
I agree with my results. I am experiencing the Dark Night of the Soul in the wake of a divorce — a divorce which was indirectly a result of a spiritual awakening. I started to question the true meaning of things & what meaningful purpose I could have in this world, but my husband didn’t want to go along for the ride. He can’t understand why I’m changing and can’t understand why things can’t just “go back to normal.” He kept trying to label me with something–an illness or a crisis. I love him as a human & the father of my child but I am feeling lost now and hope someday I can find a partner who understands and appreciates the beauty of the “new” me.
I’m feeling lost because I haven’t found that true path yet–I think it has to do with music and public speaking but I am still unsure. I go back and forth between feelings of guilt for changing (it feels like my fault for a deep feeling of needing more and creating a divide in my relationship)… and understanding that I am closer to my true self and that will bring me a greater happiness in the long run. I’m confused and exhausted, but still hoping for light at the end of the tunnel.
Hi Eli,
I’m still in the middle of the journey to my true self, and some aspects of my personal experience are much like yours. In my opinion, when you take this important step in your life people around you are usually frightened when they realize you’re not the person they used to know and, very likely, they’re deeply afraid of losing control over you. Your child’s response will be totally different, he/she’s evolving and will certainly understand what you’re going through and be your greatest reason to continue your journey, at the end of which you’ll at last be yourself.
All the best!!!
