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.
The proved to be very accurate for where I am at this present moment on my spiritual journey. I do mostly feel love joy and peace and have been spreading the knowledge to others who have needed some help. I have also had moments of returning to past wounds and shame / guilt. Remembering to forgive myself & others. Also feelings of not belonging to society( I guess that’s isolation) but this has only happened after I’d watched something on tv. ( I don’t watch tv programmes haven’t for approx 2 yrs only watch Netflix movies) so I’m still practicing to not identify with the negative emotions that rise inside me from time to time from external ‘outside’ ‘others’ forces. Thank you for this website. xx
I got lost and alone and it couldn’t be more true
Last time this test came round, I landed on integration and expansion, this time i got the same. Instead of beating myself up and thinking I haven’t made any progress, I tell myself that this stretch of my path is a bit longer than I might have expected or wished for. Anyone else thinks they’re not making progress, is making progress. It’s not all quick steps, sometimes we have to tango or fox trot.
Thanks Carole, I think that’s a beautiful way to see it (and goes well with the Expansion aspect of expanding the compassion we feel towards ourselves.) Keep up the great work :)
I have felt stuck for several years and as if I’m not going to make it. Any tips or guidance would be a blessing and I’d be ever so greatful to you all.
Hi Ej, I’m sorry to hear that. What do you mean by “I’m not going to make it” firstly?
I got “FEELING LOST” and this is so spot on. I recently lost my parents and it’s just my brother and I left and nothing has taken us by surprise more than the sadness that comes with their absence everyday. It still feel so unreal we are still so young and so where they. Nothing makes sense right now and we are told that we would be fine in the end and we really want to believe that so desperately
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss Av, that is heartbreaking. I just want you to know that I hear you, see you, and wish you all the love and strength you need to recover and thrive again. Big hugs ♡♡♡
My whole life I was faced with some type of test or challange that was meant to break me down for the better or worse some times it felt easy other times seemed very challenging even impossible started feeling in my heart than my mind an soul everything happens for a reason its either a lesson or a blessing the blessing will be what I learned from it an how to recognize its many forms Ik my father my creator of all that was that is an what will be im his child an he loves me even if had moments I felt he didnt Ik he do now an matter What I went through going through now or will go through in the future i know my father is with me Ik I am strong Ik everything happen for a reason people are going to come in an out of my life along my journey but as long as I believe in myself an my father an trust i can make it through any storm no matter the damage it left behind I will be ok cause Ik my fathers has my best interest heart strength he is control an with now patients an knowledg
Hello, I had a experience of seeing my own eye in the sky, followed by a tornado, that started at déjà vu experience, from kindergarden, but was a harmonisks opplevelse at School and is now a house, and it wiped out the little town clean, now I live in an apartment of that representation, all after a salvie-trip, that was mostly a internet phenomenom, now I want to know how SP/PS and LP/PL is a misunderstanding, to say the least, that you guys are thinking of. Only younger. I want to learn a movement of crane and how that has so much to do with the hospital.
Why you need human support …when you have divine support..isn’t it? You should feel yourself enough…it’s a time for yourself to shine like a star and do what you want to do by your own …..because this world and other people need your support for positivity….your life is precious …don’t waste it for negativity …be positive and spread positivity…
Imho, we all need each other’s support, just because we are human. Divine support – fair enough, I think we all know we also get divine support, which is entirely different from human support and we need both. Sure enough there’s some people who need my support, and if possible, I’ll be glad to give it. But life’s all about give AND take. And it’s also human to be negative every now and then, or even more often, as at least I am not divine right now.
Hi..I feel like my family more so my dad who Is the breadwinner in our family is not giving me the kind of support I need..my old friends are running away from me one by one..I feel lonely and abandoned though I’ve some some new friends I still feel empty…sometimes I even think of committing suicide when I’m alone..Help me please
Hey Brandon do not ever think about committing suicide. Your life is the biggest gift given to you and you are a gift in your ownself….. just because some useless people dont understand you worth doesnt mean you should too not understand your worth. Bad times are just “times” and they will pass I personally recommend you to go to the bottom of the page and click on the “Let the universe choose my message” button it will help you alot. And just remember you’re a fighter and when life hits you you hit it harder be the warrior you are.
Thanks for this
I feel like I have been getting “lost in the sauce” and the realization that most of the “spiritual” stuff I see on instagram and youtube is very egoic or materialistic makes me feel a bit hopeless for humanity. How do I know what is real? It was one book that woke me up and since then that book just does not seem to hit in the same way so I go searching for more and I just get lost in all the BS. There is SOOO much junk on instagram and so many people wanting to give advice. I felt called, at one point, to post videos on youtube about my spiritual journey after my kundalini awakening, but now, I feel like I would just be adding to the chaos. IDK I used to feel so connected and inspired, now I just feel lost. I don’t think I want to be a “spiritual influencer” like I originally thought, although the urges to share my insights are very strong and I usually feel great after I make a video. I just want to do something real and live with joy and presences. Have I lost my path?
Thanks for sharing Hope. Maybe that’s the Path? Truth cannot be found in a ‘consensus’, it’s an immediate personal experience. That also means we end up getting lost sometimes, having to rediscover the wonder. I’m personally rediscovering that myself, and I completely agree with the whole social media problem…it’s the reason I stay off it personally, and why we are thinking of stopping the filming of our youtube videos. The internet connects, but often at the cost of separation from what is real if we aren’t mindful enough. Rediscovering this balance I feel is my next leg of the journey.
