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.

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.
Don’t know where to start, feeling overwhelmed with life here in Texas. I have felt different my entire life. Just alone now, trying to stay alive in this Texas drought and people are still watering their lawns and golf courses!! Things like this don’t make sense, we need to be conserving water right now! Everyone around me is pushing the bible, end of times, etc. I feel more pulled to spirituality, psychics, tarot, oracles cards and my intuition. I’m stuck, lost and feel I need to be in a community of like minded people. I don’t know what to do or how to get out of here. I would need to move and sell my house. I don’t know which way to go. I feel like I need to live on a compound, where we all work together to keep each other alive with spirituality, praying, growing all our own food and surviving off the land. Maybe I’m just having a ? Not even sure these places exist, other than the cult societies. Does anyone else feel this way?
Thank you Sher. I think many of us can relate to what you’re describing, that’s one of the reasons we called this site lonerwolf; for those who don’t agree with how some things are being done and want to find alternatives.
If you’re in the U.S, there’s plenty of ‘statecraft’ projects that are using technology to create towns and cities that align with those values, rather than the pure pursuit of increased GDP which is what we have in our existing systems. One example that may interest you I found recently is: culdesac.com
This is something we hope to explore more in the future of our work.
Yes, and it’s amazing you say this because I’ve literally just said this the other day like I feel like out of no where I’m doing all this spiritual research and desperately looking for answers . Maybe all true spiritual people are a feeling the change and difference . Things are changing & fast . I don’t know what’s next either , but I do know when it’s time we shall all know . Maybe we should start by forming some sort of group chat with people like us . Email should be below 🔆

Integration & Expansion Stage
Well, good to everyone here and to myself. Remember, you don’t need gurus or “retreats”, but, I guess they may be places to meet ppl. But all you need is & always has been within you. We are sensory organs of the universe/totality or whatnot, the meaning of life is to experience life in your own way. We exist for the journey.
Beautifully said
Im at the breakthrough stage as of 5/4/23!!! I really had such a huge change in my life :) its wonderful!!! being an hsp/empath isnt so bad afterall
I was wondering when someone may fix this website so I can take the test… When I try to take the test, the boxes are on top of each other so when I click one,it doesn’t click it, it clicks the other one or it goes to another website…
I’ll reach out to support about this, Ekaterina. Have you tried using a different web browser?
Just reload
Try it on landscape Mode that worked for me
Desktop view worked for me.
According to the test I am currently in the seeker stage. I had to look it up in the article. I think I might me one step further though.
Many things are happening inside. And out. Lots of insights, it looks like things are coming together. I am glad that i am learning and changing. And I am actually looking forward to what is coming next. Like trusting the process.
I got deep inner work. It seems to fit perfectly with my where heart has been leading me right now.
Where is your heart leading you to?
I’ve just discovered the beginning of this truer understanding. I’ve thought for a long time that I had already seen the bigger truth for the most part. I had begun to understand the true nature of things and had a higher state of consciousness. Or so I thought. I was just more conscious than I had been. I discovered astral projection and that made it seem authentic. I thought I understood. I was also a religious cult victim. One of many.
My mom got sucked into the 12th tribes beliefs when she was pregnant with me. I never took anything they said literally from the beginning. To me all the religious texts were just distorted historical stories with hidden messages. I knew God wasn’t some person, like they seemed to want to believe. Then she switched from religion to religion after leaving so I got to hear stories from all the main religions and learn their distorted histories.
Anyways, because of that, when had my first romantic heart break, and discovered astral projection and gained a sudden deeper understanding to what God/existence really is. I thought I had at least achieved the beginning of enlightenment.
Recently I’ve gotten another sudden huge deeper understanding. I’m realizing now that I was no where close. Am still not. But I’ve never been happier to not know a thing. Hopefully the noise that I am/make, will make the ripples it always makes, but in a good way. Basically I hope I can understand that people who hurt me are just the ripples of noise from those before, and not be effected. So that I don’t receive this hurt from them anymore and and don’t hurt others, causing more distortion.
There’s more to the picture, of course. That’s just how far I’ve come personally. I really don’t want to be blinded by pain again. I really want to keep understanding more and add good things to existence and not bad.
This is more of an unloading, than it is a comment. There’s just no one I can tell who would understand. I want so badly for others to see so we all can add more good things and fix the hurt. There’s also no way to put it into words. It’s too vast for something as small as spoken language. There would be no way to tell anyone anyways.
I would love to be able to take this test but unfortunately the icons for other available tests on the site are covering up half of the answers for each question.
Thanks Poopsie for the heads up. I know this has happened to some of our tests depending on screen size, I’ve updated the code and hopefully it should fix the issue.
