Here you will find an explanation of each question from a psychological and spiritual point of view. If you have not yet taken the test, but plan to do so, we recommend that you postpone the reading of this article until you have completed it, otherwise your answers may be less spontaneous.
GOOD SENSE AND COMMON SENSE
1. You find a substantial amount of money on the ground, enough to be able to buy you that thing you need. What is your first thought?
A person’s relationship with money serves as a profound indicator of their level of consciousness. Those who display strong attachment to material wealth fail to recognize the ephemeral nature of life—that eventually everyone, including the wealthiest billionaires, will return to the earth, unable to carry their accumulated fortunes beyond the grave. Money represents perhaps the greatest and most powerful illusion manufactured by our world. In essence, attachment to money functions as a direct measurement of spiritual sensitivity: the lesser the attachment, the greater the power of the spirit; and conversely, the stronger the attachment, the weaker the spiritual connection.
The contemporary world necessitates the use of money, making complete abstention virtually impossible. From an awareness perspective, money should be regarded as a temporarily necessary evil, while in practical terms it should be utilized minimally to reduce its social dominance and psychological influence over our lives. The spiritually evolved person recognizes money as a tool rather than a goal, as means rather than end.
2. Is judging people right or wrong?
Ideally, the spiritually aware individual observes worldly phenomena with a certain emotional detachment, allowing them to remain personally unaffected by surrounding events. However, the boundary between conscious detachment and mindless indifference remains precariously thin, requiring vigilance to avoid confusing the two states. The mindless person remains untouched because they selfishly concern themselves only with their immediate personal domain, inevitably losing sight of the broader existential landscape. When someone attempts to encroach upon their territory, the mindless person responds with disproportionate anger and defensiveness.
In contrast, the spiritually aware individual allows the coarseness of the world to flow over them without resistance because they maintain focus on the comprehensive picture of existence, recognizing that earthly life constitutes merely a fragment of a much larger reality.
Therefore, the question transcends simplistic notions of right or wrong, as these concepts themselves are inherited from the world and, for that very reason, entirely illusory. The external world manifests as nothing but a projection of our internal reality. Consequently, feeling compelled to judge others reveals that we see in them aspects of ourselves that we neither understand nor accept. Paradoxically, the very qualities we seek to eliminate from our consciousness are precisely those that demand our attention for deeper self-understanding and integration.
3. When 99 out of 100 people agree on a given issue, it means that:
Such consensus simply indicates that 99 individuals have embraced the same interpretation of reality, most likely without engaging in profound contemplation about its validity or implications. Simultaneously, the lone dissenter may have detected something overlooked by everyone else, or alternatively, may have developed an even more implausible theory than the majority position.
Since external reality fundamentally represents a projection of our inner world, and concepts of right and wrong equally emerge from the specific temporal and spatial context of our birth and upbringing, we cannot draw definitive conclusions regarding awareness based on consensus alone. History repeatedly demonstrates that majority opinion often reflects collective conditioning rather than deeper truth—what was once universally accepted as fact (such as the earth being flat or the sun revolving around the earth) later proved entirely incorrect. The spiritually aware person recognizes that truth transcends popular opinion and remains wary of arguments based solely on consensus.
4. What is the difference between GOOD SENSE and COMMON SENSE?
Common sense manifests as a widespread phenomenon typical of a particular society—the collectively agreed-upon understanding of reality that most people accept without question. Good sense, conversely, relates to more subjective parameters and therefore connects more intimately with individual consciousness and discernment.
However, in consciential terms, neither common sense nor good sense truly exists independently, as both originate from the logical frameworks of the society in which an individual resides. Consciousness possesses no worldly roots, no political affiliation or nationality, and transcends dualistic notions of good and evil. All these concepts emerge from the mind and the fundamental duality underlying its operational mechanisms. The truly aware person recognizes that what passes for “sense” in any form often merely reflects cultural conditioning rather than universal truth.
5. What do you think about the law?
From an awareness perspective, our extensive need for laws indicates humanity’s persistent immaturity. We might view collective humanity as a child requiring constant parental guidance, who, if left unsupervised for extended periods, would inevitably encounter trouble. This childlike humanity demonstrates no signs of maturation; on the contrary, as time progresses, the demand for laws determining permissible and impermissible actions only increases, reflecting our inability to develop internal moral clarity.
Moreover, historical patterns cyclically repeat themselves despite our elaborate legal frameworks. A spiritually mature individual transcends reasoning in terms of right and wrong, having largely overcome dualistic thinking. Consequently, they perceive human laws not as facilitators of individual consciousness development but rather as potential impediments that can restrict authentic spiritual growth by imposing external rather than internal guidance systems.
Laws represent society’s attempt to impose external order on beings who have not yet developed sufficient internal order. The spiritually evolved person naturally lives in harmony with the deeper ethical principles that underlie formal laws, making extensive legal constraints unnecessary for their personal conduct.
6. At the end of this test you will not receive any results and you will realize that you have been deceived: what are you thinking right now?
This question functions as a control mechanism designed to assess the respondent’s level of self-regulation and sincerity. Those who have provided thoughtful, conscientious responses throughout the test should maintain composure and accept the possibility of deception without emotional reactivity. Conversely, individuals who have offered impulsive, mechanical responses would likely express irritation and resentment at this revelation.
This question reveals much about one’s attachment to outcomes and sense of entitlement. The spiritually aware person recognizes that expectations often lead to disappointment, and can peacefully accept situations that don’t unfold as anticipated. Their equanimity remains undisturbed by external circumstances, including potential deception, as they understand that their reactions reveal more about their consciousness than the events themselves.
INSTINCTUALITY AND SELF-CONTROL
7. What distinguishes human beings from animals?
We must maintain focus on the conceptual foundation of this assessment: measuring consciousness and awareness levels. Analyzing reality lucidly, without succumbing to clichés or emotional reasoning, reveals that the sole genuine distinction between animals and humans lies precisely in consciousness itself. From this fundamental difference emerge all subsequent divergences.
Animals possess no awareness of their birth nor anticipation of their death; humans, however, comprehend both. This awareness generates humanity’s distorted application of rationality, predominantly employed to fabricate justifications for the apparent meaninglessness of purely biological existence. These elaborate rationalizations serve primarily to avoid confronting a simple truth: without its spiritual dimension, existence reduces merely to survival, identical to the animal condition.
Human consciousness allows for self-reflection, moral reasoning, contemplation of existence itself, and the capacity to transcend immediate physical needs—abilities that fundamentally transform our relationship with reality and with ourselves. This is not merely a quantitative difference from animals but a qualitative transformation that creates an entirely different mode of being in the world.
8. Money makes one happy. What do you think?
This seemingly straightforward question harbors unexpected complexity. Money, symbolically, represents our vital energy. Since the external world reflects the internal, those who crave greater monetary wealth reveal a deficiency of inner energy. Conversely, individuals who maintain indifference toward financial accumulation demonstrate greater internal and spiritual equilibrium.
Money appeals to our most primitive instincts—greed, competitiveness, and the desire to quantify everything, including human worth. Human society will never achieve substantial spiritual advancement as long as it perceives the necessity for monetary systems that commodify existence itself. From a consciential perspective, one should work toward minimizing its influence, favoring cooperation, solidarity, selfless assistance, barter, and other exchange systems that honor human connection above transaction.
Since external reality mirrors internal states, if most individuals reduced their psychological dependence on money, society would naturally evolve to become less superficial, competitive, and inequitable. The truly spiritually aware person recognizes money as merely a symbol, neither inherently beneficial nor harmful, but one whose significance we collectively determine through our relationship with it.
9. Someone tells you that a group of people made a stupid and ignorant comment about you, showing that they do not know you at all. How do you react?
The external world manifests as a projection of our internal landscape; therefore, attributing importance to others’ opinions about us reveals an inner emptiness seeking fulfillment. This reaction indicates that we continue searching for answers externally—through others, through actions, through worldly validation—rather than through internal investigation.
Moreover, investing significance in others’ judgments only intensifies personal insecurity, whereas developing inner integrity and accepting the impossibility of universal approval would foster healthier psychological patterns. The spiritually evolved person understands that others’ perceptions often reveal more about the perceiver than the perceived, and can therefore receive criticism without defensive reactions or emotional disturbance.
True self-knowledge creates a foundation of internal security that remains unshaken by external opinions, whether flattering or condemning. This represents not indifference to others but freedom from psychological dependence on their validation—a state that allows for authentic connection rather than connection based on seeking approval.
10. Regarding vices, what are your thoughts?
From a psychological perspective, vices represent internal voids and deficiencies—often affective or emotional—which individuals attempt to fill through attachment to ephemeral pleasures generated by substances or behaviors like cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, or other addictive patterns. From a spiritual perspective, however, vices constitute nothing more than sensory illusions that temporarily mask deeper existential discomfort.
What one person finds pleasurable may repel another entirely. The same experience generates different interpretations depending on the consciousness experiencing it. An evolved consciousness distinguishes the illusory from the authentic and therefore remains unlikely to develop sensory addictions that promise fulfillment but deliver only temporary escape.
Vices typically function as substitutes for genuine spiritual connection and inner peace. They offer immediate but fleeting relief from the discomfort of ordinary consciousness, a pale imitation of the profound contentment available through spiritual awareness. The spiritually evolved person does not require these substitutes, having discovered more authentic sources of fulfillment through inner development.
MATERIALISM AND CONSUMERISM
11. “The things you own end up owning you”. This quote comes from a movie called Fight Club. What does it make you think of?
This film portrays the moral deterioration of human beings habituated to comfort and convenience, illustrating how material indulgence erodes spiritual vitality. The protagonist initially believes happiness emerges from acquiring the desirable objects that advertising compels him to possess. Eventually, he develops an alter ego driving him in the opposite direction, leading him to relinquish material possessions and seek pain and suffering to finally experience authentic aliveness.
At this transformative juncture, he achieves the profound realization that objects (and money) represent illusions, and that we possess nothing not already inherent within us. The externalized search for fulfillment through acquisition inevitably leads to a spiritual dead end, as genuine contentment can only arise from internal sources.
Our possessions begin to possess us when we derive our identity from them, when our self-worth becomes entangled with our ownership status, and when the fear of losing what we have paralyzes our spiritual growth. True freedom requires a relationship with material objects characterized by appreciation without attachment—using them when beneficial but remaining unharmed by their absence.
12. In your opinion, is advertising really necessary?
Advertising, like money, primarily stimulates humanity’s most primitive drives. It generates induced demands—needs that would not exist without advertising’s creation of them. The mechanism operates cyclically: advertising produces internal emptiness, then prescribes how to fill it through consumption, perpetuating an endless cycle of desire and temporary satisfaction.
Truly essential necessities require no advertisement—have you considered this profound truth? Would people cease eating without food advertisements? If automotive and pharmaceutical advertisements disappeared, would people’s addiction to these products diminish? The questions answer themselves.
Advertising functions primarily as a manipulation system designed to create artificial needs that serve economic interests rather than human flourishing. By constantly suggesting that we lack something essential, it maintains a persistent state of dissatisfaction that drives consumption but prevents contentment. The spiritually aware person recognizes these mechanisms and develops immunity to manufactured desires, focusing instead on authentic needs that arise organically from their true nature.
13. The idea of leaving leftover food on your plate and then throwing it away (whether at home or at a restaurant), how does it affect you?
From a spiritual perspective, waste as a concept lacks fundamental reality, as everything serves some purpose within the broader cosmic framework. Wastefulness therefore implies failure to properly utilize available resources, demonstrating an inability to comprehend their significance within existence’s complex mosaic. Those who acquire more than necessary, subsequently discarding the excess, reveal their entrapment in purely materialistic thinking, prioritizing possession over authentic being.
Consider this thought experiment: imagine that wasted food as a fragment of yourself, recognizing that every element in the universe connects fundamentally with all others. Would you casually discard a portion of your own body? This perspective reveals the deeply disconnected relationship with resources that characterizes contemporary consumer society.
Moreover, psychologically, the wasteful individual demonstrates inadequate self-knowledge regarding personal limitations and needs. Moderation has consistently been esteemed as a virtue precisely because it demands active mastery over instinctual drives, representing conscious living rather than unconscious consumption. The spiritually aware person approaches resources with reverence, recognizing that mindful use of what we need—no more and no less—represents alignment with natural harmony.
14. If you could create an ideal world, what would you increase and what would you decrease?
The superficial individual most entangled in worldly logic typically responds that we need more rights, more wealth, and similar external changes—all illusory solutions destined for transience. Conversely, the person possessing broader, more transcendental existential vision seeks elements perceived as enduring: justice, beauty, truth, compassion, and awareness itself.
This question reveals much about our relationship with duality and our understanding of what constitutes authentic improvement. Those fixed in materialistic thinking often believe ideal worlds require more of what already exists—more technology, more comfort, more convenience—rather than qualitative transformation of consciousness itself. The spiritually aware person recognizes that no external change can create an ideal world without corresponding internal evolution, and that genuine improvement begins with consciousness rather than circumstance.
INTROVERSION AND EXTROVERSION
15. What kind of relationship do you have with noise?
Whether one embraces this concept or not, tolerance for noise correlates inversely with spiritual sensitivity. Noise scatters the mind, disrupts concentration, and impedes attunement with one’s soul. Silence forms the foundation of virtually all authentic spiritual practices across traditions and cultures. In more transcendental terms, silence distances us from worldly distractions, while noise perpetually returns us to material preoccupations.
This fundamental relationship explains why many people experience discomfort with silence—it compels us to listen to our soul’s voice; however, if the soul suffers from neglect or distress, its communications may prove deeply uncomfortable, even disturbing. The spiritually aware person cultivates comfort with silence, recognizing it not as an absence but as a presence that allows subtle realities to become perceptible.
In silence, we encounter ourselves without distraction—a meeting that can prove initially unsettling for those unaccustomed to their own unfiltered company. Yet this encounter represents an essential gateway to deeper consciousness, allowing access to dimensions of awareness normally drowned out by the constant sensory bombardment of contemporary existence.
16. Which of the following situations inspires you the most?
This inquiry parallels the previous question, similarly addressing silence and solitude. The perpetual need for others’ company, activity, and noise indicates a mind distracted by and dependent upon sensory stimulation. Conversely, the desire for solitude and tranquility stems from the necessity to nurture one’s soul and reclaim personal integrity after engagement with societal chaos and disorder.
The spiritually aware person values both connection and solitude, recognizing that each serves different aspects of consciousness. Social engagement allows for the expression of compassion, understanding, and service to others, while solitude provides the essential space for integration, reflection, and direct communion with deeper aspects of being. Balance between these states—rather than exclusive preference for either—characterizes mature spiritual development.
17. Which of the scenarios proposed below causes you the most discomfort?
Introversion typically characterizes individuals with heightened sensitivity and spiritual acuity. This doesn’t imply that extroverted personalities lack depth; however, their constant need for social engagement and practical activity complicates the process of inner exploration. Similarly, we cannot assume that introverted or shy individuals automatically possess greater awareness, although their temperament facilitates soul attunement more readily.
Reading in solitude stimulates contemplation and creativity, while participating in crowded, high-stimulation environments serves the diametrically opposite purpose of “disconnecting” from deeper consciousness. The spiritually aware person recognizes the value of both states but understands that profound inner work typically requires conditions that support rather than scatter attention.
Our comfort or discomfort with different environments reveals much about our relationship with consciousness itself. Those who feel uneasy in quiet, contemplative settings often fear what they might discover when external distractions fall away—the unexamined aspects of self that lie waiting beneath the surface of ordinary awareness.
18. Why do people seem to be more swaggering and confident when interacting virtually?
This phenomenon emerges when individuals lack a coherent identity and attempt—consciously or unconsciously—to adapt to their social context. Keen observation reveals how people selectively display only favorable aspects online, creating the illusion of perfect lives through careful curation. We recognize this pattern’s prevalence, understanding that behind these carefully constructed facades often lies a narcissistic need for validation, acceptance, and belonging.
Those who possess genuine self-knowledge and acknowledge their limitations require no such performance. Virtual environments allow for identity construction unconstrained by physical reality, enabling the projection of idealized selves that may bear little resemblance to authentic being. The spiritually aware person maintains consistency across contexts—virtual or physical—recognizing that authentic presence transcends medium.
This question illuminates our relationship with vulnerability and authenticity. The gap between physical and virtual presentation often reveals precisely what we wish to hide about ourselves—the insecurities, limitations, and wounds we prefer to keep concealed. True spiritual development requires embracing these aspects rather than constructing elaborate presentations designed to conceal them.
DOUBTS AND CERTAINTIES
19. Do you prefer to ask yourself questions or give yourself answers?
As countless philosophers throughout history have affirmed, including Socrates, ignorance—particularly unrecognized ignorance—causes tremendous suffering, while knowledge offers the only viable remedy. The desire for knowledge emerges from doubt rather than from illusory certainties provided by conventional wisdom. The authentic spiritual seeker poses numerous questions while offering few definitive answers, recognizing that ultimate truth transcends our complete comprehension and that continued inquiry represents our most honest response.
Questions open doorways; answers can close them prematurely. The spiritually aware person values the question for its power to expand consciousness rather than contract it through premature conclusion. This doesn’t imply that answers lack value, but rather that they serve best when held provisionally, subject to refinement through ongoing inquiry rather than defended as final positions.
The preference for questions or answers reveals our relationship with uncertainty—whether we experience it as threatening or as the very space where growth becomes possible. Those who rush toward answers often seek the comfort of certainty more than the challenge of truth, while those who dwell in questioning cultivate tolerance for the ambiguity that characterizes authentic spiritual exploration.
20. Below you will find a number of more or less common beliefs, choose the one you feel is most true:
Earthly existence represents merely a moment within the broader and more complex journey of consciousness. We benefit from embracing the positive experiences it offers without overemphasizing societal values, which invariably rest upon fickle and transitory foundations. Ideally, we might approach life as a game, engaging with childlike seriousness while maintaining awareness that we participate in establishing its rules and parameters.
Alternatively, we might view life as a journey without predetermined destination, negating the need to establish permanent roots in any specific circumstance or belief system. The spiritually aware person maintains both engagement and detachment—fully participating in life’s experiences while recognizing their impermanent nature.
This perspective allows for both the joy of immersion in experience and the freedom of non-attachment to outcomes. It acknowledges life’s profound significance without burdening it with ultimacy, creating space for both meaningful participation and spiritual transcendence.
21. What do you think about regret and remorse?
From a spiritual perspective, distinguishing between regret and remorse lacks substantial meaning, as both emerge from the dualistic interpretations characteristic of the human mind. Between regrets and remorses exists the same distinction as between action and inaction—the difference lies not in the phenomena themselves but in our interpretation of them.
Whether we choose action or inaction, we must first recognize that we attribute certain values to our choices rather than the choices inherently possessing those values. We are not defined by our actions; rather, our actions express what we already are. The spiritually aware person recognizes that both action and inaction carry consequences, and that our relationship with those consequences—rather than the specific choices themselves—reveals our level of consciousness.
This perspective liberates us from the paralysis often accompanying excessive concern with “right” or “wrong” choices, allowing instead for choices that authentically express our current understanding while remaining open to learning from their consequences. Neither regret nor remorse serves consciousness when they fixate attention on an unchangeable past rather than informing a more awakened present.
22. Do you put your trust in politics?
Political discourse inherently divides, emerging from an entirely artificial—and dualistic—worldview. Despite its apparent childishness, most people continue believing that reality cleanly divides into good and evil, right and wrong, with their preferred position invariably representing the former. Awareness involves recognizing that neither political position inherently surpasses the other, and that politics merely projects our collective consciousness into institutional form.
Politics encompasses everything from self-serving corruption to genuine idealism—mirroring humanity’s full spectrum. Consciousness also involves understanding that delegating personal power and responsibility to external authorities perpetuates division, creating cycles that maintain human awareness at remarkably low levels through the externalization of authority.
The spiritually aware person recognizes politics as a necessary but limited dimension of collective organization, neither dismissing it entirely nor investing it with ultimate significance. They participate as conscience dictates while understanding that genuine transformation always begins with consciousness rather than policy, with inner revolution rather than outer reform.
23. Truth and relativism: what is the relationship between them?
Absolute certainty remains perpetually beyond our grasp. Believing ourselves in possession of final truth represents the ultimate illusion. Though potentially frustrating to acknowledge, everything relates to the observer’s perspective and consciousness level. A child will interpret natural phenomena entirely differently than a specialized scientist studying the same occurrences. The scientist possesses greater awareness regarding specific phenomena but may not necessarily demonstrate greater consciousness in absolute terms.
Since awareness constitutes an endless journey rather than a finite destination, what matters most is avoiding the presumption of having reached a final conclusion. The spiritually aware person holds even their deepest understandings provisionally, remaining open to refinement and expansion rather than defending positions as complete or final.
This perspective allows truth to function as a horizon that guides our journey rather than a territory we can claim to possess. It creates space for both committed engagement with our current understanding and openness to perspectives that might transform it—a balance that characterizes mature spiritual development.
RELIGIOSITY AND SPIRITUALITY
24. What is the difference between HAVING FAITH and BELIEVING?
The quest for truth progresses through several phases. It begins with emptiness, advances through doubt, formulates increasingly specific inquiries, identifies potential answers, then recommences the cycle. Believing represents the most immediate and simplistic response to doubt’s emergence. Faith, conversely, constitutes an elaborate response arising from deeper internal contemplation.
The believer never reaches the stage where questions become incessant, perhaps fearing the implications of questioning everything. Those with faith do not fear questions but simultaneously require definitive answers that provide stability and meaning. The spiritual seeker continues beyond both positions, willing to question even hard-won faith when deeper truth requires it.
This distinction reveals our relationship with certainty and uncertainty—whether we require fixed positions to function or can navigate the ambiguity inherent in authentic spiritual inquiry. Belief often seeks to eliminate doubt, faith incorporates it, and spiritual seeking embraces it as an essential catalyst for continued evolution.
25. What do you think about Reincarnation?
Reincarnation represents an established phenomenon in spiritual research across traditions and cultures. Numerous testimonies document individuals, particularly children, who recall previous lives with verifiable details. Sometimes these memories even encompass future incarnations. Eastern philosophical traditions contain extensive information regarding reincarnation, proposing theories and practices designed to interrupt the incarnation cycle and ultimately liberate consciousness from this mechanism.
Underlying reincarnation lies the recognition that we exist fundamentally as ethereal, immortal entities who, for reasons not fully comprehensible to embodied consciousness, incarnate within biological forms to experience material existence with its characteristic duality. The spiritually aware person maintains openness to this perspective without necessarily requiring absolute certainty about specific mechanisms.
This question reveals our relationship with mortality and continuity—whether we conceive of consciousness as fundamentally limited to one lifetime or as an ongoing journey through multiple expressions. The former perspective tends to intensify attachment and fear, while the latter facilitates a more expansive relationship with both living and dying.
26. Here are a series of statements about religion. Which among them comes closest to your own thinking?
Religion and spirituality share little common ground, just as legislated laws bear tenuous connection to ideal justice. While spirituality seeks the absolute, religion often pursues worldly relativism. We might reasonably conclude that religious institutions primarily emerged for political purposes—to control populations and prevent development of potentially “dangerous” individual consciousness that might threaten established power structures.
As with most phenomena, religions resist simple categorization as wholly positive or negative. They function as components within an evolutionary process progressing from lower to higher consciousness. Religious dogmas and contradictions can actually trigger valuable doubts and questions, initiating broader inquiry that may ultimately transcend the very traditions that inspired it.
The spiritually aware person distinguishes between religious institutions and the mystical experiences they simultaneously celebrate and domesticate. They recognize that authentic spiritual insight formed the seed from which religious structures grew, while understanding that these structures often preserve the shell while losing the kernel of direct experience they were created to honor.
27. The law of cause and effect (Karma) states that our every action generates effects in this life and/or the next. What are your thoughts on this?
Karma possesses no inherent polarity—it is neither positive nor negative in essence. Karma varies in intensity and relates intimately to awareness. The motivations and intentions underlying our actions or inactions, depending on our consciousness regarding them, generate varying karmic patterns. The unaware individual carries substantial karmic burden, since insufficient reflection upon their actions prevents recognition of evolutionary significance, leading to repetition of the same patterns.
Since karma connects with reincarnation, those living ritualistically and superficially incarnate repeatedly in similar circumstances, trapped within cyclical patterns. Conversely, those living consciously need not repeatedly experience identical situations, eventually achieving complete liberation from incarnation cycles.
This perspective offers a framework for understanding how consciousness shapes experience across multiple lifetimes, providing context for otherwise inexplicable circumstances and opportunities for accelerated evolution through awareness. The spiritually aware person recognizes that karma represents not punishment or reward but the natural unfolding of cause and effect through which consciousness learns and evolves.
28. Do Good and Evil really exist?
This returns us to duality’s fundamental question. The distinction between good and evil represents an illusion emerging from the mind’s operation, which divides everything into opposing pairs for analysis. Our cognitive processes fundamentally progress through contrast and differentiation, creating artificial boundaries within what exists as a unified whole.
In spiritual dimensions, separation dissolves into complementarity. The mind divides; spirit unifies. With this understanding, moral categories of good and evil reveal themselves as mental constructs—projections from mind to external world. Reality itself transcends such categorization; we perceive it as good or evil depending on our consciousness level.
The spiritually aware person recognizes that moral polarities emerge from particular perspectives rather than existing as absolute realities. This doesn’t justify harmful actions but places them within a broader context where judgment gives way to understanding, and condemnation transforms into compassion for the limited consciousness from which harmful actions inevitably spring.
DUALISM AND DUALITY
29. Free will may be defined as:
As with advertising, here we encounter the opposition between internal and external. We might conceptualize the external world as mirroring the internal. When someone experiences internal freedom, their external circumstances reflect this liberated state. However, internal freedom frequently leads to non-action, or wu-wei, having recognized that actions merely reflect deeper consciousness existing independently of external manifestations.
Why acquire objects after realizing their inability to fulfill genuine needs? Thus we understand that authentic freedom resides not in doing and having but in being. The spiritually aware person recognizes that free will operates not primarily as the ability to choose between external options but as the freedom to determine one’s relationship with whatever circumstances arise—the freedom to choose consciousness rather than reactivity.
This perspective transforms our understanding of freedom from external permissiveness to internal sovereignty, from the ability to do whatever we want to the ability to want what aligns with our deepest nature. It locates freedom in consciousness itself rather than in particular expressions of that consciousness.
30. Choose the noun combination that makes the most sense to you:
This question explores our relationship with the mind’s characteristic duality, which compels division of experience into opposing elements between which we must choose. In spiritual dimensions, dualism dissolves into complementarity, revealing apparent opposites as aspects of unified reality. The choice of paired concepts indicates spiritual sensitivity. More aware individuals prefer nuanced, less divisive combinations, while those embedded in earthly logic select clear, measurable dichotomies like Wealth-Poverty.
The spiritually aware person recognizes that paired opposites create each other conceptually—we cannot understand light without darkness, pleasure without pain, wealth without poverty. This recognition allows transcendence of the compulsion to choose sides, instead embracing the creative tension between apparent opposites as the very dynamic through which consciousness evolves.
31. A world in which there is no money or work. How does that affect you?
This question may provoke amusement, yet it carries profound implications. Can you genuinely envision a moneyless world? Or does the concept itself provoke discomfort and resistance? The former response indicates at minimum the open-mindedness necessary for consciousness development; the latter suggests significant impediments to spiritual growth.
Transformation invariably begins with doubt and/or suffering; however, satisfaction with current worldly arrangements precludes meaningful change. The spiritually aware person maintains the capacity to imagine radically different arrangements of human society, recognizing that current systems represent not inevitable reality but particular expressions of consciousness that can evolve as consciousness itself evolves.
This capacity for imagining alternatives—whether or not they seem immediately practical—keeps consciousness fluid rather than fixed, expanding rather than contracting around familiar patterns. It allows us to participate in the world as it exists while simultaneously holding vision for what it might become.
32. Imagine a person who was able to become rich and well established from a modest family. What’s your first thought?
Money again features centrally alongside factors related to social recognition and admiration. Analyzing this scenario from a consciousness perspective, neither financial success nor social status carry inherent spiritual significance—they may manifest without active pursuit. The situation would differ substantially if we knew definitively that the individual actively sought wealth and fame, but without such evidence, wisdom suggests maintaining an open and discerning attitude.
The spiritually aware person neither automatically admires nor condemns material success, recognizing that external circumstances reveal little about internal consciousness. They understand that the same external achievements may represent either egoic striving or genuine service, depending on the consciousness from which they emerge and the purposes they serve.
33. Last and most important question, it can completely overturn the outcome of the test (*): how do you rate the questions of this test?
This final question carries less weight than others but maintains validity by investigating the respondent’s awareness regarding the assessment itself. Clearly, those considering the questionnaire trivial or tedious have missed its essential purpose, likely expecting entertainment rather than contemplation. Conversely, those noting missing options demonstrate, at minimum, engagement with the material presented.
The spiritually aware person approaches even seemingly simple questions with depth and curiosity, recognizing that the most profound truths often hide in plain sight, clothed in apparent simplicity. They understand that the value of any spiritual inquiry lies not in predetermined answers but in the quality of attention and consciousness we bring to the questions themselves.
Awareness Test and Awakening Test: Interpreting the outcomes
Foreword
In the use of these two unique instruments, the degree of open-mindedness and the level of attention play a key role, in addition to the age of the user. The responses are qualitative, reasoned; if read hastily and superficially they inevitably lead to a modest score.
General warnings
The awareness and the awakening tests should therefore be taken with utmost concentration, striving to understand the meaning of each answer, though seemingly trivial, before making one’s choices. Regarding the open-mindedness rate, it should be specified that the test setting requires the user to possess a certain degree of maturity and inclination toward introspection. It is unlikely that a teenager under the age of 16 would be able to grasp certain nuances inherent in the questions and answers, so it is recommended that younger people who nevertheless wish to take these two tests should do so in the company of an adult to act as a support.
Warnings for the hurried
Similarly, even an adult person accustomed to going about daily life on “autopilot” with little desire to get to the bottom of things would find these two tests hostile and uninteresting. If this is the case for you, our advice is to come back when you have an hour of time all to yourself, and only after you have emptied your mind of duties, responsibilities, and anything else that might push you to appear a certain way. Remember that giving quick, impulsive answers always leads toward a low-medium score anyway.
Authentic answers and socially desirable answers
A common problem with all personality tests, or perhaps we should say all people, is that which lies in the difference between answers perceived as genuine and those perceived as socially desirable. The most insecure individuals, those who give more weight to others’ opinions and appearances, as well as to so-called “political correctness“, show a certain predisposition toward answers that are considered “right”, but not necessarily perceived as authentic.
Let’s give an example; let’s look at the awareness test question about making judgments. We noticed that a lot of people choose this answer: judging is always wrong. But how many really feel that way? And how many, if they felt completely free from social conditioning, would rather pick this other option: we all make judgments, however, it is not necessary to externalize them (?).
If you feel that this may be the case for you, there’s no problem. Now that you’ve taken note of the issue, you might like to repeat our personality tests treasuring this new awareness, and you will see that the final result will be more interesting.
Now to the interpretation of the results
We assume that you have read the questions and answers carefully, that you have made your choices sincerely, and that your age is at least 16. If you are under 16 years of age, you should not be alarmed in case your score is low; it is perfectly normal. Come back and see us in a few years.
If you scored modestly (levels 1-2-3), it means that:
– your consciousness is still in its infancy, either because you are too caught up in the material aspects of life (work, money, etc.), or because you lack spirituality and therefore believe, consciously or unconsciously, that human existence is reduced to just doing, consuming, possessing. Basically, you identify with what you do, what you own, and the concrete, measurable results you achieve. What is missing is the aspect related to Being and Feeling, without which, unfortunately, there is no possibility of developing awareness beyond ego and the perceptions of the five senses.
If you scored intermediate (levels 4-5), on the other hand, it means that:
– your consciousness is alive, responsive and potentially ready to continue on its journey of expansion toward the infinite. This is especially true for those who are still young, say 40 and under. Those at an older age rarely experience jolts at the consciousness level, although in this field nothing can be ruled out with certainty. It is a journey of no return, meaning that once a broader form of awareness is acquired, there is no possibility of turning back. Moreover, progress in spiritual terms involves leaving behind everything that is not needed, having less in order to be more. That is why many decide, consciously or unconsciously, to settle for an alternate consciousness.
If your score is high (levels 6-7), we can say that:
– you are a keen observer, curious, who seeks more authentic meaning even in the seemingly obvious and predictable things. An individual who is unsatisfied, though not in regard to material matters, but rather on a spiritual level. Generally those who come to this level of consciousness do not do so by accident, but as a consequence of a conscious personal choice. Since you cannot return to being unconscious, your fate would seem to be sealed: you will have to continue on this path, whether you like it or not. If you try to do otherwise you will end up betraying your nature and you will find no satisfaction in doing so. If these words sound bizarre or incomprehensible to you, then chances are that you scored high by pure chance or because you were trying to unearth the “right” answers.
SPHERES OF INTEREST (Awakening Test only)
There are four so-called spheres of interest and they investigate certain areas of consciousness and behavior, while being, of course, interrelated. The score indicates the degree of advancement in that given field. Specifically they concern:
– Detachment
The opposite of attachment, that is, the ability to psychologically detach oneself from everything that is worldly: objects, money, work, affections. Yes, even interpersonal relationships are part of this sphere: the soul seeks the absolute, while most earthly relationships based on kinship and mutual need are entirely transitory. Beware: when talking about attachment to objects, it should be understood that the issue is not the object itself (whatever it is), but the inner perception, whether conscious or unconscious, that we cannot live without it.
– Disillusionment
After an initial phase of upset, denial and anger, comes disillusionment. The ego resists and does not want to give up its illusions and false certainties; while the soul, which observes things from an unearthly perspective, begins little by little to demolish everything that is no longer needed.
– Inconvenience
A comfortable and leisurely life does not promote spiritual evolution and is ill-suited to the awakening process. Like it or not, suffering is a potential spiritual catalyst, and knowing how to distance oneself from the many conveniences of this consumerist world is a crucial first step toward a renewed vision of existence.
– Symptomatology
The process of soul awakening reveals itself through a complex series of symptoms and phenomena that are not always easy to grasp. We tried to collect the most common and typical ones from the early and middle stages of the awakening journey.
