Living as Desire — Desire as Divine Communication examination

Eleven questions. Nine of eleven passes, and you can take it again as often as you like.

What threshold does the closing module describe?

The practices become more demanding, formal and time-consuming The practices are finished and can finally be set aside The practices must be taught to others in order to continue The practices stop being things you do and become how you move
How does the module say this threshold is recognized?

Quietly; one day you notice the question arrived on its own Dramatically, through a single overwhelming breakthrough Formally, through a teacher's recognition of your progress Completely, through the permanent end of all conditioning
Why, according to the module, has the body become a reliable instrument?

Because you finally perfected your technique through effort Because you kept returning to it Because conditioning has now disappeared from your life Because the mind has stopped interfering with it entirely
Why has discernment become quick?

You have become cleverer at analyzing each desire The test has been run so often that it now runs itself You have stopped having any conditioned wants at all You have memorized a reliable list of authentic desires
How does the module describe the shadow at this stage?

Fully eliminated at last through many years of repeated practice Still dangerous, and needing to be guarded against constantly A part of you doing its best with old information Irrelevant, since it turns out it never really mattered
How has release changed by this point?

It has become a dramatic ceremony that must be performed each time It is no longer needed at all, since nothing is carried anymore Unremarkable, like setting down a bag you noticed It now requires a witness to be present in order to be effective
The module admits you will still sometimes chase a mirage. What does it call the whole skill?

Never being conditioned again The recovery, which is now faster Avoiding every mistaken desire Fulfilling every authentic desire
What was the invitation of the course, as the closing states it?

To want less, and so to suffer a great deal less To want more, and so to achieve a great deal more To stop wanting, and so to finally find lasting peace To want truly, and let that change what you build
What does desire finally reveal itself as, in the module's highest purpose?

A test of self-control that must be passed Life's loving communication with your soul A biological drive with no deeper meaning A distraction from genuine spiritual growth
Which description best matches the mature practice?

A way of being that forgets it was ever learned A technique performed at set times on each day A set of rules applied carefully to every decision A discipline that requires constant effort to sustain
What relationship to wanting remains in the life the module describes?

Wanting has been transcended entirely Wanting is neither your master nor your enemy Wanting is a master, obeyed without question Wanting is an enemy, held firmly in check
