In Company — Desire as Divine Communication examination

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

Why does the module say the work does not end in private?

Desire is shaped in relationship, so it is reshaped there Private practice turns out to be ineffective for most people Desire can only really be felt in the presence of other people A group is needed to enforce discipline and keep people on track
Why can a small circle discern faster than one person alone, according to the module?

Blind spots are asymmetrical; others see what you cannot Groups average out individual desires into a shared consensus Others have more authority than you do to judge your desires Sharing makes desires less intense and so easier to manage
What is the single requirement for all the partner and group work?

Complete agreement among members A trained facilitator in every session Deep listening without advice Sharing only desires already resolved
In a sharing circle, a listener offers a helpful reframe of someone's desire. How does this fit the module's guidance?

It departs from it; the well-meant redirect is excluded It fits well, since a good reframe speeds up discernment It fits, provided the reframe is spiritually accurate It fits as long as the reframe is offered kindly
What experience does the module say deep listening offers?

Receiving expert advice on what you ought to want Being corrected gently by people who care about you Hearing others confirm the beliefs you already hold Being heard about something you have never said aloud
How large should the vulnerable-sharing circle be, per the module?

Two people only, for full privacy Twelve or more, for a range of views Three to eight trusting people Any size, including strangers
In the partner practice for illuminating blind spots, what does the listening partner reflect?

Their own opinion of the desire's merit A plan for how to fulfill the desire What they hear beneath the words Whether the desire is authentic or wounded
What is the focus after each person shares in the circle?

Honoring each person's experience Voting on which desire most deserves to be pursued Assigning action steps to the person who has shared Comparing desires to find out which is most authentic
What does the group pattern exercise ask participants to explore collectively?

What shared stories reveal about desire's intelligence Which member's desires turn out to be the most spiritual How the group can arrive at one shared collective desire Which of the desires the group should agree to reject
Which line best expresses the module's view of how the shift spreads?

It spreads through relationship or not at all It spreads through solitude and silence It spreads through teaching and instruction It spreads through effort and willpower
Which discussion question is offered for community dialogue?
