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

How does the module characterise sacred sex at its core?

An exclusive discipline requiring years of formal initiation A fixed sequence of techniques to be followed exactly A celebration of connection that meets you where you are A reliable way to reach a perfect experience every time
In cosmoerotic humanism, what does the word 'erotic' refer to?

Physical attraction between two people, and nothing beyond that The life force pulsing through every connection, not only sensuality A private feeling that should be kept separate from daily life Artistic depictions of romance and desire throughout history
How does cosmoerotic humanism position human beings in relation to the universe?

As separate from nature and the cosmos altogether As beings who must escape the physical world to find meaning As small observers with no influence on anything larger As active participants and co-creators, not mere spectators
What does the module mean by cosmoerotic humanism's 'refusal to compartmentalise'?

Love and intimacy are part of a larger whole, not isolated events Every area of life should be scheduled with exactly equal time Spiritual life and physical life should be kept firmly apart Partners should share every private thought without any limit
In the jam session image, what role does the body play?

The lightning bolt, sparking brief moments of intimate transcendence The messenger, translating sensation into a language older than words The storyteller, crafting and whispering the narrative of connection The conductor, deciding exactly when each of the other parts may play
What does the module say about seeking perfect balance between mind, body and spirit?

It depends on following a teacher's precise method step by step It must be fully achieved before any sacred practice can begin It arrives only after the mind has been completely quieted It isn't the aim; the interplay, even dissonance, holds the beauty
A couple wants to create a ritual setting but has little space or money. What does the module suggest?

That it is reserved for a spiritual elite or needs mystical rituals That it encourages a playful curiosity about oneself That it involves any kind of physical touch or closeness between the partners That it can be practised by people who are in relationships

Trading play for seriousness, and emotion for careful control Trading everyday life for occasional retreats Trading judgment for curiosity and perfection for presence Trading solitude for constant company
