From Deities to Everyday Manifestation — The Divine Holarchy examination

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

What image does the module use for how divine energy moves down through the holarchy?

A ladder that each being must climb on its own A locked vault that is opened only on holy days A celestial river that meanders and spirals A single straight beam of light from sky to earth
What principle does the module place at the heart of the divine flow?

Reciprocity between the seen and the unseen Scarcity within a limited supply of divine energy Isolation, with each level acting on its own Obedience within a one-way chain of command
How does the module describe the effect of human thoughts, actions and intentions on the divine flow?

Like drops lost in an ocean, with no effect at all, under ordinary, everyday circumstances Like pebbles in a river, rippling beyond what we perceive Like walls that block the flow from reaching others Like maps that record the flow without changing it
How do major deities infuse the holarchy with their will, according to the module?

As indifference that leaves the universe to itself As a harmonious offering, not as domination As domination that removes choice from lower beings As bargaining in exchange for human worship
What role do ancestral spirits play, as the module describes it?

Judges who decide the fate of every living person Messengers who speak only to recognised religious leaders A link to past wisdom, offering guidance and protection Rulers of the natural elements such as fire and water
According to the module, what two qualities does manifestation require?

Clarity to name desires and surrender to the divine flow Secrecy to protect desires and force to achieve them Detachment from desires and silence about intentions, as a short-term fix rather than a lasting change Speed to act quickly and certainty to ignore all doubt
How does the module describe rituals?

Private performances that are meant mainly to impress others Replacements for any kind of personal inner practice Empty customs that are kept only for the sake of tradition, at least in the way it is usually presented Conduits creating sacred space where human and divine harmonise
What does the module say prayer requires?

Precise wording learned from a qualified teacher Only a sincere heart and an open mind A special place set apart for that purpose alone Esoteric knowledge of the whole divine hierarchy
Why does the module say prayer embodies reciprocity?

We repeat the very same words that the divine speaks We give offerings and expect exact payment in return We not only speak to the divine but also listen We speak on behalf of those who cannot pray themselves
Which tradition's example of divine manifestation does the module give as Bodhisattvas?

Hinduism, where the gods take on incarnate form Christianity, where miracles reveal the divine will Shamanic traditions, where spirits speak through nature Buddhism, where enlightened beings stay to help others
Which three qualities does the module name for aligning personal practice with the holarchy?

Mindfulness, gratitude and compassion Solitude, fasting and silence Fear, obedience and sacrifice Ambition, discipline and competition, regardless of the specific circumstances involved
