Consistent Practice — The Divine Holarchy examination

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

How does the module describe intentions in the spiritual journey?

Fixed vows that must never be changed once made, at least in the way it is usually presented Beacons that guide the path and can evolve over time Rules set by a teacher for the student to follow Private wishes best kept vague and unspoken
Which questions does the module suggest for setting spiritual intentions?

What qualities do I wish to embody, and what impact do I want? Which practice will bring me the quickest material reward? What do the people around me expect me to be doing?, provided nothing else changes in the meantime How can I become visibly more spiritual than other people?
According to the module, what is meditation about?

Escaping from the world into a restful sleep Solving practical problems through careful analysis Emptying the mind of every thought permanently, regardless of the specific circumstances involved Filling the mind with awareness of interconnectedness
What does the module suggest as a starting point for meditation?

Long guided visualisations from day one Complex mantras in an unfamiliar language Simple breath-focused meditation Silent retreats lasting several weeks
Which journaling exercise does the module suggest?

Listing the faults of the people around you each evening, as long as the surface behaviour looks right Writing about when you felt closest to the divine that day Copying passages from sacred texts word for word Recording only the mistakes you made during each day
What does gratitude journaling do, according to the module?

It replaces the need for any other practice It proves one's spiritual progress to other people It shifts focus to abundance and interconnection It records the debts that must be repaid to others
How does the module characterise consistency in spiritual practice?

A disciplined freedom, steady like tides and seasons A burden that should be lifted whenever possible A rigid rule that allows no variation at all, without addressing what is actually driving the pattern An optional extra once real insight has arrived
What image does the module use for the cumulative effect of consistent practice?

Each practice as a wave that erases the one before Each practice as a door that can be opened only once Each practice as a coin dropped into a closed box Each practice as a step on an infinite staircase
What does authenticity on the spiritual path involve, according to the module?

Avoiding any practice that has a long tradition Following exactly the same practices as one's family Exploring practices that resonate with your own truth Adopting whichever spiritual path is most popular, as long as the surface behaviour looks right
How does the module describe the role of nature in spiritual connection?

A living testament to unity in which we are participants A pleasant backdrop with no real spiritual significance A distraction from the more important inner spiritual work A resource that exists to be used for human purposes only
How does the module describe the shape of each person's path to the Divine Holarchy?

A single leap of faith made only once in a lifetime, which is the assumption most people start with A straight road with exactly the same stages for everyone A closed circle that always returns to where it began A spiralling journey inward and outward that keeps evolving
