Living in Harmony — The Divine Holarchy examination

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

Power, rank and obedience Wealth, health and success, at least in the way it is usually presented Solitude, silence and withdrawal Unity, love and interconnectedness

Distractions from the true work of inner growth, whatever the surrounding context happens to be Replacements for any kind of personal practice Places where people prove their knowledge to others Incubators where seeds of wisdom sprout in community
Which small daily acts does the module say ripple through the cosmic tapestry?

Grand public ceremonies that are held once a year Private thoughts that never lead to any kind of action A kind smile to a stranger Donations that are made only in order to gain recognition
How does the module describe meditation in relation to daily life?

An escape from the responsibilities of ordinary daily life A replacement for both personal reflection and journaling, on the assumption that nothing else needs to change A practice suited only to monks and trained specialists Not an escape, but an exploration of silence that brings clarity
What does the module ask of practitioners as they grow?

Adopting an entirely new tradition every few months Willingness to adapt practices as they grow Abandoning practice once a sense of harmony arrives Keeping every practice exactly as first learned
A reader finishes the course and asks what comes next. Which response best reflects the module?

The work is complete and no further practice is needed The next step is to find a single authority to follow The journey continues through intention, practice and community The teachings should now be kept private from others, particularly when the pressure is highest
