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

Who are the four musicians in 'The Symphony of Archetypes'?

A guide, a builder, a storyteller and a trickster A gardener, a weaver, a fisherman and a traveller A king, a queen, a jester and a knight A warrior, a sage, a lover and a trickster
How did Caelum the trickster play?

Melodies overflowing with tender emotion Notes that carried ancient and hidden wisdom Precise scales of battle, practised carefully every day Whatever came to hand, often off-key but full of life
What did each musician expect as they gathered for the performance?

To perform alone without the others To lead or follow as they always had To be replaced by new players To improvise with no conductor
Who conducted the symphony, and how?

The city's mayor, holding a carefully written score No one at all; the musicians argued and then left A mysterious figure named Lila, who silently began to play Aelric the warrior, who commanded all the others firmly
How does this module describe reality in relation to archetypes?

A stage where archetypes perform for your entertainment A library where the archetypes are stored, labelled and catalogued A contest in which the strongest archetype always wins A symphony playing through you, not a stage performing for you
When do the archetypes find their harmony, according to this module?

Only when you practise each one separately Only when you stop directing them Only when you assign them fixed parts Only when one archetype dominates
What role does Lila play in the inner symphony?

The audience that sits in silence and judges the whole performance The composer who writes every note long in advance The silent conductor clearing apertures so the archetypes weave freely The loudest instrument, drowning out all of the others
What does the module name as 'the catch' in aligning with inner archetypes?

You can align only one archetype each year You must give up the trickster before anything else can happen You can't will the alignment; you can only clear apertures You must first find a teacher to align them
What blocks the flow among the archetypes within?

Too much play, laughter and lightness Resistance, ego or fixed narratives Honouring the trickster Listening to music
How does this module define Lila?

Reality's spontaneous, self-organising intelligence, where structure and chaos dance The discipline needed over many years to master an instrument A fixed law of harmony that governs all music and every performance of it, everywhere The silence that falls between one performance and the next
According to this module, what is every archetype you have encountered a reflection of?

What already exists within you What your culture demands of you What others see in you What you will become someday
