The Core Competencies of Divine Facilitation — The Pedagogy of Miracles examination

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

In the accountability partnerships, what are partners asked to state explicitly?

The penalties that will apply if the experiments are not completed The kind of support that would actually help them follow through The grades they each expect to earn for the work they have designed The mistakes they made when first designing their experiments
What distinguishes accountability in this pedagogy from compliance?

Having someone who will make you do exactly what you said you would Being witnessed with care, rather than being policed Reporting your progress to the facilitator every single week Accepting clear consequences whenever an experiment fails
Why are participants asked to implement one experiment during the retreat itself?

To prove to the facilitator that the experiment will definitely work To try it where it is safe to fail, before daily life's resistance sets in To finish the experiment completely before returning home To compare results directly with other participants' experiments
A participant finds that drawing diagrams during a talk distracts her. How does the module treat this result?

As a failed experiment that she should abandon completely As a clear sign that visual learning is simply not for her As useful data; she might draw after the talk instead As proof that she carried out the experiment incorrectly
What does the Lighting Our Lights ritual teach about recognition?

It creates new light where there was only darkness before It does not create light; it reveals light that was always there It passes light from the facilitator on to each participant It shows which participants have grown the most over the day
In the Mining for Gold session, which distinction does the module draw?

Between "it happened for a reason" and "it built capacity" Between good experiences and bad experiences in a person's life Between the facilitator's own pain and the participants' pain Between forgiving other people and learning to forgive oneself
According to the module, why must facilitators do their own recognition work first?

Your own recognition sets the depth you can hold for others Facilitators must be fully enlightened before they are able to serve Participants will test whether the facilitator is properly qualified Personal work replaces any need to learn facilitation skills
What does the module say happens when a facilitator has unresolved shame about their own "wasted time"?

They will be especially skilled at helping others with that theme They may talk participants out of those same feelings They will be unaffected, since facilitation is separate from personal life They should stop facilitating altogether until the shame has gone
What is the primary offering of a facilitator in Competency 1, Presence Over Performance?

What you do: the clever questions and inspiring stories you bring How well and how punctually you execute the planned agenda How much relevant expertise you are able to demonstrate Who you are in the space: a grounded, open, non-anxious presence
What is the practice for working with your own activation during facilitation?

Notice, name, and then choose your response Suppress, ignore, and continue with the plan Explain, defend, and restore your authority Pause, leave the room, and return later
Which question best fits the module's description of an opening question?

"Do you see how your defensive reaction sabotaged the relationship?" "What do you notice about how you responded then?" "Is this about fear or about control?" "Why do you keep making the same mistake?"
