Inner Compass

A map for the moment you’re in.

This is a tool for looking at what is actually going on with you. It does not diagnose you, score you, or tell you what you are. Everything it says back is built out of your own answers.

What happens

  1. 1Nine questions, one at a time, working from your circumstances inward to what you are actually looking for.
  2. 2One of them asks you to say it in your own words. Two lines is plenty.
  3. 3You are given back what you said, arranged — including the part you did not say out loud.
  4. 4Then one practice, drawn from an old text of a hundred and twelve of them, chosen for the answers you gave.

How to use it

  • Choose the nearest answer. It does not have to be exact.
  • There are no right answers, and nothing is being scored.
  • Give it ten quiet minutes, somewhere you will not be interrupted.
  • Nothing you write leaves your device except to word your own reading.

The figure above is the Sri Yantra, read from the outside in. It is used here as a map of where a difficulty is sitting, not as a symbol to believe in.
