Is This Awakening?

This tool evaluates how well your description holds up to specific, concrete detail — not your spiritual status, and not whether anything metaphysical is true. It does not diagnose awakening or enlightenment. It is not therapy and not crisis support — if you need help right now, contact an appropriate service, not this form.

A human curator reads the material only when it strongly matches the criteria. Submissions are stored for 30 days and then automatically deleted; you can also delete your submission earlier from the result page.

Before you start, you can read the full method: How this assessment works.

During the period you are describing, did any of the following occur: several days of sleeplessness, strong physical symptoms that called for medical attention, or disruption of everyday functioning (work, hygiene, safety)? If yes, describe when this happened and whether it was assessed medically.

Optional field. A yes answer does not block or lower the analysis; it is recorded in the result before any interpretation.

Describe the experience or moment of recognition *

The more bodily, "here and now" detail you include (what happened in the body, what thoughts, in what order), the more accurate the assessment. Minimum 300 characters.

0 / 300 characters (minimum)

One concrete difficult situation from the last few weeks — how you reacted before, how you reacted after *

Without this field the analysis stays uncertain — it is the strongest indicator of whether a change has actually held. Minimum 100 characters.

0 / 100 characters (minimum)

A hard ethical decision or boundary you have held since

Optional field.

What concerns you about this experience — anything difficult that came with it

Optional field.

After the moment you describe, was there any period of doubt, fear, return of old patterns, disappointment, or difficulty integrating the moment you described? If none of these occurred — how long has this difficulty-free period lasted?

Optional field.

No difficulties of any kind

Length of the period without difficulty

Which of these best describes how the recognition/shift you described earlier has continued since then

Optional field.

(a) it happened once and has not returned in that form (b) it returns in brief glimpses (c) it is continuously present, regardless of circumstances

If (b) or (c) — for how long has this been the case, and how often do difficult situations (conflict, loss, pain) arise that test whether it still holds?

Optional field.

Practice history and how long since it happened

What practice, for how long, and how much time has passed since the event.

Psychoactive substances and insight

This section is about one thing only: whether an insight arrived shortly after taking a psychoactive substance (psychedelics, cannabis, MDMA and similar), or independently of it. Substance use neither rules out a genuine change nor turns it into a drug effect — what matters for the assessment is the time distance, in the order of hours or days. We do not ask about psychiatric medication, doses or tapering schedules: that level of detail cannot be reconstructed reliably from memory, and unverifiable detail damages the assessment more than the missing data would.

Time distance between substance use and the insight

No psychoactive substances during this period The insight came within 24–72 hours of taking a substance The insight came more than 72 hours after taking a substance I cannot place it in time

Which substances, and what happened afterwards

Optional. What you took and roughly when, and whether there was a period of working the experience through before you drew conclusions from it. No doses needed.

Guides and carriers

A person, a text, a practice or a tool (including AI) that took part in your process is a neutral structural fact — it neither proves the change was genuine nor proves you bypassed anything. What matters is whether the same carrier had the same function throughout, or different functions in different periods.

List the people, texts, practices or tools (including AI) that played a role in your process. For each one give: the period when it was active; whether at the time you experienced it as help or as something that kept you stuck; and whether today, looking back, you assess it differently than you did then.

Optional field.

Anything you publish, sell, or teach connected to this experience — course, book, Patreon, retreat

Optional field.

I understand that the content of this form will be analyzed automatically, and that a person acting as curator will also read it if it strongly matches the criteria. The submission will be stored for 30 days and I can delete it earlier from the result page. This is not a contact form or a booking for a consultation.
