        Pause, breathe, and reflect - what are you aware of now? Have you ever seen a quiz like this? Do you think typical schools are teaching kids the answers? Are you motivated to follow the links and learn about these items? "No" or "not now" may indicate you're unaware of being controlled by a false self.

        How do you think each adult in your family would do on this quiz? How about each adult in the gen-eral population? Ignorance of the answers here promotes personal and social frustration, conflict, illness, and stress. Self-study Lesson 1 here gives perspective on why the answers here are valuable, and how to use them to improve your and your family's lives. The alternative is living in ignorance and unintentionally promoting the effects of lethal [wounds + unawareness] cycle.

        Option - read about a real couple who couldn't "pass" this quiz.

+ + +

        Recall - why did you read this quiz? Did you get what you needed? If not - what do you need? Who's answering these questions - your wise true Self or someone else?
