IN MY RELIGION:

1. Is the relationship among beliefs, feelings and actions a dynamic one? Or do I tend to departmentalize these factors into watertight and static compartments?
2. Do I fully appreciate the depth and height of my religion? Or are my beliefs shallow superficial, and one-dimensional?
3. Is there a high degree of awareness of religious factors, including those which may rest on a level far below ordinary consciousness? Or am I content to “let well enough alone” and not dig toward greater awareness?
4. Am I able to tell others about my religious beliefs in terms which are clear enough to allow for effective communication? Or are my religious beliefs ambiguous and confused, making communication impossible?
5. Have I examined, and am I eager to examine, my religious beliefs with the best critical processes of which I am capable? Or do I prefer to keep critical thought away from my most cherished beliefs?
6. Are my religious beliefs comprehensive enough to embrace and find meaning in all of life’s sufferings as well as its joys? Or are my religious beliefs geared to finding meaning in only a narrow and constricted area of life?
7. Do I hold my religious beliefs with a spirit of tentativeness, knowing that doubt is always possible? Or do I tend to an “all or nothing at all” or “my religion right or wrong” stance?
8. Am I convinced that there is an ideal power greater than myself? Or do I believe that I am the only and ultimate power to be reckoned with?
9. Are there times when I can sense that I have a friendly continuity with this ideal power? Or do I tend to feel completely isolated?
10. Have I had, or am I in the process of having, peak experiences which are difficult to explain fully, but which seem to be exceedingly real to me? Or is my religion devoid of deep experiences, existing completely in the area of the intellectual?
11. Am I genuinely impressed and at times even awe-struck by life? Or am I cynically geared to life in a matter-of-fact way?
12. Do I sense that I am part of a larger world of relationship? Or am I content to exist in a day-to-day, narrow sort of provincialism?
13. Do I sense my personal condition in this world as a finite one? Or do I act as if I am fully capable of controlling all that life throws at me?
14. Do I feel a semblance of freedom and joy about myself and my condition in life? Or do I believe and act as if external forces in society control me and toss me about ruthlessly?
15. Are all of my activities, including moral acts, work, interpersonal relationships, including love relationships, consistent with my religion? Or is there a great gap between my religion and my actions in life as a whole?
