Brief Questionnaire to Assess Compatibility
With Worldview Themes #7A & 7B

Respond to each of the following below on a 1 to 5 scale, where
     1= strongly disagree      2 = disagree      3 = neutral      4 = agree      5 = strongly agree
If you don’t have understand, or are confused by a particular question, select 3= neutral.

Note: An * in front of the question indicates that this has been used in national public opinion surveys. 

1. In the most fundamental sense, one is all, and all is one. Although things and events appear to be separate and discrete in space and time, in fact they are all interconnected. Time is an illusion. 

2. Metaphorically speaking, if one is spiritually ready, finding God / Goddess can be done by looking within oneself. Accordingly, heaven and hell are there also.

*3. Never in my life have I felt very close to a powerful spiritual force that seemed to lift me out of myself.

*4. Never in my life have I had a “remote viewing” experience, that is seen events that actually happened a tremendous distance away from me as they were happening before me.

*5. I think a great deal about how my life is part of a larger spiritual force.

*6. Daily spiritual experiences I have help me feel a deep inner peace or harmony.

*7. My conception of God is of a personal God who watches over me, rather than of a God connected with some sort of spirit or life force.

*8. Of the following reasons why people might be involved in religious or spiritual pursuits, “to forge a personal relationship with God”, “to be a better person and live a moral life”, “to find peace and happiness”, “to connect with something larger than myself”, “to give my life meaning and structure”, or “to be part of a community”, the one that I prefer more than all others is “to connect with something larger than myself”.

*9. I believe in miracles.

10. If a magician, shaman, or faith healer seems to accomplish something that looks like magic, in actuality they have merely craftily deceived someone. They don’t really possess any magical powers.

11. Certain people -- known as dowsers -- are gifted with the ability to pinpoint where water exists underground, based on when a forked wooden stick they are holding in their hands seems to turn downward.

12. I believe that, since ancient times, certain gifted people have been able to use crystals to have knowledge that otherwise would have been inaccessible to them.

*13. Astrologers, palm readers, tarot card readers, fortune tellers and psychics can foresee the future.

*14. I believe that the story of Christmas -- that is, the Virgin Birth, the angelic proclamation to the shepherds, the Star of Bethlehem, and the Wise Men from the East -- is historically accurate, not just a theological story written to affirm faith in Jesus Christ.

*15. I believe that it is possible to influence the world through the mind alone.

*16. I believe that dreams can sometime foretell the future or reveal hidden truths.
