So, for fun, I took some online tests. These are some results:
Mystics love experiencing first-hand the blissful Union of Divinity. As you resonate the most with the Mystic archetype, you will be drawn towards transcending the ego and melting the boundaries between “you” and Infinite Consciousness. As a deeply sensitive, intuitive, and perceptive person, you have always sensed that there is something “beyond” the ordinary. Therefore, the pursuit of earthly pleasures such as fame, status, and riches has never appealed to you to the same extent as it does to others.
As a Mystic, you yearn for wisdom, love, and the ultimate freedom that comes from merging with your True Nature. You are devoted to exploring the Mystery that is life and inviting the presence of the Divine into your everyday life. To you, the ultimate achievement in life is the unio mystica, the spiritual marriage between the self and the Soul.
Shadow Side:
The dark side of the Mystic temperament can manifest as a selfish hoarding of hidden truths, egocentrism – especially if mystical experiences are used to inflate the ego and make it more “special,” and intellectual dryness – particularly if the search for truth doesn’t include cultivating a Heart connection. When not grounded in the necessary function of logic, Mystics can become impulsive, fickle, and flaky. Also, when not properly grounded, the Mystic temperament can also lose touch with reality.
Strengths:
These strengths are developed when you’re open, aware, and internally balanced.
Sensitive
Perceptive
Intuitive
Wise
Receptive
Open-minded
Loving
Weaknesses:
These weaknesses arise when you become unmindful, imbalanced, and spiritually stagnant.
Egotistical
Ungrounded
Dry
Impulsive
Airy-fairy
Spiritual Purpose: Transcending the ego and uniting with the Divine.
Existential Fear: Being completely isolated from the Divine in the mundaneness and emptiness of daily life.
Lesson to Learn: Spiritual experiences must be emotionally, psychologically, and physically integrated into daily life for real growth to occur. The heart and mind must be balanced. There is no true separation between “you” and God/Divine.
Mystic’s Totem: Snake; shedding skin as a constant rebirth and transformation.
Mystic’s Crystal: Labradorite; assists in moving into alternate levels of consciousness and vibration, helping one to consciously 'move between the worlds.'
Mystic’s Herb: Elderberry; elder tree has a long history connected to ancient mysticism, the spirit of this tree was known as “Elder Mother” for its powerful transformative energy.
Mystics Mantra: There is no separation, I am One with God.
Famous Mystics: Pythagoras, Helena Blavatsky, Joseph Campbell, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Eckhart Tolle, Thomas Merton, Alan Watts.
Mystics in Fiction: Eriq Ebouaney (Lumumba), The Seventh Seal, David Lee Smith (The Man from Earth), Bruno Ganz (Wings of Desire), Dôgen (Zen), G.I. Gurdjieff (Meetings with Remarkable Men).
_______________________________________________
You're a very visual person with an extremely vivid and active imagination. You find it easy to visualize things in your mind's eye, sort of like a movie, and even have meaningful or prophetic dreams. As a clairvoyant, the way that Spirit speaks to you is by sending you mental pictures. You may find yourself playing out the same scenes or seeing the same symbols in your mind over and over until you understand the message or randomly see an angel in your mind's eye at times. Don't ignore your visions and instead embrace them.
Spiritual Archetype: The Visionary, Artist
