University Text

The ritual of Astrological Alignment has been known for as long as anyone can remember. As the ritual is completed, the two participants will immediately sense a special bond, or lack thereof.

The Test of Astrological Alignment is to find a group of 5 people, each aligned with every other. Details of the ritual may be studied here.

Overview

In this Worship test, the goal is to be part of a group of five people, all of whom are "astrologically aligned" with one another. All five people then pass the test simultaneously. Each member of the group must have passed the Initiation into Worship, and must not have already passed the Test of Astrological Alignment with anyone in the current group before.

Alignment

"Alignment" is a quality shared (or not shared) between two people.

There is roughly a 1/3 chance that any given two people are aligned with each other.

Alignment (or lack thereof) is a separate quality for every pair: if Person A is aligned with Person B, and Person B is aligned with Person C, it is not necessarily true that Person A is aligned with Person C.

Testing Alignment

Alignment between two people can be determined by a simple ritual performed at a Common Altar:

• First person places a Candle on the left pillar.
• First person places a candle on the left focus.
• Second person places a candle on the right focus.
• Second person places a candle on the right pillar.
• First person lights the candle on the left pillar.
• First person lights the candle on the left focus.
• Second person lights the candle on the right focus.
• Second person lights the candle on the right pillar.

After the ritual, each participant will receive a message. If they "have a feeling of emptiness", they are not aligned; if they "feel a connection", they are.

A person need not have passed the Initiation into Worship to check for alignment.

Record who you are aligned with in the Astrological Alignment Chart.

Passing the Test

Once a group of five coaligned people has assembled (i.e. each person in the group is aligned with the other four), they must visit a University of Worship, each carrying one Medium Quartz. One person must pay a medium quartz to start the group check for astrological alignment, the other four then verify alignment as a part of that group within a few minutes (also paying a medium quartz each). If the group is indeed coaligned, all five will then pass the test. The zaps will be in order of who verified in the university, with about 5-10 seconds between each zap.
