It means that you have learned what the test was about.
All of you have passed tests.
Everyday a new test.

Not sure what that learning might be.
Are there so many tests?

Everyday.

You passed the test!

Have you ever "heard" this phrase, during meditation, dreaming, OOBE, or other experience?

I have during a dream/possible astral experience.

I had passed the "test".

It seemed to be an inspection by some sort of strange astral dragons that lived on an asteroid somewhere.
But that is what I had heard "You have passed the test"

*shrug*

Thanks for sharing.
Did you feel any kind of change afterwards?
In general perception?

Not to my memory, but I gotta ask:

So what happens to those of us not passing? I fear I've been held back as much as permitted.

This universe is a cold, dark place full of murder, to paraphrase Herzog... I want my GED!

Some say you learn more with failures than with successes.

To quantify ... "The wise learn from their mistakes."

The tards just keep us bemused ...😎

The wise and tards both learn from mistakes.

a reply to: c2oden

Not so much the tards ... we have all seen a tard (maybe even a friend )

Try to push that square peg into a round hole.

Yeah? I had a mate that would MAKE IT FIT !

It often took hours and copious amounts of distillery profits.

Yeah: What is the difference between passing, and not passing?
This crazy place?

Does this phrase have any deep meaning for you? Have you ever "heard" this phrase, during meditation, dreaming, OOBE, or other experience?

Yes. All the time, or at least every time I open a pickle jar, I get this sudden elation, and I think to myself. "Yes! I totally did it, I'm the best" Though some of those dam jars are locked to dam tight, I just use a knife then.

Yeah: there is that amazement when we build/create something with our hands.
Anything on a deeper level?

Hey ancient Chinese proverb. Wana know the difference between a master and beginner? The difference is that the master has failed more times then the beginner have even tried.

Or it might not be a Chinese proverb, could be that it was made up oh some few years ago, and by some dude in his basement. But hey, sure sounds wise and stuff. I read that in a fortune cookie once, or maybe it was on a billboard, or online somewhere.

But anyways moral of the story is? Not sure there is a moral or any sort of experience points gained, but sure sounds like a cool story...Bro.

Oh ya, all the time. In fact I had a epiphany of such magnanimous proportions hat it left me stunted in its awesome awesomeness, and it all happened some few minutes ago.

I suppose I can tell you about it, but you need to be at least a level 99 wizard and a level 50 chocobo tamer to even understand and be able to grasp such arcane knowledge bordering on whimsical wisdom. And seeing as your none of those. Well it would be pointless now would it not, to try to explain things to the unmitigated.

Old chinese proverb ...

Watch for the follow through whilst some speak anal puckerage.

a reply to: Nothin

Yeah.

There was a huge change in my own spiritual growth.

I understood a few things much better.

I have often found myself failing these tests. I chose dark over light.
I always woke up perplexed over it because consciously I would never chose the way I have during these so called tests.

it seems you get several over a lifetime, or at least I have.
Or maybe they are just dreams...

I've had some strange experiences with lucid dreams, OoBEs, astral projection, and sleep paralysis. I've never heard the words, "You passed the test" during those experiences, but if I did, I would probably be distrustful. I don't like being tested, judged, or evaluate. It makes me feel like I'm being manipulated into meeting the expectations of another. That usually stirs a sense of resentment and spite with me, towards the one testing me. The only judgement I acknowledge is that of my God.

Thanks BP.
What if you don't know if there was a test, or tester?
Perhaps it wasn't really from any kind of outside source, but some kind of reflection from within?
