Score

0-5 points:   You are hopelessly attached to the wheel of life and
              death. Try again next incarnation!

6-10 points   You are largely unconscious and stuck in worldly pleasures

10-15 points  You are so-so on the enlightment scale. Keep reading the
              New Sun.

15-20 points  You are a very conscious being; with a little good karma
              you could go a long way.

20-25 points  You are very close to God-realization--early November at
              the latest.
