8 Powerful Questions to Ask Yourself to Get Unstuck
Written by Maria Erving
First of all, put yourself in a meditative state of mind. Meditation is, like Michael Beckwith puts it so wonderfully; "to pay undistractable attention to Reality"
It's so true; and so we begin with that.
Close your eyes. Get yourself into a vibration of unconditional love, get still, with the intention to listen deeply to whatever comes when asking the following questions.
Put yourself in a relaxed state of mind; an attentive stillness.
Pay attention to your breathing, and when (slowly) ask yourself these questions and listen deeply.
* What is God's idea of itself as my life?
* What is seeking to emerge as the highest possibility in, and as, my _____________ (business, relationships, health etc)
* What must I become in order to manifest my vision? (God can only do for us what God can do through us and as us)
* Where must I grow in order to manifest the visio
I have?
* How must I change? (change comes with change of consciousness)
* What gifts/qualities/skills do I need to hone?
* What do I need to let go of?
* What talents/capacities do I already have that can serve my vision?
There's three aspects to meditation that I would like to add to this topic. To be able to get un-stuck I strongly suggest you put meditation on your daily agenda, and we don't have to sit in Lotus position or anything.
Contemplative meditation like reading inspirational texts, poems and so on; quotes etc, is also meditation.
Existential meditation is another; when we ask about life and who we are; "Who am I, why I am here?" can also help us get un-stuck.
A third aspect to meditation is to have or experience a spiritual realization of being One with God and therefor meditate with the intention of waking up to that inner knowing in waking life.
All these intentions will help set yourself free. It's when we come into stillness and meditation with an earnest and sincere desire to know our Oneness for real (by living it), and not only conceptually, that open us up to higher realms of being-ness, and we are setting ourselves free.

How common is self-love, what happens without it, and how does it relate to self-esteem?
Self-love is very essential in boosting our self-esteem. A person having self-love is contented with his own presence, whereas a person who does not have self-love always wanders to get love from other people or things. He is always restless. He never feels satisfied even after receiving love from people. His hunger for love never ceases, and hence he demands more and more attention from others. As a result, his relationships are ruined and he always lives in misery.rn rnSo,

Who is a True Guru? How to choose a Spiritual Guru?
Grave danger in uprooting a Guru Do not accept a known guru as guru, and if you do, then do not turn your back on him. Use a pot if you do not like him. The pot will not have any problems. Worship it because your buddhi (intellect) will not be active there and your work will get done. Now who would be so careful that he would not allow his intellect to interfere? How can one understand all this? Questioner: At the time we make someone our guru, he appears to be very good, he

What is the importance of Living Guru?
Questioner: If we surrender to the great souls that lived thousands of years ago, can that be considered surrender? Can we make any progress through such surrender or do we need to surrender to a living great man? Dadashri: You can progress even through Paroksha (indirectly- one not currently living). However if you find such a living (Pratyaksh) person, then your liberation will be instant. The indirect approach will give you the benefit of progress but there is no liberatio
