1. Question on Life

I still haven't so much results with love, if any... I want to have more motivation to do it, but don't know how. I don't like my job and because of it, is very hard to feel gratitude all the time. And the worst is that I don't know what kind of job I like! I'm interested in do something like playing the lottery, but maybe isn't it because I can't concentrate enough on it. (Roman from Brazil)

Answer: Seek a living Teacher!

Kostya, May 12, 2005: I was thinking on your questions and remembered that Osho Rajneesh was always saying to his students: "Seek a living Teacher!" (Seek a Teacher that is still alive!) He was telling them to do this after his death.

Why do you need a Teacher? What kind of a Teacher do you need? You need a person more advanced spiritually than you are. A person willing to help others to advance. A person that will understand you and will show you the way to mastery.

I believe this is the best thing you can do in your situation when you have interest in developing yourself -- but have no [working for you] instruments to do so on hand. Make sure this interest stays alive -- this is very valuable thing. And focus your attention on finding a spiritual Teacher or Teachers. Look for people that inspire you, people that easily do things you want to learn. I found several Teachers in the place where I live. I learned much about myself from them -- although not as much as I should have learned. So I plan to spend more time with them.

As a Teacher I liked most Russian Sufi master Vladimir Stepanov, that lives and teaches in Holland and few times a year comes to Russia for seminars. Also I like very much Alexander Klein -- he is very inspiring person. Very Attractive is Boris Zolotov, but it seems that he is not so much into teaching.

Probably there are spiritually advanced persons in where you live too. Your best bet is to look for them and becoming their student. What do you want to learn? Probably - "to be a master of yourself". Those words were said by Gurdjieff. I placed links to some of his books and books about him on the site.

Castaneda's Don Juan is another example of a spiritual Master. Pretty extreme example. Look for a teacher that will be the best for you.

Where comes Love in all this? Love helps us to get the best in everything. I found my Teachers after I began working with Love in 1998.
