•  How questions (Ethics, right action)

•  And because sometimes we are in great pain…

Are you fully aware of your inner nature? Your dual self? Are you aware of your viewpoint? Do you sense when Ego is in charge? Can you hear the voice of Higher Self? Do you have a clear inner intention? A clear personal mission and values?

How broad is your perspective? Can you see other people’s viewpoint? Other cultures? How long a time line can you imagine? How big a Universe? How interconnected is reality?

What percentage of the time is Higher Self in charge? Do you know how to shift Ego out of the “driver’s seat”? Do you live your values and your Mission? Can you stay centered and peaceful even during difficult times?

Are you a calming presence for others? Can you keep your heart open? Are you able to act from Compassion? Are you able to act from Wisdom? Are you a powerful leader by virtue of your inner strength and humility?
