Do you ever feel stuck? Like you aren’t going anywhere, and don’t know how to get yourself progressing again?
I share a spiritual point of view that can get you moving again in this vlog filmed in King’s Canyon National Park, in southern California, April 2025.
Thank you, Evan!
As Science & Health says, Progress is a law of God.
Love this! Thank you. ❣️
Stuck is a narrow, constricted, false and discouraging mortal mind concept; mortal mind cannot recognize our infinite nature as God’s dear child. Unlimited, unhindered, free, boundless, made fresh and new every moment — this describes all of us as His reflection, thank you Evan.
To be honest I do not feel this inherent freedom right now, actually a strong temptation to be overwhelmed by very old emotions from childhood that seem to have been triggered by recent encounters with family and old friends — but I KNOW that this freedom is Truth, it’s the law of God, true for me and everyone at every moment. I don’t have to dig my way out of a pit by applying spiritual truth, just recognize that I cannot ever be in a pit, because God never put me there. These “old emotions” are old false beliefs that say I am unsafe. I am not stuck in the past, I am free and safe in God.
Dear Rose, I send a hug across the miles, from God, through me 🙂
God has got this, so let Him.
Dear Rose……you are living in the consciousness of God…right now. Nothing can break the hold of the everlasting arms of divine Love which uphold you.Bx
Dear Rose, thank you for honestly sharing your feelings, as I think many of us can relate. And appreciate the spiritual truths you are using and applying to not feeling stuck, which are very helpful. xo
Dear Rose,
The other day a wonderful angel message came to thought:
“You cannot be conscious of nothingness.” None of us can, including you!
Very true. Thank you Laurie, I appreciate your sharing that thought.
Thank you Rose, for describing “freedom is Truth”, it’s the law of God…All are free to KNOW the TRUTH as the TRUTH comes direct from GOD. Bye bye old emotions, false beliefs but BE free, safe in GOD.
Beautiful uplift for starting the day.
Thank you so much chilesands, John B, J and BarbaraUK. Your warmth and caring are felt on this end. And love to all that are here. I began to feel some lifting of the lies as soon as I shared about the error and the truths that counteract the error. The balance scale is tipping on the side of truth. You are all a blessing.
This again, is such a Beautiful location and message in this lovely vlog. Thankyou!
I am reminded of the old saying, “The best way to get yourself out of a hole is to
stop digging”. The more we dig in to matter, the deeper we seem to get. In order
to lift ourselves out of matter, we need to stop believing in it. We are not stuck
in this mortal sense of things, but are really in the ever presence of the One Mind,
where we are spiritual and perfect in God’s likeness.
Love these thoughts Angel.
Thank you, J . It is like the farmer whose donkey had gotten
stuck in a hole. The farmer was shoveling dirt into the hole
and visitors were thinking he was burying the donkey. He
said, no , that he was carefully putting dirt in the hole so the
donkey could climb out. Like pouring in “floodgates of Love”,
as Mrs. Eddy writes in Prose Works, ’01 32- 29, where “Love
was [is] the governing impulse of every action”. We help each
other in the same way, with comforting Love that is ever-present.
I find this Love expressed so wonderfully here. : ) Thank you All.
Thank you Angel
Thank yu. Evan
Stuck is a mirage in our thought , but
We can be back in the king dom right away if we trust
The Spiritual Reality.
Thank you SV
Just lovely Evan. Thank you for sharing the beautiful physical view and the oh so insightful spiritual view❣️
So glad for this spiritual idea and the image of soaring mountains! In reading Angel’s comment on digging, I realized I am “stuck” on a metaphor of having to dig to get spiritual insight. I hear it from many sources, “dig deeper”. And in CS “dig into the books”. I know it means to seek a more spiritual view, but it always makes me feel heavy. I have an image of people digging up a yard trying to find a hidden treasure. Like Angel said, digging seems to indicate digging into matter. The Bible always says to “go up to the mountain”. One practitioner said it’s like holding the tent flap open. I liked that. Waking up in a soggy cold tent and feeling you don’t want to get up. But then the tent flap opens and there, just out of the woods on a sunny beach, is a beautiful day with people cooking breakfast on a fire and boating and swimming. We can get unstuck from the sleeping bag and go forward through the tent flap into our God-given day free of heaviness.
I am glad my comment was helpful to you, Kay. Your elaboration of it is helpful,
as well. Thank you. Your tent mention reminds me of the expression of not to
let the camel creep into the tent. It is like erroneous/mortal thinking, isn’t it ….
where if we let just a little bit (the camel’s nose) into the tent, before you know it
it pushes it’s whole way into the tent and tries to take over. But I like your interpretation
of opening the tent to a day that is sunny and bright … a God-given day, instead of
feeling soggy and cold with the down pull of material thinking.

Thank you, Evan. And thank you, J. Excellent article. Definitely a keeper. ♥️
Thank you J , I love and read all the so helpful articles, of which you give us the link. They are so inspiring!♡
Oh, and I thank you all for your so loving comments.
Thank you, Evan for your today’s blessing and healing Vlog. Listening to you explaining us so joyfully the divine truth, that we never get stuck in error as God’s beloved and cared for child, is so refreshing. Error is not true and God is the infinite, everpresent Goodness expressing him in his perfect creation!! Am very glad and grateful for your Vlog and for Christian Science!! Lots of Love!!♡
Amazing how Mind, divine Mind, God–always knows and sends me (us!) ideas,
angel messages to exactly meet my (our!)need of the moment!
Wow, God. Thank You!!
Like the truck in Evan’s vlog, if there’s no matter, we can’t be stuck as ideas in infinite Mind. Seeking a spiritual solution? Need a God-centered perspective one article suggested. I’ve been studying omni-action this week. That has provided new insights. Omni-action is an antidote to material inaction. Some ideas found: Immortal Mind must be acknowledged as supreme. Man is perpetually animated by our source, Mind. Inertia is an impossibility in Mind. Reflection = continuous action. Man obedient to Mind is omni-action. Opportunities to experience Love’s power are unbounded. Keep in mind only divine Love is present. There’s always another truth to know. These were some concepts which stood out.
A practitioner once said that the only difference between a rut and the grave are the dimensions. There’s a book titled DO ONE THING DIFFERENT – the idea of the book is keep fresh. Visit a different park, take an online class, drive a different way home, eat cake in the bathtub. Maybe not the last one.
I was feeling stuck this week and saw our library had a free French conversation class this morning on Zoom so registered. It was delightful. There’s another one in 2 weeks.
Thanks for the insights in this vlog on this important topic.
I have had occasion to use the quote from Science and Health that Evan shows at the end of the Vlog. I found the following descriptions of inertia useful: idleness, want of activity, and active resistance to movement. All claims of animal magnetism that claims it can control or limit Mind’s movement and action.
Thank you very much, Sally! That leads me joyfully to the truth that naturally animal magnetizm cannot at all claim anything, against our omnipotent and omni-acting divine Mind, the All in All! Wow that is so helpful what you comment, dear Sally!♡
Thank you, Evan, for another instructive vlog. Living on a farm, I understand the concept of getting stuck in the sand. There is always a way out.
Thank you all for your imaginative ways of thinking how we can avoid being stuck.
Rose, your situation is one make of us have encountered, I love your statement that “I can’t be in a pit, because God never put me there.” How true!!!
I enjoyed thinking about Angel’s advice to “stop digging” although unless that will get the donkey out of the hole by filling the hole up with the true substance. Also to picture the camel in the tent. Wow. I need to stop that from happening.
Kay, it is helpful to stop when the” treasure” we are after is mortal and valueless. Opening the tent flap allows a clearer view to what is really there.
All other comments, articles, and viewpoints are valuable as well. Thank you all.
