These tools of transformation can be applied by anyone, at any age. The true success in life is to reach our full potential of Absolute Freedom, or Enlightenment, which is available to anyone who sincerely seeks it. Conventional measurements of success or intelligence are meaningless in the quest. Absolute Freedom means to be free from any wanting or worry or cares in the world, so that only Joy, Lightness, Fulfillment, Love and Peace remain. The highest state also includes the full development of the spirit as Ecstatic Love. Every human being secretly longs for this state beyond worry and wanting, yet most will come nowhere close to achieving it in this lifetime. This is not because it is in itself so unattainable, but because of our conditioning, which compels us to search for happiness and freedom in places where they can never be found. While we believe that our lives are determined 'out there', there will be no available time or energy for 'in here'.
The one thing we have control over is the use of the will. Do we choose to grow and learn the lessons life is bringing to us, or do we ignore the opportunities for inner growth? Do we assume responsibility for our own growth and happiness? Or do we let circumstances and other people dictate how we feel? When we change our programming, the external circumstances and limitations associated with a particular belief system fall away. The Truth of this can be verified by anyone, by testing it out on yourself. You become the laboratory. This is the true science, the science of transformation, and anyone is free to prove it to themselves. If it is so simple, why do so few find this Path, and become Free in this way? Because the mind's conditioning is very strong. We may even find the whole subject interesting, intriguing. We may even agree with it all philosophically, but we go back to what we know. We never bother to apply it. We think this is all in the category of extra-curricular learning, like taking a fine art course, or a weekly yoga class. We do not suspect for a moment that these teachings are the very tools for mastering life itself, that even our most pressing and practical concerns can be quickly resolved simply by releasing the stuck energy within us. Even the most 'intractable' illness can be healed when you go to its source.
Most come to this Path by either desperation or inspiration. Either one has reached the point where the need for answers to life's challenges becomes urgent, or else we have evolved to the point where we become curious about how to reach our full potential of happiness and freedom in this lifetime. Something has to light the fire within us, at least to become curious. The moment we truly explore it, the transformation begins. When you clear your mind's conditioning, you are bound by nothing. Your relationship with all of life comes into perfect balance, all your needs are met with no effort, all fear dissolves, and all your energy becomes available for joy and love, and for the upliftment of your fellow beings.
