All can become a "Master"," Enlightened One" or "Awakened One" ...Now, in this Life
First you must have the desire to accomplish this.
Start from where ever you are at in life, regardless of your situation or age.
Study, read, watch and listen to things that inspire you until such time that you feel the need to search inside yourself.
When you start to see that it is your own thoughts that are creating what appears to be your outer world, you are making wonderful headway.
When you get frustrated with the whole idea, you are making wonderful headway.
Find that quiet spot inside you and spend as much time there as you can.
When you seem to loose interest in things, you are making wonderful headway.
Teach what you have discovered, talk about what you discovered. In this way you will be making wonderful headway.
When you no longer blame anyone for anything and can take full responsibility, regardless of what happens in your life, you are making wonderful headway.
When you notice things that seem to come about rather easily, you are making wonderful headway.
When you do not seem to worry so much, you are making wonderful headway.
When you again get frustrated, ready to give up on the whole idea as useless, you will be experiencing the same feelings as every Master, Enlightened or Awakened one before you.
Continue on. These Masters, Enlightened and Awakened Ones know what you are experiencing. You are almost at a level of consciousness where they are able to help you surmount the last hurdles.
What you are doing through all this inner work is raising your consciousness a little higher while simultaneously the Masters’ are lowering their consciousness allowing you both to meet on common ground. From there, they will help you the rest of the way.
