Who will teach you freedom?

To achieve financial independence requires a powerful teacher, someone who will teach you the Art of Freedom.

Freedom in the sense of Morpheus telling Neo: "Free your mind."

Freedom in the sense of awakening your eternal soul and unleashing its invincible powers upon every single moment in time and space.

So how do you find such a teacher?

He/she has to fulfill three conditions: Position, Priority and Power.

1. He/she (I'll use the masculine form from now on to lighten the text) is highly favorable to your achieving freedom. A parent, for example, is highly favorable to his children achieving freedom. This is called his Position.
2. He puts you at the top of his list of priorities.
3. He has the power to help you, and has access to resources, connections, knowledge, etc. that you need.

It is difficult to find a teacher with all three qualities, but at the same time, when you are ready to become a disciple, the teacher will appear. The more pain and hardship you are OBVIOUSLY willing to endure, the more willing a masterful teacher will be in transferring to you his secret knowledge. No master would share his secrets with the unworthy.

Life has a mysterious way of sending powerful teachers to us when we need them most. The only bottleneck is our readiness to learn and totally submit to the teaching.
