Age is not a barrier for realisation.
There is no saying that older people are wiser than younger people.
There are many young people who are open minded and willing to take action in life.
Some “old” people are still “immature” so we cannot conclude that age is an accurate measurement for a person’s wisdom.
Do not let age limit you from doing anything.
Don’t even let the belief of “age barrier” limit you.
Life is in the now. So live the life you really desire.
Make the now the best moment in your life.
How long is life?
How old is a person?
Is a 17 year old boy who is going to die in one week time old (as he has lived more than 98% of his life span) ?
Time is just a perception.
Some people experience their reality very fast, as if time is very “short”.
Some people experience “long” time, as if a month is like a year time.
Comparing a 45 year old man who lives in “short” time and a 27 year old man who lives in “long” time, who is older?
*shrug*
There is no point in debating about illusions of life.
Realise that life is ageless
and you are living in the now.
The moment of power is of course in the present.
As far as you are concerned the present is your point of action, focus and power, and from that point of volition you form both your future and past. Realizing this, you will understand that you are not at the mercy of a past over which you have no control.
You form your reality and by knowing yourself more intimately than you did before, you are better equipped to handle your personal reality now
Do not fear and believe that old age is a time of spiritual/or physical deterioration or the beginning of an era in which all the hard worn attributes of maturity vanish and the reasoning faculties vanish.
Old age must be viewed as a highly creative part of living with much wisdom. The mind actually becomes more itself, freer to use more of its abilities, allowed to stray from restricted areas, to assimilate, acknowledge and create.
The chemical and hormonal changes that occur are conducive to spiritual and psychic growth
In many cultures, an individual is not considered in terms of his age at all and the numbering of age is regarded as insignificant. It would do us all good – young, middle age and old alike – to forget the number of your years because so many of the beliefs are limiting in those ways. Youth is denied its wisdom and old age denied its joy.
Actually the point of reality and power is, once more, in our current experience. The old lady at her age is drawing upon qualities and knowledge that “existed” in her past or “will exist” in her future by acting as if the ages are probable (simultaneous).
Our own conclusions and beliefs about age become fact in our experience. If you could convince yourself that you were ten years younger, or ten years older, then it would be faithfully reflected in the environment.
The same pattern can be seen in the elderly and ideas of retirement. For hidden within them is the belief that at one time or another, at a specific age, your powers will begin to fail. These ideas are usually accepted by the young and old alike. In believing them, the young automatically begin the gradual conditioning of their own bodies and minds and the results will be reaped. So to stay young, discard all the core beliefs about old age.
We must accept the physical system is an illusion, and from our viewpoint try to understand the realities that exist beyond it.
We cannot objectify the inner portions of our own identity, and therefore we do not perceive them. So much of our energy is used in the physical productions that we cannot afford to perceive any reality but our own.

Good questioning skill you show me.
So much more impressive then useless streams of assertions “it is like that and it is like this” coming from some other blogs.
