The idea of "working internally" is not a new one. In different forms and in different times it's been somehow constantly present in our world.

The starting point is to work with what we have and this is probably a new proposal. It is commonly accepted in societies that we work trying to "obtain" something within ourselves. We want to "become" someone better or smarter or more spiritual, etc.

The simple idea of "obtaining" goes contrary to this process. 

We can at best transform what we already have. 

To work to "become" is a waste of energy. 

To "liberate" ourselves is a lot more interesting.

To liberate ourselves from fears

To liberate ourselves from prejudices

To liberate ourselves from internal violence and judgements

To liberate ourselves from ignorance and internal suffering

From that perspective, to let go is a good approach to start this internal work.

Learning to let go is the first step of many more to follow.
