Is there such a thing as quick fixes to become Masters?

Is there such a thing as quick fixes or even special dispensations from God to magically clear the negative ego for initiates to achieve Mastery?

I question this, because the fact is "Mastery" means to be able to master one's physical body/physical desires, to master one's feelings/emotions instead of being a victim of negative feelings/emotions, to master one's mental body instead of being victimised by one's thoughts or the programming within one's subconscious mind, to master one's lower desires, to master one's bad habits and addictions, to master one's energetic system, to master one's psychic field, to master one's spiritual bodies and so on! 

So to "Master" self takes work, does it make sense for initiates to gain mastery through quick technics or be given dispensations without truly earning it? What will be the world become if the Masters of this planet are given Ascended Masters' status and yet are constantly victimised by their feelings/emotions, or have a habit of cussing, smoking or drinking, or are not able to earn a decent living or have issues with manifesting their puzzle pieces or are completely disorganized, or are criminals! If Masters operate like this, what can we say about the rest of humanity?

There have been arguments amongst spiritual practitioners that there are new dispensations given to humanity to clear the negative ego much faster than the tried and tested methods of the Ascended Masters who have walked the path. From what I know, those who proclaim this, do not have a clue how the negative ego operates, let alone master it. However those who are working on developing their consciousness through sheer determination, courage, and self honesty know how tricky the negative ego is. And many on this path, have already tried the so called quick fixes and 'special dispensations' and know for a fact that they are all based on illusions!

The path towards Integrated Mastery requires work, period. It is not given for free. 

I would think God has lost the plot if I had to go through hundreds of lifetimes to learn the thousands if not millions of lessons and then be told that I can now become a Master without doing any work.

Passing initiations and being a Master means - thinking, feeling, acting, behaving, speaking, eating, breathing, sleeping, meditating, exercising, accomplishing, organizing, creating, manifesting, healing, teaching, learning, giving and receiving like one. 

I know no dispensations can do this for me. Only I can do this for myself with the help of God, spirit, the masters and the rest of my brothers and sisters on earth.

Namaste.
