The internet is without a doubt a great invention. One can spend hours and hours browsing through the thousands of interesting and billions of uninteresting websites. But there are sites and ideas that float around which should make people weary. I am referring to websites that supposedly can make your life happier and more fulfilled with mystic techniques and highly complex knowledge. Websites that advertise with some guru who knows the secret to success and if you pay a minimal fee he can help you obtain that success or happiness you have always dreamed of. The formula is often the same. They use many complicated and exotic sounding words, combine these with the 7 spheres or the 11 gates of chakra or maybe even the 33 levels of balderdash. Some universal energy is mixed into the equation as well and voila, we have obtained the other worldly theory that could save us all. A lot of the time these people add in snippets of fake science or pseudoscience to make it sound better.
Of course there will be people who claim that this method or that knowledge has helped them in their quest. That may be a legitimate claim but it is more likely that their belief was strong enough for changes to manifest in their life. The point to realize is that these people could have obtained this positive influence without having had to pay the money. If these gurus were truly out to open people’s eyes, if they were truly enlightened they would not be asking for money in compensation. The point I am trying to make is that, these offers sell you a product that may work for whatever reason, but it will not open your eyes as to why, it will not give you yourself the power to change things. After you have purchased this product none of those big scientific of mystic sounding words will be anymore comprehensible to you than before.
The fact to remember with any kind of product you buy is that you should understand the background of it. If the seller is trying to make you buy it by throwing concepts and ideas at you that you can’t ever hope to understand then chances are they are not going to exchange anything worth your money.
So however good the offer may seem, keep the money for materialistic purposes. One of the most famous sayings goes: Money can’t buy happiness. And the truth about this is that happiness, fulfilment and enlightenment comes from within you. No physical goods, no actions, no words and no ideas can help you find happiness or fulfilment if you do not have the prerequisites within you.
All I am saying is that those king of websites are never to be trusted completely as they are so intransparent that one can never tell the motives behind.
Imagine a huge mansion. This mansion is so vast that you will most likely never be able to see every room within. This mansion represents your mind or soul or whichever word you chose to describe it. In your hands you hold the key to every single room in the building. Every room represents an emotion, a feeling or a sense of being. Each room basically represents an experience of your future, past and present life. With these keys in your hand you can enter any room you like, but you were told that you can only open one room at a time. And of course you never doubt that rule. You never doubt the very fact that it is impossible to open more rooms than one. This would be your average never questioning person.
Some people spend a lot of their time in the happy rooms while some spend their time in sad and depressing rooms. They accept this just like the fact that they can only be in one room at a time or that it may seem impossible to move from one room to the other without being led there by an outside inlfuence.
An enlightened person in contrast will have a totally different perspective. If you are enlightened, every single one of these endless rooms will stand open to you. You are able to peer into every emotion, every experience and feeling at the same time. And all these things come together to form the perception of the enlightened. You can feel sadness or happiness but at the same time you feel all the endless other things that are present in your mind. No one thing will consume you while you are open to everything. Now you are experiencing the full, the complete experience of being, while before only ever one single fraction of that whole was open to you.
Trying to explain enlightenment is like trying to explain a ridiculously hard maths concept. In order to truly understand it I can not just tell you how it works, but you will have to wrap your head around it yourself, you will have to truly understand the idea and feel the idea expand in your mind.
Now if you compare this explanation of fulfilment or enlightenment to those found on so many fake or not so fake websites, I hope you understand that one does not need incredibly complex concepts and mind bogglingly exotic and mystic words to explain what is happening. If one truly understands the essence of being and enlightenment than one has no need to charge people for this information, one only wants to give others the possibility to experience this incredible understanding of the one universe.
