True enlightenment is never self proclaimed or sold.
Remember this for when dealing with those that believe they have more 'advanced' and 'evolved' information than the rest, or bold enough to call themselves a higher advanced life form. When true enlightenment is obtained, it is realized that what we know is very little and that absolute truth can never be explained and only experienced internally.
Before enlightenment, humility is learned.
This is not to say those that share their experiences towards the path of enlightenment are false, there are many teachers in the world. But those with actual understanding can only offer assistance, never a method, and never attach a price to wisdom.
The greatest philosophers and teachers of our time have been poor, simple and kind. They did not rely on money, but on their own knowledge and the compassion of those who loved them for their knowledge.
Books in the modern day are an exception. It is a company that usually publishes a book, not the author. If the teacher wants to distribute his wisdom to others, he will write. If he wants many others to read he will publish. If it is to be published, the publisher will want profits. So do not be fooled by the smoke and mirrors of modern society to find some truth. Just be aware, that those who consider themselves enlightened still have much more to learn.
Finally, enlightenment can only happen to those who seek it. Fear of knowing that what we know is nearly nothing, is the largest obstacle to face.
The ego is ultimate, the truth is infinite. To face both with all eyes open is undefinable.
