There are so many courses on spirituality and still why are so many still looking?

 

Spiritual courses market things like “kundalini awakening,” “consciousness shift,” and “wake up from the illusion,” and while all of that can be helpful, I asked myself, “Does it serve me?” Does it enrich my life?

Many lure people into their courses, promising big consciousness shifts, sometimes starting at 2,000 dollars. If you observe this trend, you may think spirituality has become a new luxury good. Is it another trend we chase, I asked myself? Earlier in our lives, some of us used to invest our money in fancy bags. Now we’re investing in courses, hoping to discover happiness, heal, or attract abundance.

One day, despite attending numerous courses, I found myself unable to manifest my desires. I still couldn’t attract abundance. Believe it or not, I had participated in dozens of abundance courses led by mentors who either held or claimed to hold a high level of consciousness and who shared or claimed to share highly effective light codes. What was I doing wrong? I still couldn’t attract abundance in the long term. It was rather short-term success, not something sustainable.

Until one day, I tuned in to my intuition. I was frustrated: I asked my intuition, "Why can I still not attract abundance?" Why can I still not manifest? I have already done so many light code activations. And my intuition said the most shocking phrase to me.

What??? I thought. It was not the answer I wanted to hear.

First, I was in denial with the answer I heard. And that’s quite typical for the intuition. It can give you answers you don’t like or don’t want to hear. But later you notice how exactly those answers can help you evolve. And I asked my intuition, "Will I be even more lost for answers?""

 

And guess what? Another shocking answer appeared: 

Oh, damn, I was apparently part of them. But I could soon sense it was not in a bad way. It was supposed to tell me a more profound message: to wake me up from the illusion. And waking up wasn’t stimulated in a course. That waking up came from deep within myself. That was the moment I experienced my first realization: 

 

I had invested a significant amount of money in various courses, and I found myself repeatedly asking the same questions: Why am I not experiencing success? Why can I not manifest? What is holding me back from abundance?

 

Until the next realization came: 

Oh damn, that was so hurtful. I trusted other mentors more than my intuition.

In that moment, my higher self came through, saying: “I activate you; no one else outside of you has to. I am your guide; no one else out there is.”

Boom, another shocking answer.

Again, this was another answer I would rather not hear or expect. It brought up anger within me, too, realizing how little I could trust myself.

But it was precisely what I needed to hear. In fact, looking back, I realized I was waking up from the deeper illusion. The illusion is that you need an abundance course to attract abundance. I’m not saying that you should avoid taking abundance courses. But if you’ve already done 100 courses or read the 100 tips on abundance, well guess what, the 101st abundance course or tip may not necessarily give you the answers you’re looking or hoping for.

It was when I had another big realization: there comes a time you need to trust yourself. You must trust your own intuition. You can’t rely on mentors and courses.

So many people become dependent on mentors or courses. This dependency is precisely what can prevent you from accessing your true power. Participating in a course implies that you are saying, “I need to find the answers out there.” So what did I do then?

I did a lot of self-reflection and journaling. And that was my path to abundance. Not by consuming another course and listening to another technique, another lightcode activation, or another affirmation practice that stressed me out. But by connecting deeper with my patterns, my behaviors, my thoughts, my emotions, and my perceptions.

What was the most remarkable result of this new approach? When I just focused on introspection, quieting the mind, and connecting with my intuition on my next step, I suddenly felt as empowered as never before. There was first a whirlwind of emotions and inner chaos/turmoil, but after a couple of weeks, there was much more clarity, more calmness, and more certainty on the next step and my purpose than I have ever felt before.

 

And yes, even if it means you make mistakes, well, that’s part of life. That’s how you learn. I spent a couple of months in deep introspection. I journaled each day. I sat with my emotions. And finally the answers appeared. New insights arose. New ideas and projects popped up. They appeared unexpectedly. I didn’t chase another abundance course, another activation, or another God-knows-what. And occasionally, it showed me that it’s fairly easy to participate in or even hold a course. It’s so challenging to embody what you learn or even teach.

And I had another important lesson: Each soul has their unique codes. Each soul activates those codes when they’re ready. And if you’re not ready, then you don’t have to force your progress.

Instead, you can find your own inner rhythm, your own soul rhythm that takes you so naturally. Step by step. Without force. Without pressure. There is no pressure to succeed. Oh, there’s a lot of joy. The joy lies in the process of co-creation. It's the joy of finding your own inner rhythm. And that’s a moment when finally new ideas and abundance can arrive. Not from you trying harder or doing more. It's rather about being more authentic and true to ourselves. We should trust our own intuition and proceed with the action we feel guided to take in this moment. Because ultimately, when you desperately search for answers in a course, you are sending a signal to the universe, “I’m a victim. I don’t know what to do.” 

It’s duality. There is a dichotomy between the victim and the hero.

If there were no victims, there wouldn't be any heros or saviors, charging hundreds if not thousands for spiritual guidance. For techniques and answers that can be found within yourself, too. This conclusion is a personal observation, not a generalization or judgment, and may not apply to all courses or mentors. I observed this phenomenon in more cases than I had hoped to encounter. Some people start getting frustrated at the high rates. But it's not always a high rate that determines the effectiveness of a course or gives you the results you are hoping for.

True sovereignty starts when you realize you’re not powerless. You’re as powerful as your mentor. You’re as powerful as everyone else. You hold all the answers within you. You hold unique codes that only you can share with the world. That’s the path to sovereignty. By claiming it. By embodying it. By allowing yourself to have your own realizations. This involves embracing the process of self-exploration, instead of relying on external sources for answers or healing. So the most painful, yet powerful, realization I had was that you don’t always need an expensive course to progress. Sometimes, all it takes is time to connect with yourself and your intuition. And you know what? It’s free. It costs 0 cents to connect with your intuition. Your guides are there for you. They are beings with so much wisdom. They stand by your side. They don’t expect one cent/penny in return.

Nevertheless, it doesn't mean you can't take courses. It can be helpful to find some inspiration without becoming dependent. I am grateful for the courses I took, as sometimes general guidance can be valuable. But if you keep chasing the answers by doing course after course without seeing true manifestation or abundance results, there comes a point where you have to evaluate if the courses still serve you or have served their purpose.

That can be a life-changing decision. It was the moment I realized that if I truly wanted to attract a life of abundance in all areas, not just financially, I needed to stop relying on others and start building my own future. I had to co-create with my energy, guided by my intuition. That was true self-empowerment.

In the end, spirituality is not a fancy term; it comes from deep embodiment. It involves embodying more of your spirit. No one else can do that for you. It’s not a one-time event; it’s an ongoing process. Since then, life has become my teacher. I learn from life. I learn through experimenting. That’s how I created my business without any prior business experience. That's how I do a lot of things intuitively. Were there failures? There were numerous failures! It showed my limitations, precisely my limiting beliefs, something I could never spot or learn in a course, but only from real-life experiences.

Money or financial abundance in particular doesn’t always come from simply thinking about it; it also requires you to be more authentic and to share with the world what you truly wish to express. And that, only you can know or find out. The most painful thing I experienced was to invest a couple of hundred, if not thousands, of dollars and not see the results I was hoping for. It reminded me of buying an expensive bag that still didn't make me feel happier than a cheaper one.

Why I share this is not to talk badly about any other mentors. But rather, to raise some awareness of a common problem I observe. The problem is that so many people invest in courses and report that they can’t manifest or perceive happiness. It’s not to evoke negative feelings, but to raise awareness and find alternative solutions for how we can make it more convenient and beneficial. Yes, this article may trigger some people, and not everyone would agree, but please note, as always, the content is my personal experience and views. 

P.S., next time you take the next course, ask yourself, does this course call me, or is it my desperation pulling me in?
