## Resource

Expensive Online Courses Are Usually Bollocks Niles Heckman Download Back in ancient days of higher consciousness we had wise sages in nature on foggy mountaintops who would meditate in the center of stone circles. Now in late stage sugar and plastic plutocracy that has far too often been replaced by funnel marketers, the most "successful" of whom have McMansions on hills. The guru archetype has been digitized, fragmented into thumbnails and webinars and countdown timers. What was once initiation into mystery has become... “Unlock My Seven-Figure Blueprint.” These insight sub-episodes are mirrored on our primary YouTube channel which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@NilesHeckman/videos
