Don't you realize such an approach will attract only 'permanent seekers'? Those who want a truly delightful challenge for the ego: aim for an unachievable goal, 'enlightenment'. Won't have to go through the whole " aim, strive, succeed, boredom, depression, hopelessness, failure, hope, aim, strive... " cycle again for a long time, as the ego never gets to succeed at this one! Which is exactly what the 'ego momentum' wants, to (figuratively speaking) keep chasing its tail ever faster until it burrows through the earth's core and rockets into Chinese airspace... maybe then it will finally 'feel real'.

The seekers seem to get stuck in various spiritual " endless loops, " hamster wheels inside dark little boxes. Dreamy nonsenses taken to be Supreme Reality. Sometimes it's depressing in a way, a sort of Supreme Folly. Why not at least go compete on the job market or something, buy warmer clothes? :-O...
