{{The Mission Statement}}
 
There are many online resources about Enlightenment, but a niche that doesn't have a lot of presence online are resources that
* Can be used by anyone, anytime, anywhere
* Are primarily self-directed
* Emphasize informal, rather than formal practices
* Emphasize short, repetitive, limited exercises that form a tapestry of practice
 
= Guiding Principles =
* Focus
** Everything should support The Mission
* Simplicity
** Do not reinvent the wheel - there are a lot of resources out there that provide so much information already
** Do not invent any new terms, or rely on terms that have too much baggage or have different interpretations.  See [[EE Wiki:About#Terminology|Terminology]] below.
** When in doubt don't add complexity to something that is good enough
* Humility
** Always give credit to other websites
** Do not make or endorse claims that cannot be substantiated, such as supernatural claims
** Continual improvement to the exercises and explanations - and if something is broken fix it, no matter how big
* Inclusion
** Anyone can use these exercises, regardless of their own path
** Exercises should be useful and accessible to a range of learners, including beginners and masters
