# ''Financial barriers'' to study are barriers caused by inability to pay for training. The LP removes financial barriers by providing inexpensive instructional content and completely free access to ''The SpiritWiki''. The SpiritWiki contains all LP concepts and theories clearly defined, completely accessible, and totally exposed to the world. To study the Lightning Path, you don’t need to pay a thing. Anybody with the time to sort it all out for themselves can do so freely by accessing through the SpiritWiki.
# ''Financial barriers'' to study are barriers caused by the inability to pay for access to education and training.  
# ''Cognitive barriers'' are things like bias, misconception, and confusion that make it hard to think about and understand spiritual concepts and ideas. This confusion is caused by lots of different things, like priests who are more concerned with social control, by poorly written translations of teachings that are centuries old, and, as we will see later, by deliberate interference from people who don't want you to know the empowering truth about your [wiki]Spiritual Ego[/wiki]. The LP removes cognitive barriers, as we have already seen, by carefully defining and interlinking all its concepts and ideas in a single place–the SpiritWiki. This careful definition and interlinking provides a open space for teaching that makes it easy for even total beginners to wrap their head around the Lightning Path teachings. It also helps prevent interference since the SpiritWiki allows us to maintain tight control of its concepts and ideas.

# ''Emotional barriers'' are caused by emotions that block a person from even considering spiritual teachings. These include emotions like fear, anxiety, self-deprecation, or even anger. These emotions arise from many different places. For example, a Catholic who has experienced religious abuse might reject all forms of religion as abusive. A person who fears hell may not want to examine what they perceive as frightening spiritual truths. A child that has been constantly told they are stupid may not feel worthy or competent to study the teachings. The LP removes these emotional barriers in several ways, by adhering to a strict policy of non-violence in both teachings and action, by being open, accessible, welcoming, and  inclusive of all people, and by building up people’s sense of self and self esteem by reinforcing positive messages of authentic empowerment. This open, inclusive, respectful, honest, and empowering approach ''supports trust and engagement'' which, over time and with the help of carefully constructed LP content, gradually removes emotional barriers.

For example, a Catholic who has experienced religious indoctrination and abuse might reject all forms of religion and "religious" discourse as abusive. A child whose self-image has not been nurtured, or that that has been constantly told they are stupid may not feel worthy or competent to study and learn.  
# ''Neurological barriers'' are barriers to study caused by bodily systems damaged by Toxic Socialization. The LP helps remove neurological barriers with the HEALING Framework, specifically by encouraging the creation of healing environments and the informed use of neurological medicines, like Psilocybin or Ketamine, both of which can help heal damaged neurological structures.<ref>Catlow, B.
