Don't believe there is such a thing as "enlightened." The best of us are barely more than animals, and too much of the brain is inaccessible to our executive function for me to buy stories about that stuff. If enlightenment was A) real, and B) useful, conferring a practical advantage in *any* field, we'd see it in the world in unambiguous ways.
