What does enlightenment mean to you? Share your thoughts in the comments
In the near future, it is my intention, as I have stated here, to write a series of articles about the essence of enlightenment and its practical implications in our lives. Right now, I am in the middle of structuring the themes and I realize it can go in several directions. In order to set the one that is most appropriate, I ask for your inputs –

What does enlightenment mean to you?
- Please note that I am not looking for Wikipedia's quotes or philosophical arguments. I am mostly interested to know what you think or feel enlightenment is. If needed, do take the time to reflect on the issue. In the coming week, I will collect all your valuable comments to fine tune the articles.
- Since there is no right or wrong answer, and for the sake of impartiality, I will refrain from commenting on any of your contributions but do know that I will read each of them and may use your wisdom throughout the coming year for the posts themselves.
- Thank you for being pioneers of consciousness; Indeed not followers, but masters in your own right.
Loved this idea:)
Enlightenment for me is this moment when something clicks- when you finally manage to step over an absticl that you've been battling against for a while. It could be related to a moment of understanding something mental and emotional, and it could be something that relates to a change you've been trying to make and finally manage to take the first steps.
To me enlightenment is a moment, but also an ongoing state of being "enlightened" - past that moment. Enlightenment to me is the moment knowledge turns into a realization. When information in our brain receives extensive context that changes not only our view of a specific situation, but the way we perceive ourselves and our existence from a broader perspective.
I think the word "enlightenment" describes the sensation of realization and full acceptance of something quite well. It's like a light turns on in one's mind, showing things that were previously hidden in the dark.
I'm simply saying that there is a way to be sane. I'm saying that you can get rid of all this insanity created by the past in you. Just by being a simple witness of your thought processes.
It is simply sitting silently, witnessing the thoughts, passing before you. Just witnessing, not interfering not even judging, because the moment you judge you have lost the pure witness. The moment you say “this is good, this is bad,” you have already jumped onto the thought process.
It takes a little time to create a gap between the witness and the mind. Once the gap is there, you are in for a great surprise, that you are not the mind, that you are the witness, a watcher.
And this process of watching is the very alchemy of real religion. Because as you become more and more deeply rooted in witnessing, thoughts start disappearing. You are, but the mind is utterly empty.
That’s the moment of enlightenment. That is the moment that you become for the first time an unconditioned, sane, really free human being.
Enlightment means flourishing of your soul when it sees no good or bad, when it rises above all hate and interbeliefs...it's means belongingness of ones among the humans
From my own point of view,The state of attaining spiritual knowledge is been enlightened..
Enlightenment to me means the inner epiphany that in this Universe of duality the Light and Dark are inevitably glued together like two sides of a coin, yet even while experiencing the temporary dream of illusory Separation we have always been safe and sound, for we never left Oneness to begin with. Within the perpetual dream of Oneness we were longing for the temporary dream of illusory Separation, knowing that it won't have any consequences once we wake up.
I think that enlightenment with the emergence of awareness of the plan of life in the world today, new thinking, new point of view all of which include self-improvement ..
is very important because the enlightenment of the form of responses from the stimulus generated cast in communication in accordance with the results of learning.
Enlightenment is about knowledge and awareness @nomad-magus
