If one relates enlightenment to some moments life than enlightenment which accepts it as a discipline / journey /evolutionary scheme of life , that kind of enlightenment (ascension so to say ) is better .

It may appear that enlightenment happiness can not be shared . Now this is true if the lense to view is purely material . But that is true even for material well being sharing. I sitting with billionaire or powerful president of a country does not in any way make me an inch better except some sense of having seen/met some person with some material achievement in life.

Spirituality that has conditions and strings attached is not spirituality in its truest form .Spirituality in now in the extant moment without strings attached , full of bliss without fear and worries ,and full of hope and optimism is true spirituality .

You, yes you, are as enlightened as anyone else.
Ask the man planting rice in the water fields of Vietnam - he'll explain it to you.

HaHa...yes very true. The most honest people are the ones who admit that they do not know what they are talking about.

It strikes me that as far as spiritual worlds go the only one being offered by enlightenment is the world of I AM. I have nothing against enlightenment as such except that the choice is very limited. It is either you know yourself or you don't.

Christianity offers much more. Through Christ one can not only know your own self, but also know others, the earth, know God, know society, know heaven etc. etc.

We can agree to differ as I don't see Enlightenment as you do...

Jesus was Enlightened

Jesus was Enlightened

And Jesus was empathic and compassionate and went through many challenges I would say . He suffered through his enlightened awareness ..
