Yep, and so-called enlightenment or cosmic consciousness (or a hundred other words for 'it') is a real easy thing to idealize and convince ourselves that is somehwre else, or waiting for us in the future , if only ...

If only doing everything right and behaving a certain way was what it took ,
well then, it would be easy....but wait, it IS easy , because it's what we are , it is .... that which is . So, when we're thinking about how we're not there yet, we make that so, for the time we're thinking it.

Quite an effective delusion .... or is it ?
