The term “enlightenment” began as a Buddhist concept, it was seen as a state of spiritual maturity, then in the 18th century it became a non-spiritual philosophical movement; where people were said to have enlightened ideas. Sort of like today when people call other people “woke.”
Although enlightenment in the spiritual sense is a transformational experience of great insight. It is not the end of a journey rather it is the beginning of a new journey. Enlightenment literally means to have your own inner light on very brightly shinning forth and your consciousness literally bathing in that light. It is a state of great spiritual light.
A person who is spiritually enlightened will most likely never say that they are enlightened, because it is a humble and natural state of being. If a person says they are enlightened they most likely are not enlightened. Enlightenment is just another step on the way in a continuing journey of growing into more and more divine light.:biggrin:
