Are people really ready for enlightenment? (Footprints to Ox's tail to Riding the Ox Backwards)

Or, do they need to work on life purpose first along with a required Hero's Journey keeping the following in mind?

Enlightenment means internal peace. That's what we all have - peace as the only emotion internally. All the other emotions - fear, anxiety, sadness, anger, rage, lust, etc., are all created and conditioned by us ever since childhood. Happiness means peace, but we interpret it as excitement, which is only temporary. 

Knowing this, we know that we are "2-faced," our true-self which is peace and our false-self, the ego (all the human emotions we created). If we continue to choose our peace side, we are better able to focus on important things, such as life purpose, Hero's Journey, and family.

Okay, I'll consider it


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

Learning about the ego through enlightenment experiences & simple understanding of enlightenment...

Negative voice and emotion = fictional ego...the thought that helps you to solve problems, go for your life purpose, go for transendence morality, seek for enlightenment that is coming from the "everythingness" and "nothingness" is your true self. This is what "you" call being enlightened. In the end, "you" want to contribute to peace in this world.

Having enlightenment experiences is different from being enlightened. Enlightenment experiences are outer body experiences or any wisdom that you get that gives out of the ordinary/meaningful info in life. It helps you understand your fictional ego.

Question:

If something fell into a blackhole, what happens to it? No one knows the answer to this. (Typical answer.)

If you think about it, life "doesn't make sense" if you try to map everything out. Blackholes don't make sense too.

Are we living in a blackhole (Riding the Ox Backwards)?

@Snick

There is a book, Leo talked about called the hero's journey. Read it. I believe it is available online for free.
