Why modern society at large has no clue about enlightenment?

@Okaythen ...ah life as a drama. An actor playing the role. Without the bad the good would have no meaning lol 

 

This is one way of looking at it from a distance

@Monkey-man it might have something to do with the verbiage suggesting enlightenment is a joke. I have come across this lately on the forum and online in general.

@Monkey-man and @Leo Gura, I feel the reason it's hard to understand enlightenment and express truth is due to humanity's reluctance to be held accountable/responsible.  it's personal insecurity, lack of sense of self/personal value (that's not based outside) , and understanding of self that prevents this.  when we become self aware, i found it also enables us to relate to others more simply because we're more honest with ourselves.  as far as humanity and expressing truth goes, we can only express half truths based on our own perspective and experience.  when we find ways to relate and compare the common denominators, the real truth comes to light.  truth is the sum, not individual pieces.

The Mind resists enlightenment and makes it look like a very unwise route.  Psychedelics are stigmatized.  In the West we have been blocked from Indian and Chinese Philosophies.  Religions keep people up to their eyeballs in the Ego Paradigm.  Hippies and liberals and new agers are stigmatized as bratty children instead of listened to for their wisdom.
