Good question.

@Zanoni look at your hand. Enlightenment is the self-realization that your hand is more than that, a pure miracle, this.

Seeing things as they are.

A fancy term for the recontexualization of your perception of reality.

I also like how @Tim R puts it.

@allislove Oooooh, I see!

Enlightenment is tripping...

Got it  

[allislove]

@Johnny5 yes, when the distinctions between tripping and non-tripping are collapsing ☺️

And what about the distinction between enlightenment and unenlightenment?

[Someone here]

Two ways to think of it.. 

1 the present moment.  This is it. You are already enlightened. All is well. 

2 becoming directly conscious of the ACTUAL answer to deep metaphysical questions such as "who am I"?  "what is the fundamental nature of reality"? "what is God and does it exist"?  What is Consciousness "? Etc 

[allislove]

@Johnny5 every human being is capable of self-realization. That's the matter of open-mindedness and desire for Truth. ??

I feel as on a mild dose of acid every day, no psychedelics for 3 months or so

@Gesundheit that's a really good question.

Relatively, there is a spiritual seeker for whom this pointer may be not useful at all, especially at the beginning of the so-called spiritual path.

@Someone here I am impressed by the clarity of your answers lately

@allislove I'm always clear my bro.  Someone here doesn't fuck around.
