How is life purpose and enlightenment connected?

[StarStruck]

To me enlightenment is winning the battle inside of yourself and finding the source of peace and happiness while LP is expressing that. What do you guys think? Internal battle should be fought first. 

[Salvijus]

The quality, benefit, purity and impact of one's activity in the world (life purpose)

is directly related to how much of god's energy is flowing through that particular soul (level of en-Light-enment)

@Salvijus somebody who is in contact with his inner sun that is the source of the light 

[Leo Gura]

Awakening says nothing about what you will do with the rest of your life. Life Purpose is figuring out your life's work.

 But Awakening will give you clarity about your true passions and values, which you then ground your LP in.

Oooh. Lol. Nice.

Here's another one 

The only way one can serve life is if that one is in alignment with life, aka, has no will of her own, aka, one with god

Aka doing god’s work or being touched by the hand of god ??

I’m confused about the differences between enlightenment, awakening and so on. Is there a good source explaining the differences and connections of these terms?

[Leo Gura]

I will never again speak the word enlightenment. I only speak and teach Awakening.

A snippet from the Wikipedia article on nondualism:

Quote

The final character to attempt to describe ultimate reality is the bodhisattva Manjushri, who states:

It is in all beings wordless, speechless, shows no signs, is not possible of cognizance, and is above all questioning and answering.

Vimalakīrti responds to this statement by maintaining completely silent, therefore expressing that the nature of ultimate reality is ineffable (anabhilāpyatva) and inconceivable (acintyatā), beyond verbal designation (prapañca) or thought constructs (vikalpa)

At a certain point, you can read this quote and see the pure comedy of it.

the good dream vs. the god dream

enlightenment is god steering your life purpose as it sees fit with you hopping along joyfully for the ride

sweet dreams in either case
