To me Enlightenment is nebulous yet something we’re all working towards. It’s being a Bodhisattva. It’s knowing what to do, how to do it and when to do it ~ and even IF you do it! It’s doing (seemingly) nothing and yet everything gets done. It’s being close to God, feeling peacefully blissful, and being fully divine.
I think there are degrees, and people overestimate (to a humorous degree) how enlightened they really are! After enlightenment it is doubtful you would incarnate on Earth again ~ and if you do then you really are a Bodhisattva and that’s very rare.
I haven’t met anyone truly Enlightened (that would be Buddha and Jesus Christ, people LOL), but have met some Masters (an old Quaker lady, a stranger at an airport, a freaky soul family connection going back hundreds of years).
