maybe this will prove helpful - it's the ego that has a wish for enlightenment, to reach a state of greater importance so it may lay claim to an ownership of a self above all else. This isn't necessarily wrong, it may even lead to key insights that help in healing and reaching a point of a deeper understanding. The wish for joy, happiness, and diminished suffering is indeed a noble quest - however enlightenment is not a state of contentment, it's not the absence of any thought or experience. It's not for the ego to achieve, nor for it to lose. The ego is not even an obstacle to enlightenment. Only our belief that there is anything other than the singularity of this moment and all that appears within it keeps us from the revelation of our wholeness (holiness) Enlightenment is just a word, a false concept of what we are not (now) and what we may one day become. Without this belief - where do we find ourselves? Who, or what are we? There is no answer given in words - ask, inquire, allow the moment itself to answer.
And then continue as you truly are.
