My T has pointed out two moments of enlightenment (his word) that have happened in the past two weeks-- erm, times when he says I have experienced it.

I got that these moments were special and cool to experience, so I have some sense of what he meant. And by his labeling, I can identify some other moments of enlightenment by matching my emotional and mental state to what my T said was enlightenment.

However, these are absolutely transient moments that are not even close to some permanent state of being of enlightenment. I read a conference speaker's bio on the web the other day and it stated that he "had achieved the rare personal state of enlightenment."

I thought, what an @ss. Definitely not an enlightened response by me.
