I've always thought that enlightenment is down to genetic pre-
disposition. Some "get" the experience and some don't. But I doubt 
science would even notice a gene like that as, at the moment, they 
have to test discoveries against a population and it's unlikely they 
would be looking for something like this as it's only people like me 
that have it* and we need to have uncovered the potential in 
ourselves to be able to tell them there is something worth looking 
for. Maybe in the future they will be able to look at any gene and 
say immediately what it does, but as they've only just realised that 
what they thought was "junk" is in fact used for something.

*I Heard the Ved once and was told to get on purusha as my nervous 
system is obviously capable of that level of refinement Apparently 
purusha would help it stabilise, this guy, now a raja, said. 
Unfortunately I couldn't be bothered so the world is one rishi less 
tonight.

If the TMO pulled it's finger out and did some decent science, it 
might very well become all the rage.
