Yes, I have never been one to keep enlightenment a secret. I am just pointing out that there may be much that remains to be done *after* enlightenment, including realizing the relative and self-reflective nature of all of our stories, of every particle in our awareness. In fact, enlightenment or non-enlightenment are really not the issue; removing the suffering around believing our stories may be practiced through self-inquiry at any time, whether or not we tell ourselves/others we're enlightened :-)
