Hmmmm, sounds like rationalization to me. Nothing personal, there's a 
lot of it going around.:-)You yourself have indicated  many times that 
enlightenment comes and goes for you, so though it may be always 
present, you appear to lose it frequently, and therefore your 
perception of it is something you pursue.

Is enlightenment a McGuffin? Yep- probably, because it is meaningless 
by itself.:-)
