Personally I do not see how my small so finite brain can absorb all the knowledge known in the universe and beyond, if I could do that I would be the equal to God and to that no thank you I don't want the job. Though I do like the little tidbits I have been shown, and any one can do it if that is what there interest is. Thankfully every ones interest are not the same, it would be an awful boring world
Everyone has their own path to travel, and that path is special because it is their path and totally unique them, although there are similarities to other paths but that is true of all paths. What is enlightenment for one is not always enlightenment for another. Today I watched one of the local wild parrots that visit my feeders reached enlightenment today when it flew into my living room using it as a short cut only to find the path is blocked by a window. and reversed its direction and flew out again unharmed. What really amazes me is that these very wild birds (they have been breeding wild for over 100 years) have enough of a feeling of safety to fly into a humans house. Yes that bird reached the enlightenment that there is not a through house passage.
