Becoming Yourself

[allfoak]

Even the title of the thread says it is something we become.
Most understand it to be a process.
Just learning that we have a conscience and using it, is not "enlightenment".

I think it is. See the word "light" in enlightenment? The light is for seeing the right way to go. Everyone has the ability to go the right way. Isn't that so?

Everyone has the ability.
What you describe is light to point the way.
The Way is what i am talking about not the light to follow it.

Are you saying that enlightenment means knowing the way? Does enlightenment mean knowing the way, the whole way and nothing but the way?

I don't think enlightenment means knowing the way.
