King Phenomenon
I’ll never forget the day that everything became clear to me as to what life was all about. I kept asking myself what does this (life) all mean. Then it hit me that someone living on earth held all of existence in their hands. I instantly believed it whole heartedly. It made so much sense. It came about pretty quick too. It’s not like I was searching for years. It really wasn’t that long that I was pondering it. That was fifteen years ago. I have to say it’s pretty cool knowing how we got here and how it will all end.

Someone is not all existence or we/them. You don't hold my existence in your hands. The falsification of that is that I can do it differently.

The thought or belief that one is somehow special or superior to anyone else because of what they are or what they know or think they know...this is not enlightenment.

It is to them. I just do it differently and thus to them, I am not enlighted. That is subjective as far as I can tell.

Too bad these things have a shelf life.

Are you saying that Enlightenment is about having an idea about Oneness? Can you describe anything else about this in terms of experience, rather than a mental concept about reality you came to through a process of pondering ideas?

I'd never think to call an Enlightenment experience, or Realization, or Awakening experience, as "pretty cool". Are you sure Enlightenment is the right thing to call this?
