is enlightenment more of a subjective experience that is catalyzed by an accumulation of a larger positive/negative knowledge from experience?



or something that can be taught by a teacher and realized at a given time and place in space/time?

I would say bong hits help

But seriously, if you can learn from a teacher, or you can learn by teaching, are you not the student and the teacher simultaneously ?

I would not even try to explain enlightenment and what truly what it is for a fully enlighten being :) my own wisdom is far from good enough to give a true answer.

All experience is subjective. Science attempts to eliminate bias as much as possible. I don't see science tackling enlightenment any time soon.

Are not the lessons of a teacher a subjective experience that is catalyzed by an accumulation of a larger positive/negative knowledge from experience?

If a teacher could teach enlightenment, he'd have a lot of followers. Some do make the claim, but there is little proof of success.

So that leaves it on the individual.
