An extreme interpretation of casting off material encumbrances might include those things, but I hope most don't.
I guess it depends on one's perspective and interpretation of "enlightenment"? Folks whom i respect a lot, like Bruce Moen, Bob Monroe, Rosiland McKnight, Edgar Cayce, etc., to me are certainly more aware and intune than the average, but
i wouldn't call them enlightened or even close to. Bruce for example, whom i highly highly respect, but my sense of his energies are that while pretty fast vibrating, it runs primarily along the deep blues, violets, and increasing golden light. People like Bruce, Monroe, Cayce, etc. are more what i consider incarnate messengers of the Gods so to speak. Mouthpieces for cosmic knowledge, but not perfected Avatars.
My interpretation of this very loaded word, is someone who is always fully aligned to Source consciousness.
There are certain automatic outer indicators of such a consciousness within an Earth or so i've put together from many different respected sources on the subject.
One is that such a person will have a pure White Light aura, blazing bright and pure way beyond the Sun, yet soothing, peaceful, and calming at the same time.
They do not age, never get sick, can translate their physical body beyond time/space "barriers" i.e. not limited, can be in many places at once, even physically.
A good example of such a person, is Bob Monroes account of "He/She" in his book
Ultimate Journey. Regardless of who He/She really is or isn't, according to what this person tells Bob telepathically, this person spends almost all of their physical linear time working various jobs to help and to interact with many people.
I doubt that He/She keeps the money from these jobs and is living the "high life" materially speaking.
He/She is also some 1800 years old or so. To me, this is
enlightenment or full Source consciousness alignment. This kind of degree and purity of
service, is part of what keeps He/She's body ever young and healthy (also knowing and believing that aging is an illusion, etc.) or so my guidance whispers to me.
The percentage of folks within the physical Earth near this attunement, is rather a very small one at this present cycle, or so my intuition tells me.
Yet it seems we are all in training to ultimately accomplish and re-remember this state of being, which is the real state of being, the one we all were once in.
Nobody said it had to be
easy to attain to while in the physical earth and while surrounded by physical considerations and conditions.
It seems in
some ways or respects, physical Earth is anti-Source consciousness, which is probably why those like Rosliland McKnight's guides Ah So and Radiant Lady say that the
physical Earth is essentially unreal from a more expanded perspective.
So i guess its pretty "relative" according to which perspective one is reasoning from, and to the individual?
