Enlightenment is a term used by many schools of thought under many definitions which generally fall under an event or state of being characterized by the embodiment of some higher universal or esoteric knowledge or ideal(s). In some cases, those who are enlightened are said to be able to perform miracles and other supernatural feats.[1] It's often the case that these variations of enlightenment are said to be highly personal, complex, and hard to communicate.[2]
