By seeking it not for our self (ego) but for all of humanity (we are One). Every human is either building up or unraveling their egoic layers; their survival based fears which have been pushed into the subconscious. The ones who are on the unraveling side can be any religion or no religion at all; atheist or believer. Regardless of tradition or belief (both which stem from ego not God within) once this unraveling begins, the thing that keeps it moving forward is the desire and ability to define the experience.
There are different levels of transformation.... and what keeps us moving on to the next level is willingness to surrender everything we have thought we 'know' at the current level. Until we are Transcended, and released from the 'wheel of karma' - which is the egoic need to produce more unconsciousness....we are not reborn yet and therefore have nothing to do but the inner work of being reborn. Many so called 'Spiritual Masters' have not yet reached the level of complete transcendence. This is obvious if they are trying to attract 'followers' or 'teach' -- because there is only ONE way to complete Transcendence and Enlightenment, and that is through God within. No teacher, tradition or religion is needed for this evolutionary leap into our highest potential. In fact, if there is an intermediary, the chances of reaching full release from ego are slim.
Once '2 or more are gathered' (2 or more truly enlightened people) then Enlightened Community begins ....in effect a whole new level of Humanity is reached and we become what we are intended to Be -- evolutionarily speaking ~
The question is, are you consciously unraveling egoic layers yet? If Yes, continue defining your experience at the level you are at and letting go of all beliefs and assumptions you now hold about Enlightenment ~ including everything I've just said. :-) You need to find these answers within YOU and see that everything you need has been imprinted on your soul since the very beginning of Creation. If you are not yet consciously unraveling egoic layers, then go within and ask for the process to begin ~ask for Light to shine away all ignorance and unconsciousness within you.
There is nothing magical or supernatural about Enlightenment. It is perfectly scientific ~ it is what we are intended to be when we develop fully on every level of our being. The problem is that young children are not being taught, by the age of 3, how to develop their moral cognitive 'line'...... or develop their emotional awareness so that they don't start their own 'production' of unconsciousness. Once we as a society learn how to teach our children to develop, we will grow into our highest potential as humans. We just haven't figured this out yet, collectively. Once this cognitive moral development kicks in (no matter what your age), crashing head on into God is just a matter of 'time.' But the longer we wait to begin this development the more egoic sludge builds up in the subconscious, making it more difficult although never impossible, to unravel the WHOLE way down to our Enlightened True Nature.
Aloha ~ and blessings of Enlightenment your way :-)

By abandoning the notion that Religeon will cure all evils in the world. By accepting that others have different ways of thinking/philosophizing. By keeping an open mind to other possiblities, rather than having one narrow defined viewpoint that does not allow for debate, questions or openmindedness. And by atttempting to learn ourselves, rather than lazily accepting everything we are told as the absolutel truth.

Only in The Way God proscribes.
If you are not willing to do that... then just flip the switch. That about the best you can do as a mortal man.

Study hard at a university. Ignorance is the root of all evil and the life-blood of all religion.

we don't search , it comes to us and through us.It is not physical,nor emotional, but spiritual. Prayer, fasting, meditation and peace. you will be able to "find" it in the laugh of a child,song of the wind, and in the tones of silence....
