evidently not... for I am truly struggling. I consider myself to be experienced, old enough to have figured things out by now.
I find myself with more questions and fewer answers than at any time in my life. Perhaps true enlightenment, spiritual fulfillment and total consciousness are unreachable goals, but we should continue striving nonetheless, for it ensures that we will always be growing, improving, and above all, contributing positive karma into the continuum.

The sooner that you accept the fact that there is no real reason for your life, anymore than that of a fish, dog, cat, rat, elephant, flea or spider, the sooner you can come to peace with the fact that you are alive for a very short time and then you die just like all the other living things before you. The sooner you accept this fact, you will stop wasting the precious time you have left alive worrying that you are worshiping the right stuff. Get over religion and start living, life is too short to cling to someone Else's philosophies. At this point you will understand how to value your life. At this point you will begin to live your life for you and not some one else.

You get better, but not to a "truly able" level

It's called old age, but by then it's too late to do much of anything.
That's where the cliche "youth is waisted on the young" comes from.

There's an old saying: Too soon we get old; Too late we get smart.
It's too bad that people don't appreciate the wisdom of older people. In Asian countries the elderly are revered and respected.

I believe when we are closest to death and real death is imminent and certain that at that point we do. I've been very close a number of times and began to get that feeling .

No. But there will coe a point in time at death that we will be allowed to understand all that we can.

The more you know, the more you know there is to know. When you become one with God, then you will be truly enlightened.
