Enlightenment is achieved when you throw off the shackles of delusional superstitionism (Religious belief). The first sign a species is becoming sentient is when they have evolved to the point where they can abstract enough to invent a god. The first sign a species is achieving sentient maturity is when they get rid of their gods.

enlightenment is like a mirage in a desert. The longer you walk toward it, the farther the "oasis" seems to be.
Likewise, the more you learn the more you realize there is so much more you do not know.
