"Enlightenment is a process of peeling back the many layers of the ego to experience your true radiant Infinite Self. It is a process of opening to your innermost being, and as a result to the entire Universe! Reaching towards the center of "you" you may find a spiritual cyclone. Yet, keep diving, beyond that there is a deep stillness. In the very essence of your being is where your true spiritual knowledge resides. This is the Source of your Reality and Universe. As you continuously rest deeper into the quiet peaceful still center in the heart of your being, you will eventually awaken to the Divine being you truly are. The longer you can abide in this center, the faster you'll find yourself manifesting a rich life, full of depth, meaning, clarity, love and abundant with bliss." By Jafree Ozwald 2006

The Spiritual Awakening of ones senses ! Thats spiritual enlightenment. Some believe we all have an aura or presence about us, that were not just a physical whole but mainly a spiritual self. With enlightenment you are not only attuned to your senses, peace and harmony but may also be able to visualize this aura surrounding everyone ! To the extent where you can see the colours and configuration change with each mood the person is experiencing. Thus a heightening of the senses !

Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is the incapacity to use one's own understanding without the guidance of another. Such tutelage is self-imposed if its cause is not lack of intelligence, but rather a lack of determination and courage to use one's intelligence without being guided by another.
Immanuel Kant, 1784

in western culture...
enlightenment is seeing past the veil or religion, being able to question what is told and preeched, and giving it your own view.
in this case society got enlightened during the renaissance.
in eastern culture enlightenment is the highest state of awarenes. attained by siddartha when he became the buddha.
