Limiting the word, alive, to the apparent physical realm, and the word, individual, as what's indivisible: I say the collective world body politic when its in agreement. One part of the world influences the other, so is indivisible from itself,; it contains every human mind available as its neurons, and its line of communication as its axial propagation of mass thought; and, its agreements as its developmental movement.
Though it is afflicted with the gross malady of of uncoordinated effort, doubt, and self derision. Even this brings an evident self awareness of its state, and must therefore be considered as a very founding stone of the path of enlightenment, the act of bringing what was hidden in darkness to light for the seeing eyes.
Therefore an amicable, knowledgeable, self-aware world, as one whole entity, is by far the most encompassing enlightened individual in the physically -known- universe. I suspect there is more development available [elsewhere], and consequently, possible here.
God bless.
PS The word, world, may be replaced by universe if longer expanses of time are considered timely, today...

My cat, actually. He is very wise and mysterious and always seems to know 'what's up'. He wasted no time hiding under the couch when I decided to dye the white stripe on his forehead purple with grape kool-aid. I didn't even get within 4 feet of him. I was so disappointed. Black and purple are so lovely together, don't you think?
If the cat isn't enlightened, he must be psychic...

Probably some hermit sage living on a mountain in Nepal that no one has ever heard of.

Dr. David R. Hawkins
...not quite at the level of Jesus or Buddha or Krishna or Zoroaster or any of the great avatars...but he's pretty close!
For reference I'd reccommend his book "I: Reality and Subjectivity"...or the book "Truth vs. Falsehood: How to Tell the Difference".
Profound, life transforming material.
