Notes
The term enlightenment was popularized by "the German philologist and Orientalist Max Müller (1823–1900), who translated the Sanskrit bodhi as enlightenment."[1]
Note the Sanskrit term Bodhi has a wider meaning then just awakening: awakening, illuminated, enlightened, having attained perfect knowledge and truth, etc.
According to the LP, Enlightenment (more appropriately known as Awakening), is the process of filling "the cup" with Consciousness. It is the ongoing process whereby the monadic consciousness seats itself in the Physical Unit. Awakening is a physical process and depends largely on proper Development of the physical unit. A physical unit that has been properly Developed will awaken (i.e. enlighten) as part of the natural maturation and Connection process.
According to R.M. Bucke, this "intellectual enlightenment or illumination" is so potent and powerful that it can "place the individual on a new plane of existence—would make him almost a member of a new species."[2]
There's a lot of confusion in the literature on what enlightenment means.
As used in the new age movement, it is an opaque[3] and easily confused concept.
